About Resolution Changer

Requires ROOT and at least Android 4.2 (or 4.3 to support overscan)

This tool gives you the ability to change your screen resolution, density (DPI) and overscan.
Why do I need to change my resolution?


# HDMI / TV-OUT / MIRACAST:
You want to adjust your screen resolution to fit your TV or External Monitor which is connected to your HDMI output to get rid off the black bars? With Resolution Changer, you can set your resolution to fit perfectly to the external monitor.
Additionally, with the HDMI Auto Resolution feature enabled, your device will detect your external HDMI Monitor and sets the screen resolution and density automatically to a chosen preset.
With overscan set, you can adjust your screen output padding to match excatly the External Monitor.


# DEVELOPMENT
You are developing apps and you want to test your app on different devices? Just use a device preset or create your own one to simulate the screen resolution and density of every possible device.


# GAMES
Your device is too slow for the latest games? Just change the resolution to a lower one and enjoy your games with a higher framerate.


Hints:
If the device has problems with a choosen resolution, the default one will be restored after some seconds. Some apps like the launcher or the keyboard might not always scale correctly with every resolution.
The application is still restricted to the technical conditions of the device. That means, you wont be able to choose a resolution your device is not capable of displaying.

Works terribly on my 2013 Nexus 7. Also wrecked the layout of my home screen. Try resolution changer pro instead. It's buggy, but works, and it's free. Don't buy this garbage.

Samsung Galaxy S III; Works as expected; One could use shell's wm command, the app provides a nice GUI && presets of various devices; Be sure to have a backup of your device's settings before messing w/ this app, though;

Does just what it says. Helped me fix some overscan issues I was having with my TV using a Galaxy S4. 100% recommended.

Just after changing the resolution, the device rebooted automatically and it freezed at the logo screen !! I had to do a factory reset to solve the problem. Very disappointed !! =(

The apparently does exactly as described. Frame rate on my Asus TF700t with Cyanogen 11 suffered in games from the native 1920x1200 resolution. This app allows me to drop the resolution to enjoy smooth gaming and crank it up for everyday use.

Purchased app to change resolution so I can display onto my 32 inch 720p TV and doesn't work. And no reply from developer

I spent the last couple days trying to fix an insufficient space error, only to realize this was the only app I couldn't install. 5gb free. Now it's too late to get a refund.

Exactly what I was looking for. It changes the resolution while still keeping everything natural looking. In particular, Google Maps is noticeably faster at lower resolution. One problem: the capacitive home keys no longer work, so I have to have another app running to create soft keys (eats into screen real estate)

I dropped my note 10.1, and about 3/4 of an inch of the left hand side of the screen is messed up and won't display anything. I was able to use the overscan feature of this app to move the screen over so that nothing would display on the messed up part. Not a perfect solution, but cheaper than buying a new tablet right now.

Hi resolution change is ok but i cant access my physical home and back button (htc one) only way to access is revert back to original resolution. Please help

I am using Nexus 10 and this app fixed my problems when using my HDTV... One request - can you add N10 as preset? I saved my own but it would be good to have it predefined... Thanks! To add: I love the "auto switch" feature, restores the original resolution when HDMI is unplugged. No restart... hope the screen lock can be removed....

This app is perfect, I struggled with other similar apps but once I stumbled across this gem it was smooth sailing!

Works well on my Samsung galaxy S3 with cyanogen mod 11, but it seems to be missing a very important feature. I can't figure out how to edit/delete user defined preset resolutions. Once you add a resolution to the list you're stuck with it unless you clear app data in which case you end up clearing all the resolutions you've added instead of just the one you wanted to remove. I thought maybe if I added a new one with the same name it would effectively "edit" it, but it adds a duplicate instead.

Application works great on the Mad Catz Mojo (Android TV Game Console) except it will not show the overscan options (which is why I bought the app). Options show fine on my Nexus 5 but not on the Mad Catz Mojo. I can change the resolution and DPI just fine!

Some settings don't work on my tablet . they cut the home and menu buttons out of the screen which is bad obviously. Please help trying to find the best setting for a few games

I have an AppRadio2 in the car and was looking for something that could automatically change screen PPI setting of my Nexus 5 to a lower setting to make better use of the larger screen when connected over HDMI. This application does exactly that - plug the phone, resolution and PPI changes to a preset you defined. Wonderful! However, transition back/forth isn't always smooth. Very often phone reboots upon HDMI disconnect. And when this happens, settings often remain half finished you have to go fix things manually, reboot.. Thankfully you can quickly restore things using the app. Maybe if the disconnect event is delayed a bit Resolution Changer would be more successful in restoring settings? Hopefully this app will get better. Looking forward for updates!

I purchased this app and tried to change my screen resolution, but caused my tablet to shut down and go into a soft brick state, the only way I could recover my tablet was to factory reset my whole device! I lost all my stuff! I factory reset the device and re installed it (giving the app the benefit of the doubt) and tried to change the resolution, and it did the exact same thing and I had to reset the device again! I WANT MY MONEY BACK!
