I will be using my phone as a desktop computer. I will connect it to a monitor but my monitor just like most monitors have a 16 by 9 aspect ratio. Now when I mirror my phone, it creates a black bars on top and bottom because the phone aspect ratio is wider. I want to change phone aspect ratio to 16 by 9 too. Anyway to do this? By the way, I'm using Andromium's Sentio Desktop app to change my UI to a desktop appropriate one so it looks good on the big monitor. If you guys have a better idea on turning my phone to desktop, please share too. Thanks in advance!

I have an image I wish to use as a wallpaper background on my home screen.
I have cropped the image in photoshop to the exact screen size, I have successfully blue-toothed it from my mac to my Hero, when I go to set it as my background it only takes a section of it and not the whole image itself.
When looking at the standard wallpapers they are all landscape and selecting one also only takes the middle section to use.
Any ideas?
Whenever I have set my own picture as a Home wallpaper, the Hero shows a green cropping rectangle that sets the correct aspect ratio.
Do you not get this ? If so make sure the green box is resized correctly to display your image.
Also... in case I read you wrong... the wallpaper covers all 7 Home screen's and is not supposed to be enclosed in just one. ie you will see a section of it and this will move slightly as you swipe between Home's.
BTW, what did you use to Bluetooth the file from your Mac ? My Mac won't see it in Bluetooth File Exchange.
Of course forgot that it was one giant screen...
Just using the regular built in bluetooth, (have a dual 2.8 imac, OSX 10.6 snow leopard)
On another note - do you know what size the image would have to be made to fit the entire 7 screens (pixels or mm)
Snow Leopard How's that going ??
Maybe 10.6 adds more functionality ?
Did you just pair it with Bluetooth setup ? I did try that but it failed to find any services.
I believe its 640 x 480 or any other size to that aspect ratio.
Snow Leopard is the mutts..... Little bit quicker and I gained approx 15gb on my HD (not really noticeable when you have 1tb internal and 1tb external though )
Various little tweaks and a few old things improved.
Could well be that Snow Leopard has improved functionality, I know my friend had probs running OSX 10.5 and it wasn't seeing his Hero but mine is fine
Sounds good... being ex-Apple its great when the company do things right
mrdavie, I've just installed 10.6 (finally arrived this morning), but the Hero is still not seen as having the necessary services for file transfer - how are you doing it ??
What is the exact screen size I should use while developing apps for Prime ?
Declared screen resolution isn't correct, because I used that and tested and its not showing in full size as it should, so it must be some other screen size.
Don't know, but would it work to take a screen shot and mail yourself the photo?
I had the same trouble with my hubs screens. Beautiful Photoshop stuff, but when they display at the original (advertised) size, they have a few pixels missing at either end.
I've used 1280x800px, but width of 1280 won't go to their ends and height seems to be shorter, because I see font degradation and rest of the objects, but its best visible on fonts (at least in my case.)
I'll have to explore tomorrow with different sizes... although I don't like these testing where I have to do whoknows how much of them to find exact dimensions.
The system bar take 48 pixels. So the actual resolution that's is available is 1280x752
If you going to create a app. I why don't look at android developer section for guide and info.. Just a suggestion...

Both of your links don't mention 752px, there is 720.
Anyways I don't use Android SDK or any other of their info. I use Adobe Flash and do it all from there. Very easy and no need for lots of reading
Occasionally an app displays content in the wrong aspect ratio. For instance, the SuperFilm.pl app stretches movies to fit the screen regardless of the movie's original aspect ratios and the Little Big Adventure port stretches the 4:3 video of the original game to whatever your device screen is.
XAspect lets you force a particular aspect setting for an app. A number of common aspect ratios are included, and one can also set a custom one.
This is beta test quality software, so use at your own risk.

I just posted an update with custom aspect ratio support.
Works great. Fixes ScummVm. Thanks for putting in the work.
Glad to hear it! I suspect some developers think it's more important to fill the screen than to preserve aspect ratio, and that's why my module was needed.
The scummvm docs say there is an option to preserve adjust ratio.
Nice module!!

I tried to use it on games and now I can run games faster but it's not fullscreen the status bar keep showing up.
can this mod make the opossite?I cast movies to my smart tv and most movies show on my tv with really big gap upside and downside the screen.
Our nexus has a very annoying aspect ratio, most of the YouTube videos won't just fit for full screen.
Is there any way we could make these videos fit on full screen!?
Change YouTube app's aspect ratio, or any other app which can play online YouTube videos, where we can make it fit on full screen I.e. with 4:3 aspect ratio???

I'm sure there are ways to do this, but it would result in cropping out and stretching parts of the video. It would be very unpleasant to watch.
I just got a Nexus 9 myself, and this has been my primary complaint so far. I also have an Ipad mini, so I am used to the 4:3 form factor. What's nice about Ipad is that in my video apps, there is an option to autocrop to full screen. I wish we had that on the N9 as well. For the majority of videos, it isn't that "unpleasant" at all, actually.

This app let's you adjust your screen resolution so fullscreen videos fill the entire screen. (Requires Root)

You're right. Second Screen only works when you project your screen onto a TV (miracast). I ended up using Dolphin Browser and MXPlayer. When you watch a video in Dolphin and click the Fullscreen box on the video, the fullscreen window has a 3dot menu in the upper right. When you click that, you get the choice to select a different video player. Select MXPlayer (installed separately) and the video will play in MXPlayer, which has controls for scaling the video. Set it to Fit Vertically, and it will fill the screen. Not an ideal solution, but it works.
When widescreen tvs were new (I'm that old) it irritated me to see people, mainly older people, watching 4:3 ratio programmes 'stretched' to fit. Watch stuff as it is intended to be seen!
If you have a nexus 7 it's a perfect size for widescreen. Okay, so older 4:3 ratio stuff will be a bit small. But think of the poor iPad users who paid four times the price for a larger 4:3 ratio screen just so they can watch widescreen material letterboxed at the same size as a nexus 7.
And dont get me started on people who video on their phones vertically...
Hello,
I have a minor annoyance with my monitor on Remix Os for pc. I have searched but could not find anything for fixing this.
My native aspect ratio for my monitor is 5:4 but it supports 16:9 (on all resolutions except one which is 5:4 native unfortunately)
When I change the resolution on remix I get a HUGE letterbox effect where the picture is merely a race stripe down the middle. The native aspect ratio warps images just enough to bother me. I would love to fix this because it is a multitouch monitor. On Windows and Linux I have the option to select out of a list my monitor supports. (1280x1024 5:4, 1920x1080 16:9) On Android/remix I manually input them but I can't find anywhere to change the aspect ratio. Would anyone know how to change this?
Any help would be appreciated
