Changing screen resolution on android devices without re booting

Question

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

Answer 1

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.
