[GUIDE] Force 90Hz for almost every App/Game (Uncaps FPS)

Oneplus 7 Pro
Force 90hz Refresh Rate in almost every App (and Games)
*also uncaps FPS (since Vsync is on by default for Android)
Requirements:
1. A Windows PC (Windows 10 64 Bit is preferred)
2. Oneplus Drivers
3. A USB Type-C Cable
4. Your Oneplus 7 Pro
Steps:
1. Plug in your Oneplus device and select File Transfer mode in your phone's notification selection, then open My Computer and you will see the drive for Oneplus Drivers.
2. Install Oneplus Drivers (you may be prompted to reboot afterwards). You may need to plug and unplug the device to finish driver recognition. Unplug your phone once it is finished.
3. In your phone, go to Settings > About Phone, and tap Build Number multiple times in fast succession until the message "you are now a developer" appears.
4. Go to Settings > System > Developer Options, and turn on USB-debugging.
5. Go to Playstore and download jOnePlus Tools
6. Plug your device in your PC.
7. Anywhere on the empty desktop of your PC, press shift + right click, and select "Open Powershell window here"
8. Wait for Powershell to load
9. Type "adb shell" without the quotes
10. A permission prompt will appear in your Oneplus 7 Pro's screen, allow it.
11. Type "adb shell" once again and press Enter, and you should see your device like this "Oneplus7Pro:/ $"
12. Type or copy-paste the text below without the quotes:
"pm grant net.jroot3d.joneplustools android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS", and press Enter.
13. Once you've entered that, it should repeat what you've typed in the next line.
14. Unplug your device, and open jOnePlus Tools app.
15. Tap Screen Refresh Rate and select Force 90Hz
16. Congratulations, you are done! To confirm, you can go to Settings > Display > Screen Refresh Rate and you should see it as 60Hz from the outside, but when you tap it, you will see that nothing from the 2 choices is selected. It means you are using the 3rd Hidden Setting.
Tip: You may need to reselect Force 90 Hz from the jOnePlus Tools if you have selected 90hz or 60hz from the settings.
Note: This will enable 90hz (and up to 90 fps) for apps and games, unless the app itself has an even stronger FPS-controller then it will tone-down the FPS to the standard set by that game. But for most games without an FPS controller or 30-FPS-locked games without an in-game FPS-controller, it will work 100%.

No, try it. The brightness and resolution actually kills more battery than the refresh rate, so set the reso to dynamic, and the brightness to less than 50% always.

Anyway to set auto brightness but less than 50% always ??

Or you could simply use Smurf kernel which already has this in the config and stays set through reboots. Or just use the original method from C3C076 which sets it permanently no need for this extra stuff or to have joneplus tools constantly in background for no reason...

9 hrs SOT? @op do you have qhd or fhd?
Stock kernel? Any mods?

if i restart my phone will the settings i made gone?

Adb method from C3C076 resets after every reboot, that's why I made this tutorial for those unrooted people who wants to make the setting stick.

Either set it manually, or use YAAB app as a replacement for auto brightness, which you can set the maximum ang minimum brightness.

Dynamic, stock kernel.
No mods, I just control every background app using built-in background restriction, deepclear, and deep battery optimization.

Just for information, my kernel config has a switch to apply 90Hz, auto or 60 HZ.

Did you actually test it? "ADB shell settings global put" command changes user settings that are stored in the filesystem and are thus persisted across reboots until explicitly changed by the user.

Stays through reboots for me... And like I said there are easier simpler and faster ways to achieve this without need of all this extra stuff. Smurf kernel already implemented this in his config so it stays like that too. And C3C076 had made qs tiles for this. I've been using his method for over a week now through several reboots no issues.

I did not restrict system apps, only the apps that I installed. Apps that I need notifications from such as Telegram, is not included in the restriction. All other apps are, like games, editors, etc..

Download and install setedit app can be found in play store open it and scroll down to the string "peak_refresh_rate" press it and then chose edit value then change it to "1" then confirm
To get back to the normal 90hz just change it to 60hz and then again to 90hz from the settings

Question How to force 60Hz in Youtube Vanced and on AOD?

When 120Hz is enabled in settings, Youtube app will run at lower 60Hz which saves the battery (since there is no need to view 30fps videos in 120Hz)
But Youtube Vanced runs at fixed 120Hz - is there any way to force Vanced to also run at 60Hz? By adding vanced youtube bundle id to system table or something?
Also is there a way to force AOD to run at 60Hz (or lower?) - Always On Display runs at 120Hz fixed which is super unnecessary and just drains the battery

Especially the Always On Display should not run in 120hz, that is totally crazy. How do you know that it does?

display on Mi 11 is not capable of running at 1Hz, I think 48Hz is the lowest it can go (but not sure even of that or if 60Hz is a hard minimum)

The better choice is to using 90hz rate all the time, good balance between 60/120hz. Seriously i don't see any difference in game/apps between 90/120 but battery life is really different !
Personnaly if you like so much 120hz, you can replace 60hz by 90hz and keep 90/120 insteak of 60/90hz

I tried 90Hz using the method from the video, but it wasn't good - 90Hz felt like it was below 60Hz, not smooth at all when scrolling
So I didn't like this method at all
It would be best if MIUI had option to choose max refresh rate for each app individually
Forcing max refresh rate in most apps is stupid, especially on AOD

I've followed method shown in the video after which 90Hz was enabled (I enabled refresh rate indicator in dev settings so I can see the refresh rate)
scrolling thru app drawer and settings was choppy at 90Hz - there was micro stuttering, not sure why, but it was there
So enabling 90Hz via this method is not good (at least on my Mi 11)

Guys there no "choppy" 90 hz, 90 hz is truly activated, it's not 120 hz. In my case all is smooth. This 90 hz is like 90 hz purposed on MiuiMix. There no good/true or bad method... It's 90 hz, not 120 hz, so just better than 60 hz. No less, no more

Question Touch sampling rate

I have downloaded an app called touch sampling rate checker and my Moto Edge 20 only shows a rate of 90-117hz regardless of screen refresh rate setting, however when using the same app on my mi11 it shows a constant 250hz and the mi 11 seems smoother in Twitter and Facebook etc am I missing something here?

Touch sampling rate and refresh rate are two different things. If you want a refresh rate checker, you can find it in developer options.

Yeah I get that but I thought this phone has a 576hz touch sample rate? Unless the app is inaccurate ?

Not sure about the app, maybe try a different one.

You have to enable game mode for individual apps for max touch sampling rate to be enabled.

Unfortunately I already did that and the maximum I see is 250hz. Where have the 576hz they said gone?

So that means that the value is dynamic up to 576hz. nothing to worry about then

Android apps dont usually report the correct sampling rate. Connect the phone through USB to a PC and run through ADB run the commands: "Adb shell getevent -r -t -l" and then start swiping on the display. It should report the correct sampling rate.

That ADB thing really helped. Now I can see the real use of touch sensitivity. From the huge list that came out I could see a maximum of 473hz. So the capability that Motorola offers is installed.
Thanks

It varies on how fast you can drag your finger across the screen. I'm sure that if you drag it fast enough you'll hit 576Hz.

Yes, I was able to notice that. When I made a simple contact, the response barely reached 100hz, but if I made aggressive contacts, the response was quite high.

I just found out by experimenting Game Turbo:
1. Add your Game App/ Touch Tester App to game mode/turbo
2. Enable Auto Rotation mode (Portrait / Landscape mode)
3. Rotate ur Phone to Landscape even if the app doesnt support it
4. Touch the Screen while in Landscape and see the result Increases to Max Touch Rate
Follow what i said. I want to see the result.

Thanks for the tip man I was freaking out with my Xiaomi 11T Pro who supposedly have 480hz sampling rate screen and was just getting 250hz tops within checker apps, until I run them through Gaming Mode as you suggested with Pro mode enabled and YES the sampling rate wen above 500hz tops.
So the range is dynamic? Supposedly to save battery I guess?
Regardless thanks!

How To Guide [GUIDE] How to *actually* force peak refresh rate. (Snapchat, GCam, Insta, etc) (Does not work on Android 14)

[Re-posting this here after I confirmed it work with the Pixel 7 as well]
To be clear, this is not the same as the developer option.
Enter the following ADB commands (you can also modify these values using the app SetEdit in the Play Store, no root required):
adb shell settings put system peak_refresh_rate 24.0
adb shell settings put system min_refresh_rate 24.0
The reason this works is because by assigning it a random and unsupported value, we are [kind of] breaking the refresh rate. As a result of which, the OS won’t be able to adjust this rate, and hence stick with the maximum available rate.

You can also enable the "Force Refresh Rate" in Developer Options. I tried it, but don't really care to keep DO enabled. Also you can enable "Show Refresh Rate" in DO. I did that also, and realized that with keeping it at 60(normal), and keeping "Smooth Display" on, the phone kicks it into 90 the moment you touch the screen. So forcing 90 100% of the time is a waste of battery in my opinion. Only when the phone is not touched for three seconds does it drop back to 60. Otherwise any use of the phone it stays at 90 normally.

Started my day today at 100% 7AM and am at 52% 11PM so I am happy. I can't stand Snapchat being 60.

Update on my observation. It may be a placebo effect, but knowing that it changes makes me see a slight stutter. Forcing 90 at all times "seems" much smoother, so I'm leaving it on also. Cheers!

this trick is irrelevant, you can do it in developer tool....

The developer option does not force in many cases. In Snapchat when you swipe to the left and the camera is still initialized it stays at 60hz. Once the camera is not initialized it goes to 90hz. I believe it is the same in Instagram.

My fix is in the original post. Has been working great for me.

Been using this for a while, but let's saym hypothetically if I wanted to restore it to default settings, which values do I need to put on the adb commands?

If I do those ADB commands and decide I want to not have them anymore, how would I revert?

To get your default values before doing the change, use:
Code:
adb shell settings get system peak_refresh_rate
and
Code:
adb shell settings get system min_refresh_rate
For me on stock firmware unrooted, peak_refresh_rate = null, and min_refresh_rate = 0.
Thanks for your fix! I was wondering why some apps were low hz.

Default values (stock unrooted):
peak_refresh_rate = null
min_refresh_rate = 0
Thanks for your fix! I was wondering why some apps were low hz.

I've just got a Pixel 7 and thought I'd try this.
Observations, stock not rooted etc
Peak refresh rate = 90
min refresh rate = null
Applied the settings in post 1
and both come back as 24 when 'getting' peak/min rates from adb.
However, turning on show refresh rate in developer options show 90 when using the screen, but drops back to 60 if you leave it for a few seconds.
it only stays at 90 if you turn on Force peak refresh rate in Developer options.
This is only so far when messing about on the home screen, not tested in any apps etc, but it looks like these settings can't be fixed by setting a random number as post 1 implies

As a quick follow up, setting both peak and min to 90 does fix them, but seems a bit pointless as you can turn it on/off within developer settings.
This is not a bash at the OP, but maybe recent update have taken this 'feature' out

Does this survive a reboot?

Though the above might be a possible solution, here is the proper way to revert using ADB:

To dig further into the possible System settings (amazing topic ^^)
adb shell settings list system

You can't force peak refresh rate in developer settings. It will still drop at times, like in Snapchat when the camera is accessed, on Google Maps, etc. It still automatically drops to 60hz despite the developer option being enabled.
And after updating to the Android 14 beta this workaround does not work anymore, and I am very frustrated that I am unable to truly force 90hz anymore.
