Right now I'm using Nova Launcher because I need landscape mode in order to use MirrorLink in my car.
All is working well. However, I realised that there are 2 horizontal black bars at the top and bottom of the car screen. That's because of the aspect ratio. The car screen is 5:3 and S7 edge is 16:9. In order to reach 5:3, I need to change the default 2560x1440 resolution of my S7 edge to 2400x1440.
I'm using Easy DPI Changer (ROOT) to achieve that. In portrait mode there's no issues, screen resizes well and calibration it's fine. BUUUUT... When rotating the S7 edge to get landscape mode, it just reboots. Always, no matter the launcher. It's something coming from Android 7? Maybe TouchWiz?
The app is working amazing with a Sony XPERIA Z3 with Android 6.0.1. But it's not my daily smartphone so I need this to work with my S7 edge so bad.
Any help will be appreciated.

Try to set dpi with that app while you are on landscape mode. This may fix reboot but don't know about potrait mode issues

not working.
"Easy DPI changer" it's in portrait mode only, although I put my S7 edge in landscape, the app launches in portrait and when changing to 2400x1400 and going to home screen, screen tries to turn to landscape and it crashes like before.
Seems like TouchWiz or Android 7 doesn't support other resolutions in landscape mode than 16:9 (1280x720, 1920x1080, 2560x1440)???? :S
It must be samsung systemui, the other apps are made to scale at any resolution

Hi for some reason, today its easier for me to go from landscape to portrait mode... I don't now what happen, but sensitivity changed when I'm using YouTube. I use it almost always on portrait mode, except viewing videos.. before I can lay on my side and watch videos in landscape mode, but now it changes to portrait...is it possible to change its sensitivity?
Thanks
P.s. my settings is always a lock even before sensitivity increased..

Hey,
Doing a Nexus car mod at the present time and having issues with apps that are only designed for portrait mode being stretch into landscape mode rendering them useless.
In this example the app is ingress.
Is there a way to rotate an app into landscape mode but still keep in its portrait size so there would be black boxes on the left and right of the app?
Thanks for your help
Is there any way of getting the edge screen to work in landscape mode? Sometimes I want to switch apps when I'm in a landscape game without having to manually close the app then do it.
Thanks.
When I'm not using my TV I want it to function as a portrait mode picture frame. I have it set on a mount that can rotate from landscape to portrait. I've tried most of the set rotation like apps that are available in the google store. They will rotate the screen to portrait, but then the shield will rotate the screen and add giant black bars to the side.
Is there any way to modify the code in the shield to prevent it from doing this?
do you guys want portrait mode on the s8 as built-in? i think Samsung should bring it to us as pixel 2 did...what do u think?
What's wrong with selective focus?
selective focus misses the main edge of any object..even a face of person hair is blurred..the edge is not as good as portrait mode on the gcam..
True. I would love to see gcam having portrait mode for all by default but I don't see that happening as it's Google exclusive. Unless you use modded apks of course. Hopefully Samsung can tweak their selective focus to be better or create a portrait mode.
This Google Camera portrait works for me on my SM-G950F Android 8.0 https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=745849072291699976
