Hi everyone,
i search for that on the forum but i didn't find or maybe i didn't understand (sorry i'm french)
Is there any rom or mod that allows old games to run in full screen?
I bought some games when i had galaxy s2 ( like let's golf 2 and sims3 and some other gameloft games i had with my xperia play)
When i launch them on the nexus, i get a little image on the corner of the screen.
Is it possible to have them on the entire screen?
I hope you'll understand my "english"
Goodbye everyone
Go to settings > developer options and see if "force GPU Rendering" is ticked. If so, untick it. It can cause older apps to run in a smaller size. If this doesn't help, then it may just be due to the screen on the nexus.

Most of the custom roms have the option the enable and disable the soft keys. If you don't use or want to run a custom rom try this.

This works on most apps that don't scale to fit the entire screen, minus a few gameloft games.
This fixed for me Engadget, speed test and some other apps that just filled a small part of the screen.
The process is completely safe and reversible. no root required:
It seems that the stock firmware comes with "Compatibility mode" enabled by default and this is preventing from some apps to scale.
To fix this download space parts from the market.
- Open spare parts.
- Scroll all the way to "compatibility mode". it is unchecked, check it. if there is already a check mark there, uncheck and check it.
- reboot phone
- open spare parts again
- Scroll all the way to "compatibility mode". uncheck it.
- reboot phone
- done.
now apps like engadget will scale to fill the entire screen.
NOTE: it seems that in the latest version on some firmware version this options is disabled by default so most apps *should* scale.
If apps like engadget already scale for you - you do not need to do this.
Nice!! Thanks for your tip

Some Gameloft titles scale better than others.
NOVA scales well.
UNO not so much.
Asphalt 5, some say it scales well. for me it is not. maybe u used an older version.
This is great, but it makes one of my fav launchers go weird... I love UltimateFaves pro... using this trick suddenly makes the carousels tiny I use the carosel to put call and sms favs.... great way for me to send out sms fast to the few I always msg...
http://goo.gl/tBbLs
I would definetely use this trick as it seems to only help some apps scale right (most in my case). Does anyone know how to NOT let it try scale/affect certain apps like this one?
This Program is work with any not fix resolution programs but not work with fix resolution prgrams.
some fix resolutio progams will be not open or smaller displays than original display and problem with sensor for game too. I try to play hungry Shark is full screen but sensor is slowly than original display
For phones?

I wonder if there is anybody else trying out the new ShadowGun game using chainfire3D on our DHD.
i ask cause i have some issues. it runs quite smooth but freezes/reboots in 9 out of 10 case during the game play. and i am curious if there are others for which it runs fine and what kernel/roms and settings they are using.
I have virtuosus 2.39 and lord bfs kernel but I have tried also with unity 9 kernel and oc up 1152mhz but the games freezes on first battle with first two monster!
I have reduced texture size and quality and disabled map buffer emu but I can't play this wonderful game!
Any advice??

yes the same issue did i had even though once, yes only once i managed to play a bit further.
but now there was an update to the game and it doesn't seem to freez or reboot anymore but it has now other issues:
enemies are invisible but the aiming cross still colors red when pointing on them. also it seems that the enemies do not see me Oo
and the bullet shells that come out of my gun when shooting are only pink squares.
but till now it didn't crashed or froze. i tried nearly every combination of chainfire3d settings but allways the same.
try the update, maybe you have more luck. can only hope it improves in the near future.

it is in the market from where i got it. it offers now an update. after updating it also downloads 250mb of new game data.

The graphic bug comes from a broken download version. they have fixed it now, download again and it works. except for dhd...
with a dhd you see again no models (without reduced textures) or it crashes (with reduced textures) if somebody dies (maybe the blood animation, if you look away direktly after the kill, it works).
i hope somebody can fix this
thank you very much for the info. lets hope chainfire can do something about this.... quick.
i can play game in version 1.0 and not problems.
could you give some details? rom? settings?
cause we alle played it also with version 1 and you seem to be the only one being able to play it.
i once could play it to without crash but only a single time.
htctouchelfin found a possible solution for us DHD users for running ShadowGun without crash/reboots:
install this shaders:
http://www.multiupload.com/AKPTZRBHFZ
activate "disable map buffer emulation"
activate "reduce texture sizes"
the shaders are not from him, but i still don't know from where. when i know i will report back.

i think this is due to reduced texture size. this has quite some impact. but you could try disabling this and instead use reduce texture quality. if it works report back. currently i do not have time for that to test myself.
hi i used the shader and it worked to ckear the first level,and i also finished the second level but the problem starts again in the level 3.it again freezes and i need to hold power key of 20sec to switch my phone.pls post if u find any new shader to fix it.my mobile is samsung galaxy s plus i9001
htctouchelfin also found this:
http://www.multiupload.com/OMJN62M3HD
you have to replace the files in the game directory with this, because the game crashes in level 3 or 4.
This may sound dumb as hell, but it says on the market this game won't work on my phone, if I install chainfire3D will it make it work ?

This is a Mod that I have used on the Galaxy S4 but I have an HTC One and can verify it works on both.
THE BIG DIFFERENCE IS YOU HAVE TO DOWNLOAD THE CIRRECT MULTI DPI PLAY STORE FOR YOUR FIRMWARE. (IF YOUR ON 4.1.2 OR 4.2.2 MAKE SURE YOU PICK THE CORRECT DOWNLOAD)
I just wanted to start a topic on tegra 3 and other games that work on the HTC One. Last night I did a little testing with a few Tegra games on the HTC One that are not in the play store on the device that worked.
(Update) To find almost all games in Play Store follow thes 8 steps Carefully.
(I AM NOT RESPONSABLE IF YOU MAKE A MISTAKE OR MESS YOUR PHONE UP. TAKE YOUR TIME)
1. Download this file. (Its used for another fix but helps us also
Multi Dpi Play Store for 4.1.2:
http://www.4shared.com/zip/3Gnxyxla/Multi_DPI_Play_Store_v416_for_.htm
Multi DPI Play Store for 4.2.2
http://www.4shared.com/zip/66jo-mIz/Multi_DPI_Play_Store_416_for_J.html
2. Move zip file to internal SD Card
3. Reboot into revovery and flash Multi DPI Play store.zip with CWM or whatever flashing tool you use besides the stock then reboot.
4. Download ES File Explorer.
5. Hit menu and then "Root Explorer"
6. Hit "Mount R/W" (I just mount all 4 and press ok)
7. Now go back to main screen and tap the top bar and pick "Device" (so yoyur not searching the Sd the actual "Device" partition for system files.)
8. Look at the folders displayed below and tap the one that says "System"
9. Tap/Open the "build.prop" file with a text editor of your choice.
10. Change the line that says:
(ORIGINAL)
ro.product.device=..............
(The ... stands for whatever your device is. Its different for every one so I just put .... as an example)
(NEW/CHANGE TO **Only use one of these and dont copy whats in brackets**)
ro.product.device=softwin (Fakes JXD S7300b)(Recommended)
ro.product.device=olympus (Fakes Motorola Atrix)
ro.product.device=d2att (Fakes Samsung Galaxy S3 on att)
ro.product.device=grouper (Fakes Nexus 7 Tablet)
ro.product.device=tf300t (Fakes Asus Transformer Pad)
ro.product.device=GT-P7500 (Fakes Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1)
ro.product.device=maguro (Fakes Samsung Galaxy Nexus)
ro.product.device=tf201 (Fakes Asus Transformer Prime)
(Make sure you change what comes after the equals sign to "softwin/olympus/d2att/etc" no spaces)
11. Save, restart your phone.
12. Go to Aplication Manager in your settings. Clear data for Google Play Store.
FINALLY check the Play Store for a ton of new apps. Give it a few minutes to add the new apps well your searching. Takes a few minutes to see the changes and new apps!!!!!!!!!
ENJOY AND REPORT BACK IF THIS HELPS
So far ive found out that:
The Dark Knight Rises = Workes perfect so far. Great graphics.
(New) Dead Trigger = Working good no issues ive notice. Still trying it out but seems really good and fast loading.
(New) Gangstar Rio = Running perfect.
(New) Samurai II Vengeance = Working good, no issues as of yet.
(New) N.O.V.A 3 = Runs amazing havent had any issues.
(New) Wild Blood = Works fine. No issues at all.
(New)The Amazing Spider-Man = Working good. To bad drawing distance wasnt increased for the game seeing as the HTC One has so much ram
(New) Rayman Jungle Run = Works great no issues. Looks nice on the HTC One.
Real Boxing = NOT WORKING. The fighters did not show in the menu when choosing fighters for the match. Black screen once in the fight but you can get into the game and navagate menus to a fight. Might be the apk/sd data I was using not to sure more testing soon.
9mm = NOT WORKING. Non compatible message. Still trying different versions.
NBA Jam = NOT WORKING.
Wanted to add to the list Tegra games that can be bought in the app store (just for reference):
Riptide GP = Works great. Max out graphics settings in options for water splashed on screen, better waves and all around better graphics.
I know theres more in the Play Store just cant remember right this second.
Anyone who has tested Tegra games not purchasable and purchasable in the Play Store feel free to add to the list or do your own testing with different app Could be useful later on, obv the HTC One can handle these games.

Yes some of them are all ready there. Those are just apps for compatability saying if they work. There are so many it adds I'm not going to name them all off one by one. I've taken before and after pictures and any can confirm this works. Maybe your the lucky one that sees the apps without it but there's thousands of people who do not. Many Tegra and Gameloft games.

Simple Question is;
Why have a Galaxy Tablet 3 with a larger screen than my phone (note 2) and wind up having SMALLER font?
In other words, If I open my gmail in both devises and I am looking at 15 emails and subjects, when I lay them side by side the phone (note 2) has LARGER font than the Larger screen tablet does.
I have searched, looked and scowered the net to find a fix.
One guy, form here had posted and mention this forum that some one said you have to ROOT the tablet then get another app that lets you choose in setting of the app, in this case Gmail to have the application "think" it is on a phone and not a tablet (tab 3) in order to get it to be bigger.
I have been told, Don't root that Tab, you may just lose it and not be able to recover. I know, Ya'll in here might laugh at that but IM not a techie.
IF anyone has a clear Video of HOW TO MAKE THIS WORK right you will become a Youtube Viral sensation.
Want to have some fun? Walk into a sprint store and ask them this, "

Hi guys,
I am running PA 4.3 now on my N4 and coming from 3.99 I am missing the option to run apps (especially games) in full screen mode with pie enabled.
For some games in PA 4.3 e.g. Hill Climb Racer it is automatically set to full screen/PIE mode.
So there must be an option or a list or something where you can add those apps to start in fullscreen mode, right?
If that option still exists I can't seem to find it Can anyone help me out please?
Thank you very much in advance
Hybrid engine is not yet implemented
Alright, thank you for your answer!
I thought hybrid engine basically was to run apps in tablet-like mode? Like the settings menu in PA 3.99 for instance, which was quite useful but has not been implemented yet, I know..
Running apps in full screen or immersive mode is something else I think..!?
However, if it has not been implemented yet, that's fine. But I find it rather confusing that some apps automatically start full screen and am I asking myself how that is possible!? Or how I can do for some other apps.
I probably will have to wait anyway until the PA-team announces it.. just really missing that feature
cheers

Hybrid was more than just tablet UI.
It has not been finished for 4.x yet.
As for the apps that automatically launch in FullScreen mode, it is the app itself calling it, not the ROM controlling it.
