[Galaxy S6 General] TheWarKeeper:
Hello all, one of the main reasons why i chose the xperia z1 compact over a galaxy s5 by then was that i knew that z1 compact had much more power to spare for future gaming thanks to the low screen resolution, It was very hard for me to choose this time galaxy s6 over z5 compact for the same reason, but i succumbed to the bigger better oled screen this time around even though i was upset at the senseless screen resolution of 1440 x 2560 which made it clear that the phone would struggle with current high end games to keep 60fps let alone future games...

Well after playing Dead Trigger 2 with all gfx on max surprise surprise, the phone could not keep up with its absurd screen resolution a steady 60fps so i started thinking if there was a proper screen res changer tool this time around as i was a bit familiar with some of them in the past which done a poor job and many times left the phone unusuable thx to the resolution affecting the OS itself aswell.

Well guess what, Samsung woke up and presented galaxy s6 owners (and some other high end galaxy models) with a very nice solution.

Its called Game Tuner, officially made by Samsung and you can find it here:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.samsung.android.gametuner.thin&hl=pt_PT

What it does is exactly what all the games should have in the first place, options to choose resolution for your game without changing the resolution for your OS GUI, on top of that, you have a nice control panel profile system which allows you to setup different settings for different games installed in your phone, this apps benefits you with the following:

1)Lower graphics resolution for any games of your choosing,

2) It allows you to even force 3D games which are running at a lower resolution than your screen to actually run at highest resolution supported by your screen,

3)It also allows you to lock FPS to 30 instead of 60 if you would like to preserve some battery life.

4)Allows you some brightness control per game.

Here are the more confusing settings explained:

High (turns all games to the highest resolution of the phone screen) almost impossible to observe pixelization

Medium (turns all games to a tad lower res (i believe 1920*1080) difficult to observe pixelization

Low (turns all games to an even lower res( i believe 1270*720) pixelization visible but not too ugly

Extreme Low (turns all games to the lowest resolution possible (i believe 840*472) as i see alot of pixelization

Custom (Allows you to select each game with a specific profile (high, medium, low, extreme low).

Now you can fully enjoy that 2k screen without reprecussions!

Give it a try and have fun! :)

EDIT: If any questions feel free to ask and ill try to help as i can.
[Galaxy S6 General] thzone:
Wow, thanks for sharing. Works great. You can even specify the resolution, fps and brightness per game.

NP, glad you like it, updated thread with more information and corrected some grammar issues.
[Galaxy S6 General] crzykiller:
You can already find this in the S6 themes and apps section. No need to post this here
[Galaxy S6 General] lite426:
Thanks, this is really cool. I wouldn't have seen it if you hadn't posted it here! I wish it would actually tell you what resolution each of the settings are. I tried taking a screenshot in game after I enabled it and then checking the "details" in gallery but it still said 2560*1440.

Now I'd like to know how I can completely disable it? It seems even after uninstall the settings remain. I'd like to now bypass the 60FPS limit.
[Galaxy S6 General] TheWarKeeper:
The settings wont remain after uninstalling, i say this because i tried it myself by setting a game to lowest resolution possible and after uninstalling it rolled back to normal, many people believe that, without modding, all games will run by default on the highest resolution supported by your screen, this is a false assumption, and you can easelly notice that with games such as Asphalt 8 and Real Racing 3.

Indeed it should specify resolution instead of "very low, low, med, high," thats why the thread settings are nothing more but assumptions.

Also setting it to MED is considered the default setting for said game in this app so maybe med is actually the default app resolution.
[Galaxy S6 General] DSF:
Well, i think it doesn't stress anybody, but the opposite: more users will know about it. It seems this app is not that popular, many users have no idea about it (i found it a couple of weeks ago by mistake in playstore).

The app should receive more coverage in media too. This will be a win-win situation for all, and maybe samsung will add a system-wide option for resolution change (yeah, keep dreaming)
[Galaxy S6 General] TheWarKeeper:
I believe beying able to choose fullscreen resolution of your phone shouldve been a thing implemented by default, im Really happy that samsung thinked of this for my S6 as i can play games like dead effect 2 with extreme graphics but reduced resolution (almost imperceptible pixelization) and get a rock steady 60fps, the only strange thing it semms that it is happening is that after a level or two the game starts to loose performance, other users also reported this issue, samsung will hopefully fix it in the next app update.
[Galaxy S6 General] vnvman:
I think you should also disable DVFS for optimal performance gains.
[Galaxy S6 General] TheWarKeeper:
Yes that would increase performance but its a heavy risk considering you might burn up ur cpu or gpu and void the warranty
[Galaxy S6 General] vnvman:
I may be wrong but I assume unless you game all day long it shouldn't make too much of a difference in terms of lifespan (assuming one swaps phone every 2 years or so), pretty much like OC/OV.
[Galaxy S6 General] TheWarKeeper:
Indeed OC reduces lifespan of said component but the problem is more serious than that, if you disable the throttle the GPU or CPU might overheat, it depends on the phone and the chips inside and also the heat dissipation quality which can range from different thermal pastes to different heatsinks and to where is that heat transfered after that, its a risk of hardware damage without knowing its internal chips temps.

But thats just me who knows maybe im wrong.
[Galaxy S6 General] vnvman:
Well that would totally make sense, but at least as to OC+slight OV it has been tested that the possibility of making some actual damage will most likely be very slim untill around the 5 year mark or so of usage. As to DVFS, by disabling that you don't actually disable throttling completely, which is still managed by the kernel (as it should), but only Samsung's more aggressive throttling which is completely unnecessary because it's always trying to keep the phone "super cool" at the expense of performance, while some people who are into heavy games would use a device hot to the point that it causes mild discomfort (but still safe for the components), rather than a device that is slightly cooler but gets laggy after 2 minutes of actual gameplay.

I guess it's up to the user to decide whether to mess with this or not, maybe for most people it won't be worth even the slight risks but for people like me who happen to enjoy heavy games and swap phones every year and a half or so it's good to have the option.
[Galaxy S6 General] TheWarKeeper:
I tought the DVFS disabled the throttle completely, its good to know it doesnt then and i agree, the samsung throttle is overreacting and prolly did better good with it off than on, thanks for your suggestion.
[Galaxy S6 General] crzykiller:
I play with Samsung DVFS always off and I can play dead effect for 2 hours straight without performance degradation... CPU doesn't go over 75-80*C depending on the ambient temperature
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sherifbmw:
Since I updated to firmware version G920FXXU3COI9 I am having problems in applications and processes running in background, mainly truecaller, I don't get it working when i receive a call unless I open the app manually, once opened it will work with every incoming call normally for couple of hours then its process is killed and never works again till i initiate it manually.

I tried the battery optimization feature with all possible ways: Auto optimizing - no optimizing - always optimizing - even I closed the feature for all apps and nothing helped.

Even I restored factory settings and the problem still there

Any ideas for a solution rather than rooting?

This isn't normal is it?
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ronald_loulan:

thanks for getting me thinking. :D
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kzrussian:
Your reading of 0.13 Amps on the "kill-a-watt" meter is normal. That reading is based on 115 Volts. The Power (P) that your device is using to charge itself is P = Volts x Amps = 0.13 x 115 = 14.95 Watts.

Power is constant, but your device uses 5 Volts for charging.

So on the 5 Volt side, it is drawing 14.95 Watts / 5 Volts = 2.99 Amps

However when I boot into safemode the performance of the tablet is OK and so is the battery. So does anybody have any sugestions how could I fix it or what rom should I use? Also I have no apps installed apart from gapps.

Thanks

also you should use Greenify app.

I was wondering what will be lost if I unlock the bootloader? I know in the past you lose the DRM keys so you can't use some of the sony proprietary enhancements. Is that the same with the Z5 line as well?

People have mentioned a drop in camera quality in the past after unlocking the bootloader, it'd be nice to see some before and after sample shots to get an idea how bad the quality drop is.

[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] digitalmonkey:
I unlocked my bootloader and there does tend to be a loss in sharpness from the camera but in general nothing really significant. Might purchase a 3rd party camera app in the future and see if it improves things.

I have also noticed that the camera app ( front lens ) seems to be pretty buggy, there's been times when the output has looked similar to the one in the comparison picture, all blocky and pink. Then I'd launch it sometime later and it would be fine again.

Sorry to say but that might be just arrogant like anything. Each developer was a "noob" once upon also,if you want to post a tutorial you don't expect everyone to know it already (what's the use of tutorial then?). Maybe you should try making people better at doing Android Development instead of calling them "noob".

Hi,

I'm using a Moto G 4G XT1039, right now with "cm-13.0-20151218-NIGHTLY-peregrine", at least YouTube-videos are working.

But I have other problems:

I installed BusyBox to get a "crond" working and it is doing as expected.

But I have not found any way, to get the "crond" starting via "init.d", it seems that it is just not working with cm13.

I was trying quite much to get it working, I modified the ramdisk and build sevral new ROMs, with no success.

There was just one way to get "init.d" working, I build a new ROM with SuperR's Kitchen and dis-/enabled the root-access in the options, to get SuperSU installed instead of the integrated cm-root.

Unfortunately it seems that the latest SuperSU 2.62-3 still has problems, after doing a "su -" there are several commands that are not working anymore, like "pm list users" or "logcat".

So anybody any idea how to solve this problem?

Thanks a lot,

kind regards,

In the changelog for the nightly from 20160103 I can find changes for the camera (android_packages_apps_Camera2) to allow storing pictures on external media.

Unfortunately, after starting the phone with the new version, there is no change in the camera app at all.

There are no settings available to control the storage location.

Did I missed something ??

Yes, I checked the correct app as the motorola camera is not included in CM13 ;)

(of course, I installed the motorola camera from another forum here as well because I like it. Unfortunately, there is also no option for the storage selection).

According to the app information, the currently installed camera version is 2.0.002 (46d5f50491-30).

When I start the camera and hit the ... button I only get six options for various settings. But there is no setting for the storage location.
