Hi,
Im trying to setup a X96 mini to my liking. I connected it directly to a 24" 16:10 monitor. Im not aiming to play movies or anything like that, but want to display music sheets as pdf via the adobe reader app in 16:10 ratio.
It seems the box always forces a 16:9 ratio, as this is what the monitor is showing (FHD). I was able to change the resolution via a command prompt app. I tried different resolutions like 1920x1200, 1280x800 or even 1920x1080, but anything different then 1280x720 squeezes the image to non-fullscreen. I wouldnt mind a lower resoultion, but atm I have no idea how to output a 16:10 resolution at all.
Any ideas are highly appreciated, thanks!

Is there a way to change the Display output resolution in Android?
I'm not talking about the screen density (DPI). I'm talking about the pixels.
The thing is I own an Acer Iconia A700 FullHD tablet but there is lag, especially on 3D games that forces the native screen resolution of 1920x1200.
So forcing the resolution from 1920x1200 down to 1280x800 would theoretically reduce those lags.
So it works with some games that comes with an option to change the resolution, but most games doesn't have an option, they simply run in 1920x1200 and lag really badly.
Is there a way to change the overall resolution down to 1280x800 ?
I know it MIGHT be possible but there could be a problem because the image has to get upscaled to the native display resolution.
And I don't know if the Tegra 3 comes with an hardware scaler.
So if the resolution gets changed, it might get upscaled and filtered (or not) OR just centered in a smaller image in the middle of the screen.
But either way.. Is it possible? if yes, how?
Thanks in advance.
[Q] Change Smartphone Display Resolution FHD 1080p to 720p via soft?
This is possible?
Currently many smartphones are already FHD, but what if we want to reduce to 720p to improve performance, it is possible via software? something like in windows, or is not possible unless you edit the kernel?
This an interesting topic.
In terminal:

Xposed appsettings to change the resolution for every app
Gesendet von meinem Xperia SP
I have a Sony Xperia Tablet Z (1920x1200). With original 4.1.2 it would correctly scale the picture to 1920x1080 when connected to my TV with MHL/HDMI-adaptor. Since 4.2 and now with 4.3 update it will not change the resolution and displays a squeezed 1920x1200 picture on my TV. So the aspect ratio is corrupt, making wide faces etc. when watching photos or movies.
Sony says that it is Google's fault.
The Xperia Tablet Z has a hidden service menu where I can change the HDMI resolution but it is set as 1920x1080 as standard, and changing this to 720p does not correct the aspect ratio issue.
I have bought the app Screen Settings from Forbitel, and I have also tried other resolution changer apps, since I am rooted and have Busy box installed.
I am able to change resolution to 1920x1080, which displays correctly at my Tablet Z (it leaves 120 pixels unused =black bars at top and bottom) BUT when connected to my TV it will still only display a squeezed 1920x1200 picture on TV screen!
Why has Google removed the scaling from 4.2 when it was working perfect in 4.1.2?
Any information regarding this or ideas how to fix it would be much appriciated! Thanks!
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
