I find that the screen is too tall and any time I "pinch to zoom" on a video the top and bottom of the video is cut too much.
So is there any method to "pinch to zoom" but not the entire screen?

I may have gotten this one wrong, but AFAIK the "buttons" we have below the screen are just a part of the screen's extended touch-sensitive layer. This should also be true for Diamond2's/Touch Pro2's zoom bar. Which brings me to the main question.
Is it possible to simulate the zoom bar of HTC's new PDA generation on the HD's hard buttons area? Can we create such a module/program/whatever that would let us use the zoom bar by swiping a finger on the area below the screen?
Call -> End call
Zoom in
End call -> Call
Zoom out
that sounds quite interesting. maybe theres already something possible with some modification in apps like sensor scroll e.g
Well, this could theoretically replace one of the axes of the missing D-pad (probably the x-axis).
Yes, It's possible.

I'm already start the development and finish about 60% already.
I will upload the zoom bar on hd movie later.
I am trying to crop my photos but it does not give me the possibility to adjust the size of the crop. Only a square that I can move around.
Anyone else having same problem?
Seems you really have to hit the thin lines to be able to pull it.... would have been nice if it would have been a two-finger gesture inside the square. Or can apple patent that one? anyways...
Touch the edge of the square and you will see arrows appear, these allow you to set the cropping area
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.
I noticed today the drawback of expanding the YT image to the entire screen (gesture with two fingers).Well, horizontally widening results in vertical truncation
it is perfectly visible on such material, where at the bottom or top of the movie there are data, subtitles, eg here: https://youtu.be/M9sd3spUo_g

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
That’s normal on all non 16:9 devices playing 16:9 material.
The video gets just zoomed in. If you would align it to fill up the screen without loosing anything the video gets distorted.
Only a 18:9 video will work without cutting anything of and showing no black borders.
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
