Using a mobile Android, you can get to quite curious applications that allow you to carry out new activities. For example, you can change the screen resolution depending on the application.
Modify the appearance of the screen depending on which application you are in
Why would you want to change the screen resolution depending on the application you are in? One of the first reasons could be simply because you can! From time to time it is possible to run into applications that achieve quite curious things and that allow you to perform unusual actions. Why not take a chance and give it a try? You never know what profit you can get.
Second, changing the screen resolution according to the application can be useful if you are a developer who is testing different screen sizes and you want to see the final behavior based on the resolution. In this case you would use the app that we will talk about differently, but it is equally valid. Another reason may be to change the resolution in very demanding games, thus seeking improved performance. Either way, you can find different reasons to use ScreenShift, application that we are going to talk about today.
So you can change the screen resolution according to the application using Screen Shift
ScreenShift is an application that is available for free in the Play Store. It does not include ads, but it does include a button to make donations if you really want to. It is optional, so it totally depends on whether you use the app. Otherwise, it requires using root from 4.3 Android JellyBean, although curiously it is also compatible with Android Gingerbread. Of course, it will work better the more modern your mobile is.
From there, the developer warns of possible bugs and errors. I recommend having USB debugging enabled and doing a backup prior to avoid problems. Otherwise, the operation is quite straightforward. You can create different profiles that work for each application. You can assign a different resolution to each application and, when entering it, it is the one that will be applied. You can also use an overscan in some apps to "cover" part of the screen from some sides.
Thanks to this, you can choose, for example, a lower resolution in video games. If they don't offer a native graphics system, it's a good way to make sure your mobile can handle it all. And if you are a developer, you will only need a single device to check how your app behaves in various resolutions.
