About this app:

Refresh Rate Mods

Change default refresh rates
- Easily change the overall refresh rate settings of devices supporting multiple refresh rates.
- Set supported mid refresh rates as the maximum refresh rate limit for battery savings
- Set separate refresh rates for power saving mode and for low battery state [1]
- Quick settings shortcut
- Tasker plugin support
Refresh rate (motion smoothness) mode switcher(Normal, Adaptive or High)[2]
- Set you device motion smoothness mode to static refresh rates (high mode) for better smoothness if so desired
- Tasker plugin support
Per-app refresh rate settings:
-Set different refresh rate settings for every app either adaptive or static [1]
Keep selected refresh rate mode on power saving mode[1]
- On devices with One4 or lower, GMH will automatically apply a workaround to bypass 60Hz limit on Power Saving Mode.

[1] Enabled for premium users (with 2 days premium trial)
[2] These features require a one-time ADB procedure (this is not root)[/TD]

Info:
This app targets older android sdk in order to control refresh rates without ADB setup or root. Just tap OK the dialog that says "This app was built for an older version of Android...." when opened for the first time. If OK button is not visible, just tap the blank space on the lowest portion of the dialog. If google play protect prompts during install that the app is built for older version of android and doesn't include the latest privacy protections, you can ignore it and proceed to the installation. For privacy related concern, please refer to FAQ No. 3.

Important Notes for OneUI5.1.1 and higher :
You also need to "Allow restricted settings" to the app:
Open Settings > Apps > Galaxy MaxHz > Click top right menu and Allow restricted settings

Important Notes for OneUI6.0 (Android14) :
Starting OneUI6.0, installing the app on OneUi6.0 requires doing it via ADB using this command:

Code:

adb install --bypass-low-target-sdk-block galaxy_max_hz_v8.1.apk

*The apk file should be inside the adb installation folder OR replace the file path in the command.

WIll be interesting to see if this makes much of a difference. With the S21 touted as having dynamic refresh rate adjustment, it shouldn't be needed, in theory.

You got the wrong theory.
It's not the first to have the adaptive refresh rate, note 20 ultra is. Been using this on note 20 ultra .
Though refresh rate is adaptive, phone is using the highest refresh rate (i.e. 120hz) atleast 80% of the time.
Setting the max to 96hz definitely consumes less battery than 120hz.
And this is not only what you can do with this app.

One question: us the 60hz also adaptive? Goes down to 10hz when not in use?

Sorry your question is not clear to me.
But if you are asking for smartphones with standard refresh rate (i.e. 60hz), I think they are all on a single 60hz refresh rate (i.e. fixed). I have not known any which can go lower than 60hz, moreso on the capability to go as low as 10hz. In fact, the S21 Ultra is the only smartphone capable to do so as of the moment.

Sorry. On the s21 ultra does the 60hz mode is also adaptive?

Sorry I don't know yet.
But if we based it on the existing implementation of Samsung in Note 20 Ultra's "standard mode", it is not lowering down to 48hz (the lowest refresh rate it is capable) when the screen is idle or if it has static content or even when the screen is turned-off or in AOD.

If fact this is true even in Adaptive Mode - Samsung actually (and strangely) sets it to the highest refresh rate (120hz) when in AOD or when screen is off. Watch closely this video. This is the reason why this app includes a "Screen off refresh rate mod" to override this behavior.

Not sure though if this will be the same for S21 Ultra.

I'm running into the following error while trying to set up the ADB on phone using my laptop:

adb: device unauthorized.
This adb server's $ADB_VENDOR_KEYS is not set
Try 'adb kill-server' if that seems wrong.
Otherwise check for a confirmation dialog on your device.

I didn't see any popup requesting permission on my phone. Any advice?

Try to do the following:
Disconnect USB > Turn off USB debugging > Revoke USB debugging authorization > Turn-on USB debugging
You can then resume to procedures described here.

Works on s21 ultra. I have 96hz set and it drops to 60 when you aren't touching the screen. Also the screen off mode could be improved. It drops to 48hz but lowest on s21 is 10hz.

I'll check that.
Can you share screenshot of the app showing the upper portion?
If you disable screen off mode, what is the screen off refresh rate shown?
Thanks.

I have identical behavior so seems like its just s21ultra tweak needed in general.

(Limited it to 96hz for now though thank you!)

10hz is not enabled in the system.

Thank you for this ppst and also the upper post. Can you use 60hz and it is going down to 48? Sadly my ultra should have arrived one week ago but Samsung.de have big shipping problems so likely i must wait another week :/

Strange because it's claimed the lowest it can go is 10hz but can't find any details explaining when it uses 10hz.

Think it will need an update. The note 20 uktra had the same problem at the begining and now it goes down to 48hz when you dont touch the screen

When its set to 60hz, it just stays there. Regardless of Adaptive or standard. When you re-apply adaptive mode, the app no longer allows 48hz as lowest refresh rate, only 60 as minimum when you set 96hz or 120hz as max refresh. I have not seen 48 outside of screen-off which is reporting at 48 when toggled instead of the 60hz s21u selects as its screen-off Hz.

You are not missing too much, as I hear the os release is still pre-release technically and full release OTAs are around corner. There are many display bugs still.
