Before buying the Rog phone 2, I would like to know if modding fortnite to run at 120fps is possible on this phone. I know some people have been able to access and change the cfg file by using magisk and a root explorer to make the game run at 60fps on unsupported devices, but I have never seen anyone try 120fps on android at all.
All I know is that the cfg file is located at(root):
/data/data/com.epicgames.fortnite/files/UE4Game/FortniteGame/FortniteGame/Saved/Config/Android/GameUserSettings.ini
And that you have to change these strings:
MobileFPSMode=Mode_120Fps
bUseVSync=false
UnlockConsoleFPS=True
FrameRateLimit=120.000000
I currently don't have a 120hz phone atm nor do I have a rooted device to try it out myself. If any of you decide to try this out, please leave a comment below so that I can see if it works at all.
Fortnite 120fps support comes from Epic Games, not Asus. There's no way of "modding" the game. The support will have to come from Epic Games.
Also remember that at the moment Fortnite doesn't even support 60fps on this phone, and on the Android phones it does support it, the other elements of graphics suffer A LOT from the FPS boost. Given how Android graphics are pretty terrible to begin with, at 120fps, should you manage to unlock it, the game will look like trash.
If solely playing Fortnite at a decent framerate is your goal, in that budget, I'd recommend getting an iPad Mini 5. Runs 60fps smoothly, doesn't look that bad, and is a great way to play the game. Works great for me. If you absolutely must have 120fps, you'll need to shell out more cash for a PC or for an iPad Pro.
Currently fortnite does support 60 fps on the rog phone 2, but it sets your graphics to high to run at 60 fps. Switching back to any higher sets it back to 30 fps, but you can always move around from high to low for better fps stability.
Here is a screenshot.
I had Fortnite running at 120fps on my s20 ultra using parallel space and editing the same things you are talking about in the space. It doesn't say 120fps, it says option, but here's a screen shot just to show you it is possible.
I would assume you could do the same thing through a regular root.

I havent had an urge to root, but i took a video recently and while the picture was decent, it really didnt do motion well, it was blurry enough i dont think id use it. I know that there is 720p available if i root, but what is the story on fps? what is it stock and what is it rooted? rooted i could get 480/30fps or 720/20fps correct? and is stock 30fps? anything less seems like nexus owners would have been ripped off. is this true and if so is there a chance the 720 fps could go up in the future? basically i want to root but the only change i want is better video quality--is it possible?
Your numbers are correct. The original settings are 24fps, I don't see that as a ripoff.
Stock is only 20 fps I believe. So yes you would see a nice improvement in smooth video. All my Nokia phones did 30 fps and looks much smoother than 20 fps in my opinion.
I was wondering if we could get 640x360 at 120fps video recording without audio on the phone as 1280x720 at 30fps is already there.
So if the phone can process 720p at 30fps then it should also do 640x360 at 120fps or even 320x180 at 240fps(for ultra-slow motion).
If this is possible then we can reduce the video playback framerate to 30fps(on computer or on the phone itself if it is possible) and the video would be in slow motion.
I read that by editing the media_profiles.xml we can tinker with video recording settings, i think it is available on froyo only.
So can the leaked builds for SGS can they be used?
I would be getting the SGS on my birthday so can't try it myself.
Till then i am gathering information on mods that can be done to enhance the android experience.
Thanks in advance.

I would love this. My girlfriend can do it with her Samsung Wave, too. I'm so jealous
I found the topic in another sub-forum before, but there doesn't seem to be much interest in this.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=726111
Bump
Would love this feature too
Im not sure if you can just decrease the pixel and so increase your frames per sec
I think this depends on the camera....
Because if you think backwards... you have 640p at 30fps, and you would turn it in 15fps, the resolution increases ? No, i think the Wave camera simply has this feature to film 120fps....
But please tell me im wrong, because i would also love it !!
I think its true that the camera must support this feature. But it's also about the throughput of data which has a certain maximum. That's why the resolution is reduced a factor 2, and enabling a frame rate of 120 fps, without exceeding the maximum data throughput.
But I also think that if it's possible on a Wave, it must be possible on a Galaxy S. I'm rather convinced they use the same camera, judging from the samples recordings made with both phones.
So hopefully, somebody can jump into this. Or give a real explanation how this slo-mo recodind works.
(Is it really a high shutter speed, and do you need a very highly illuminated object, or do they make use of some interpolation technique?)
Can anybody try!!!!
Can anybody running leaked froyo on SGS try this by editing the media_profiles.xml
i guess it might work as cyanogen mod 6 enabled 720p on the nexus one.
By editing the media_profiles.xml we might get 120fps video which can be slowed on computer(by reducing the video playback to 30fps).
Technically speaking i think it is possible if the camera is not causing a bottleneck, because the data rate at which 720p is encoded is enough for 640x360 at 120fps if we do the math.
So please it is my ernst request to all the pro-mods to try this.
Any news on this matter??
it occured to me that we could extract the cammera app from a samsung wave and translate the slo-motion feature to our i9000... any hint on how to do this??
Months old topic but... BUMP!
Really not fare that WAVE can do it but i9000 cant
What a great idea - although I suspect if it could be done, it would have been already....
Fingers crossed though
i think someone talked about this before but i can't find the thread in searches. is it completely impossible to get 720p video out of the milestone?
likely possible, just depends on how many frames you would like per second...
The camera seems to be high enough quality to capture the pixels you require but the phone may not be able to process/compress the video stream, given the frame rate you may desire.
I'm not totally sure, but I imagine that's going to be the overall consensus.
Cannot be done.
I believe the phone itself couldn't keep up.
No enough hardware for 720p on milestone

I believe once you root the phone and overclock the hardware, it should run video at 720p

is this true?
how would u go about enabling 720p video recording?
that would be awesome!
i have already rooted and overclocked to 900mhz
I don't know if is it possible since we can't even play 720p .mkv videos, which I believe needs less cpu/ram power than recording 720p videos in high frame rate.
Furthermore, Milestone's camera isn't that good at all, why you would want to record a 720p video with a bad camera sensor?
with camera.apk change this is possible?
Playing 720p files is perfectly possible, but recording, hmm maybe at 24 or less FPS so why bother I prefer D1 at 24+ FPS, than laggy 720p,
It should be 720p video recording min requirements are 30 fps rate. Nexus one at best have 25fps. Our phone runs from 30 without root even motorola has specs sheet.. I think it was Verizon who told Motorola not to add 720P video recording. Just to make users upgrade to Droid Incredible and Droid x . In the Froyo update to Droid Last Summer. Milestone will get 720 p video recording in the new update 2.2 os in Europe. You can always talk to Matt from Motorola to verified my statement.

Hi cry3200, could you tell me how do you play 720p .mkv videos??
It's the only thing I wish my Milestone could do and can't get it done. My videos don't play flawlessly whatever video-player/settings I've tried.
I only get 720p+ videos and I would love to play them in my Milestone without having to encode them in lower quality...
Hi there,
first off all i don't need this feature on my phone...
It doesn't make sense to me if the video resolution is higher than the display resolution.
Anyway, no doubt it is quite interesting thing from the technical point of view.
At least some things should be fulfilled:
- hardware support for 720p
- enough bandwitdh on the memory subsystem
- application to handle HD video files
So i took a look into the processors datasheet:
Code:
· XGA - 1024 ´ 768 VESA timings at 60 fps (pixel clock = 63.5 MHz)
· WXGA - 1280 ´ 800 VESA timings at 59.91 fps (pixel clock = 71 MHz)
· SXGA+ - 1400 ´ 1050 direct drive of LCD with minimal blanking at 50 fps (pixel clock = 75
MHz)
· HD 720p - 1280 ´ 720 CEA 861-D timings at 60 fps (pixel clock = 74.25 MHz)
Looks like hardware would basically supporting this.
From my point of view the rest of hardware should be powerful enough to handle it as well (at least it is a SoC with PoP memory).
There's also a high speed connection to the display.
Last but not least the CPU is very similar too the one used on beagleboard.
AFAIK you may play HD on this hardware.
IMHO there might be some trouble on the milestone because of the resolution missmatch.
Please correct me if i'm wrong!

scholbert

Just use VPlayer, set the quality in options to Speed or High Quality, and experiment with the buffer for different container types, MKV files should not exceed your card speed I use a class 10 card but the stock is a class 2, but usually I use MP4 720p files that I encode from MKV 1080p, I encode on the GPU so by the time I drink a coffe and smoke a cigarette its almost encoded, original MKV 720p has some audio/video sync issues with VPlayer so I dont use them, but if you overclock to 1.2 or 1.25GHz the sync problems are gone, I dont really remember a bit rate to tell you for encoding, but try with 2000-3000kb/s and see if it works I usually use between 3000-4000kb/s with my card
Just experiment,
EDIT: Forgot to mention, not all of the movies encoded play flawlessly but I'd say that 90 percent of them work, but keep in mind you need to overclock to 1GHz minimum so if you don't want to do that it wont work, and use FroyoMod cause its the fastest and most stable rom available, Gingerbread has problems with VPlayer it just crashes; but the problem is VPlayer itself
Thank you for your answer.
- The only reason i wanted this to work out-of-the-box is to not have to encode, etc.. Just copy the files in SD Card and press Play..
- I am always in 1.1GHz, I will try 1.2GHz..
- I encoded a couple of 720p .mkv files in MP4 with excellent (same I think..) quality with Handbrake and they played absolutely fine in Milestone. I just want to avoid this encoding process.
I will follow your advice and see what happens. First of all I guess I have to change the stock mSD with one faster.
Thanks for all the replies regarding this. I just figured that since the camera sensor has the pixels it should be able to fire out the extra res. I'm not concerned with the screen mismatch as the videos don't get played back on device, they get put on my computer and youtibe, both of which will benefit from the extra pixels.

Game Launcher only lets you select between 1080p and 720p. On the previous version I used Game Tuner to override it to 1440p. I didn't want to upgrade, as Game Tuner warned me about no support for Pie. But with the daily update notification, I could only avoid the update for three months before accidentally clicking Update Overnight.
Now my games run in 1080p again. Is there a way to get it to 1440p again? I would even gladly downgrade as this update is just horrible.
I can definitely tell the difference, especially in Real Racing 3, as it does not support Antialiasing; I used the higher resolution as a sort of Super-Sampling AA.
Sooooo open the game without game launcher?
Game Launcher doesn't actually list the resolution as 720p or 1080p. There's a "low resolution" option which doesn't always make a difference (maybe it was already 1080p). For some titles I think they might still run at 1440p but antialiasing has been turned off for more stable performance hence it looks like 1080p. Gear Club stuttered quite a lot if you used Game Tuner 1440p unless you overclocked but now it runs fine overall even if the resolution might be lower.
RR3 is not a good example because the game fails to even render at 1080p in the first place. People have been complaining about this since Nexus 7 2013 and other devices from that time, and the developers just said 'we can't fix this issue". It's done the same thing to me on my HTC Butterfly s, and Sony Xperia Z5, and is one reason why I'm discouraged to continue playing this game and waiting for its long download time. It's disappointing since iPhone gets much better rendering. Asphalt 8 and 9 aren't that much better either.
hello! I just got my brand new ROG phone 2 today and have been testing my apps and games since then. Everything works normal, the 120hz screen is as buttery smooth as everyone says, but when playing games I just can't notice any real difference between playing with a regular 60hz phone and this one. I have very few knowledge about the topic but I understand that the refresh rate and the in-game fps are different, however I supposed that using the 120hz mode should also increase the number of fps shown by the in-game stats, but in every game I test it always shows 60fps at maximum. I use to play Brawl Stars (a relatively low graphics game) a lot, and I noticed they posted about the recent launch of an update specifically made to give support to the 120hz refresh rate on the ROG phone 2, but It just goes to 60fps. I already tried setting the refresh rate to 120hz in the armoury crate app for the games but saw no difference. Is there any configuration or tweak I'm missing?. Oh, and I got the 8/128GB Tencent version. Thanks for your help.

That's because the games are capped at 60FPS by the developers. So, even though your screen can go 120Hz, it'll only be as high as the game itself.
Try these 120Hz games:
Trials Frontier
Mortal Kombat
Gear Club
DEAD Trigger 2

Thank you. I tried with Trials Frontier and for my surprise it goes up to 120fps I wonder why even the one that comes preinstalled with the device (Asphalt 9) can't go over 60fps
