If you've noticed an application drop from 120Hz to a max of 60 FPS (like the camera) then this tweak can help force it to 120 FPS for you.

Video Description
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Many smartphones these days ship with a display that is capable of refreshing more than 60 times every single second. This helps improve the smoothness of the UX and many of the UI elements but it turns out that the apps themselves are able to set a max display refresh rate if they so choose.

See, when a developer creates an application they also put together a manifest file. This file allows the developer to set certain options that the application will follow. So even though we're seeing smartphones like the Galaxy S22, Galaxy S22+, and Galaxy S22 Ultra shipping with a display refresh rate of 120Hz, some apps we install we refuse to perform at those speeds.

Camera applications like the stock Samsung camera, and the Snapchat application are great examples here.

Both are using a manifest that tells the smartphone it only wants to run at 60 frames per second. . .even if we have the phone set up to run at 120Hz.

So in this video I want to show you a small mod that will attempt to force all apps and games to utilize our 120Hz display so that the UI and animations appear much smoother compared to if we were running the display at only 60Hz


Now, this little tweak can't force games to run at a higher FPS than they are currently capable of. But, it will make some apps ignore their manifest file and refresh the display 120 times per second. just like the device is capable of doing.

so you will find some apps that still refuse to operate at this level (google maps is a good example), but this can help improve many other apps
