Certain games like Fish Tycoon are only made for 240 x 320 and therefore does not use the full screen. Anyone know of an app or a way to stretch the game to use the full screen?
Thanks.

Hey
I have played no games for about 2 weeks. I just wanted to play solitare and i realized that the screen resolution is very small... alle the cards are smaller than before. I tested some other games and there are also small screen resolutions
In some games there are three-quarter black and only in one corner you can see the small game...
My Desire is rooted with Leedroid 2.3e.
what could i do against it?
Thanks!
No one has an idea how to fix it?
Have you changed the lcd density in the build prop or use a app to change it?
Did you mess with any settings in spare parts?
On oxygen the lcd density is 240, I assume it's the same for leedroid. If you messed with some apps regarding this, you have to find out for yourself what setting messed it up.
For example the new angry birds locks to horizontal on one side only and it won't flip to the other side.it was not an issue until I got a case. The case has a kick stand on the opposite side that the game defaults to. The same thing happens with many others as well.
Ideas?
Some games only support one landscape orientation and not the other, other support both landscape orientations and will switch.

With your case, is it possible to flip the tablet 180°?
You can lock the tablet in the orientation you want by turning auto rotate off before launching the game. You can also do this in game if you switch to your home screen.
Does anybody using Netflix have the enlarge/full screen button on the bottom right side of their Nexus 7 while watching videos in Netflix? Every tablet I have had, which means nearly every popular tablet made, has had the ability to expand 4:3 videos to full screen ( a necessity on smaller 7" - 8" screens if you ask me) via a small button (four opposed arrows pointing diagonally) located next to the total video time on the lower right portion of the screen.
For some reason, it is missing on the Nexus 7 for me in both stock or PA roms. I have tried changing the DPI & the resolution, but no matter what I do, the enlarge/full screen soft button just won't appear while watching Netflix.
Anybody have a fix for this? Anybody have that button showing? Try playing a 4:3 video like Star Trek DS9 on your N7 & let me know if you have an expand screen button in your Netflix app.
For the life of me I can not find this application, but I have heard of it. I want to force certain apps to a specific resolution, like one other than the native WQXGA resolution, like 1280x800. Also wondering if this app can help apps that don't scale properly, like Let's Play Golf 3 that is stuck in a tiny 800x480 section of the screen.
EDIT: sbdags was kind enough to point out the wm command, which led me in the right direction.
As mention in the title, I have been looking for a way to get apps to take advantage of the entire screen. Most games (Hearthstone, Cosmic Express, etc.) have a black bar at the bottom even when immersive mode is active. I have used apps such as Granular and Nav Bar Hidder to force immersive mode which does work for some apps but not for every app.
Other android phones such as the LG V30 and the Samsung S8/Note 8 have a feature where they force apps to run full screen with no black bar. I know custom ROMs could fix this problem by porting the feature and I have been looking around a ROM that has this feature, with no luck.
Does anyone know of a fix or a ROM that could help?
I think the apps need to be updated to take advantage of the 18:9 screen.
That's how it looks.

I measured it, the navigation bar hight is 168 pixels and the black area hight 202 pixels. So I would say on the unfilled area, the developers are to blame because they have not optimized the apps for 2:1 screens.

Funny thing is that this phone doesnt auto centered the screen when using an app that havent optimised for 2:1 aspect ratio,
Example, game will use left area of the screen, leave a big black unused space on the right.
Sometimes the "stock" thing in pixel make the phone actually dumber,
My S8 do better handling this situation.

I agree samsung's solution is better for this issue, should have been common sense by google to do the same.
Honestly the aspect ratio is the only thing that really pisses me off about the screen. Colors, tint, blah blah blah...I don't care about. The fact that many app developers still haven't gotten off their asses to fix this aggravates me to no end. I'd much rather have the 5.5" screen of the Pixel XL in a supported format then a larger device with a 6" screen that triggers my OCD.
