Screen in games! - Nexus 7 (2013) General

When I play games, take Little Galaxy for example, the screen is cut off by the navbar, is this a bug or is it meant to be like that?

Well, without hardware buttons you need on-screen buttons so that you can navigate the tablet.

Well done Einstein..
But I'm talking about some games display the whole picture without being cut off but some don't.

Aiwa means a part of the game content is being cut off without resizing.
I've not faced this issue with any game or app on stock.

Nice app to hide navbar and place left and right bottom corners new buttons for back/home...

I'm not sure about stock rom, but with cm kang, you long press the power button and select "extended desktop" for playing full screen games (or apps) and then long press and deselect it to go back to normal view mode.

I can use Pie but sometimes I like using the navbar.

Some questions before getting Nexus 7

Hi, I'm getting Nexus 7 on Christmas, and I would like to ask some questions.
How's tablet mode with this tablet?
Any defects which are popular?
Are any game lagging? (I will play a lot I think)
If your on 4.1.2 you can change it to tablet mode or with a custom ROM. Mine has minor screen lift. Don't mind since I have accidental. And gaming is awesome!

I think I'll run PA, I had it on my One X and it was awesome. Thanks for the answer! :laugh:
There are many people having defects.. but you exchange it untill you get a perfect one LOL
About tablet mode, I just tried it and I don't know which one I like most... I highly reccomend you to hide navigation screens and top bar, so you can get use of your screen at 100% and with gmd gestures you can go back forward recent applications move directly to homescreen etc...

N4 resolution discrepancy!

Hey,
So my phone is a 303k and has a resolution of 768x1184 as opposed to the advertised 768x1280. This is extremely weird!
What are your guys resolutions?
Here's an app to check your resolution

Thanks for looking!

768X1212... 301k version, ordered 3 days ago

Its because of the Virtual keys I believe.
Sent from my Nexus 4
It is 768x1280, but apps only have 768x1184 available to them because the on screen buttons take up some real estate.
The same as you

also chrome reports the wrong results when using what is my resolution
Definitely the navbar. Expanded desktop shows 768x1280.

Am I the only one who sees obvious pixelation in some widgets? The analog clock for instance doesn't seem to be in HD as some of other stock google widgets, I really hope they upgrade this
DUDE stop posting everywhere your phone is FINE its cause the nav bar
Guys!!! Its not the nave bar! Its the chrome browser or the app. Check the difference between chrom and aosp browser. I'll put pictures.

I actually notice a lot of pixelation. That was primarily my main concern of checking the resolution

It's from the Nav bar eating up pixels.

If you use PIE you can regain those pixels or you can even shrink it on certain ROMs.

Whoops, accidentally thanked your post. That was a complete mistake. What exactly is the problem here? Are you saying that you think your screen is not 1280x768, or is the text all pixelated? Because you just seem to be complaining about numbers on the screen, while you're having no actual problems with using the browser. Could you specify your exact problem, other than the fact that the numbers are off?

He's complaining about both I think. Because he thinks the screen is defective, he's starting to notice micro-imperfections, and attributing them to a messed up display. The display does have the full resolution advertised, which you're able to fully utilize in apps that support fullscreen mode, like some video applications. The nav bar is just part of the package, but there's no real dishonesty in the advertising or anything.
The reason you have the difference between Chrome and stock Android browser is because Chrome has a pseudo-fullscreen mode now that hides the address bar automatically.
Don't worry man. Your screen is just fine. Be happy that you have a Nexus 4. It's quite an extraordinary smartphone.
My IQ dropped 40 points after I read the OP.

Pixel Density

Thought you guys might like this picture I took, the pixel density on the Nexus 7 is crazy!
(picture attached)
Yeah it's impressive.
I see you are using the "Reddit Is Fun" app. You should try out "Flow"; it's much nicer.
Where did you get the theme for the icons? (like the square Chrome app icon) Pixel density looks awesome.

Is this possible? Nav buttons in notifications tray?

I've seen the apps and edits to remove or replace the navigate buttons (home, back, recent apps) or even move them to the side... But what about moving them entirely to the notifications tray? Is this a bad idea?
For the videos and apps that remove the tray, there could be a hot corner or gesture to bring it back up. Should I have patented this idea before posting?

That's called tablet ui.

Tablet UI would bring it to the statusbar. Not the notification area.
To the OP: this would be bad for accessibility. Imagine using an app that requires you to double press back to exit. You would neet to pull down the notification area twice... just to close an app.

Fullscreen app gives you two hot corners, replacing the back/home, but I found I kept accidently hitting the corners within other apps or surfing, no matter whether I put them top or bottom. I ended up using Pie Control app, customised with Nav buttons to solve the problem. LOVE the huge screen via fullscreen.

Wow sorry for my late reply everybody. Thank you for you feedback. I haven't looked at tablet ui but I will. I have installed GMDs auto hide nag buttons. I like it. Sometimes. One thing I do not like is that the menu button for apps like Chrome are automatically moved to the navbar. I know I can turn it off but the menu button is just gone. Not a huge deal but I also don't like how it is sometimes less responsive than the stock navbar. Either way, I'm still shopping.

You should try AOKP rom which you can toggle phablet and tablet UI, I've been using this feature since 4.1.
As for in app menu button, there is in option called "Show menu UI overflow" in the rom to enable it.

[MOD] 8-BIT and Super Smash Bros. SOUNDPACK (updated 11-1-14)

UPDATE 10/2014
Hi All, I was asked to share my 8 bit sound pack with you all. I always enjoyed the simplistic 5 channel sounds of the Nintendo Entertainment System (80's Baby) and since I have 8bit icons, wallpaper, etc I wanted matching sounds. Any comments are welcome the aren't perfect for everyone. If you have an idea for a better sound for a specific action or other ringtones or notifications, I am all ears.
Included in this .zip are all ui sounds, ringtones, notifications, and alarms.
Warning this .zip DOES replace your ui sounds, but DOES NOT erase your notification or ringtones simply adds some 8bit ones.
I used this mod with my nexus 4 and been using it forever with aosp based rom (RASTAKAT/L Preview) on my Nexus 5. I am only posting now because the forum is quite quiet lately. If anyone would like to take my little mod and use it in their work just give credit where credit is do.
All the zips are in one folder please ensure that you select the right one for your phone.......
8-Bit Sounds Android Lollipop Version --Now also for JellyBean>> >>
https://www.dropbox.com/s/vnyoepqxvp52xje/8Bit_L_ver_SOUNDPACK _10_22_2014.zip?dl=0

Sup everybody, I just completed the SSB soundpack and I was wondering if anyone would like to give it a try and give me some feedback.
So the pack is inundated with SSB sounds from the UI to the alarms, and when you get a call the crowd cheers for your main SSB character.
If you like SSB Melee, PM, or SSB4 this might be for you.
Feedback is really appreciated.
--quick notes-- works with Lollipop or Jellybean. revert is now in main post^^. revert works for Lollipop or JellyBean.
