The window it displays in is so tiny even after i use 2x scaling. Is there a way to get it to stretch to full screen? the built in fullscreen option doesnt seem to do anything
You need to go to Audio & video settings > Scaling mode and select Stretched.
Game Boy Advance's resolution is 240x160, so if you just up it twice, you still don't fill the Play's 854x480 resolution.
Fullscreen option only gets rid of the status bar.

I cannot seem to find the answer to what i have a question on, i see so many cool wallpapers and i dont know how to get them to run on my HD whilst TF is active. Seems I can only get my today screen to reflect the photo i select if i turn OFF touch flo, no good. Support? Thanks
Set the wallpaper via the setting menu on TouchFlo3D rather than the settings for the Today screen.
yes, bt doing so yeilds a low quality picture. any idea how we can set a high resolution pic (800x480) as the background to actually use the screen's full potential?

it is possible but the only way of doing it is a complex hack which is rather time consuming and the results are not perfect. if you would like me to write up the instructions i will do so when i get back on my pc. (browsing on my phone atm) the hack involves inserting pngs into system files and hex edits.
I've created a theme with a high quality wallpaper which you can find here
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.
Slingplayer, Xfinity, MX player etc...aside from Google Play movies, I have not found a video app that uses the full 6" screen. Slingplayer and Xfinity leave what looks to me to be over 1/4" of the screen on the right side blacked out. Is this universal or an issue with my phone? Is there a setting somewhere I haven't found to force full screen for video?
I am completely stock 8.1 at the moment...I don't think I should have to do something via adb like forcing immersive mode for something like being able to use my whole screen to watch video???
thanks for any and all input
I think this has to do with the apps themselves being updated to support the aspect ratio. As of now some apps support it and others dont, in time they will update.
It's likely because our screen is 1440 pixels x 2880 pixels (an 18:9 ratio). Most video conform to the regular 16:9 ratio. Because our screen is slightly wider than traditional, there are basically three options:
- Leave empty space as unused on the left/right side of the screen, which is default for most video apps that would otherwise be full screen. The video remains properly proportioned.
- Stretch the video to fill the screen. This would cause slight distortion on the video.
- Zoom the video to fill the screen. This causes you to lose a tiny bit on the top/bottom of the image, and might result in a tiny tiny bit of loss-of-clarity. But the video remains properly proportioned and unskewed. You can zoom in on YouTube videos with a pinch gesture to see this in action.
I'm sure that some more apps will likely adapt similarly to YouTube, but it may take some time.
We do indeed have HDR support, but it may be disabled by default and can only run on select apps.
1. Install a custom launcher like Nova or activities shortcut creator
2. Create an activities widget or gesture shortcut
3. Go to Settings
4. Find and select ’Video Enhancer’
5. Launch it and it will reveal the hidden setting
Alternatively, use the Magisk module HiddenSettings and modify the setting: hdr_effect 1
How to test if HDR is real:
Download an hdr video from 4kmedia.org. Change to full brightness and set screen mode to Adaptive. Hide navigation bar (use the quick shortcut). Play the video in the native video player. You'll then slowly swipe up on the Recents button, but without taking your finger off.
You should notice UI and graphics appear vivid. This indicates presence of gamma being applied. When you release your finger HDR is switched off. Saturation is a hue value, while gamma is brightness (how light or dark a pixel is). The real test would be to know if they are doing real-time processing, which is how actual HDR on TV works.
Hy is it possible doing this without using magisk ? or should we root the phone

Hello! I have the Ugoos UT8 Pro, android box. HDR only activates when watching an HDR video, but when the video is off, the screen goes back to SDR. This method you speak of, can it be done on my device to force enable HDR?

Is there a way to do it on sony xz2?
Hello everyone,
I did some searches on this and all I can find is i have to pinch the screen to zoom, problem is with apps like youtube and hulu the zoom cuts off the top or bottom of the video.
Is there a way to get fullscreen without cutting off the video?
I went into settings and fullscreen display but no apps display in there
