Right now, when you connect the Galaxy S III to a TV, it'll display the video in whatever orientation the S3 is currently in. For example, when you hold the phone vertically, it shows up as portrait on the TV (with black spaces on either side), and when the phone is held horizontally, the TV displays landscape video.
Since I have a screen that can rotate, I want to make it so that the video that the Galaxy S III displays will always fill the screen. As in, when the S3 is held vertically, the video it displays fills the whole screen without the black spaces (if you were watching it on a TV, it would appear sideways).
Is this possible? I know that on the iPhone there's an app on Cydia called Landscape TV Out, which always outputs the video in landscape (thus filling the screen). That's what I'm looking for.
If an app is possible but it doesn't exist, I'm willing to pay for one to be made.
To clarify, I've attached two pictures that show what the S3 outputs by default and what I need it to look like in portrait.
I've searched through the GT-i9300 and SGH-i747 source code, but I haven't found anything (maybe I'm not looking for the right thing?)
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Currently, when you connect an external monitor to an Android phone that supports mirroring, the phone makes the assumption that the external monitor is set up in a landscape orientation. Thus, when the phone is held vertically (in this case, the Galaxy S III) in a portrait orientation, the video output on the display is portrait, but centered with black bars on either side. Of course, when the phone is held horizontally, the output fills the external display.
What I'm looking for is a way to force the Galaxy S III to mirror its screen such that when it is held in a portrait orientation, the output will fill the external display. It would have to work across Android - I'm not talking about a specific app in particular, it needs to work consistently across all apps.
The external display would be mounted vertically, so it's essential that the output from the Galaxy S III while in portrait orientation completely fills and has the correct orientation on the external display.
I have a galaxy nexus, and just bought the mhl hdmi adaptor, i've managed to lock the phone on is portrait mode but this rotated the image filling the whole screen. Basically requiring me to turn my head to see properly. Is there any way to rotate the image vertically and have black pillars on the side?
I need this for a presentation of a portrait application.
Hi.
Yes, i have, I9300, i bought multimedia stand for note II and it works like charm. One small problem. Screen resolution of my monitor is 1200x1600, and what resolution S3 has - you know. Is there any way or program that will change screen resolution after connection S3 with monitor to the 1200x1600? It looks not good when S3 give me his native resolution, all blurry and crappy view on the monitor.
Stand has 3x USB, 1xHDMI, 1x3.5jack, and place to connect charger that has 5V 2A. For curious ones i have bought that device here that is Polish shop but pictures you can see there.
Anybody know is there any way to make that phone use 1200x1600 screen resolution after connection to that base?
Oh, one more question, that base make phone to use landscape mode, but when i use skype, or camera, it works in normal mode, and screen is blinking till my camera is running. When i turn my camera off - phone is using FULL SCREEN MODE!! The same situation is in youtube app and when i am watching movies. It uses screen resolution that my monitor has.
Anybody can help me with that?
Nope, there's nothing you can do with hdmi resolution -plenty of similar posts but none I've read found a solution. Can't make any sense of your second question.
Oh, sorry, it`s hard to me to translate that straight from polish ok i try again: Camera. For example: When my cellphone is connected to that base, and i`m using skype, when i turn on my front or back camera, person who i talking to view me on side, like 90 degrees to left. Cellphone is forced to use landscape mode on that base and only camera is working normally (neutron music player too ;P )
Another fact that normal screen is not on full screen, on top and bottom there is black stripe - i understand why. And skype, youtube or other movies is using fullscreen mode.
Other soft for s3 supporting that connection to base?
Hey,
So hoping someone can point me in the right direction here,
My use case is the following:
I will be using an android smart TV to feed into a projector. Normally it will be an 80" projection, however when I am watching network TV I would like to reduce the size of the projection to a smaller size (lets say 50").
So to do this I would like to be able to tell the Android TV to only 'draw' the bottom centre of the screen, so for example if the normal projection is 4k I would like to draw a 1080p picture in the bottom middle and have the rest of the picture essentially 'off'. An alternative would be to just send a black image to the rest of the picture but still only have the active part of the screen in the bottom middle.
Is this possible, and if so what should I be looking for?
