I’m currently using this mod, I’m gonna report back if I found anything unusual. Feel free if you have any questions.
Edit: The screen has a greenish tint in the dark gray colors, if the brightness is set to low.
Edit2: After using for 2 days, I couldn’t find any problems, no screen burnin, or anything so far, only the greenish tint on darker areas. Some users are reporting that they don’t have this tint at all. Will report on battery life later.
Needs root?
Do any games support it though ?
How does it work on the Mi 8? I did the same steps on the Mi 8 but my toolbox app keeps crashing after install, and cant find an TWRP that has dbto in installation partition.
Uhh, it works perfectly with Pixel Experience. This is so awesome. RIP my battery but I’d take this smoothness for extra battery drain.
Anyone know if when I install this mod I will still be able to use google pay? Because if there is a way I am 100% doing this. Sounds awesome.
It looks like the Mi9 has 2 slightly different Samsung AMOLED panels. Some users don’t have this problem.
Is this a serious question
Testing. Try it higher until it bricks itself. Reset, and use the lower one
Just keep pressed the volume up and power buttons and flash backuped file in your recovery.
How did you figure out the max refresh rate of your panel? Hardware info app?
I would only want it enabled when I enable battery saver mode personally. But it would be interesting to see. It doesn’t make that much difference to battery, but every little bit helps when you have 5% battery…
That’s not how any of this works.
Monitor overclocking is very common on the PC. Currently running my 1440p 60Hz screen at 75Hz, so it compares better to my 144Hz screen. Many 1080p monitors are easily overclockable to about 85Hz.
That’s actually pretty fuckin cool
Please port it to k20 pro. While mi 9 had tiny battery (which will drain the battery even worse) k20 pro had 4000mAh.
If it’s ported to k20 pro my next phone is likely not a mi 9, but k20 pro
I managed to flush the mod and it’s all working but can’t see much difference. To be fair have only just had the phone and flushed this without a point of reference which might be the issue.
> Or you can just double animation speeds
I ~~just cannot express how much I hate~~ really don’t like those people that made the idea of speeding up animations wide-spread as a “magic trick to speed up a phone”.
This is one of the reasons many people look at Android as “the inferior mobile OS, because its animations aren’t well thought out”. Of course you believe that, because everyone thinks faster animations = better performance, but that just isn’t the case…
Animations do not represent device performance. The phone is still loading stuff at the same pace, animations are just extra, handled by the GPU most of the times.
Look at the iPhone – their animations are often called “slow” and unnecessary, but can you imagine iOS without animations?
Their animations are [dynamic and interruptable](https://twitter.com/stroughtonsmith/status/1005355088368603136). While using iOS isn’t quite fast, the experience is so smooth you don’t mind the animations at all, and I end up finding myself playing with the gestures a lot.
Android Q is moving towards the same kind of dynamic animations, and I hope less people will speed up their animations, and we’ll get some playful, smooth animations in the final release.
Though you should be able to do this with adb commands
Yep. 75Hz would be a safe overclock. I have a 75Hz freesync monitor and you can definitely notice the difference.
Will it work on k20 pro?
Mine flushed good.
If the panel is the same that there is on Mix 3 and K20 (Pro) then maybe we can port to them too.
The only difference is that the animations, scrolling in apps feels much smoother. You can instantly notice how much smoother it is compared to 60hz displays.
I wonder if you could also underclock to save battery.
Has anyone checked if the pocophone’s screen can be over locked as well?
Holy shit, that’s a game changer! Thanks for linking it! Can’t wait to try it out!
Yes, and I will report back on the battery soon. For now, there isn’t much of a difference. I say it has a 10-15% impact on the battery, but not too sure. For me it’s worth it for that trade-off.
It was the first thing I wanted to do when I got my Mi Mix 2S, but this option could not be change in toolbox. I hope someone will find a way 😀
I’d say it’s probably [something like what Sony did with the XZ Premium.](https://www.xda-developers.com/sony-xperia-xz-premium-hidden-120hz-screen-mode-razer-phone/)
Perhaps I was a little too harsh with this, it’s actually quite subjective whether someone likes animations or not, and it’s really nice that there’s an option to turn animations off or make them faster for this reason.
But saying that it makes the device faster makes everyone change their animation speed to .5x immediately without thinking, and thus end up with a possibly worse UX, with no real performance boost, when they would probably like animations playing at their intended, normal speed.
>Also, why are you so concerned about how other people are using their devices?
The reason I’m so concerned about this is because people keep saying Android has cheap, fast animations and they’re not as playful as something like iOS, and it doesn’t look premium enough, while they don’t realize that it’s not the default option on Android.
The reality is, looking at something like a Pixel or a Samsung phone, animations are actually quite nice and already fast enough on these phones at 1x, but most people use .5x out of habit, or because they believe their device is faster, at the cost of an enjoyable UX with smooth animations.
OnePlus is a notable example of having fast animations already on 1x. Change it to .5x, you halve those fast animations, and the experience is no longer smooth.
Snappy, maybe, but it no longer feels premium / intended.
Or you can just double animation speeds
Do you backup the whole thing or just the component being replaced?
And what do you use to flash it?
(sorry noob question I’m new to android technicals)
Every AMOLED panel itself is almost unique. They all vary. I’m setting up work phones and first we have to flash our business ROM. When you have about 20 phones lying next to each other you can really see differences between them.
Actually, the OnePlus navigation gestures are rendered really nicely at 0.75 or 0.5 speed
Chinese version TWRP to flash in partion. You backup only the component you replace. In the tutorial this is mentioned.
How do I backup/restore my phone in case this all goes south?
Oh God, I’m doing this rn if it’s easy. But I’m on Pixel Experience. Wonder if that will cause trouble
