Hi,
Does this phone have the ability to set the refresh rate to 60Hz with LineageOS?
Is there something like this:
Settings > Display > Advanced > Minimum refresh rate
where you can set the refresh rate to 60Hz? If someone has LineageOS installed on this device could you take a screenshot of the setting page?
I have read that there are problems with 120Hz and using dark mode. Here is an article that discussed this: https://www.gsmarena.com/oneplus_8t-review-2183p3.php
I am looking for mainly extra battery life.

only 120 but seem scale automatically
You can also force 120hz all the time through adb
Is there a way to force 60hz all the time though adb as well or only 120hz?

So is there a setting under display at all or is there no setting at all?
When you do 60hz it's locked at 60, if you do 120 it'll be variable so usually 120 but drops to 60hz when you're on a stationary page. If you want to lock it at 120 then you'll need to do adb commands, I used joneolus tools. Look up how to use it in YouTube, I found a great tutorial that'll walk you thru the commands
Is there an app for older devices (before the use of 90hz and above in today's phones) that can change the refresh rate from 1hz to 60hz or something like set options like 30hz/45hz/60hz?
Xiaomi mi mix 1

Refresh rate, measured in Hertz (Hz), is how quickly a display can refresh an image. Wondering why you want to narrow down phone's default refresh rate?

Main reason is battery saving. I have also read that upcoming (or already released) oppo phones will have adaptive refresh rate ranging from 1hz to 120hz so I was wondering if there's a way to do that in older devices with root?

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 (e.g. 96hz instead of 120Hz).
-Quick settings shortcut
-Tasker plugin support
Motion smoothness mode switcher(Normal, Adaptive or High)***
-Set you device motion smoothness mode to stationary refresh rates (high mode) for better smoothness if so desired on Samsung devices with native Adaptive motion smoothness with a little trade-off to the battery.

Per-app refresh rate settings:
Set different refresh rate settings for every app either adaptive or fixed(stationary) [premium].
Motion smoothness on power saving mode (not working to all devices with OneUI4.**+, test first). ***
-GMH will apply a workaround to bypass 60Hz limitation on Power Saving Mode (PSM) on supported Samsung smartphones.

***these marked features require a one-time ADB procedure (this is not root)
Galaxy Max Hz background service is highly optimized. Background battery usage p is very negligible .
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 will prompt 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.

All good, so far!
I noticed that the lowest refresh rate on stock was 24hz, and now with the app I am able to make it go to 10Hz, which is better
@tribalfs,
Unfortunately, when playing video in the background (i.e. Youtube Vanced in PIP mode) with 10Hz min adaptive refresh rate, the video starts lagging and gets choppy!
Also, Samsung TV Plus is not watchable with min 10Hz refresh rate, it is okay with 24Hz.

I'll check. But this is only happening on PIP mode right?

Yes, on PiP mode.
But, on all modes, including full screen for "Samsung TV Plus"!
Edit: also affects Netflix, Disney+ and Prime in full screen mode...refresh rate drops to 10Hz and video gets laggy/choppy.
Youtube seems to be fine though.
First app I downloaded. Great work my n20u worked flawlessly. On my s22u and the improvement is small but significant. Not touching the screen whilst playing video it seems to hit 10hz and low framerate videos. There's a work around using bixby but not ideal. Can I add video playback to a whitelist?

Thank you.
Still dropping to 10hz in fullscreen. The pip seems to be dropping to only 24hz which seems better. Is something different from the N20u?

It's working fine for me now.
Refresh rate drops to 24Hz now for Netflix, Disney+ and Prime.
Note: I cleared data then updated the settings again.

Same thing. Also noticed choppy behaviour in simple animations such as loading circle in different apps. It's as if it wouldn't raise the frequency fast enough and got stuck in 10 Hz

edit

gonna buy you coffee for the premium after the trial is up, nice app
Been playing with this
When I have it in adaptive mode, and any videos are playing if it drops below 120 everything its choppy and laggy.
I'm using the latest version downloaded off the web page.
Plex is laggy at anything but 120 and it drops to 10 real fast.
Video in games gets choppy on adaptive and the rate drops to 10.
Do i have something configured wrong?
for rght now I set it to high with everything else going to power save/10 when the screen is in AOD.
The rate doesn't really seem to make a difference unless I'm watching stuff so far.
I'll see how the battery life is with it set to 120 all the time when the screen is on while I use it, and 10 when I lock it with the AOD on.
Something odd is going on, I have it set to adaptive with
max 120
max 10 for power saving
min 60 for adaptive
it wont go below 120 now. BUT, if i set min 10 for adaptive it either does 120 or 10, nothing in between.
Powering off still works though, it shows 60, then hits 10, then the notification goes away.
the little status icon never drops under 120 now unless i have min set to 10.
What did I mess up or what do I do to fix it?

Are you using v7.14.33 ?
I can confirm that Netflix, Disney+, Amazon Prime, and Samsung TV are working fine, refresh rate drops to 24Hz lowest with 10Hz min adaptive.
However, just tested an mp4 video and can confirm that refresh rate drops to 10Hz and video gets laggy (do not use Plex, so can't test).
Edit: playing YouTube in the browser also gets laggy as refresh rate drops to 10Hz.
Maybe best to keep the min adaptive refresh rate at 24Hz for now until all apps are optimised.

yep, 7.14.33. It also stopped changing rates except for 10hz and 120hz, it will not use anything inbetween unless that's the max setting.. So if I set the min at 24, it would only use 120 (or what ever I set the max to) and 24, nothing in between like it did when I first installed it. It's just strange. 60Hz standard is smooth too though, any lower is choppy with UHD and FHD streaming. So unless something is really screwed up with my apk install or the way it's configured I may use 60/120 adaptive then 10 for screen off.
I also cleared data/cache and reset everything with the same results.

Hi All, this is my first phone with a variable refresh rate so I'm not sure if this is normal behaviour.
My adaptive refresh rate seems to only stay on 2 values, either 24hz when I'm looking at the screen eg reading, or 120hz when the screen is in use eg scrolling. It doesn't go to anything in-between 24-120.

Hey mate, hope all is well. Thanks for the info. I'm glad to hear it's normal behaviour, disappointed though as I thought that the phone was able to scale anywhere between 1-120hz depending on the situation. Not just switch between 24 and 120! I'll check out the app you've linked!
