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.
Hello,
in display settings on Android Oreo there is an option to change display size and i allways have it on "small" but there is a problem with one app that seem not to adjust to this settings and it is impossible to use it because all buttons and text are deformed and they overlay on each other. The problem disappears when i change the display size to "default". So here comes my question: is there any way to keep overall display on small and somehow make it change automatically to default only for this app?
Hi everyone. The problem is this is my first xiaomi and first notched (sadly) phone.
I like to change my display size to minimum. With 490 dpi it look awesome. 588 is better but my keyboard becomes unusable.
Problem is notch is not covered with new dpi settings. I found a forum with solution "navigation bar sizing" however not for rn8pro. Higher dpi cause more notch on screen (it is on hiding setting). Is there a fix for this? Black hiding with complete notch coverage at any dpi setting is the blessing.
For the sake of fun I enabled USB debugging and used adb to change the density of the display window from 420 to 320. Looks great on the large display and the amount of info you see compared to the default value might be interesting to some of you.
> adb shell wm density 320
> adb shell wm density reset ( to restore original value)
I used this trick in the past on many of my devices and it's now a habit.
Let me know if it works well for you..
Why not just change minimum width in developer options?
I use a dpi value of 1200...

Do you know how to change the Preview Picture size ? Like in Whatsapp, instagram / fb they are soooo huuge.
In dpi, bigger the no., smaller the things on screen. So you ha e more stuff to see..
Mine is 1200 so everything is Tiny. I actually have to increase the font size to read everything

I tried 1200 DPI in developer settings which was fine for everything except the lock screen when I unfolded the phone while locked. It cut off the numbers on the left and right side of the keypad for entering my pin to unlock it. I use fingerprint recognition 99.9% of the time.

Yes. That is the only issue I have seen so far. I mostly use face unlock or finger as well.
I would like to just increase the font size on the front screen I've already adjusted the minimum width settings from the insider screen but the outside screen fonts are still to small . I've noticed that when you go in the minimum width settings from the front screen the numbers are different then when u go in from the inside screen and if you try and adjust them from the front outer screen they won't stick they just default to there original numbers ?
My sweet spot is 744dp and Font size in the middle.

I don't have much experience playing with them but they seem to be dynamic changing with other settings first of all the numbers are different when you go in from the inner screen and from the outer front screen
I'd just like to be able to bump up the size on the front screen already got the inside where i like it

Are you saying change the minimum width DP from the front screen?
Coz i don't see any change dp setting option under developer options
Also changing minimum width numbers from the front screen won't stick they just default back to original number for me

I meant the minimum width. Like you said this can't be changed for outer screen.
Maybe you can adjust the font size to fit outer screen, then change the minimum width on inner screen until the font size is comfortable.

Which apps the text too small? I put in middle and text size for most apps are ok for outer screen.
If it is browser you can adjust the browser text size independently

All the front screen font is to small specify to name a few quick setting notification messages and chrome font and txt are way to small for me
I don't think theres a good way to increase the Chrome font size on android like there is on windows all you can do is expand it which not very good
Okay so after a lot of research I found a way to change the size of the status bar. Basically I think that the outter screen's status bar text is too small. The steps I did was :
1- enable developer's option
2- minimum width set to 320dpi
The texts got bigger but not as big as the inner screen (though almlost there). I tried changing to other smaller values but it doesnt make it anh larger.
If I go to "Simulate display with cutout" and and choose "waterfall cutout" it does get as big as the inner screen" but when I put back to "default" then it gets smaller.
Any ideas to make it bigger than the 320dpi setup above ?
Thank you.
