I have a 7" Navigation screen with a 16:9 aspect ratio in my car and was wondering if there was anyway to output to 800x480? The Touch Pro outputs to 640x480 and all the people look all fat and stubby when i use fit to screen feature.
I was just looking at the redfly and it's drivers were able to output the touch pro's resolution at 800x480 so i was wondering has anyone been able to do this?
I don't understand what you want to try to do. It seems like you're complaining about aspect ratio when using the full screen of the device. But the only way to keep aspect ratio and fill the screen - would be to chop part of the image from the top and bottom. The HTC TP is natively a 4:3 device, so it's always going to output 640x480.
To go from 640x480 to 800x480 you're either going to have to stretch, or crop and stretch. I'd hate to crop that much, though.

Yes, but like Pollo Loco said, the 800x480's "zoom" will chop off the top and bottom. I know someone who would insist on using the "fit to screen" feature to fill up his "then new" LCD flatscreen tv. It was annoying and made it pointless to bother watching a skewered movie. Widescreen is now the industry standard, so it should no longer be an issue with current movies, video podcasts, etc.

RedFly doesn't use TV output, it uses a standard USB cable and works like a VNC I assume.
i think your right i just looked at redfly video and what they did was extend the desktop to 800x480 so what that means is 160 pixels is not viewable on the touch pro. this would be extremely useful if someone manages to get the USB host working so we can plug in an xenarc external monitor with a usb touch panel like the advantage does
take a look at this screenshot i think you;ll understand what redfly does

Anyways ive found a work around for now. i just change the aspect ratio in coreplayer to 4:3 for widescreen movies so that everyone looks tall and skinny and the monitor will naturally stretch that image to fullscreen and make everything look the correct aspect ratio

So, I know about the Wimm One, the Sony sports one, and the motorola one. Those aren't exactly what I'm looking for. I do a lot of walking at work sometimes during the week and my Samsung Note does fine for it, but it's a bit bulky to pull it out everytime I need to look at the screen. Batt life isn't much an issue thankfully. Is there such a device that...
1. can play music directly from the device
2. connects to a bluetooth headset
3. has a Micro SD card storage up to 32gb
4. has decent batt life
5. minor I suppose connect to my phone for txt and other notifications while still being connect to my BT headset (dunno if this is possible)
Thanks for your help.
Android mp3 players and other small devices
What maximum size screen screen size can you accept? I am not familiar with the products you mentioned, but it seems you are looking for the Android equivalent of an iPod Touch, which has a 3.5" diagonal screen. (I would not want a screen smaller, even for just an mp3 player.)
There are models of Android tablets with 5" or smaller screens. IMO, If an Android device has a screen large enough to function as a decent mp3 player, there is no point to limiting it to only playing mp3s, so I suggest you look for small Android tablets, game consoles, pocket computers and mp3 or media players.
I did a quick search, and Archos has some Android tablets with small screens that they sell as multimedia players in the range of $150-200, as well as smaller models (I found one with a 2" screen) that may not run Android. (They don't say, so I assume not.)
Also, there are the Samsung Galaxy Players, with screen sizes down to 3.6". They run Android and look a lot like an iPod Touch. The prices I'm seeing are about $130-150, which seem quite reasonable.
I did not check if any of the above support Bluetooth headsets or SD card storage; I just wanted to give you some ideas of where and how to start looking. I hope that was helpful, and didn't just tell you things you already knew.
Also, if you find a model that has Bluetooth, make sure it supports headsets before buying. ;-) I hope someone here can give you a specific product recommendation!
I'm looking for a device the size of the current touch nano. The wimm one and equivalents are the size of a large watch.
whats about that?
ww.w.imwatch.it/at-en/
delete the point between www
you have a 3,5 audio plug, tiny touchscreen, phonebook, can call peaople from your watch, write messages, check facebook and it makes you breakfast in the morning
^Man that website fails...
I've looked at that before and it didn't seem to fit the bill. Doesn't really matter anyway.
I went with a Motorola MotoActv w/ 16gb.

Hey XDA'ers,
I was just wondering if any of you know how to create wallpapers specifically designed for the Desire S. The current resolution I have (googled and found out I should use this, i think) is 980x856 or 980x850. Anyway, I want to design a wallpaper like PieUI, as follows :

}
See how the widgets fit right underneath the colored lines? I want to make a wallpaper like that for my Desire S. I'm not sure how to figure out Android grid sizes in Photoshop, so any help on doing so would be amazing. Might be nice to mention I want to do it for 3 Homescreens, if that makes any difference.
Thanks people, hope I was clear in my question. (I searched for threads on how to do this, but I couldn't find anything that explained it properly)
Peace!
Why don't you take a screenshot on the central home screen with some stuff on it and then use it as an under-layer for your design in photoshop, then remove it before saving your final version?

From what I remember, and I'm sure someone else will pipe up if I'm wrong, the screen of the DS is 480 wide by 800 high. When I used wallpapers compatible for scrolling they needed to be 960 wide by 800 high - 480 pixels in the centre for the main screen and 240 each side for the scrolling.

I thought about the pixel size when it went to landscape, i wasn't sure what the scrolling sizes needed to be (i just doubled the width, hoping it was right lol) I'm still messing about with wallpapers, trying to get a wallpaper/UCCW theme going on here. Proving to be a hassle, but ill get it Thanks for confirming the sizes man.
Hi, I'm trying to set up a nice little android 7.1 system to attach to my TV using a HDMI cable though I'm having a bit of trouble with the resolution. I'm getting a black border around the screen - See the below image.

This is what the laptop screen looks like below.
I've plugged in another laptop that has windows installed and noted down the resolution which is 1280x768. I've also found the corresponding vga values both 16 and 32. 1280x768x16 = 888 and 1280x768x32 = 889
When I add either of these to the menu.lst file I get a message on boot stating that I'm using an undefined video number.
Like the below image:
I've typed scan to get the video modes available but there are no resolutions that match the aspect ratio of my screen. I've tested the ones listed but they still either don't take up the whole screen or match the aspect ratio.
The below image shows a list of codes that I have found.
The laptop I'm running this on is pretty old but with windows or any of the other Linux distros I've found I have no problem.
Specs:
Processor: Intel Celeron C900
Clock Speed: 2.2 GHz, 800MHz FSB, 1MB L2 Cache
Operating System: Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium
Memory: 3GB DDR2 RAM
Hard Drive: 250GB
Optical Drive: Lightscribe Super Multi DVD-RW
Display Screen: 15.6? High Definition HP Brightview Widescreen TFT LCD Display
Connectivity: Wireless enabled
Graphics: Intel GMA 4500MHD Graphics chipset
Graphics Memory: Up to 1309MB Graphics memory from shared resources
Camera: Built-in Webcam
Additional Features: HDMI connectivity, External display (VGA) port
Networking: Integrated 10/100Base-T Ethernet (LAN)
Audit: Altec Lansing integrated speakers
Connectivity: 3x USB ports, 5 in 1 integrated digital media card reader
Weight: 2.58kg
Battery Life: Up to 2 hours
Is there any way of getting around this? Or am I going about this the wrong way?
Many thanks!!!
Let me know if I need to provide more info!
OK I've managed to figure it out incase anyone was wondering.
Instead of booting with a vga=someNumber I used video=LVDS-1:d. This works a treat!
The only problem with this is would be that it doesn't use the laptop screen at all. But for me this is not a problem really.
I believe that the laptop resolution is not the same as the TV and the TV cannot resize to match the resolution (mirroring).
When you use video=LVDS-1:d you disable the laptop screen and it can use the TVs resolution just fine.
I am not sure that you can use the TV as an extended screen like xrandr would allow.
I have my pixel 7 pro set for high resolution. If I buy one of the Chromecast with Google TV (4K) what resolution will the pixel 7 pro's screen be displayed on my 4k monitor? I want to use it with an ethernet hub, and run a mouse and keyboard, similar to Dex. I would like to hear from anyone running a like setup.
If you want ethernet, keyboard, mouse, etc., Google TV/Chromecast is not the right solution. You'd simply be casting your phone screen or app via Chromecast.
The closest alternative to you request is using a USB-C DiplayLink dock (like this https://www.mediagearpro.com/d1-w.html#/) with the DisplayLink Presenter app. I don't have any personal experience with it.
Project your Pixel phone's screen - Pixel Phone Help
If you have a Chromecast or other device that casts, you can mirror your Pixel phone's screen and audio on
support.google.com
I still need an answer, not display link. The DisplayLink thingy is only 2K and overpriced. I have a multi hub that provides 3 usb 3.0, for mouse and keyboard, and ethernet out. It has usbc that plugs into the phone. I'll put an ethernet dongle on the chromecast and connectivity is solved via router. My main concern is getting a high res picture on the screen, I still need to know If I buy one of the Chromecast with Google TV (4K) what resolution will the pixel 7 pro's screen be displayed on my 4k monitor?
Since the Pixel 7 Pro displays up to 2K resolution, I'm very sure that's what would be displayed on your 4K monitor.

My understanding of 2k is 2560×1440. The info I have on the Pixel 7 Pro's resolution is 3120X1440, not 4k but you need more than standard 2k to put it onscreen. That would still be crispy on the 3840X2160 display. Still looking for someone with a Chromecast with Google TV (4K) who can tell me what it will do. I hate Googles business model, full of sales hyperbole and little meaty information. Nowhere have I found an answer, that's why I'm hoping for some input from someone who owns one of these.

I don't have any 4K monitors, but I have my 4K TV. Given the information shown at the bottom left of these two photos, and that I didn't notice any obvious resolution switch, I believe the TV stays in 2160p mode.
Spoiler: First photo is just casting from my phone:

Hope this helps. Perhaps there was some other place for me to show what resolution it was in, such as in Chromecast's interface. I didn't think of it until after I re-removed the batteries from my TV remote.
I just got T6R Max today and the built-in apps (Netflix, Prime, etc.) are showing way too bad image quality. I connected it to my pc and made some comparisons and pc was way better. However, still I don't think I am getting HDR image and it actually looks horrible.
It says SDR at the top left. There is an option called HDMI 2.0 and there are ''On'' ''Off'' ''Auto'' options. Can somebody explain what this option is for? My HDMI cable is KabelDirekt HDMI 2.0 18Gbit/s.
I don't know if it's supposed to show it but I can see ''No HDR'' in windows as well.
Here, I tried to show the difference. The first one is my PC monitor. The second one is T6R Max. You can see there is no detail whatsoever in the second photo. Darks are so dark. The colors are idk what to say... I tried to tweak the image a bit with the projection's options but it won't help.

I just downloaded an HDR film and put it in a usb. Tried to open it that way directly in the projector's OS. The difference is big. It is way better than what I am getting from my pc. However, I am still not sure If I am getting HDR10 content. I am a bit lost here.
1- How can I see If it is really showing HDR10?
2- Why can't I get HDR from my PC?
Edit - Day 2:
I bought Amazon Fire Sticks 4k Max today. There are good display options in that. Finally, I can see HDR text when I open it at the top left corner. However, the problem with blacks and colors is still there. So this is my conclusion: I think even though the projector supports HDR, its brightness (550 ANSI lumen) is not enough for HDR content. That is why there are no details in blacks and colors are not there. I chose adaptive HDR in the display setting and with a little bit of tweak I can see more now. There is an image quality loss, however.
But I think this is what you get with this price range I guess. If there is a way that I can improve the quality please let me know.
