The only available options are Default, 1:1, 4:3, 16:9 and Custom.
As a result lower res videos appear tiny.

For example, the aspect ratio of the Droid Incredible screen is 3:5. Various launchers allow you to set it so that the picture doesn't scroll when you move between desktops. If that's the case, a wide aspect ratio isn't needed for the wallpaper.
Is there a launcher that allows you to disable wallpaper scrolling and use a wallpaper that is the same aspect ratio as the phone's screen?
I've been thinking about this for several days since the release, and I can't seem to find the error in my ways. Brothers, guide me!
Everyone is claiming that the change in resolution is made to accomodate the system buttons. However, if the width (720) is expanded to 768, would that not make the display wider and less widescreen? If the new resolution was made to include the home buttons, I would assume that the height, not width, would be expanded. Where have I gone so wrong?! :crying:
To complicate the matter, there are different types of aspect ratios. There is a pixel aspect ratio, and a display aspect ratio. DAR/PAR=SAR, the storage aspect ratio. You see, the image has is so many pixels across, and the actual screen has so many pixels across, and they don't necessarily match, which is when the actual pixels on the screen aren't square shaped.
Also, the effective aspect ratio on the screen changes, as the home screen, for example, will have the capacitive buttons visible, but during gaming or full screen video playback, the image will truly be full screen, so no buttons visible (or so I've read).

So do we know if this applies to the new Nexus phone, or is it actually just going to use something other than a 16:9 aspect ratio (1:1 pixel ratio)?
Hi, I'm using chromecast with my 1080p projector. Since S8+, all android with 16:9 aspect ratio filled the entire screen. Now because of new aspect ratio the image is cropped. But the source - presentation / photos/ videos is in 16:9, so there is black border around the image, looking pretty bad. Zoom is not solution, because it is decreasing quality. Is there option to crop the S8+ screen to 16:9 for screen mirroring? Thanks!
Image samples are always in 4:3 format.
Is it possible to change image format in camera app to capture still photos in 16:9 mode?
(Of course I know there are 3rd party camera apps etc. but nothing beats native support for 16:9)
I don't see the reason why not. Here is screenshot of my pixel camera settings. I believe both phones have same screen ration.
My HTC U Ultra has 16:9 and 4:3 modes.
16:9 is just 4:3 cropped so there is no reason why you should photograph in anything but 4:3 and then crop, to keep all the information.
Selectin 16:9 mode removes a big chunk of the information from the sensor. Sure it fills the screen, but that in itself is a poor reason.
Reason to have a 16:9 option is the same reason why most phone cameras have a auto mode. Most people just want to point and press the shutter and be done with it
One major annoyance of the OnePlus 7 Pro camera app is that it only supports aspect ratios 4:3 (which looks old-fashioned computery), 20:9 (ridiculously wide) and for some reason 1:1 (useless), and no sane aspect ratios like 16:9, or even better, the traditional 3:2.
So I've been looking at alternative camera apps. Many of them do support 16:9, some even 3:2, but I haven't found a single one that allows you to use the wide angle and zoom lenses of the 7 Pro.
Any tips?
Edit: I realize that all aspect ratios other than 4:3 just crop the picture from the sensor, and that I can do so myself afterwards, but I just want to point and click, and not have to worry about getting the subject in the to-be-cropped-part of the picture.
Thanks,
