Increase battery life by lowering screen resolution to 1080p

Here is a little tutorial I have put together for the upcoming Motorola Moto X Style (Pure Edition). The new Moto X comes with a Q-HD display. Though a higher resolution might be nice it does use more battery as well. With this simple guide you can force the GPU to render the OS and everything in it, in 1080p instead of Q-HD. The display will still be Q-HD but everything on the phone, including the full Android OS, will be displayed in 1080p. This will increase S.O.T and battery life noticeably.

Prerequisites:

1) A rooted device running stock/stock based ROM.

That's it! Now you can get some extra juice out of your new Moto X.
