I'm working with android_7 S905x-based STB and I lack screen resolution settings.
This should be something like https://wondersign.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/article_attachments/200499349/Screen_Menu_1_Screen.jpg
Some ROMs have this in Settings menu, so I assume it's just a package in AOSP tree that provides Screen settings.
Does anybody know what is the package name so I could include it into my build?

I'd really like to give Themer a go but it doesn't seem to support Xperia Z1 out of the box. I believe the problem is to do with the Softkeys, Themer assumes that the resolution is not compatible. The screen however is capable of 1920x1080 and I've got a custom ROM which allows me to switch off the Softkeys.
The problem is that Themer doesn't see this reflected on the resolution and still says that the resolution is not supported... Is there any way to bypass the validation and just allow me to try 1920x1080 themes?

Hi,
Unfortunately for now Themer only supports default settings. You could always try modifying your resolution to that of another phone, but we can't guarantee that this will work.
Hey there,
Cocktail Flow is probably the one and only good looking cocktail app for tablets out there. However, its developer really hardcoded the resolution to 1280x720 which means it cannot be used on any newer tablet (like a Nexus 7, see screenshot). And since the developer abandoned the project, this app is probably gone forever.
Is there are way to reduce the resolution of tablets (or faking a lower one) such that the app is stretched and can be used again?
I've already tried Xposed + App Settings, but changing the DPI doesn't help, since the developer is not using dp...
DPI Settings for ASUS ZenFone 3 Ultra [Android 7.0/Nougat]
Hello everyone. Following the release of the latest Android 7.0 Firmware update [WW-14.1010.1703.42] for the ZF3Ultra which I have now installed on my 2nd ZF3U (1st one died following the initial faulty firmware which ASUS withdrew from release), I went ahead to find out once again (as I did with my previous Huawei P8 Max) the optimum DPI scaling for enabling Tablet Mode and wanted to share my findings with you. As always, use the following ADB commands to achieve the desired change [Remove brackets and simply replace the below number with your desired DPI and use the second code if you want to revert to your default factory DPI.] With Android 7.0 you can also scale the DPI using the Display option in setting but this will only change the dpi within the parameters that ASUS has specified and this will not enable full tablet mode. However, if you want to practice the dpi scaling on the go without any adb code then there is good news for Android 7.0 users. Under device settings-go to About-Software Information-tap on Build Number multiple times until the message pops up stating that your are now a developer, then go back to the main list of options and click on Developer options-then go all the way down on the list of developer options to heading Drawing-under that heading you will find Smallest width-click on it and change the number to 795 and this will give you the equivalent dpi of 217. OR if you want to try different DPIs then you can change the number accordingly. The higher the number, the smaller the UI objects will be, the lower the number, the bigger the UI objects will be.
Rest assured I have tried all the possible DPI settings and depending on your taste and desired experience, the following DPI scale of 217 is the only one worth trying UNLESS you don't like the Tablet Mode, in which case don't try practicing any of the settings below or if you want objects bigger then simply increase the DPI until you are happy with your DPI scaling to make objects larger.
adb shell wm density [217] && adb reboot
adb shell wm density reset && adb reboot
Observations:
DPI 217: (You can also find my findings on Android 6.0 DPI scaling for the ZF3U on my related post in the forum. In that post you will find details of my findings on additional dpi scales)
-The scale number of 217 will enable FULL Tablet mode on the ZF3U,
-All Tablet Mode compatible apps will be fully operational,
-Dual Sim Functionality will be fully operational (This did not work on Android 6.0 scaling),
-Google has removed the Tablet Mode side menu inside device options so no matter which dpi you use, the side menu is no longer there (It was available in Android 6.0) -I wish Google could bring back all the precious Tablet mode options previously available and even better would be to bring all the tablet UI features of the well respected Paranoid Android ROM (i.e bottom status bar, status bar pop-up options like Windows etc.... those of use who have been using it back in the days know what I am talking about),
-DISADVANTAGE: Stock Camera functionality is lost and the image does not display properly so if you love the dpi and can do without stock camera functionality then stick to this dpi and install a camera app of your choice (I am using Camera MX)-If anyone finds a fix to keep the stock camera operational at dpi scale of 217 without any issues then please do share your workaround.
Enjoy!
Thanks for this awesome tips! Im using Zenfone 3 ultra too and l been finding way to take full advantage of this screen size. This really helps a lot! ?
actually the dial pad, contacts and alarm dont work well with those settings. adjust to 540 or 579 smallest width.
Okay.
I really enjoy recent 8.1.0 treble roms on vince.
(thank you! devs!)
but there is one thing that I really hate that, some of apps on store that doesn't support 18:9 display.
MIUI has forced full screen options, but AOSP based(or LOS based) Rom seems doesn't have it.
Is there any way to make it to full screen?
(Not hide Nav bar or such a thing, I need to make it to 18:9 like MIUI does)
AOSP O doesn't have any options for optimize fullscreen apps on 18:9 screens yet. On further AOSP versions (starting with P) we can expect this kind of options
All AOSP-based 8.1 ROMs that I tried offered a forced fullscreen option. Just look for it in the settings. (On OmniROM it's found in the OmniGears settings menu, on others I don't know by heart. But it is there, somewhere.)
Resurrection remix has an option for that but it's not per app like in miui, it's for all apps.
