Hello
I want to use my nexus as carpc, but frame in my car is a bit narrower than tablet screen. Is there any way to "cut" screen/resolution? Or custom set the displayed screen dimensions?
Thanks for help!

actually it worked but when i slide the windows of the laucher the picture also slides
but i want a single universal image for all windows of the launcher.......just like the pre installed live SE wallpaper
Thats because the wall paper size is 960x854 while your screen is 480x854 which means the wall papers are scrollable.
If you don't want that there are some launchers which have the option to turn that off like launcher pro, its in the appearance settings.
from my Arc or Optimus 2x
Yup, the picture slides by a bit. Think of it like an extended wallpaper.
I recently got an Epic 4G Touch. I created some custom wallpapers and sized them to 480x800 to match the screen's resolution. The wallpaper has a single object (the HAL 9000 eye) which is a circle.
When I use the wallpaper as the lock screen, the eye is distorted slightly so that it's no longer a circle.
The gallery displays the image properly and the selection screen for the lock screen also displays it correctly.
I think I can compensate for this by resizing the image slightly, but I don't know how many pixels to remove from the image. I think the status bar might be a good starting point, but I don't know how many vertical pixels it uses.
Thoughts?

Because of wallpaper scrolling, you need 800x960 wallpaper. In other words, double the horizontal dimension to allow for scrolling...
My wallpaper doesn't scroll anymore, I'm not sure why.

I tried creating an 800x960 wallpaper using the same eye image and it didn't work. I used GIMP to create a black background image and then inserted the eye image as a new layer. The 480x800 images I created were done with the same method.
The 800x960 wallpaper is still distorted. So the problem is that the aspect ratio of the lock screen is not quite 480x800 or any multiple of those dimensions.
Through some experimentation, I think that changing the vertical dimension to something less than 800 seems to work. For example, I took my original 480x800 image and cropped 30 pixels off to make an image of 480x770. I then resized the image back to 480x800 while ignoring the aspect ratio. This results in a distorted eye, but the distortion is in the opposite direction. (The 480x800 wallpaper is distorted in the horizontal dimension. The 480x770 resized image is distorted in the vertical dimension.)
The 480x770 image is slightly less distorted so I think this might be the way to go. Short of guessing the right dimensions, I was hoping for a way to determine the best dimensions to use.
To help anyone else reading this thread, I'm attaching the wallpapers I've created. Feel free to download them and try them out.

I think I read somewhere here that the latest Samsung stock update disabled the scrolling wallpaper.
home screen or lock screen?
Lock screen does not scroll.
For home screen you need 800x960 image or you may need to adjust your original 800x480 image to 400x480 and double the pixel size.
To scroll the home screen wallpaper, you need to change the option to make it scroll.

I'm working on the lock screen. With most wallpapers, the difference in the aspect ratio is likely not noticeable. I just happen to see it because my lock screen image has only one component and it's very easy to see when it's distorted.

This really sucks. I also miss the bounce effect on the browser/when you reach the end of a menu. Was it due to the Apple lawsuit?
I'm trying to get this shot of the headphones to be shown entirely on the home screen of my Nexus 7 but I can't seem to format it properly. What I did first was shrink the width to 720 (with the height changing proportionally) and then I pasted it into a black background of a 720x1280. I loaded it onto my tablet and I only get the headphone partially. I then took the original image and increased the canvas width and filled in with black. I pretty much get the same cropped portion of the headphone. Can anyone help me in what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks!
Tweaked the image a little as it looked very crooked and "wrong" to my eyes, but I attacked two versions, one that is full width and one that is single screen width. Also I use a free app called "Wallpaper Set Save" to set the wallpaper, as it makes it fit and means you dont have to do that "crop" shenanigans.

Thanks - but those images still didn't quite do what I was hoping for. I'm looking to have the headphones only on the main home screen. I thought adding black bars to the side would take care of that, but didn't seem to make much of a difference. I'll fool around with the app.
Hello everyone.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S9 and when I try to screen mirroring the phone to a 16:9 tv, using a HDMI cable or through wifi using Chromecast, I have black bars on the top and on the bottom of the 16:9 screen since the screen aspect ratio of the phone is 18:5,9.
If I use the Smart View feature of phone to do screen mirroring, the app has a floating button where I can change settings of phone to customize the mirroring, including change aspect ratio of the phone screen to 16:9 to best fit on the TV screen without black bars.
See images attached. Only in Portuguese Brasil (sorry).
My phone is not rooted so I think it is possible to develop an App that changes aspect ratio of phone without root (at least on Samsung devices).
To help developing, I extracted Samsung Smart View apk of my phone to help on knowledge of the function used to change aspect ratio included in App.

Hi, ive got a 10.5 with the lastest standard firmware and have just been using it for screen mirroring on my Samsung tv to stream some sport.
As the Tab S is 16:9 I was expecting it to fill my TV screen nicely, however there are black bars all round, top, bottom and sides. It looks like it needs zooming in slightly to fill the screen but didnt think i would need to do that?

This must be the media or player you're using as it doesn't happen with my Tab S.
I take it you're referring to MHL?
It's not something I use often anyway as it's far better to cast than mirror.
Having said that if you have root, screen shift can fix it.
Maybe ill try casting, if i just screen share my tablet home screen, the top and bottom fit fine but theres black bars each side still
