Cool, I'll go buy the 1080p version of the moto x style.. Where can I get that exactly?

Sarcasm aside, everyone cool with this...didn't come to the moto x for the 2k screen. In fact, that equated zero percentage to the choice to buy this.

If you don't have anything helpful to say. Just move along. Period.
[X Style (Pure) General] Kevin-DC:
I'm hoping somebody thinks of something. The screen quality at 1080p and 1440p are indistinguishable to my eyes. But the way it screws with Moto Display is a deal breaker for the time being. I love Moto Display - it's my favorite feature on any smartphone I've ever used. (And I've used way, way too many...kind of technology junkie.)

I have Xposed framework installed on my phone and tried using the App Settings module, which lets you adjust individual apps resolution and dpi. I was hoping I could set Moto Display back to it's original resolution and DPI, but it doesn't give you the option to choose a 2k resolution. Also, like I mentioned above, changing the resolution to 1080 and the dpi to 420 jacks up the contact pic thumbnails in both my contacts app and in the dialer.

I'm hoping somebody figures this out, but for the time being I'm sticking with 1440p.
[X Style (Pure) General] jswclw:
As someone pointed out earlier in this thread, it seems like a move to 720x1280 which is a clean 1/4 of actual resolution would stand a better chance of working without the few undesirable side effects. It would also take a different DPI setting than recommended. Did anyone give it a shot?
[X Style (Pure) General] Cptkirk1996:
Just to correct you, 720p is not a 1/4 of 1440p resolution wise. 1440p is double the resolution of 720p but has quadruple the total pixel count as its 1280*720 = 921600 or 0.9mp. 1440p has a total pixel count of 3686400 or 3.7 mp to 1 dp.

The same goes for show for Full HD (1080p) and Ultra HD 2160p.

Sorry for the correction it's a pet hate of mine when people miss say things about this sort of thing but where you came from is easily understandable, the worst things to say is called 2560*1440p 2k (2k is 1080p) and saying that 3840*2160p is 4k( 4k is actually 4096 x 2160 and 3840*2160p is only UHD.

Back to the threads topic, your point about scaling could be better as you are using a common denominator for the resolution. However as I have been developing PC applications for my own use I have came into problems with scaling the display objects to correctly fit the screen from my personal testing its pure application side for the most part. You are suggesting that its a hardware scaler problem, it has been seen that the 1080p scaling has worked for pretty much everything else perfectly, I believe the screen objects of moto display not scaling correctly at 1080p is software and code wise within the application.
[X Style (Pure) General] Master&Slave™:
Do you know of any applications that will allow you to adjust the resolution of applications separately?

*Other than the xposed module that doesn't seem to work.
[X Style (Pure) General] jswclw:
Resolution is defined as the number of pixels. It is typically expressed as the number of vertical pixels times the number of horizontal pixels. So 1440x2560 is indeed 4 times the resolution of 720x1280. That's why the "Q" in QHD is for quad.

For the record, I spent 30 years in software development and am very familiar with the intricacies of developing interfaces that respond well to different resolutions.
[X Style (Pure) General] rushless:
It seems a better overall solution is to throttle the GPU to 75% rather than go through the hoops to try and come up with a lower res solution that covers overall needs. The main battery drainer on this device is the GPU under load. It drains more than the display does when pushed to max sustained clock. The 418 appears to not be optimized in regards to the actual chip and firmware.

The device is already fast, so not seeing how dropping the res to a lower point is helping much and a diminished return in relation to apps and UI issues. The GPU will yield the biggest battery savings as a result.

Added: The G4 has similar issues.
[X Style (Pure) General] Master&Slave™:
On the AICP build, the contact photos are not warped.
[X Style (Pure) General] max1001:
Don't play games. Issue solved! lol.
[X Style (Pure) General] Master&Slave™:
This actually does work and helps increase UI smoothness. As far as performance, you can keep the GPU at the stock governor as there are no better governors to choose from and just tweak your CPU governor settings as well.

I've also changed my I/O scheduler to ROW as it gives read requests more priority which will give better performance and save some battery. I also set my read-ahead value for my SD card to 2048 for better read and write speeds.

Increasing battery life comes from a multitude of settings changes but to say this UI mod doesn't work is crazy lol.
[X Style (Pure) General] rushless:
It would be nice to know what games are pushing the GPU at 1440p instead of 1080p. Avoiding those might be prudent.
[X Style (Pure) General] dustintinsley:
just a question, did you change the read ahead for internal storage too or just for SD card?
[X Style (Pure) General] Master&Slave™:
Left it stock to avoid latency.
[X Style (Pure) General] dustintinsley:
ok, reverted mine back to 128. had it set to 1024 but will go back stock. are you still using 1080p settings? i just reverted and do not see any issues yet. if your still using it at 1080 have you rant into any problems? also, what are battery saving tweaks are you using?

anyone else having issues with the stock camera app and having difficulty pressing the buttons on screen?

**UPDATE** fixed this issue by changing dpi of camera app to 321.
[X Style (Pure) General] btoledob:
No root required. Just open an ADB shell.
[X Style (Pure) General] slicetwo:
I tried this and SwiftKey was not a fan. Tried to change the dpi of SwiftKey but it didn't work. The stock Google keyboard works fine. Any ideas?
[X Style (Pure) General] faris:
Running AICP @ 1080. Dont really see too much improvement in battery but device runs colder. DPI @ 400 also makes the stock (Advanced) camera app work great.
[X Style (Pure) General] ronii1123:
Not noticing much better battery but my phone definitely runs a lot cooler, which is good with me. I'm sure in terms of GPU intensive task it saves battery too.
[X Style (Pure) General] gulshanstrider:
How you changed the DPI of camera app ?
[X Style (Pure) General] Skyerin:
About to try this now. Don't really care for any battery life improvements (I get home from work with at least 60% to spare so can easily run a day on this thing) but more to try and reduce the heat of the phone. (doing this on a non-rooted phone btw - via adb shell)

I can easily get the phone up to 41 celsius, which is kind of scary when I'm used to a nexus 5 which at max, would only get to about 33-35 celsius.

Update: 1 day in and this has dropped the temperature of the phone by quite a lot. The highest I got the phone to, after being plugged into quick charge for a while as well, was 35 degrees. Seems like, as others have said, the GPU in this is the cause of all the heat, and making this phone 1080p solves that issue.

Only problem I've found at the moment is the app preview pane when you're switching between apps - everything on there looks huge. But otherwise, so far it looks to be good.
[X Style (Pure) General] pradeepvizz:
Will be trying this out very soon, fingers crossed!
[X Style (Pure) General] odin13:
For the gpu/heat issue you're better of installing kernel adiutor or other kernel app and lower the max frequency of the gpu imho

Verstuurd vanaf mijn XT1575 met Tapatalk
[X Style (Pure) General] Skyerin:
Messing with kernels & lowering max speed of the gpu requires an unlocked bootloader. I don't want to do that. This can be done via adb shell, without any issues and solves the heat problem at the same time.
[X Style (Pure) General] Hemotherapy:
Edited: Does lowering the resolution not just make the phones display look a lot less crisp and more fuzzy since it's being lowered to 1080p which is only 2x less and not a full 4x? Normally when downscaling you try to get as close to the 4x multiplier to make it look better, at least that's how it works on computer monitors, I can only imagine the same holds true on phone displays?
[X Style (Pure) General] bossie1975:
I gave this a try, but didn't find it that good for me... (the lock sign on the moto lockscreen was slightly off center).

I now have the weird thing that my moto (XT1572) says: No simcard. any idea? edit: a few reboots fixed the problem...
[X Style (Pure) General] 3thman:
tried it and it missed up a lot of things. I can't use swift key keyboard, The Moto Display is missed up. Any solutions . I want to improve the battery life with any way
[X Style (Pure) General] countryfolk07:
Moto display will stay messed up, but only slightly. I've never had an issue with keyboards. Did you also change the dpi to 410? If so play with that a little. Don't make drastic changes 10 here and there.
[X Style (Pure) General] pradeepvizz:
Is it possible to try this without rooting? Are you sure? I also want to do this for improving the temperature on the device... I am hoping that improvements to battery will show up once we get a cooler device.

Edit : it looks like it is possible, read from comments in the previous page. Thanks

I would like to know from where you arrived at the dpi numbers? I am thinking of we use the dpi on the moto x play it should make all the apps run fine.

[X Style (Pure) General] HikingMoose:
How do you guys deal with the gallery and other apps that force close when you use these settings?

I also can't get the mobile display to work properly. So I had to disable it. I'll mess around with pixel densities to see if I can't find a way to make this work. I like the idea of it, but never been able to get it to work acceptably.
[X Style (Pure) General] HikingMoose:
What if we changed the density in the build prop to match? Would that solve all of the app and moto display issues?

I just tried setting both at 560, no luck, and then set both to 420, no luck. Crap. I really want to run this resolution, buy can't get it work out. I'll try the note 3 resolution of 386.
[X Style (Pure) General] air bear:
I did screens shots after going to 1080 and going back to 1440, now when i first went to 1080 after boot i got alot of looping on the home screen but then after a few seconds it stabilized, and i had to do two geekbench test after going back to 1440 because i thought the numbers where inconsistent.

I just don't know how to post the pics so when anyone could explain that to me I'll post the pics

I love the 2k screen its a beauty so switching to 1080p would be like a downgrade for me .. But hey that's just me and I see the reasoning you folks would want to do this regarding battery life and so forth so I'm not knocking you but I'm definitely content with this great screen and marshmallow has balanced my battery performance almost drastically from lollipop.

Any suggestions pls, wanna try for battery life and heating

Anyone tryied this method to set @ 1080p mode, now.

If tried, any problem with this method now ?

Pls suggest I also wanna try it .
[X Style (Pure) General] ban.codrut:
No problem in overall. If you don't use Moto Display then this mod is all yours, otherwise it will break it. There is some DPI issue with that all, seems that it follows some settings internal to the apk and not the one that we set. The problem is that Moto Display will display moved from the centre but the touch commands work at centre as usual, so it's a rendering problem followed by the DPI not adapting.

[X Style (Pure) General] HikingMoose:
OK, so my battery life is improving, and close to what LP could produce. Now if only there were a 1080p screen resolution that didn't ruin everything, we'd be in business!

That's over 5 hours screen on, with 8% remaining. I think it would have likely reached 5.5hrs if I kept going.
[X Style (Pure) General] unitz0mbie:
I can't get it too work, my phone is rooted but when I type it exactly how it says I don't get any error it just does absolutely nothing
[X Style (Pure) General] HikingMoose:
Like several others, I cannot get terminal emulator to change the resolution since MM. It says aborted. It's odd that that some can and some can't. I was really hoping to try 720 too! Crap

I also tried to find the screen resolution in the build prop, thinking I could change it there, but I couldn't find it, just the pixel density.
[X Style (Pure) General] SpasilliumNexus:
Try the commands without using "su." It worked for me but I reverted since a lot of stuff is still glitchy looking.

[X Style (Pure) General] unitz0mbie:
ok i got it to work, my question is has someone tried any other dpi besides 420?
[X Style (Pure) General] countryfolk07:
I've tried others. They just seem to mess up to much stuff. Graphical stuff isn't right. Camera, Moto display, etc. Among others.
[X Style (Pure) General] unitz0mbie:
so i should just use 420 like it says?
[X Style (Pure) General] countryfolk07:
I would say it's lesser of all evils. Maybe 410 to. I don't use this MOD. I just lower dpi to 480 on stock resolution. I still can achieve 5 hours SOT in a day with the custom stock kernel.
[X Style (Pure) General] HikingMoose:
So I was able to get 720 to work last night. Looks absolutely fine to my eyes. To get it to work I had to enter 720x1280, because if you do 1280x720 the screen was tiny and was perpendicular. It took me like 45 minutes or longer to find a DPI that would work. I ended up with 240 I think, I can double check tonight. It's the only DPI that would allow the camera to function with working buttons.

Now that bad news. With very little use, it's already dropped to 92%. But it is smoother, and has less lag and finally PANDORA WORKS!!! So I might stick it out for a bit just because I'm sick of not being able to stream audio on stock MM.
[X Style (Pure) General] osiris970:
Help

I love the idea of this.I can live without moto display ,but i need to user Viber on a daily basis.When i change the dpi and resolution the pics are zoomed out.Is there a fix for this? Possibly without root.
[X Style (Pure) General] unitz0mbie:
i dont know, in the playstore and in the switching app screens are a little zoomed also. but doesnt bother me as much, the fluidity and battery life are the most important things to me.
[X Style (Pure) General] guile50:
Can we change moto APP resolution? Or the Active screen's?
[X Style (Pure) General] guile50:
For those who are concerned: it does increase the battery life, but just a lil bit. It mainly decreases the GPU usage and thus, the battery temperature (yesterday it was sitting at around 26~29° celsius) and the standby time is highly increased, the % drop per hour is minimum. I made almost 24 hours, had to charge a bit earlier because i played some games. SOT was the same, about 3 hours.

I reverted to the standard resoution and i'm currenly on 61% and 31° celsius (refrigerated room, in the street it was at 36°C), removed from charge at 11:00 PM ( it's 9:30AM currently in brazil). i might have to charge it in the afternoon if i use it too much.

[X Style (Pure) General] benjmiester:
Ah, been doing this a while with a few past phones and now my S6 and thinking about trading for a Moto Pure so I'm reading through the forums. It never seemed to yield any noticeable results for me, but there may be some small ones. It does help performance a bit though. I did want to add two things though. For those in search of a nice in between from 720p and 1080p... try 1600 x 900 :D It's right in between and looks great. I'm not sure why it got skipped over in the resolution world. Probably some scaling issue or something for tvs and computers. Also, there's a free app called resolution changer pro that will do this very easily if you don't want to do terminal commands.
[X Style (Pure) General] Deonta23:
any one try 720 or the above 900 can confirm working? also any fix for moto display? modified apk? build.prop changes?
[X Style (Pure) General] defvayne:
For some reason i cant go back to stock size and density anymore. Terminal does nothing when i type the commands.
[X Style (Pure) General] Deonta23:
1600 x 900 working in apps and moto display? By the way what is your dpi and can you post screen shots?
[X Style (Pure) General] benjmiester:
Oh I don't about all that, but if you're on a rom the apps seem to scale fine. Especially with Banks' dynamic gapps. I believe the 1600 x 900 dpi was right at 400. It shrunk the camera viewfinder on my S6, but so did every other resolution. I actually have an X Pure right now but haven't tried any of that. I never proved to give me any substantial gains in battery life. Or at least too small to notice if it did. But I also don't game on my phones much and not at all lately. I think during gaming is where this is going to make the biggest difference. In the UI and most non-graphical apps, the GPU is going to be just sitting at idle anyway so reducing the strain on it won't make a difference. But during gaming, that's a different story not to mention the extra FPS. Also good for benchmarking higher (cough iphone cough)
[X Style (Pure) General] Deonta23:
I really do like the QHD but 1080p would be fine for me. When you factor in a much smoother ui and cooler running phone I think it would be worth it. If you play a lot of videos or games it would definitely save some juice and run better. Btw I do think lower screen resolutions are one of the biggest reasons for iPhone smooth ui. Probably another reason why they can multitask so well

[X Style (Pure) General] jal3223:
I wonder if one were to use app settings via xposed to manually change all applications besides the Moto apps if it would work then?
[X Style (Pure) General] joeldroid:
Tried it with app settings 1.13 (beta build which supports MM, the current stable one v 1.10 does not work with MM) did not work. It was still off centered. Why can't Moto develop apps like everyone else? why should they hard code the DPI or Res? beats me.

This is what I did

Set the DPI to 560 just for moto display (as discussed in Moto X 2014 forums)

but It did not work.

EDIT

I misread your post, that would defeat the purpose. We lower resolution and density. All apps work fine except moto.

So there must be something fishy about the moto ones.

Any anyone tried different combinations?
[X Style (Pure) General] jal3223:
What I was saying is to not use the commands in the OP at all. Instead, just try to pick and choose all of the apps that you would like 1080p in app settings and do not touch the Moto apps at all. Or did you try that?
[X Style (Pure) General] joeldroid:
Well that would defeat the purpose. The native resolution must be lowered. And dpi adjustment done accordingly. Any apps that misbehave must be fixed later.

To answer your question, no I didn't try that way.
[X Style (Pure) General] jal3223:
No worries. I really don't think that you understand what I'm saying though. You can change the DPI and resolution through App settings for all applications besides the ones that are misbehaving. It would not defeat the purpose because for those selected apps (when being displayed) will be using the adjusted 1080p and DPI changes thus using less GPU. The Moto apps would then be unmodified so would hopefully display accurately.

I have decided to keep the pure and will unlock tonight and test a few different options to try and get Moto's apps to be compliment.
[X Style (Pure) General] joeldroid:
Thanks for clearing that up... let me know on your findings. Good luck :)
[X Style (Pure) General] jal3223:
Sorry it has taken me so long to report what I have found. I graduate college in May so things are getting intense. Lol.

From what I can tell everything works perfectly when you pick and choose what apps should run in 1080p (450-470 DPI in my case). Moto display is perfectly centered as is all of the other Moto apps as long as you don't mess with their resolution. I started out by just changing the resolution and DPI (using App Settings xposed module) of all of the graphic intensive apps that I use and things were noticeably smoother. The apps load up just as they would if they were unmodified as well. I'm pretty pleased with the setup as I can decide app by app what I want displayed in 1080p for performance and heat reduction. Chrome scrolling is waay smoother now. Plus the DPI looks better to my eyes for it.

Let me know if it works out for everybody.
[X Style (Pure) General] Infekxion:
@ jal3223, congrats on your upcoming graduation.
