More than perfection!!! Many many thanks to the devloper. Now I dont need to connect my phone with pc everytime for changing the resolution. But I can't understand why this app is so lowly rated. Those who don't know what ADB is...Pls learn it first(Its worth learning). I can play games smoothly now in my low-end phone yeap😃.

Does exactly what it says, works surprisingly well. Now I can change between 1080p and 4K without a PC. Would be great if there is an option to save resolution and density in the app but great effect nonetheless. Take note: if you don't know what ADB is, don't install this app.

Perfect. It does absolutely what it says it does. All you need to do is follow the instructions and set it up. This app is especially useful when your phone has a weird screen size or if it does not have a perfect rectangular display and you wish to change that. That was an issue I used to have with my Samsung Galaxy a10e.

Does exactly what it promises - and with the adb step, no root is required! Small apk size and small footprint too! For those who complain that the DPI change does not take effect, make sure to quit the app and kill it after granting the extra permission (via adb), so it starts fresh. Following that, the change *will* take effect. Kudos to the dev for a short and to the point app. (PS: tested on an Android 10 tablet)

Doesnt work on my xiaomi 9t. Keeps going back to my default resolution after pressing confirm. I want to change my 19.5:9 ratio to 16:9 but this app doesnt seem to help. All the setup for nothing. Edit: nvm works. Didnt know i had to unplug the usb cable so it leaves the debugging mode.

Doesn't work on my LG v20, when I change the resolution and hit apply it goes back to default and doesn't change anything..

About this app

Resolution Changer works by using a hidden Android API called IWindowManager. Originally, Google restricted access to this API starting with Android Pie, however, they allowed developers to disable the API blacklist by tweaking a Secure Setting.

Resolution Changer first unlocks the blacklisted APIs, and then applies the requested resolution and display density.

If you do not specify a height or width, Resolution Changer will simply use the resolution that is currently set by the device.

If you do not specify a density, Resolution Changer will try to calculate a suitable density based on the diagonal screen size of the device.

WARNING:
If you specify a broken resolution and are unable to fix it, follow these steps:
1. Connect device to PC
2. Open CMD or Terminal (depending on OS)
3. Type these commands:
adb shell wm size reset
adb shell wm density reset

New features

- Update libs and kotlin version
- Warn if failed to apply with solution steps
- Update resolution fetching API
- Update target version

Thanks to a tester named Pest for contacting me about a report for resolutions not applying!
