Always 4k resolution mod? - Sony Xperia 1 Themes, Apps, and Mods

Hi, just wondering if anyone has been successful making the phone run in 4k all the time?
I tried the old adb method that works on older 4k xperias but on the Xperia 1, after setting it to 1644*3840 i lose control over the home back and many other functional buttons. I played around with several densities as well to no avail. Even installed the old xperia home launcher fr xz2p also can't get it to work.
If anyone has done this successful kindly share. Thank you.

Changing the resolution by using wm size will only "emulate" 4k. In order to have the phone in 4k mode, you'd need a kernel that supports it. I remember back in the XZP, there was an AOSP release that allows you to choose the resolution and refresh rate. Unsure if Sony devs are working on AOSP for the Xperia 1 as well.

With Xperia1 it's a bit different, you can change the wm size and density but it won't work. It doesn't behave the same way it did on the xzp for some reason.

Changing the resolution using wm size has never worked in the first place. Just "emulating" a resolution.

Only when 4k is required which isn't very often, pointless being 4k all the time as it will just waste battery

On the XZP it did visibly work, background images (if you used image2wallpaper app for example) for CLEARLY sharper in it's "always 4k" mode than the regular ones.

Any way to force 4K at all times yet?

No point as you won't be able to tell the difference. Only 4k when required

the 4k is always active, not to be confused with the adb command which only makes the applications in 4k, but the screen is always in 4k when the application is less than 4k there is an upscale

any luck to get this working i want this on my new sony someone make it happen please thanks James

Hey there,
Just a quick preview of an always 4k running Xperia 1 under the upcoming Pixel Experience update.

The way to get that is simply to compile AOSP for griffin (Xperia 1, j8110 or j9110) and you get 4k always on.
Or if you can't, wait for me to release my Pixel Experience may build with that feature baked in.
I'll have to make many xda threads for each supported device (which is from the xzp to Xperia 5, so that's a lot)

Hello mate, is it safe to say this is abandoned now or will you still release your ROM? I've been looking forward to it for a while now for the Xperia 1

always 4K mods using ADB commands works on android 11!
1644x3840 with density of 560 is my favorite

Please link to a step-by-step guide.
Also, isn't it already running at 1644x3840? I just took a screenshot of the home screen and it was 1644x3840.
Thanks

SloMo

I have the nexus 6 5 months now and there is still nothing from google or any dev about slow motion video capture. Its a pitty that our device is capable of it but we cant use it, i was reading in a post a commend of a dev that said it takes time for a dev to make an camera app with slomo for our device and if aome one would try to make one he didnt want to give it for free. Well im really willing to donate for something like that, no offense to the forum or devs but i really want an app that captures 120 or 240 fps slomo. Im sure there are more out there like me who would donate for something like this. Or maybe is there any rom with an other camera that has that capability?
Lcamera supports it for the N5 but since the dev doesn't have a N6 he can't do anything. In theory it should work but he can't test it. I too miss it from my DROID days.
There are other apps too but the one I have only does 30fps

Gallus.
Currently 30fps is the max N6 can do. Lcamera crops the sensor into 4th so in theory we could do 120fps @ 1080p

however there is no app that is giving us this future. I am checking some camera comparisons on yourube and I see that our nexus 6 has a super camera (spec wise) but the app is keeping it behind. I really would be happy to port a camera on it which could give me some of those futures....
I'm currently setting up my build env to see if I can get Lcamera's mod working on the N6.

I wish you good luck, please let us know if you need someone to test out lib or apks
Its really disappointing for me that the google camera doesnt have slomo or cant capture 1080p 60fps... its one of the best phones out there...

[MOD] [Z2] [KK/LP] Qualcomm Assertive Display 1.0

I know this is a bit old news, but still a lot of users and even power users don't know this exists. I guess it's better to create a new thread instead of explaining every time in PMs what this is about
Qualcomm Assertive Display 1.0 port from Z3 23.4.A.1.232
Qualcomm said:
Assertive Display is a new technology which makes the display adaptive to its viewing environment. By employing sophisticated video processing algorithms based on research into human vision, the mobile display is continuously adjusted to deliver a consistent, high-quality experience in all conditions, including those in which content would be otherwise unwatchable.
The result is that the multimedia experience is maintained everywhere, even in bright sunshine. Assertive Display-enabled devices typically consume at least 30% less display power, leading to significant battery life extensions. Viewing comfort is maximized by ensuring that the display is neither too dark nor too bright for the eyes.
Assertive Display has been featured in devices from smartphones by manufacturers such as Sharp and Huawei to HDTVs by Bang & Olufsen.
Qualcomm Technologies supports Apical’s latest, third-generation Assertive Display technology, which operates with minimal software load and very low power consumption for even the highest display resolutions.

TL;DR
It lowers display power consumption and improves view-ability in direct sunlight.
The Z5 supports a newer version (1.3 vs 1.0) of the calibration system, but I don't know, if the Z2 is capable. Since this is SOC dependent stuff, I'd rather stay as close to the Z3 as possible.
Install procedure:
1. This mod touches /system/build.prop, so make a backup just in case.
2. Flash the attached file in recovery.

Yes, it's a flashable file. Should have mentioned that in the OP
Since users reported this works on the Nexus 6, I'm quite sure it will work on custom roms too. I did test it only with stock/stock based ROMs.
okay i will test it now on resurction remix rom now and will report if it works. how can i see if it work ? any solutions after flash

You should get significantly more SOT. Also the screen appears brighter. I do notice the effect (just like Xreality, Vivid), but the best test would be to compare two Z2 side by side.
Because my z2 is on 23.4.A.1.232. So, I have a question. Is stock Z2 23.4.A.1.232 included this mod?

Dear, we r not talking about timeshift burst, but timeshift video.
there is a way to make camera record at 60 fps, which is bare minimum for slow-mo, you can find the rom in here http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/development/rom-official-sony-lollipop-5-1-1-t3196237
But idk if you can make it to record more then that

Thanks mate this rom looks awesome but it would be far more better if i could record at 120fps. If this fone can record 1080p at 60fps, then it can b able to record 720p or 480p at 120fps.

Oh yes sir, I am constantly searching for this, but if u get somthing interesting, please do post it here.
Slomotion on Xperia Z is really "edgy" topic.
Because hardware it self(camera chip and CPU) IS capable to record 120fps at 480p
Some local xda developers say that its impossible, but Oppo Find 5 have THE SAME camera and CPU and... it record 120fps.
Problem lay on camera software, and to be more precise on "drivers" that our Xperia Z have, and that are messed up by Sony.
With some good skills and knowledge it would be possible to copy code from Oppo Find 5 and enable this mode on Xperia Z, but as I said its hard topic, because no one here want mess with that.
Also as you would probably know, Xperia Z is really old device, and for past year or two most of developers on this forum where focused more on creating LP ROMs and modifying existing one rather than making something new.
Its probably offend some devs, but creating your own ROM based on stock is really easy,and 90% of what we have on xda are just stock roms filled with custom additions gathered from forum. There is nothing new here, only few people still trying to mess with device it self to make it "better/cooler".
So yeah, you can forget about 120fps on Xperia Z, its just better to buy new phone (even Z1compact have the same price as XZ in most of places, and even if its smaller device its WAY better than XZ)

Google Camera Port for Xperia X Performance

Since Google Pixel 3 launched, the modder tried to port the camera app to the another Android devices, I'm so excited about it. But unfortunately until now the app not coming even to single Sony devices. So, anyone's here please make it available for Sony Xperia X Performance.

I wonder though: which version of that port is suitable for X Performance?
Presumably need to find the device that has the same SoC and camera
With kind regards.
UPD #1: GCam_5.3.015-Pixel3Mod-Arnova8G2-v4Beta1 - this version is working for X Performance, testing further on Oreo 8.1 AOSP with kernel v4.9
UPD #2: also installed HEVC+SloMo GCam (Magisk) from the OnePlus 3/3T section via Magisk, the app does not crash or anything, safe to use I guess....
UPD #3: HDR+ is not working, maybe need some tweaking in the Advanced section of Settings
UPD #4: At the very first switcing to 60 fps mode the app reports a crash; after a re-launch the mode persists as set, video records fine, no idea if it is actually 60fps
Anyways, test out, guys!
P.S. HDR+ engine seems funky for the device: the camera snaps the original picture just fine, but the processing messes the picture up in the end. Maybe should talk to the developer of the port.

Hello, @Ontrinity,
you can look up to post #3 and see that I have already replied to your question (much earlier than you even asked it). Please use the instructions.
In the meantime, consult a doctor on the matter of your eyesight - I think it's alarmingly poor and you might need to use some glasses or lenses.

1080P screenshots problems.

Hi there, I've changed my Nexus' resolution to 1080p using terminal with wm resolution 1080x1920 and wm density 420 commands.
I have a few problems. The biggest one - screenshots (see attachment). Also loading screen looks the same as screenshots.
All apps are working great, there is no problem with 1080p.
I'm using Nexus 6 with Android 9.0 (LinageOS) with magisk root.

I know the reason why people want that.
But LineageOS doesn't allow anything but native resolution. That's why I am not wasting any time to change the resolution.
No bad feelings, I just wanted to tell you that it's not working like you tried it, and probably nobody is going to fix it.
