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!

I was thinking it'd be great (well more like novelty/kinda useful) if there was an application to use our Diamonds as a mini graphics tablet. I think it could work quite well with stylus. The display on the phone wouldn't have to show what is on the computer screen, maybe just plain white or something. The main thing would be to have the four corners of the screen on our phone match up with the for corners of our computer screens.
Just a thought, I don't know anything really about software development. Tell me what you think?
I've had my Xperia for about 6 months now, and whilst I like it a lot, and it's brought lots of my communication and entertainment together into one device, there's a few things I think would improve it greatly.
One of these things is the screen size, or more specifically the screen size that most programs use. The start/taskbar and bottom bar really annoy me, they take up 15% of the screen! I have a few apps that have the full screen ability (Pocketwit, the panels like Media Panel etc) and I think they look far better than their smaller screened rivals, and also slightly easier/better to use because of the enhanced screen real estate.
We have a Windows key and other relevant buttons, so I don't think it is vital to have that access to the Taskbar up top. I would like to see more developers give the option of toggling to full screen.
Anyone else share this annoyance?!
for bottom bar

Sweet, thanks dude - 7.5% extra screen space
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.
Hello everyone, I just bought an LG G6, I am an avid Clash Royale player, but for some reason it scales in the Top of the phone, but in the bottom it shows a black bar, which is annoying, anyone else can confirm they have the same issue?
Thanks,
Dont judge, just help,
Thanks
not all games are supported
As mentioned, not all games are supported, most of us probably got used to the fact our phones have (still) "unusal" aspect ratio so most fullscreen apps will show black bars either on the top and bottom or on the sides.
However sometimes you can force changing aspect ratio of the app. When swiping during immersive mode - proper way of naming "full screen" - and revealing status bar or navbar, a blueish-greenish (I'm a guy, colors are not my forte) button with arrows will appear. Pressing it and selecting the option you want, forces the app to be launcher with other aspect ratio, usually resulting in cropped content...
But some games do support it kinda properly, for example Dungeon Defense.
There are even some games that support full immersive mode, but not that much right now. 18:9 will surely be a "future" standard aspect ratio so the range of apps fully supporting it will increase soon.
Galaxy S8 users are scr3wed more, 18,5:9 aspect ratio makes these bars even bigger!
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?
