Has anyone had any success with mod'ing Desktop mode with the Android 10 update? I realize Desktop mode is very basic and is nowhere comparable to Samsung Dex, i am wondering if there is a way to mod or add any features to Desktop mode? I have a Ultrawide monitor than i cannot get a decent resolution beyond 16:9. 21:9 does work but the screen is stretched out and i know that the phone will not reach the 2560x1440 res of my monitor, but i am trying to max out the screen as much as i can and add some functionality to Desktop mode. I read about a solution to change the DPI of Desktop mode on other phones with Android 10, but i dont want to mess up any functionality of the dual screen by doing so?
Install Lg velvet home apk
Also second screen
And taskbar
Lg wing touchpad apk

Installed Velvet Home..I heard that if you give write permissions to Second Screen and change the res, it stops the dual screen from working..and the LG Wing touchpad does not work on the G8X.. i installed the APK, used a Activity Launcher to run the app, but the touchpad does not control anything in desktop mode, again i am wondering if something about the dual screen messes with it working.

Hi,
Several apps I have tried (maybe ~10% of them) only have portrait mode. This is a problem if you have a TV you can't rotate.
I wonder if anyone has any ideas of how to write, say, a background service that detects if it's displaying in portrait mode, and then shrinks the screen view and flips it 90degrees (so essentially you have a portrait screen that is now the correct way up, with black screen on either side). You can't tell it to display in true landscape because that's hard-coded into the app, so it is better to just rotate the portrait display. However this is a hard thing to do as the screen display is very low-level... but does anyone have any ideas of how to accomplish that?
I've done some searching, but of course Android has never really faced this problem before. Android has either been on a rotatable mobile device, or it's been on a GoogleTV where everything is landscape...
If so, that would open up more apps for Q-compatibility...
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?
Hi,
I'm trying to screen cast from a Nexus 4 to a large screen TV (using a PTV3000). I want to put the TV in portrait mode and have the screen case occupy the entire screen, however I don't seem to find a way to accomplish this. When the phone's orientation is vertical (portrait) it assumes the TV is in landscape orientation and the phone screen is displayed small in the middle of the TV with black space on the sides.
After doing some searching it seems that this behavior can only be changed with a custom ROM, however I haven't been able to pinpoint where in the AOSP tree this behavior can be changed. Any suggestions are much appreciated.
Thanks!

Did you ever get the full screen to work?
hello everyone,
I'm having a problem with the rotation of my android device and I was hoping if anyone could help me with this.
to give some backstory, I'm trying to create a magic mirror using a MK809 III B Quad-Core android stick, which uses android 4.4.2
the stick is used with a computer monitor (Samsung Syncmaster 205BW), but the monitor will be used vertically. (I'm using a HDMI>DVI-D adapter to connect the two)
because of this, I need to have the screen rotated 90 degrees in portrait mode, and android does allow you to change the rotation of the screen, but it doesn't do it well.
normally the rotation is set to landscape, but you've the option of setting the rotation of the screen, but if I set the rotation to 90 degrees, rather than actually rotating the screen with 90 degrees, it rather pushes a vertical screen in landscape mode, thus cutting off half of the screen.
so far I've tried apps such as Ultimate Rotation Control, but those do not actually rotate the screen, rather they just lock the rotation.
my question now is if anyone can help me with this problem, or tell me if it's even possible to do the thing I'm trying to do.
Any Luck?
I'm having the exact same problem with APQ8084 SOM running android 5.0.2 outputting to HDMI monitor (no accelerometer).
You would think this would be an easy problem to solve.
If I put my Winodws 10 Monitor in portrait mode, it correctly rotates screen 90 degrees end of story.
As Yusunoha mentioned, changing the user rotation in Android (via several methods):
1. using the "settings put system user_rotation 0/1/2/3"
2. modifying PhoneWindowManager.java to always return preferred rotation as "portrait"
3. Setting "persist.panel.orientation=90/270"
Does NOT result in screen rotating 90 degrees.
Instead I get a compressed portrait mode stuck inside my landscape orientation.
It's almost as if the accelerometer (which I don't have) is telling the OS to always orient towards it's perceived gravity.
Any tips rotating the entire Android Display experience (not on a per APK basis) would be wonderful.
Anyone have any ideas?

Found any solution? Even with my rooted device and these settings it won't work. Also using usb c > hdmi > vga.
I have been searching for quite a while but have not come across any app or mod that splits the home screen and normal apps (basically universal SBS split across the full ROM) to use it in Cardboard or other VR boxes.
Most VR apps that I have seen are made for a specific purposes. 3D SBS or big screen video player, panoramic photo viewer, VR games and so forth. None of the apps lets us split the home screen, normal apps, etc to use the whole phone in big screen mode.
There is TaoVisor 3D App Launcher. But it is not an SBS screen splitter.
It is cumbersome to take the phone off of the VR box just to press a button or change app and reinsert the phone into the box everytime. We do not need a 3D OS, just the ability to control the whole of the phone's functioning without taking off the phone from the VR box or without the need to pair a bluetooth controller.
If some developer would be kind enough​ to develop such an app, I have some ideas which I would like to discuss.
If there are such an apps, please point me to it. Let us discuss whats and hows about such apps and request their developers to change and/or integrate features that are needed..
I have a rooted Xiaomi MI 5 running on Androind N, if that helps.

Please some one go through a lenovo note 56or 8 and figure out how they did it. There native SBS is pretty spot on tho DRM stuff like vudu didn't work on my note 5
