Hi, Can someone show me if there is a way to view photos/pictures in full screen? The gallery app on the N5 does not use the full screen estate like the videos do. Any suggestion/app would be welcome. Thanks!
So I've basically abandoned my gal.tab8.9 once I got my N5, it just is so much nicer for almost everything.
However, the N5 youtube app is really killing me
this thing has a 1080p resolution, but when you want to scroll through videos it only shows 2 per screen? what is this, an old nokia brick?
so, is there a way to change the stock youtube app to be tablet style, i.e. with more videos in grid layout
I'm running on stock rom, rooted and have xposed/gravbox if that helps
thanks
Since I bought a smartphone with widescreen display, I'd like to browse pictures in full widescreen mode.
Well, it sounds easy but I can't find a way to do it with the Nexus5 through stock apps.
When browsing pictures in portrait through the Gallery this is what i get: the picture is cropped with 4 fat useless black bars on each side.
No way to get fullscreen with stock apps?

i use the gallery app(aosp), not photos. depending on the size of the photo, it will display more or less black bars. if the size of the photo fits the whole screen, then the whole screen is used.
Keep in mind the phone is taking pictures in a 4:3 aspect ratio which will never fill a 16:9 aspect ratio screen fully.
I suspect you realize that however and are just looking for a photo viewer app that uses Immersive Mode or Transparent Mode to hide the navigation bar. Check out this thread which has been outlining which apps have taken advantage of this feature already.

Not really, the size of the picture is actually a perfect 1080p (same aspect ratio of the Nexus5 display), and i took the screenshot with stock gallery app.

Yes i realized that, in fact i'm taking pictures in 2mpx only for that reason.
Looks like with stock Android you can't take nor view pictures in real fullscreen mode........
Use this instead of the horrible AOSP gallery or G+ Photos https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.alensw.PicFolder

Is there a mod or way to get other apps playing video content to 'fill the screen' ... i.e. crop to fit.
Not make app full screen from multitasking or allow apps full screen settings ... I mean like YouTube has a floating crop button to fill the display with the content? ?

On both Amazon prime video and Netflix there's an option to fill the screen. Not exactly the same and sometimes you have to press it a few times but it does work.
Also in display settings you can choose which apps to make full screen. I toggled them all.
Hello everyone,
I just recently switched from a HTC U11 to this wonderful MI 10 Pro and I couldn't be happier.
There's just one little thing that I realized and I don't know where I did something wrong in my settings or if it's a ROM issue.
Whenever I watch a Video in full screen, the phone kinda cuts off the sides (probably to fit in the full screen instead of putting a black bar over/under the video).
I find this quite annoying because I'm sometimes missing out on important information that's sometimes written on the screen.
This happens with all apps I tried (Instagram/IGTV, YouTube and Kiwi Browser).
Have you experienced that behavior before and how did you solve it?
I attached a Screenshot on how it actually looks like.
EDIT: I'm on MIUI Global 11.0.10.0
Have you tried pinch to zoom out?

Pinch to zoom only works on YouTube and only on horizontal videos. Not working on Instagram at all, Browser at all or on vertical videos on YouTube ?
Are there any settings somewher in the system that I need to check?
