I'd love to post some screenshots, but they don't work just yet in CM7
I am having an issue with Google Reader scaling. I can open the app up and it displays as it should. When I open articles, the screen will scale down to about 1/4 size. There is even a little fade transition to it too.
Can anyone else running CM7 tablet mod try Reader to see if I'm the only one?

This is an issue with all versions of CM7. It's due to the LCD Density being greater than 160.
If it's 160 or below, Maps force closes, but if it's above 160, some apps don't scale correctly. I personally just have a bookmark for the web app on my desktop, as I like it better than the android app.
So there is no fix, either I will have Maps crashing, or Reader not displaying properly
Man, I can't wait for 3.0 to be released

Spare Parts -> Compatability -> Off, reboot.
I had the same question last night in IRC

Of course there are fixes, or at least workarounds. They are discussed in the CM7 threads.

That's what I tried first, disabling compatibility, rebooting, enabling compat, reboot
On or off, Google Reader and Tiger SNES are both scaled down

Care to link me or enlighten me?
I updated to yesterdays latest version, but I am still having scaling issues with Reader
Help? Please?

I have my LCD density currently set at 180 and all is fine. Except for a single app, it takes up like 2/3rds of the screen with gaps on the sides. How can I change this? Every other app is just fine. . . .
download "spare parts" and disable compatibility mode, restart your phone. i hope it works.
spare parts is in the android market, download it there.

Any way to specifically change for a single app via Root Explorer or similar? App in question is Nook for Android, which runs in the ugly phone edition mode ony device (galaxy player 5.0 w/native 240 dpi) but when I change system dpi to 160 or lower I get the nicer and fuller-featured "tablet" version of the app - however on the 5 inch screen everything else winds up too tiny and lags, hence hope of somehow forcing only Nook app to running at 160 dpi...
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

I'm using [Nov 4 ] SUNDAWG CM7 ROM's Native SD,CLK/MAG BEATS AUDIO,BRAVIA,XLOUD,720P http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1945425 with DPI 160. Disabled "compatibility mode" in spare parts but it doesnot work with Pansi SMS. It doesnot show full screen, just only 50% full screen.
Hi All,
As the title asks... Is anyone else having issues with apps not displaying "fully" on the screen of the Note?
I have an issue with the "Scrabble Free" game where it runs ok but it only shows the game screen in the top left corner of the screen. It is showing the WHOLE page but it is less that a quarter the size of the screen.
Can someone maybe download this game and see if its that same for you? Its free. And if anyone has other apps that they have this issue with then perhaps share them here so we can make a list of these "wonky" apps.
If you know how to fix this then please advise as well.
Thanks,

No. I have not changed the DPI settings at all however I am running Darky Note ROM... Perhaps the ROM has changed my DPI settings? Everything else seems normal on the ROM though except that in the Dialer for example and in the Task Manager app - the Selection Bar that is usually in the top of the screen shows now at the bottom but I thought this may be a feature of the ROM...
What is the standard / stock DPI of the Note?

Thanks for the info. Would you mind perhaps DL'ing the Scrabble game to see if it does the same for you? I have an email out to EA Games on this but have not heard back yet. Perhaps I can get them to update the game for the Note if needed so that this issue can be avoided in the future...

The stock DPI is 320.
But if you have not modded it the chances are that it is at the stock value.
Nevertheless, install any DPI changing software from the market, they generally show the current value. if you are at 320 dpi then it most probably is the problem with the app. otherwise just change to 320 reboot and check

Hmmmmm... Perhaps it IS an app related issue. Can you please install the Scrabble game and tell me if you have the same issue? That would be most helpful.

I should mention that one of my chess clients also does not display properly. Granted chessboards are square...
It's an app issue. Various old apps have this problem.
For some apps, you can download spare parts and enable the compatibility mode.
If I do this for bonsai blast, it runs full screen but it is choppy.

Iam using Spare Parts+ (Plus), It fix this problem for some apps, but some apps are not made for Note, so it will not fix them , for ex. iGO Navigation
Ibrahim keyboard a keyboard for Arabic language. .. Does not show right. .. Smaller and looks funny. .. ..
Also have some app, not the main content of the app, but just the loading is no displaying fully (Match En Direct)

Yes in fact the desktop dock manual shows how you can use webtop when it's in there... I have not tried it yet though...
Sent from my MB886 using xda premium
Actually it does not support webtop because in this way it can reduce the cost of the phone.

it's in the manual for the dock, but so are other options that I do not have when plugging in my Atrix HD into the desk dock (no hdmi attached)
through software, it might be possible to enable or install this capability (Lapdock or webtop) in our ATRIX HD ???
Some developer who can give us your opinion?

Yes it should, there is some dev work with it though. We are in luck if the modules are included in the kernel..

why would you want webtop ?
I have a lapdock and I use my AHD with it. Chrome or even the OEM browser covers everything I ever needed. the other apps will take care of the document editing and pdf/pps presentations.
I will choose to get all internal storage available over webtop.

The crux is the missing tablet ui without webtop and also the lower resolution. Atrix / Razr HD both using 1280x720, while native lapdock solution is 1366x768. Of course you can use the phone mode (or editing dpi settings in build.prop), but it isn't the same look and feel as with webtop 3.0. there is a lot of loosed space just because of the big softkeys and the wide system bar.
All i want is a native hdmi output or at least a true tablet mode without rebooting. On the other side, i dont need a linux like webtop 2.x, just a tablet look and feel over hdmi on my tv or lapdock.
A little what I've been working on
1, Get all your display size: max out over scan in the settings> display menu
2, Annoyed with the screen backlight on and it draining battery? This app (also on market) works perfectly, if you go into settings> hdmi, auto hdmi detection, the screen will shut it down when you connect and turn back on when you disconnect, just like in the proper webtop.
Be sure to set these while unconnected because it will behave the opposite if you dont. Also good idea to enable shaking wake function for failsafe.
Bad news is the current JB leak doesnt have HDMI support yet, the phone has it so it should appear sooner or later, but if the razr hd has it, we can just use that rom.
3, Ill be finding a call recorder and then trying to have it play back audio through phone speaker next. The lapdock speakers are horrible.
To be honest, you shouldnt be worried about the resolution that much, because the webtop 3.0 was really at hiding the statusbar and giving you your screen space, the current soft buttons do that more, so alot of times you are actually getting more display than before.
Found an app that fixes the audio routing problem.. Allthough its not automatic to switch back to headset/speaker from speaker only when you disconnect from lapdock, i might just cook up a macro to fix that.
What else you need? Hide soft buttons? May have something for that later
name of app to fix sound

I know what your thinking...why? Well for starters it is an IPS panel, Sony is going to be doing it in their newest Xperia Oh and the Nexus7 had their own apps for it! To me it seems only logical to explore it further. Can it be done? either at a kernal level in the future, or software that changes the rendering or color RGB. I'm very curious how close on the color spectrum they are!
Any help appreciated!:good:

There is an app in the extras screen that lets you set some screen preferences like white balance.

After I said that, I discovered it was removed from later versions. Let me see if I can find it.
Edit: I was wrong, it was not removed. It only comes with the HD and is still there. It is named WhiteBalanceSetting.apk. But it does not come with the HD+. It also does not work on the HD+. I tried transferring it.

Hey your right! I see it now it was just hidden with the way I had my application drawer set. Now I just need to put some calibration videos on here and test these settings out.
How do launch white balance app, I can't see it any where. I am on nook HD sw ver 2.1.0. The sw is missing after the last ota update

Hello:
Its not too much of a hassle, could you please upload the white balance apk so i can sideload it to my HD? My tablet has a very deep warm tone that i would like to try to correct. I know that other apps exist on the play store, but they only change the color hue "superficially" which alters the device's true black color. I bought the Nook from eBay, and it automatically installed the update 2.1.0 which seems to eliminate the white balance app from some Nooks. I have looked everywhere (even found a site for nook developers), and its seems like a matter of luck; some tablets will keep the app, some will lose it. Returning the tablet is not really an option for me, because there are no B&N Stores on my state, so it would really help me if the apk is posted. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I kept looking and i was able to find a link to the app on another thread. I am not able to able to post links, but look in page 7 of a thread called:
" [Nook HD+] Touchscreen sensitivity experimentation (added GUI app on 07/06) "
I apologize to the developer (leapinlar) that i just bothered to request the file.
*Update*
I was able to successfully re-install white balance settings.apk to the Nook HD:
- When rooting the device, make sure to install the "Extras v3" zip file. This will allow the Nook HD to install apps from additional sources.
- You won't be able to install the app by just opening the file. The install button will not "react".
You will need to download ES File Explorer, go into Tools - Root Explorer and from there select: "One Key Install".
Click on the apk, and after the "Sucessfully Installed" message, you should have the app in your drawer.
