low resolution games

Is it possible to have lower resolution/different aspect ratio games be displayed centered on the screen with the remaining screen space left black ?
Default functionality is to place the graphics on the top of the screen with the remaining space underneath displaying whatever it was displaying when first starting the game (lower part of the today screen/calendar/whatever).
Something like nvidias stretch to fit while mainaining aspect ratio (on the pc)

What do you mean with black bars? There are normaly only black bars if the Picture Format doesn´t fit the Display Format. So if you make Pictures in 4:3 or 3:2 you will have black bars left and right and with 16:9 you will have smaller bars up and down. But thats absolutely normal and I don´t know any mod or Gallery app to "fix" it.

no friend, there are some applications such as Gallery Lock that the shots from the tab shows the 16:9 full screen, without black bars. Then I wondered if it was possible to change any of the original Samsung SecGallery2013 script to force full screen. Ok?

[Q] Diagonal stripes/pattern on screen

I've noticed some faint diagonal stripes on my LG G2 (LG-D802). They make a pixel like pattern of stripes, only they are diagonal from upper left to lower right and mostly visible on solid clear colors like red, green or blue. The stripes are very thin and the width of the stripes is comparable/or slightly smaller then the pixel width of my old Samsung Galaxy S2 (>200PPI). In other words, it's not something I see all of the time but it gets noticeable when you look closely. And as I said it is mostly visible on solid colors, and not on text and other edges where pixels normally is visible (not that I think this is the actual pixels I see). One of the easiest ways to see it is to search after "red" on google images and open a red image, but it is also visible in most apps or on the homescreen.
Is this something anyone else has experienced/noticed, or is it it my display that is faulty?
I'm not allowed to post an outside link in my message (new user), but here is a picture if anybody want's to see.
It was not easy to capture this on camera, but the stripes are barely visible in the red of the Google+ icon and in the dark blue of the image icon. For size comparison; I use Nova Launcher with icon size 70% and the Minimal UI icon pack.

Could it be a problem with your screen protector? If not i recommend sending it in for a check..

Thanks for the reply.
I don't have any screen protector on, but the lines does seem to be fixed to the screen. I.e. if I move an object the lines does not stick to the object but "new" lines gets visible, so it can look like it can be something with the glass.
If nobody else has experienced the lines I will definitively send the phone in for service.
I tried the local phone store, but the guy only laughed at me because he did'nt see it. Great service attitude when you make the customers feel stupid

Maybe you are talking about the touch sensors?
All the phones have it and it's more visible on xperia phones.

Maybe, but I think the lines/pattern is to small and dense to be the normal grid that people see. When I turn the screen off I can (barely) see the the digitzer grid, but it is a completely different pattern (horizontal and vertical lines) and the lines are separated by several line widths (some millimeters maybe?). The diagonal lines I see are very close together. It looks like they are only a line width apart from each other.
One other thing I just noticed is that the lines does not rotate when the screen is in landscape mode. They still go from the front-camera corner down to the corner to the right of the LG logo.

Is it nobody with a good sight that can confirm if they see the stripes or not? Would have helped me a lot when proceeding with getting the phone in for service.

[Q] How to Change Screen Size?

I dropped my phone. Now, one strip of the screen (where the address bar in Chrome is) is no longer responsive to my touch.
I've come up with a workaround: using Nomone resolution changer to lower the screen height to avoid the problematic screen parts.
This is not ideal because the app removes screen size from both the top and the bottom, so I waste valuable screen real estate. Is there any app or any way I can adjust the screen height from only the top and not the bottom? Alternatively, feel free to suggest other workarounds

You can change system DPI in build.prop.

18.5:9 Camera aspect ratio and navigation bar

I was wondering if anyone else has noticed that when using the 18.5:9 aspect ratio option in the camera, the navigation bar blocks the bottom part of the photo. This is only apparent​ once you take a photo and have more in the frame than initially shown.
Has anyone worked out how to either hide the navigation bar or at least make it see through when using the camera?
