[Q] Resolution Compatible Apps and Games - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I just got an Android Tablet with 1024 x 768 resolution... I tried installing my current games and apps for my HTC phone (480 x 320 ) ... and I thought it would somehow adjust to my screen resolution of the tablet !
Although some apps from the Market supports both my lower res phone and higher res Tablet... So how can i check which games/ apps will support the higher resolution tablet? Is there something specific you need to check before downloading or trying out new games?
I saw a bunch of acronyms Games HD... does this HD mean its' meant for tablet or higher res? Sorry i tried googling and i couldnt find my answer..
Thanks

All apps you browse through on the market (while on your tablet) should be compatible. Many times when an app says HD, it means tablets are supported but not always. Also, in the description of an app, it would usually say if it's compatible with tablets.

Would it be possible to turn the Archos 70 into a 1080p MediaPlayer? [Linux?]

Hey Guys.
I thought about the following:
Would it be possible, to turn the Archos Gen8 Devices into 1080p Multimedia Players?
I don't mean to overclock the device to make it work.
Im talking about conventional MediaPlayers like the "Western Digital TV Live".
The Archos hast way more power and is just able to play 720p - 1GHz should be way enouth to play a 1080p movie - the Western Digital TV" hasn't got 1GHz at all.
Would it be possible to use a custom Linux which is just programmed to play Media?
I mean that the 1GHz Processor is JUST used to play media and nothing else like Android-OS and stuff?
I hope you understand what i mean, like booting into "SDE" and boot "MediaPlayer Linux" instead of Android OS which just allows you to play media and make 1080p finally work

gomork booted ubuntu netbook remix on his a101 it is far from usable from a day to day basis
i think it would be difficult to get hardware accelleration for smooth media playback (let alone 1080p)
is it undoable ?perhaps not...... but you would need a lot of development time and a lot of know how to pull it off....
this at least gets some support....

the A70H CPU running at 1GHz is nowhere near playing 1080p content. the DSP and HW accelerators can play 720p but not more.
so the answer is a plain: no

[Q] HDMI Out Resolution

Is there a way to set the resolution of the HDMI? I am trying to connect to a 24 inch monitor and it's running at 1280x800 (native resolution I assume). Is there a way I can tell it to run at 1080p?
I tried mine thru my TV last night for the time. I could only get my tv to register it at 720p. I also am wondering if anybody else noticed a tiny delay from touchpad screen to tv. It's enough for me so that I can't play games properly. I thought I had read that people were playing games no problem though.... anybodies experience would be greatly appreciated.

Sure, play 1080p content. There's no magic upscale to 1080 for lower resolution content, including the OS.
That makes sense.
Is there a way to program an app to specify it has 1080p content? My goal is for me to be able to RDP (using iTap at the moment) into a server of mine and have that displayed with 1080p resolution.

I use 2x client to connect w my home computer and the high res of nexus 10 is great as there are no downscaling by the desktop. Also a lot of apps are now starting to take advantage of the native high res display so it is good.

Yes you can, I connect to my office server at 2560x1504. This is the correct resolution not x1600 as you need to minus out top and bottom pixel.
It does render it at 2560*1600 on my U3011 screen when using TeamViewer, so it's using it alright.
Status/navbar takes up some space though unless you go into fullscreen.

Upscaled? Only videos and pictures are upscaled if they don't have a high resolution version (speciall websiteS). Everything else is rendered beautifully at HiDPI or rendered at its original dpi. (small fonts)
And most everything upscales very nicely.. What's funny is some of the most well funded apps are the absolute worst at up-scaling.
I'm looking at you Zuckerberg.. Get this Facebook apps crap together. It looks like I installed Compuserve on my tablet when I use your app.

Can't change webtop resolution...

I was looking for solutions many times on this forum, google...
When I connect phone to LCD TV, I can not change resolution in Settings/Display/Resolution, because item "Resolution" is grayed, is not active. I don't need FHD resolution, because my TV is only HD ready. But when I connect phone to TV, resolution is terrible.
I have this problem on ICS, but I was hoping when I update my RAZR to Jelly Bean..., but nothing has changed. Please anyone help me.
Sorry for may ENG

Google Assistant on screen resolution less than 720p

Google has rolled out Assistant support for tablet devices with the latest update. However there are certain RAM(>1.5 gb) and screen resolution (> 720p) constraints for enabling it.
Has anyone been able to run the assistant with lower screen resolutions ?I have a 1024x600 resolution device. I have been able to change the resolution with adb shell wm size to 1024x720 when connected to the device shell over wifi. This however, reduces the width of the screen and squeezes everything up even though Google Assistant starts working magically.
There must be a way to bypass the screen resolution check (WITH ROOT) or just fake it without actually changing the display . Have heard about Assistant Enabler on XPOSED but I'm scared I might brick my device with that unless someone has tested it already on it. Is there a better way ?
PS: Device is a Joying car entertainment unit (Intel Sofia) on android 6.0.1 .
Screen resolution 1228x720 seems to work good enough. I also changed the font size to huge
Google assistant on low res devices
Hi I'm Paul,
I AM DISABLED IN A WHEEL CHAIR I did have this running on a z80 full lollipop android watch and it worked great, for a whole year then the low res issue was installed on updates. This no longer works so I am also looking for a solution, for my new q1 pro watch running marshmallow.
please let me know how you resolve this if you can thank you, as I am wheel chair bound and the assistant on my wrist watch was invaluable.
Kind regards
Paul.
