Am I missing something? I want a bigger font on outside and smaller on inside. I see no option for this. Wtf? Seems dumb.
I agree. I also want the font on the front keyboard to be bigger on the front screen. I haven't found a workaround.
Try using Bixby routines.

Yep. Or Tasker.
Yeah I'm with you on this one front fonts are way to small
I played around with the minimum width numbers in developer options and adjusted the numbers to where i like them from with in the inner screen. I've noticed that when you go in the minimum width settings from the front screen the numbers are different then when u go in from the inside screen and if you try and adjust them from the front outer screen they won't stick they just default to there original numbers ?
Just tested with Bixby Routine but if doesn't work well. It often doesn't change as it is actually configured which is annoying.
Samsung will probably get around to enabling it latter...

I'm trying to get this shot of the headphones to be shown entirely on the home screen of my Nexus 7 but I can't seem to format it properly. What I did first was shrink the width to 720 (with the height changing proportionally) and then I pasted it into a black background of a 720x1280. I loaded it onto my tablet and I only get the headphone partially. I then took the original image and increased the canvas width and filled in with black. I pretty much get the same cropped portion of the headphone. Can anyone help me in what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks!
Tweaked the image a little as it looked very crooked and "wrong" to my eyes, but I attacked two versions, one that is full width and one that is single screen width. Also I use a free app called "Wallpaper Set Save" to set the wallpaper, as it makes it fit and means you dont have to do that "crop" shenanigans.

Thanks - but those images still didn't quite do what I was hoping for. I'm looking to have the headphones only on the main home screen. I thought adding black bars to the side would take care of that, but didn't seem to make much of a difference. I'll fool around with the app.
Curious if there's a way to have different screen zoom and text sizes per screen. On the front.. obviously like it a little bigger. Opened, I like the screen zoom to small with a slightly smaller text size. Also the screen zoom changes some apps to tablet mode, not ideal for the small screen. Any ideas?
Wondering about this as well. I've yet to find anyway of doing this. At the moment, 'Medium' Zoom looks better for the outside screen but too big for the Inner. I've just set it to 'Small' as the best you can get for now. Any change in developer setting (to make even smaller) makes the outside screen practically unusable due to its tiny size.
yeah from what i understand, the text size setting is completely global which is unfortunate.
with their expensive team of "experts", you would wonder why this was such an oversight.
Iv noticed on small screen you can pinch to zoom which iv used a lot
Someone suggested on Reddit that you can use Tasker to create two different profile for open and closed state with separate dp… The downside is, it will have maybe half a sec delay when you open or close due to switching res...
For the sake of fun I enabled USB debugging and used adb to change the density of the display window from 420 to 320. Looks great on the large display and the amount of info you see compared to the default value might be interesting to some of you.
> adb shell wm density 320
> adb shell wm density reset ( to restore original value)
I used this trick in the past on many of my devices and it's now a habit.
Let me know if it works well for you..
Why not just change minimum width in developer options?
I use a dpi value of 1200...

Do you know how to change the Preview Picture size ? Like in Whatsapp, instagram / fb they are soooo huuge.
In dpi, bigger the no., smaller the things on screen. So you ha e more stuff to see..
Mine is 1200 so everything is Tiny. I actually have to increase the font size to read everything

I tried 1200 DPI in developer settings which was fine for everything except the lock screen when I unfolded the phone while locked. It cut off the numbers on the left and right side of the keypad for entering my pin to unlock it. I use fingerprint recognition 99.9% of the time.

Yes. That is the only issue I have seen so far. I mostly use face unlock or finger as well.
I would like to just increase the font size on the front screen I've already adjusted the minimum width settings from the insider screen but the outside screen fonts are still to small . I've noticed that when you go in the minimum width settings from the front screen the numbers are different then when u go in from the inside screen and if you try and adjust them from the front outer screen they won't stick they just default to there original numbers ?
My sweet spot is 744dp and Font size in the middle.

I don't have much experience playing with them but they seem to be dynamic changing with other settings first of all the numbers are different when you go in from the inner screen and from the outer front screen
I'd just like to be able to bump up the size on the front screen already got the inside where i like it

Are you saying change the minimum width DP from the front screen?
Coz i don't see any change dp setting option under developer options
Also changing minimum width numbers from the front screen won't stick they just default back to original number for me

I meant the minimum width. Like you said this can't be changed for outer screen.
Maybe you can adjust the font size to fit outer screen, then change the minimum width on inner screen until the font size is comfortable.

Which apps the text too small? I put in middle and text size for most apps are ok for outer screen.
If it is browser you can adjust the browser text size independently

All the front screen font is to small specify to name a few quick setting notification messages and chrome font and txt are way to small for me
I don't think theres a good way to increase the Chrome font size on android like there is on windows all you can do is expand it which not very good
Might be me missing something, but is there a way to just re-size the small screen keyboard? Would like it to be taller but with out making the fold screen any bigger
What keyboard do you use? I use SwiftKey and haven't seen a way to resize it for the outer screen only, but it sure would be helpful since I use a split keyboard for the inner screen, which makes it hard to use on the outer screen. rarely use the outer screen, though.
I use gboard but have tried the Samsung keyboard as well.
I used GoodLock/KeysCafe and make my own Keyboard. With Arrows up. The Size ist changeable.

You can resize it/choose different style (ex. split), but those changes will also apply to the inner screen, unless they finally changed it recently.

Nice! I'll have to try that now.
ETA: Nope, it didn't work. I didn't try the Resize, since that's not what I need, but the Modes, and changing the front screen to full also changed the inner screen to full instead of thumb (split). Boo.

Yeah I have to say I was a wee bit disappointed with that as well. I'd like a different option on each as well.
The unsupported apps go almost-fullscreen; it cuts off ~5mm off the side to hide the camera hole. And then two corners are rounded and two are square.

Found the camera cutout. Why do we have to set this setting for every single app? (
I just did this with auto-rotate cos there's no global setting. If you know a global setting let me know. And then I can make exception if there's a problem.

Not exactly sure what you're talking about - do you mean the upper panel that shows the time, notification icons, Wi-Fi, cell signal, and battery charge? "Full screen" doesn't mean it gets rid of that, just is the aspect ratio of the app vs. the standard app ratios since some apps don't work well in full, like Instagram.
Also not sure what camera cutout setting is for each app - you should just have to turn it on or off to hide it or not, unless you mean some other setting?
