Can't get Asphalt to pay in full screen

I am running Tnt lite v3.1.4 and I am only getting 90 degree view and landscape. I did the G-senor fix, but I am still having the same problem. Is there something I am doing wrong? Is anyone else having the same problem?

Did you do the G Sensor fix after installing 3.1.4? I believe that supplement is the new fix so if you ran another fix on top of it you may have unfixed it
The full screen issue is more to do with the native res of the display and Nvidia drivers than the accelerometer. I can not play the game since the touch points of the icons are off, so it is a semi-guessing game of what you are pressing.

Yeah, isn't it fun trying to gauge just how far above the icon you need to really press before crashing into stuff

[Q] Is my XOOM messed up?

Something really strange is going on......
Whenever I try to use a different launcher, I press the homekey after installing it and my screen will dim... ...and do nothing. So I press the back key to go back to the market and uninstall the crap.
Sorta the same thing happens when I go to Gallery and try to play my movies...
...the screen with dim and nothing will happen. So I press back to go back to the gallery and try it again...
...same damn thing. My movies used to play fine but now they don't....
Whats going on with my XOOM?
Hmmm i havent had any dimming issues (still new with the xoom) Are you using a movie converter app?
Sent from my Xoom using XDA App
If you've updated to 3.2 this is a known issue I think... known to me anyway, lol.
When you press the home key, you should get the option of which launcher to use but for some reason 3.2 doesn't draw the popup box properly. Anyway, to get round it, hit home, wait for the screen to dim and then switch the Xoom into portrait mode. This will re-draw the popup properly and you should be fine after that as it only seems to be a problem the first time.
could try turning off auto brightness and see if it does they same thing, i have mine always on full brightness it might mean less battery life but with my eyesight i need it bright.

New Color and brightness app Screen Adjust

For those looking to have further adjustment to lower screen brightness values even lower and even adjust the color tones somewhat, I discovered a new free app in market called Screen adjuster
Not only can lower brightness all the way down to 0, but allows adjusting brightness contrast as well as red blue and green. It works great!
it is called screen adjust. Even has widget so you can preset a dark setting if you like and one press enables it.
I find this app extremely useful for night time reading where even with the night mode the white text is too bright.
That and while using my eee at night my wife always complains it's too bright.
i couldn´t find the app. can you give me the download link please?
this is not a real screen adjustment, it runs *on top of the system* not only will it make your screen look like junk it will mak your homescreen scrolling laggy as hell, stay away

Actually screen filter runs on top. This actually really seems to darken it. I did notice lag one on home screen then home screen FC'd and after that it wokred fine. I sometimes get similar FC with out this app so not sure if it was to blame. All I know is I can now use my tablet in the dark without it being too bright.

I stand corrected it does run on top like screen filter. I tested during daytime and hadn't noticed. Either way it is another viable option.

This is a useful app. I notice that when its turned on you cannot install app.
WHat were the results of using this app in the daytime outside with sun???

Curious to know as well..
It'd be nice to be able to adjust the color saturation to make the GS 10.1
I made this app for educational purpose
Glad to hear if someone likes it
People with sgs2 like 'pseudo contrast'
I even didn't expect that it can be useful for someone ;0
Lags the tablet wouldnt reccomend this, example would be the scrolling of the home screen
On my SGS (and other smartphones) works great, but I try to look into what causes the problem on tablets
I like the initiative, good work!
New version released
Performance improved

[Q] Livesuit Image For Stealth Pro 9.7C

Hi. Just wondering if anyone out there would happen to have a .img image of the firmware for the trio stealth pro 9.7c. I.ve looked everywhere and can only come up with images that install through CWM recovery. My tablet will not boot into recovery as I flashed a rom that I thought would work, but now no video. Not an emergency, but if someone has it, it would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance

I used a livesuit image that was supposedly for the 9.7 on my 9.7c and everything works flawlessly. Use at your own risk. can't post links. pm me if you want it
Try this.
A member called hammerite said in this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=52298998 that the firmware for Wintouch Q91 works with this tablet. Specifically the file name is Q91A30321.img. Google it. I'm just downloading it right now and hope to fix a friend's tablet with it..
Sorry to say that file didn't work for me.
Another works, kinda

I was grasping at straws and downloaded the Q95A306043G file, and everything works, but you need to put it to english, and the colors are off, kinda like low res kinda look, but it's a good start if someone can fix the res of the screen :fingers-crossed:
A possible work around to get the 9.7c up and running

Yeah didn't work for me either. But I did find a bit of a work-around to have a functioning tablet again. A bit of a pain in the butt way to go about it, yet it is usable. If anyone wants to give it a try so you can at least use the thing, I'll try to explain it.....here it goes.......
Things needed:
1. LiveSuit or PhoenixSuit (I used PhoenixSuit)
2. Not necessary, but useful later, Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v32.zip
3. F918-WCDMA-20130423.1.1.11-a106-dou0308.img (copy and paste this into google, you will see a link from a site called pan.baidu.com on the first search page. Turned up about the third search down during my search. It is in Chinese, but the download link to click will have the file size, (310.16mb) click it and another box will appear, click the white box on the right, then yet another box will appear, click the blue box on the left this time, then it will give you the download.) This image is for a ly-f918 tablet, but mostly functional on 9.7c
Now we can start flashing.......
1. Using either LiveSuit or PhoenixSuit, flash the image that you downloaded to the tablet.
2. After the flash, you will notice that the screen colors are messed up and screen rotation is 180 degrees off. For the rotation, I just turned off auto rotate.
We will get to the color issue in a few....The screen will be barely legible at this point, but if you squint just right, you can read it
3. Run Bin4ry to gain root
4. For the screen color issue, I signed into google, went to the play store and downloaded and app called Screen Adjuster Free, ( yes this rom has play store built in) Set the Screen Adjuster to on (box at the top of the app) and set the system brightness to 23%. The screen should now be legible.
Things that are NOT working:
As mentioned, auto rotate is off 180 degrees
Rear camera causes the tablet to shut down
Volume up button lowers the volume, volume down and back buttons do nothing. There are volume up/down icons on the notification bar though
Color still off in the notification bar
I know it seems half-assed, but I DO at least have a working tablet again!!
I did find another rom that touch, wifi and camera do not work, but the screen colors are right:
sun4i_crane_v1.5_T05A_mc32x0_20121012-tm2.img
Maybe if someone knows how to open the images to play around with them, the display driver from the sun4i rom can be put into the F918 rom so the color is right. And possibly fix the screen rotation issue. Then the only things to worry about are the hard buttons and rear camera at that point.
Sorry if this seems lame, but like I said, My Stealth Pro 9.7c is functional again ( to some degree any way ) and if you were in the same boat as I was.....holding a tablet that didn't work at all.......it's better than nothing.
as always, try at your own risk. Let me know if anyone has trouble with this method or improvements. Thanks!

Just noticed you posted this as I was writing my post Does auto rotate work right? and do the hard buttons fuction correctly? and rear camera work? If it does you're a step closer than I was. maybe if someone takes THAT rom and the second one I posted and made a flashable image, we would have a completely working rom!!

Ya it's kinda the same as the one you were using, auto rotate is off 180 degrees, but no auto rotate fixes that been, testing it for awhile and found that utube, and netflix auto turns it upside down, and I have to use that other program to get the colors right, camara worked for a bit then it stopped working, but the play store worked just fine, sorry I've been gone, just busy at work =( volume up doesn't work but volume down does
Downloaded from where.the site won't let me download it

Vertical AutoRotate 180°

I have autorotate setting enabled.
When i have SmartPhone in vertical position if i rotate 180° the display it stays upside down and does not fit.
Why?

No phones work 'upside down'
I saw myself now on other smartphones.
I was used to an old cheap Chinese smartphone that did it.
Is not there a trick to do it?

Use this app.
You can use GravityBox to unlock rotations in every direction, including vertical.
You would obviously need a rooted device with Xposed running to do that.
I discovered a quite awesome bug that allows me to use my XZP upside down. You don't need to root or anything like that.
Steps :
1. Download the Twitch TV app from the PlayStore.
2. Open it. (You might need to create an account)
3. Rotate Device.
4. Press the home button.
5. ....
6. Profit!
When you are done, just rotate the phone to normal.
PS. I typed this comment why my phone upside down.
