I am looking to use an Oppo SmartWatch in a Head-Up Display mode, basically reflect the watch off a semi-mirrored glass. Is there a way to flip the display vertically on a WearOS?

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.
Hey guys,
I've been working on a small projector using a high aperture camera lens in small box (painted matte black internally) and have tried various mirrors and magnifying glasses to reverse the mirrored effect that is projected. With a mirror the image is inverted back to normal but has some flaws. Without the mirror the image comes backwards. I have found apps to reverse landscape mode so the image projected is upright, but the image is still inverted (text is backwards).
I've mounted a box with the lens on a tripod and I can place the device inside, adjust it to the preferred size and adjust the lens focus till the image becomes clear. The projection is only visible in low light/unlit rooms with even full brightness. I'll share what I've done at some point as soon as the project is complete, I've found it extremely useful already for watching videos on the walls and ceiling, though my main goal is to use it to project images onto a canvas to be traced and painted over. Rather then spend $100+ on a projector, I figured I'd save the money and use what I have available.
I've searched endlessly for a solution. Mirrors and/or additional lenses cause too much light loss and quality distortion. The ideal solution would be to invert the reversed landscape so the projection appears in full brightness, quality and allows the projection to appear "normal"... Through remote access the device could be controlled without removing it from the projector housing.
For static image projection I could manually flip the image, but I'd like to have the entire display flipped for full functionality of all apps, games, movies, etc...
So far I've managed to get a crisp display projected at about 40 inches although the color is slightly desaturated.
Perhaps this isn't something that an app can solve but maybe a custom kernel could.
If somebody were to make an app that did this, I'm sure it would be marketable.
Any suggestions or help with this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,

Hi, I haven't been able to find any information on this:
I have the clear view stand case, but I would like the screen info to flip when I flip the phone.
For example... Listening to music using the headphone jack, if you set the phone on a stand, you are forced to have the phone standing upside down..
Without the case, I have been able to accomplish this via some tasker profiles and another app. But I think it just might be impossible to control this.
I found the samsung intent that can be used to track if the case is closed, and using tasker I can differentiate screen off vs screen off + case closed.
Also you can use counters and such to try to determine when the screen is "on" (with the case closed) . but even though I think I have those situations figured out, I don't think you can force that screen to rotate to reverse portrait.
Has anyone here tried such things?
Yes I have done that before on older phones using set orientation app from the App Store. However it does not work for reverse portrait on the S8. I am in the same situation and I just use my cup holder but again I want to put the phone upside down in portrait and have the screen change appropriately. That app work fine on all other phones I have had but it does not work on the Galaxy S8
I started by apologizing to all of you, I searched the forum but could not find it.
I'm using a verge watch, and when I flip my wrist, I want it to open at high resolution as if it were double-clicked. Is there a way?
It is what happens by default on Verge, if it is not happening then probably you are using a custom watchface with no support to 26w mode (hires).
Hello
I was just wondering if anyone could help me, I owned an amazfit pace a while ago and when it went to sleep mode, it switched back to a quite low resolution mode. Does this still happen with the stratos 3?
yes, same display
This is not a change in resolution, but a restriction of the color palette to 8. Resolution always remains the same - 320x320

Can this be anyhow prevented?
Eg. to leave the full resolution/color while in standby?
AmazMod has features to disable screen lock. But the screen in active mode eats up a lot of battery, so the watch will probably stop working after one day.
I've got the Stratos and it is the same. For me however the biggest complaint is that when I raise the watch to face it lights up, but the quality is still poor. Full quality kicks in once I press the upper button to unlock it... Essentially, for me device is locked in 8bit mode every time I look at it and more complex watch faces look really bad.
Is there a way to enable full quality on raise? Would this be equal to unlock on raise? If so, is there a way to enable it?
This is the 8 color == 4 bit mode.
Choose a watch face that looks good in both modes
For example mine

Indeed, based on the Internet it is infact just 8 colors,looks like more on the screen.
Well, there are some watch faces that do not look much different in the low quality mode, however that will have pretty basic look, this is all far, far from what smartwatches with AMOLED screens can do.
A smartwatch with an OLED screen will not show you even the 8 colors that Stratos gives, but only a black spot. Those with AoD can display some simple 2-3 color dials with a minimal amount of data. Most often, even without steps. So they are far behind the Stratos.
