notch in all games - Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers

how to force appto use notch area ?
im using aosip+ custom kernel
any idea?

Hello! You cannot really do that. And even if you could, most games aren't too flexible when it comes to screen ratio. Many games won't even support 18:9 ratio, and some parts of the game will be out of screen (even buttons), and even worse, the touch screen isn't calibrated correctly in many games when the ratio is not supported. So by forcing the game to run in fullscreen (including notch) even if the technology is possible by rooting your phone, the games will surely be unplayable.

HDMI tv out, only mirroring?

I tried the tvout with the offical hmdi adapter but it mirrors the tablet including the system bar, and since the resolution of the tablet is 16:10 and not 16:9 I get two black vertical stripes at both sides.
Is there a way to change this behavior? Like a full 16:9 or a 1080p out?

You'll need to change the settings on your TV to stretch the picture or zoom it, most TV's have a setting to automatically do this to hide black bars, the only problem is it alters the shapes, people end up with odd shaped heads etc
So basically there is no way to play on a tv a 16:9 fullhd video or a slidewhow without status bar? I mean, is mirroring the only one mode?
You can set this up to hide the status bar, but 16:9 is always going to be an issue as the tablet is not 16:9
Yes, but still tvout is a limited feature since I can't have an extended desktop or i.e. a slideshow played on tv while working on something on the tab...

Hang on......so you want to play a video to the TV in HD widescreen while still doing something on the tablet ?
I'm pretty sure there's no Android devices that do this
A kind of... My first aim is to play a slideshow on a tv in full screen mode, while seeing the slide's tree on the tablet and choosing which one to show in full screen on the tv.
Second aim is to disable tablet video and show only tv. It would be nice to play a 3d game on the tv, but as long as the video is doubled fps are so low that it's unplayable.
FPS won't be doubled as all you're doing is doubling up the video output, not the data going through the GPU, there's plenty of video's on youtube of folks using MHL adapters to connect to a TV to play games
Yes fps won't be halved but, since a tough game is very cpu intensive, doubling the video it lags a lot more the tablet. My tablet is much more laggy even simply swiping on the home screens or app drawer when connected to a tv.
Flash motley kernel and overclock to 1.4
I believe a Nexus Q will let you send video from the tablet to the TV whilst doing other stuff on the tablet, but it costs quite a lot.
Definitely hear some unrealistic multitasking wants. Also, doesn't ICS improve hdmi out options as far as full screen video, not just mirroring?

The Galaxy note 10.1 has this function in the movieplayer to only show the video while controls are shown on the tablet. This is exactly what you are asking if i understand you correctly.
I'm also looking for more possibilities in this area. Being able to see the picture Gallery while only showing the last picture (or non at the start) would be amazing!
If i find anything i will share it here

Fix square aspect ratio?

After sideloading lots of apps onto the gear and comparing to the motoactiv, I have discovered the second most crippling thing about the gear after the lack of wifi is the square aspect ratio screen. It breaks 75% of the apps I try because they're designed for a 4:3 or wider screen and all the interface elements either overlap or are drawn off screen. It has excellent hardware, and with a normal aspect ratio like on other smartwatches it would run most apps and games perfectly.
The landscape/widescreen apps that do work tend to scale the image down so it fits within the width of the screen. Does anyone know if it might be possible to force apps to do this, or to fool them into thinking its a 320x240 screen? Like how paranoidandroid allows you to set the DPI for individual apps. It wouldn't be perfect not filling the screen, but it would at least allow the majority of apps to function.
If only it were 480x320 instead of 320x320...

What your asking from my knowledge is not possible..
One thing you can do tho is set the independent DPI's of apps like Paranoid Adnroid using xposed framework & app settings module.
You can also application titles, which breaks some apps although does free up some screen real estate.

Hide front buttons in app - fullscreen performance drops

LG D958, Stock 4.2.2. When using useful function "hide front buttons" in specific apps, I've noticed some problems with performance, especially in graphics-rich apps. Tried gfxbench, onscreen mode 25.6 FPS vs 33.1FPS. The same with Real Racing 3 etc and it become difficult to play. Seems like stuttering in render. I doubt that the extra 72 pixels may affect performance so much. So it would be a disappointment if the problem is not corrected in 4.4 update, this function become useless in 3D apps . Is it possible and can anyone send report to LG about this bug? Thanks.

Change aspect ratio for certain apps?

Some games that I play look like they're been squeezed so I assume it's cause the game doesn't support 4:3 ratio. Is there a way to make certain apps change aspect ratio so it doesn't look like it's been squeezed?

The only way I know requires rooting your tablet and installing xPosed framework. Look for the App Settings module which lets you fine tune almost all aspects of an apps' display, including the DPI, on a per app basis.

Question OnePlus Pad. PUBG mobile screen resolution problem

Hi all!
On the OnePlus tablet, the aspect ratio is 7:5, so the resolution is also not standard: 2800 × 2000 pixels...
All this together gives a pixelated / square picture in the lobby and in battle (regardless of the selected graphics quality settings)
Is there any way to actually fix this? There is a strong feeling that the game did not correctly "understand" the screen resolution
Thank you in advance

I am pretty certain that this has nothing to do with the OnePlus Pad so there wont be any settings embedded to change this. It should be an issue/bug with PUBG since it hasn't been configured for the particular aspect ratio of the OnePlus Pad as the device is pretty new. They should be working on a new patch update to fix this issue so make sure to keep the game up to date at all times!
Thanks!
@Deselver Only way to workaround this for now is by changing the resolution of your tablet entirely. The game is optimized for 20:9 or 16:9 aspect ratios. Using 1650x2800 worked for me, YMMV, also this solution requires root.
