Sony Xperia ZX Premium - 4K smartphone

The Sony Xperia ZX Premium has an outstanding feature that makes it perfect for VR/fpv purposes - a 4K display...

... in theory.

Unfortunately Sony decided that the usable resolution for 3rd party apps is locked to Full HD (1920*1080) by default - with the exception of some media content.

We already requested a feature that allows 3rd party apps to activate 4K resolution in the Sony forum - without success so far..

To be able to use the full 4K resolution anyway, some "tweaks" are needed.

you have to enable "Developer mode" on your android device - see here how that works
you need to download the Android Studio development environment by google - see here
connect your Android device to your PC via USB cable
open a command line in the directory sdk\platform-tools
in the command line, type "adb shell"

enter "wm size 2160x3840" to switch to 4K resolution
enter "wm density 800" to adapt the size of the icons to a reasonable size
see this forum for details

now you can run CAVU (and all other apps) in 4K
to switch back to default resolution, please

enter "wm size 1080x1920" to switch to Full HD resolution
enter "wm density 400" to adapt the size of the icons to a reasonable size

Please note that the Sony Xperia X5 Premium already had a 4K display - but due to a slow processor we do not recommend using it in 4K mode.
