Is there a way to crop the resolution to remove the side edges? Either system wide or on a per app basis. The reason being some apps look distorted, especially those that render text all the way to edges of the screen.
This is why I hate the F'N curved screen. Just give me a godamn flat screen.

I have a strange issue. I recently acquired a Nexus 7 in white. When I scroll, the whole image bends though. It looks like the bottom of the screen reaches the end of the animation first, followed by the top. It happens everywhere: Homescreen, Play magazines, Plume columns, etc. Instead of the entire screen moving at once, it bends into a slightly diagonal image. Anyone else have this issue? Will a custom ROM fix it? It's 100% stock unrooted.
I noticed while browsing on web in landscape mode, the screen is discolored where the home buttons always are.
Can you all do me favor and open this page on your phone? Tilt it to the side and let me know if you have discoloring too.

It's an even bigger difference if I turn the screen brightness down on my phone
You got a screen burn-in (physical). Better hide your virtual keys and use something like PIE to avoid more serious burns in the future.

This is present on my phone, too; the softkey area always looks bluish-white while browsing webpages, while the rest of the screen appears to have a reddish/yellowish tint.
In truth, though, this isn't exactly burn-in. OLED displays simply don't turn on pixels when "black" is the called-for color, so the softkey area is basically the correct color; the rest of the screen is technically "burnt-in", as many screen types yellow with age.
AndyYan's suggestion stands: in the future, hide away the softkeys if you're highly concerned about wearing out the screen evenly.

You think Motorola would replace the screen under warranty?

Most likely not. A yellowed screen from normal use isn't a defect, after all.
Have a look at Wikipedia for further info.
A while ago I dropped my G2, and now the screen is broken
An edge of 1 cm on the right side of the screen isn't working, the rest of the screen is fine.
I was wondering if there is a way to make the screen smaller so it fits in the part of the screen that works.
I have already tried the resolution changer app, but if I change the horizontal resolution, this app centers the screen, but I want it to align left. (Because only the right side is broken...)
Does anyone have any idea how to fix this?
On stock roms simply swipe on the nav bar

As Siggey said, LG has a function called Miniview which shrinks the screen. You just have to swipe the navbar.

Thanks for the replies guys! I will try this asap
So here is the deal, it may seem weired but I was wondrring if it is possible/has already been done before trying to code it.
I would like to make an app to change the screen container size, so as to simulate other screen sizes/aspect ratios.
Some apps like iphonex emulator add an overlay for the iphonex chin on top of the screen, but that actually hides part of the content, whereas I would like to make the device display stuff on a smaller sub-screen.
The end goal would be, for instance to simulate the galaxy S7 (similar footprint, but 16:9 screen and buttons under the screen, and logo on top), the iphone 7 (even bigger bezels) or really anything, if one loooooves bezels you could shrink the screen however you like, and replace the rest with black or static content.
Of course the purpose is more humoristic than useful, but I'd like to know *if* it can be done!
On the S8, S9, and S10 series of Galaxy phones from Samsung (and probably others), their edge bar has an option for creating GIF's. What it does is you can pick the rectangle or circle, and it puts that shape on your screen, dimming everything outside of it, and places a record button below it. You can then watch a video, view something through your camera, mess around in an app, or do whatever but whatever is inside that shape on your screen will be recorded and saved to a GIF file. You can also resize and reposition that shape so you can get exactly what you want.
Does anyone know if there's an app similar to this that I can get? I used the crap out of this on my S10 and its literally the only thing i miss about that phone.
I really just need something that'll record a square of my size that i can move around on my screen, thats it... If it even exists...
This is wrong section pal
This is the apps section right?
