As we have seen in many android devices, the option of smallest width, Redmi phones have that setting in accessibility ---> vision
It has just 3 modes to choose, whereas in Samsung phones we get around 5-6 intermediate sizes.
Can we ourselves do something to get more options or we are left with just developer options to find the best fit.
You could enable Developer Options and change the dpi size? That should be an equivalent to it ig, pls try and tell!
With developer options I have tried in Mi Max prime and Oneplus 8T..
In Samsung m51, I noticed they provide various options of display size that improve user experience.
With us choosing any smallest width, there are few misses here n there...
Will do try n revert...

Sure you can do that or based on the resolution of your phone, you can try to see how the dpi changes for the same res samsung phone and change it to that value, again hit and trial ofc, but you can still try it!

Hi,
I am new to the p7. I am used from my Samsung and nexus devices to adapt via build.prop DPI in order to see more things on screen.
Build.prop has no DPI setting. How (which app?) Proved to securely change DPI? And what is stock DPI for 1080 and 720p (rog)?
Thanks
No one feeling the need to show more on screen? [emoji22]
Hi,
Have you found a solution for this yet?
I've recently got myself a P7 and I'm trying to get something similar to 240 dpi(like my s3).
People have mentioned ROG tech, but I can't find that option anywhere.
ROG setting is under Settings - Power Saving, then menu (upper right corner) setting.
Rog? I tgought its resolution (I.e HD 720p instead of full HD1080p)? Is there also a setting for density hidden besides ROG?
rog doesnt do the trick
I've activated ROG, but all it does it help the battery to last longer, by reducing performance and screen res.
What I (and op) are looking for, is something to change the dpi (pixel density/LCD density). Like on samsung phones, you can do it through build.prop
No one managed to edit dpi?
Still have a problem...
Where.is the rog option in emui3?
changing dpi on P7 ??? such little screen ?? NO POINT it is tiny already ..
Hi all. I've bought my first Huawei device this morning it being the P10, and was just wondering about changing the DPI in developer options. What numbers are good to use?
I use 400 DPI as i prefer it more.
I use 445 but on the plus.
btw has anyone figured out how to make this setting stay after a re-boot?
Maybe there is an xml or a line that works in one of the build.prop files (system or vendor)
Would be nice to have our own independent of the 3 default options as per DB menu.
When i change dpi in dev options of p10 to 420 then phone app and camera app got error display.
Please help me fix?
I have a p9 updated to nougat and I find no option in the settings----> display to change the screen size. I saw that in the developer settings there is the "minimum width" and I set it as 420 (for having a very condensed screen) but some camera elements have glitches. How can you have the condensed screen without having glitches? * I do not have the root *
Thanks much

The "minimum width" setting is the dpi. For the camera if you set the dpi higher the Pro mode switch goes towards the shutter button, but if you set the dpi over 410 this switch glitches out and stays in the air. So the simple answer is don't set the dpi over 410.

Yes, I was wrong to write, I said how to change the DPI of the screen. I set 409 to not have pro mode on the depth shutter and have the most condensed screen.
How does huawei not put it in the settings accessible to everyone (in the display to understand)?

I could be wrong, but i think its stock and manufacturer puts the dpi slider outside the developer settings, because you could mess up your screen. And i think it's accessible enough that people who know what DPI even means can change it. And you also don't need to mod anything to access developer settings, so everybody can use them.

Right, I did not think so
hey there,
i run Oreo on p9 AL10 and dev settings are 420dpi and no glitches in camera or anywhere.
Question, how to make settings survive a boot? it always defaults back to 360dpi after boot.
i played with build.prop but nothing worked for me. any ideas?
thx

Have you some features that you wish to be included on Emui 8.0 but you have to find an app to make it happened ?
There is my list :
Caffeine > Caffeinate
More Quick Tiles options > Shortcutter Quick Settings
AdBlock > Blokada and Yandex
Merged Storage (or move apps to SD) > not found yet :crying:
Change DPI of the UI > not found yet :crying:
A good Dark/Black Theme that don't mess with the UI > Change DPI of the UI > not found yet :crying:
Don't hesitate to share !

Multiple user accounts, it's such a shame Huawei crippled that option when it's supported by the underlying operating system. No workaround that I know of...
Wish there was an auto setting for the backlight...
First world problem I know but it's not ideal to have to adjust brightness yourself
There is merged storage. Its just not clear how to do it. Go into settings, then storage. Underneath the SD Card option there is an option called storage settings, default location. Change it to SD card, the tablet will reset and you will now have joint storage. Works fine for me. Having the 16gb version with only 7gbs available was a real shocker for me. I wouldn't have purchased it, if i had known this. I mean, seriously, why do they need over 8 gigs for the OS+install files?
Anyway, I slapped in a 32gb card, did the above and all my apps install on the SD card now.

I suppose you are not speaking seriously. Have you checked your internal storage before and after installing some apps?
There's no way you can merge the memory. Wish it was that easy.

Tried few values between around 700, but UI gliched a bit, camera UI was broken and few buttons were on top of each other.
If anyone have a valid value we would appreciate it.
Thanks for answer.
This low DPI for 1920x1200 screen are not serious from Huawei...
I set 720 dp. Settings menu are glitched.

Exactly, very useful for a tablet, especially when you have a kid. A shame…

Hello,
Values 679 to 754 glitches settings menu.
I set Smallest Width at 678 dp.
I used face unlock on my 2014 Nexus 9. It's a shame they have REMOVED this feature from original android. I was thinking of getting a MediaPad M5 Pro AND a Mate 20 Pro. I'm glad I have bought this cheaper tablet before. I'll never buy anything else from huaweii again.

No Screensaver on my Device
I bought the Huawei MediaPad T5 10 3GB/32GB and I am not able to find a Setting to activate a Screensaver.
Is my Tablet broken ?
Hey all, just got the 4gb t5. My first one had a backlight issue but new one seems pretty good!
My main issue was the size of the items on screen and the launcher. Lawnchair and lawnfeed solved the launcher easy enough but thought I'd share how I got to the item scaling menu.
I used the app quickshortcutmaker:
- Add widget to desktop, choose quickshortcutmaker
- Change search mode to normal
- Search for 'vision' and only one option should pop up, select that
- You can choose to make this a shortcut, or you can just hit test and it will open up the vision settings window.
- Choose view mode and said the item size down a notch!
This changes the display to be a little smaller without any glitches.
Hope this helps someone out!

I can't find the option in developer menu. Can you share please? Thanks
It's called "smallest width" in developer options, but doesn't stick after a reboot. If you use the method I put above you should get the smallest ui and without bugs, and it seems to hold when I turn the tablet off then on
Increase value in system - > dev options - > smallest width

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

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?
