Hi all,
I could not sleep thinking of using chrooted linux on my 47" 1080p LCD, fine, but we a re limited to the hdmi mirroring, which is 800x480 stretched to fill the screen.
Thinking about the video player, which does proper 1080p output I tried to fool the system somehow with video playing and task switching, menus, back btn presses, and found something:
Using temasek´s kang + ironkrnl #251 32mb hack, qemu lcd density 210
You start playing a video, can be through native video player or mxplayer, HW or SW mode, then you press menu once or twice to show the options, the video freezes for a moment. then you press back twice rapdly, VOILA, you have a working gallery (works until you flip the phone to portrait, this resets the display to normally scaled screen) in 1080p in the lower half of the screen.
If you were using mxplayer, the top half of the screen will have the player controls as they were on the phones screen during video playback. everything is repeated side by side almos three times (I think it´s the difference in resolution being compensated in the framebuffer or some sort of scaling bug).
All in all, does someone have any idea on how to invoke a mirrorless 1080p picture on hdmi? (or mirrored and downscaled/croppped on the phones screen), apparently only gallery is capable of displaying in 1080, any other app works in the phones screen but the image keeps frozen on hdmi with sound ok.
Imagine chrooted linux in 1080 with BT mouse and KB!
Pictures attached:
edit: tried with 1202221503-ETaNa_48 kernel and could not reproduce it, later will try with etana 64 and other ironkrnl
What a great little bug. It would be nice to have it actually run at 1080p for the Android screen and things like the word processor. Would make using the phone as a mini computer so much better.
Great find dude...!!

Sould I post this at Development section? Can some mod move this thread to dev? I think it will be more useful there.

Not development. Moving to general.
I can only say that I wish I had the same amount of spare time as you
Hi!
I'm developing an app for my Galaxy Cam. I want to display the camera preview image on a SurfaceView which is placed somewhere on the layout - but not full screen.
This works like a charm.
But I also want to display this app on the big screen via HDMI. Unfortunately, after activating the camera with this surface holder, the HDMI output changes to full screen camera preview only.
When I activate the camera (and the buffered preview) without setting the surface holder, the HDMI content will still be the normal screen.
Is there any way to use the surface holder preview and get the normal screen via HDMI?
Thanks alot in advance!
Solved it
Well... I just figured out that I can use a TextureView instead, which will not result in a full screen camera preview via HDMI.

Hey,
I used to have an Xperia Z and on that I had (stock) small app for screen capture. Upon capturing the screen I got an editing app starting (I think it was MobileSketch). I could use it to edit the picture (crop, draw upon etc.) and immediately share it via WhatsApp or Gmail or whatever.
Now I see that on my Xperia Z3 Compact whenever I capture the screen I get the Sketch app, which is far less intuitive for my needs.
Is there any chance to somehow define that a screen capture (by that small app) triggers MobileSketch?
Thanks,
R.
Hi there,
I'm trying to set th white balance on the video camera on my Sony Xperia z5, but the option to go into manual mode seems to have disspeared.
If I tap "M" for manual, it only allows me to take photos - the option t swap between the two seems to have gone,
I've checked some video online and the screen seems to give the option of swapping bewteen the two....
The user guide also says tap the iM* button, but again, that just gives me the photo option, not the video....
If anyone has any ideas on this it would be much appreciated!
Cheers
Adam
