Changing screen resolution on android devices without re booting

I tried changing the screen resolution in build.prop file in system, but it requires re booting. I need a solution for changing screen resolution on android devices without re booting.

Thanks, Krishna

Android can change the screen resolution.
I think that you need Android 4.0 and above version.

Only things you need is terminal emulator and root access.

Reproduce the following steps:
1. Open the terminal emulator app.
2. Type su.
3. Type wm.
Read the help message appeared and you will understand...

In case you want an App take a look at this on Play Store or the source from Github.

Set resolution (e.g. 1024x768):

$ am display-size 1024x768

Reset:

$ am display-size reset

Doesn't require a reboot. This works with Android 4.2. Solution for 4.3 is mentioned by LiTTle

There is also an App for that called NOMone Resolution Changer.

Unfortunately that is not possible. Everytime when Android boots, it will read the build.prop file and set parameters pointed by it accordingly. After it has booted, it will not access that file dynamically to change parameters. So for any change to take effect, a reboot is compulsary, you cannot escape it.
