If you want to change your Refreshrate to 90hz follow this quick guide.
Tested on the latest miui version.
First of all go to the Playstore and download following app:
SetEdit SettingsDatabaseEditor - Apps on Google Play
Provides direct access to the Android settings database
play.google.com
Afterwards go to your settings and change your Refreshrate to 120.
Open the app and find the entry "user_refresh_rate" "120".
Click on the entry, choose to edit and change the number to 90.
Repeat this step with the peak entry and change it to 90hz too.
Close the app.
Voila: you running on 90hz now. In my opinion that's the sweetspot between snappiness and battery saving.
Props to jmikepr:
Unable to make this work. Tried it about a hundred times. Running. EU ROM 12.6
Edit: Got it to work by changing peak display setting and user display setting. Thanks for the tip. 120 hz is overkill. 90hz is perfect.

UPDATE PLEASE READ:
UPDATE FOR EVERYONE!
Changing your refreshrate to 90hz will make some crazy things to your display!
It will get a greenish tint !
Grey will also be displayed really red/brownish
It will flicker even on max brightness!
It will burn in faster - at least my new mi11 u has already some burn ins compared to my mi11 from CN which is like 3 months old now I don't know for sure tho! It's so minimal only my hawk eye can see it anybody else couldn't till now.
Sorry but I just found this out now because my colours looked to differently with low brightness. I also got an exchange device and thought it was just a bad display.

Anyway to dynamically adjust it based on what's on screen and whether it's moving or not?

I read about a way, I think it was from another manufacturer , and it could lower the refresh rate down to 1hz when looking at a still image etc or a page of text etc , something that doesn't need to be constantly refreshed which would obviously be a major battery saver
If I can find the article again I'll post the link
To my surprise, my eyes can't even accept 90hz now. Talk about spoiled.
Great method regardless, thanks for sharing!

Yeah I think so too. I don't understand why everything needs to look fancy. I want a fast and snappy experience
Great stuff, will definitely try this when my Mi 11 Ultra arrives. 90Hz is perfect for me, I don't need 120Hz as I don't play mobile games.
Anyone knows if it'll stay @ 90Hz after a software update? Or it will change itself back to 120Hz?

Maybe you refer to OnePlus 9 Pro, that has stock dynamic refresh rate...:

I would just take a quick look after an update. To be honest I don't know tho!
Thank you very much for the solution to change the refresh rate. It works perfectly.
Even if after the upgrade will revert to 120, you can change it afterwards very easy.
Cheers !
How to change refresh rate manually using only default.prop file? Thanks.
One other cool thing I found.
If you set it to 90/90 ( user refresh/peak refresh) like instructed above, i saw that it also drops to 60 when seeing static web browser page content ( for example reading this forum pages ) which is actually pretty cool because it saves even more power this way.
Will test to see if it does the same with the default 120hz but i rear think 120hz is overkill for daily usage.
Only scenario where I can find it useful would be games that support 100hz plus refresh rates .
LE it would seem that the "dynamic" refresh only worked briefly until I clicked on the auto brightness icon in the drop down menu.
LE 2 it actually switching to 60hz when brightness is around and over 80%
Take care and thanks again !

What do you mean?youbcan change the settings in the Meue ofc but only 60hz and 120hz. The file is actually stock, you only changing the numbers and can changed them back any time you want

Thx for your reply. Did you already test it out? I was quite busy the last days - sorry for my late response.
Honestly 120hz are kinda gimmick right now. You can feel the difference but it's draining even more battery and like you said as long as there is near to no app supporting it it's just something to be proud of maybe haha
Best regards
Lol you already did test it out . sorry
If anyone find a way to dynamically change the refresh rate please let us know.
For example when watching YT videos maxed at 60hz would be great to scale the display to that resolution ( if it's already possible please let me know )
I saw that the game "The elder scrools: Blades" automatically switches to 60Hz when playing ( haven't tested out with other games because i don't game that much ) .
Also i noted that, if, for whatever reason, the display doesn't change to 60HZ when the game needs it, the game will continuously load and never enter the actual first menu
A quick fix is to increase the brightness over 80% so that the screen is already at 60 before starting the game
Cheers !
Thanks @speedtripler. I just disabled animations in developer options and it's like sh*t off a shovel!
Cheers

Hello,
A happy owner of this phone, that said, can we via some homebrew apk change the screen refresh rate and screen resolution? get the phone on a just 1080p @ 24 fps, think how much then the massive bat, would last, if there is a dev out there, i could (and most likely others) donate a beer to be able to use it +<3
edit: what do you know.. it does exist on s20 video, think its easier, can someone get that pkg for us ?
edit2 : found this app unfortunately, still cant change resolution, and refresh rate cant go below 60hz..
Cheers
We can change resolution
Remove OneUI Lags/Slowness
1. Download Easy DPI Changer (Play Store)
2. Set DPI to 340
3. Set Resolution to 775x1680
4. Download Termux

@Sagarking Ty so much for the reply,
Btw i posted a request for the dev of the the tweak linked above in edit 2

Can you add support for Galaxy m21, only quick dose mod working for now, it does have a FHD+ resolution, if u can manage the ability to change resolution to HD+, less than the locked 60hz refresh rate would be a bonus, ill be glad to support

Added. Try to clear app data and open while connected to the internet.
Hoowee, Ty so much matey, i can confirm resolution change to HD+ working.. definitely getting the full version asap. i posted a question/request bout this in the galaxy m21 forum, I ll update the post there to make sure more ppl using M21 know bout this fabulous tweak. thx again <3 from morocco. "
Since i promised tribalfs to support his app, Ill do.
Tll try Easy DPI Changer + your method for 1st half of ramadan, and update here which method is best for more battery life, ty again for the help.
Back from a good away time, paid the homebrew galaxy max hz, as promised, his latest version, does not unfortunately support screen refresh rate, of our M21, but offer a quick switch between 2 resolution:
1560px X 720px @ 280dpi (fps fixed @60)Hz
2340px X 1080px @420 dpi (fps fixed @60)Hz
personally i dont see much of a difference, @ lower resolution for my 44 old years eyes.. but not much battery saving on the other hand
The app, offer a quick doze mod on screen off with 3 presets (base, plus, max)
Thats it ,
up to you if you want those funtions enough to support the dev..
Cheers !!
@Sagarking "settings put secure sysuiroundedsize 1"
think this messed up the roundness of my display.., can i have undo it, or get the default setting?
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
Hi everyone, I have recently got an Oppo Find X3 Pro. I immediately realized that the keyboard works at 60 hz and not 120 causing lag in writing, and on social networks with autoplay videos it often goes at 60 hz and not 120hz .. is there any way to fix? otherwise you just have to sell it.
Thanks
Is it so important for you to have 120 Hz where they are not really needed?
On the video in social networks, most likely 30 Hz, maximum 60, why do you need to watch them in a single 120? What would the battery drain faster?
Laughter about the keyboard. If there is no 120 Hz on the keyboard, I will sell the phone. It's just cosmically funny.
the 60hz keyboard is real **** .. if it makes you laugh you should get a Nokia 3310 and use that. In any case I found a bug that with a white theme the keyboard works at 60 hz while with the black theme it goes to 120hz without problems .. and then in any case it is wrong to manage the panel from the software since the display should ALWAYS work at minimum hz and as soon as you touch the panel it should pop at 120hz like galaxy s21 ultra. It shouldn't be separated by app causing lag of all kinds. Now I also upload a video that demonstrates it!

The phone adjusts itself adaptively. If the video is 60 Hz, what's the point of displaying 120 on the screen?
This is called optimization, not wasted use of the phone battery.

It is called optimization if it does not cause lag .. the video must go to 60hz but the rest of the scrolling must not go to 60hz but must remain at 120hz as ON ALL the top range, example: Xiaomi mi 11, s21, Oneplus 9 pro etc .. none of these have ever given me problems of this kind. And in any case it does not justify the fact that the keyboard works at 60hz with a light theme and with a dark theme it works at 120hz .. it is clearly a bug and the poor optimization of details. In any case if there is a mod to always bring the joke to 120 hz as on oneplus otherwise you can also leave it alone to comment. Thank you!

Do you own all the flagships at the same time? Mi 11, S21, OP 9 Pro? I doubt it...
So basically you want to have lets say video played at 60hz on the top of the screen but rest of the view should be working 120hz(like YT app)? None of the above manufacturers have such technology implemented to support different screen refreh rate on various parts of the screen. If you feel im wrong - please share the proof.
Besides what is the the problem with keyboard working in 60Hz? Are u really typing faster than 60Hz?
Stop moaning, sell the phone, buy samsung or whatever else u like.

Maybe you don't understand what I mean. I do not want to see the videos at 120hz, but as on all the top range that I have tried and had for a few months example mi 11, s21, oneplus 9 pro, during the scrolling if you meet a video on social networks it should not go to 60hz otherwise it causes scrolling lag for every video you encounter and is annoying. The keyboard that goes to 60hz is an absurd annoyance because writing fast you can see the difference I was used to with the other tops. Then here we talk about dynamic refresh rate from 5hz to 120. But seeing even if you stay still on the home screen or on a photo, the display always works at 120hz does not go down .. but only on unsupported apps it drops to 60hz but not because it is dynamic but because those apps are not fully supported. Anyway, let's finish it here if there is a way to force 120hz on all apps well, otherwise I will sell it and take back s21 ultra, which, however, should not interest you. Thank you
Hi guys, it's possible put the Refresh rate always 120HZ? i think that LTPO refresh rate it's great, but i want always 120HZ, I can't found it, I've tryed to search on Display option and Development options
Many thx gyus
sorry, Oppo
I very much doubt you can, at least not without root and third party controls, which are ill-advised.
When I get my device later this week I will look into it as part of my review.
You don't need 120hz to display a static image, text etc say checking your emails - it is just going to destroy your battery life - dynamic refresh rates are the best way, so long as the firmware handling the adjustment works as intended.
Hey all
This is for the people for non root but I think you can use it with root too I found this solution because i want to keep my OnePlus 10 pro without root but still wanted to have the benefit of forcing 120hz to get rid of the switching what causes lags sometimes and everything can be downloaded from here with a video that it works ans how it works enjoy

Also there is an app call auto hz
it works, thanks so much, it was driving me nuts
It doesn't make sense to always force 120hz when you have an ltpo screen. It's best to leave the refresh rate high and it lowers itself to 10,5 or 1hz

true, but op's system makes the phone really laggy in apps that show video. i.e instagram
so it's more of a temp solution
