Scale 1680x1050 on rMB without an app

Damn, read this right after I rebooted, after doing the above procedure. Haven't selected 1650 yet, but have the option. Guess I will wait a bit.
Yeah I hope someone will be able to find a fix, I really don't like using my MacBook @1440*900
thanks for letting us know,
was curious how scaling would work out with "10.12 macOS Sierra" (I use that in quotes because that reads like quite the handful for some reason-- just wrong on all levels, macOS restoration feels weird, 10.12 we should be in 11 or a new scheme like macOS without numbering and Sierra sounds better than El Capitan but dang the bar wasn't that high on that one) in light of its announcement and beta 1 release today,
I know I'll be staying put on 10.11.4, no compelling reason to roll the dice on a decent config with my gen 1 base rMB
Also can't trust Apple QC worth a piss these days
El Capitan Public Betas had its ups and downs (there were times I missed the comparative polish of Yosemite and app compatibility at the time) overall tolerable but nothing like being on Lion DP's and Snow Leopard certainly, oh those were the days

Hi guys. I'm having trouble with my rMBP and a 27" Thunderbolt display when being used in clamshell-mode. I've followed the guides however whilst RDM shows me the resolution (1680x1050) with HiDPI, when I click it, it does nothing.. I've ran the ioreg -lw0 | grep IODisplayPrefsKey command and it returned AppleDisplay-610-9227 to which I've made the necessary modifications this file and then rebooted, however I'm unable to actually select the HiDPI option; I can select the option 1680x1050 without HiDPI however it's obviously not as clear as HiDPI. I've also checked line 17 under the Color LCD profile and this lists 610 with 9cc3, I've also made changes to this however this also doesn't work. Any ideas? Hoping to use my new Henge Dock with the right HiDPI resolution so any assistance would be great. Thanks guys!
was anyone able to find a way to have the other resolutions (1536x960, 1680x1050) work with MacOS sierra?
I dont think I was able to edit anything in that folder, made the modifications in the file, but transferring it was problematic.
tried going rootless like el cap, to no avail,

I use the tiny app called RDM that was created by some Reddit user (phoenix something) and it's amazing on my 2016 rMB m7. I just have to run it once and select the resolution and the resolution will persist throughout sleep/reboots/lock screen everything. I never have to open it again if I like the resolution. I'm currently running my rMB at native res of 2304x1440 which for most people sounds ridiculous but it's very usable for me. Much more enjoyable than the default smallest resolution it comes with stock. I can snap two windows on the desktop and have a great amount of real estate for both and still be able to read everything quite easily. Plus with macOS' super easy pinch to zoom or double tap to zoom it makes it a no brainer for me.
RDM is what I use to leverage 1280x800 and 1440x900 without system pref changing, from the menu bar, but..
Anyone with Sierra yet find a fix ? Missing >1440x900

I've been playing with Sierra DP5 and 1680x1050 for the last day. There's lot of improvement over previous developer previews as the kernel panics are gone. However, there are still a lot of glitches and freezes that only goes away with locking the screen multiple times or turning off the display. All in all, 1680 is still unusable on Sierra, unfortunately.
i wonder why they shut it down, or maybe an unintended consequence of the code changes from el cap to sierra
Honestly, I'd blame new video drivers or something similar as my computer gets kernel panics when launching games that changes my resolution as well, not just when trying out unofficial HiDPI-resolutions.
Well, for me the reason is pretty clear: they want me to buy the new MacBook Pro to enjoy more screen real estate.
Just downloading the GM, going to install it on an external hard drive then try the hack. Will report back once I know.

Nice!
no graphical glitches/ kernel panic?
I'm on 2015 but probably will give this a shot with GM, what is "your method" so I know to do it right?

where does the edited file on desktop come into play? after recovery mode (how do you do this?? ) do you then reboot to normal and replace the file?
