App summary

A one-time WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS grant thru ADB is required. This is NOT root. Instructions are in the app. However, if your device is already rooted, you can immediately grant it without the need of a computer (v1.10+).

✅ Easily TEST and/or APPLY your own custom display resolution and density (DPI) settings
✅ Can smartly compute the other side (height or width) of the display resolution based on the displays aspect ratio when you input on any one side (when the option is enabled)
✅ Can smartly compute the matching density (DPI) of the desired custom display resolution using some trigonometric computations (when the option is enabled)
✅ Smartly suggests the name of custom display resolution for adding to the presets
✅ Automatically reads the device's pre-defined screen resolution setting(s) so you can easily switch to it(them) when desired
✅ Option to reset display resolution and density values to default factory values
✅ Save multiple custom display resolution and density settings to the preconfigured list for easier use anytime (premium). Free user is limited to saving one custom resolution only.

User reviews

App worked okay. Using on my Anbernic RG405 to increase resolution for Android games. Native 640x480 to 960x720 Once a custom resolution was set, the right half of the screen no longer worked for touch input. 5 stars if fixed

To all of Pixels user DON'T RESTART OR POWER OFF YOUR PHONE IF YOU SET RESOLUTION TO LOWER THAN YOUR INITIAL RESOLUTION. I CAN'T TYPE MY PASS AND THOUGHT THAT I WILL LOSE MY ONLY PHONE. BUT LUCKILY I CAN CONNECT TO MY BLUETOOTH KEYBOARD. And i typed the pass and immediately reset the resolution and uninstall this app Massive thanks to my bluetooth keyboard ❤️❤️ you are the goat

Super easy to follow set-up, and after that it works like a charm! Some older discontinued games are unplayable or have wonky UI's because they're not optimised for modern phone aspect ratios, and this is an absolutely perfect fix, no problems with it as yet.
