Notes

I changed lockscreen graphics using an alternative launcher, but you can't lock the screen without their custom launcher

Screen

From adb shell

$ wm size 738x896
$ wm density 350  # around 300+ is decent for use

or:

$ wm size 368x448
$ wm density 200  # between this 100-200 is OK 
$ wm density 100

I use scrcpy to do precise input, as the screen is often times just too small.
