Netflix 4:3 Letterbox - No Full Screen???

Does anybody using Netflix have the enlarge/full screen button on the bottom right side of their Nexus 7 while watching videos in Netflix? Every tablet I have had, which means nearly every popular tablet made, has had the ability to expand 4:3 videos to full screen ( a necessity on smaller 7" - 8" screens if you ask me) via a small button (four opposed arrows pointing diagonally) located next to the total video time on the lower right portion of the screen.
For some reason, it is missing on the Nexus 7 for me in both stock or PA roms. I have tried changing the DPI & the resolution, but no matter what I do, the enlarge/full screen soft button just won't appear while watching Netflix.
Anybody have a fix for this? Anybody have that button showing? Try playing a 4:3 video like Star Trek DS9 on your N7 & let me know if you have an expand screen button in your Netflix app.

Daydream VR - Samsung A7 (2017)

Hi all,
I like to share my experience using Daydream VR on the unsupported Samsung A7 (2017). After following steps to root and add lines of code to the hardware XML file to enable Daydream to work, I find an odd behavior with Daydream app and any Google VR apps like street view. The double stereoscopic images open and are displayed momentarily but freezes. At first, I thought this was a total failure and the reason why the phone is incompatible or not supported for Daydream VR. However, by chance, I swiped down to reveal the the top status bar whilst in the stereoscopic landscape mode and the daydream controller and the VR view came to life and worked for as along as the status bar is revealed. I turned on the VR develop mode to check framerates and with overlays on in VR mode it didn't freeze. Frame rate was around 60 dipping sometimes to 50 on the start screen.
This is a small market for people trying VR and was wondering if anyone has experienced the same and also know of a fix or workaround to this problem. I don't believe the issue is a software type rather than hardware but I'm no expert! I've read a few topics regarding 'Immersive' mode but found nothing specific to this experience.
Thanks for reading and your input if you have any.
Update.
I've stumbled upon a work around. The Samsung phone comes with an app called Game Launcher. This places a small, movable red button overlaid onto the game when it switches to full screen. Pressing it opens a popup menu for in-game screen shots and to start video recording of the game in full screen. Anyway, I am digressing. Launching the Google Daydream app via the Samsung Game Launcher prevents the stereoscopic view from freezing. There's some jitter on black divider between the two views but other than that, the app runs and the controller works smoothly. Thought I'd share this info. Tested only with A7 (2017), rooted and stock rom 7.0.

App to change aspect ratio without root

Hello everyone.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S9 and when I try to screen mirroring the phone to a 16:9 tv, using a HDMI cable or through wifi using Chromecast, I have black bars on the top and on the bottom of the 16:9 screen since the screen aspect ratio of the phone is 18:5,9.
If I use the Smart View feature of phone to do screen mirroring, the app has a floating button where I can change settings of phone to customize the mirroring, including change aspect ratio of the phone screen to 16:9 to best fit on the TV screen without black bars.
See images attached. Only in Portuguese Brasil (sorry).
My phone is not rooted so I think it is possible to develop an App that changes aspect ratio of phone without root (at least on Samsung devices).
To help developing, I extracted Samsung Smart View apk of my phone to help on knowledge of the function used to change aspect ratio included in App.

How to change the resolution in Android 10 Desktop Mode ?

Hi there,
I'm on Lineage OS 17.1 and I want to change the resolution displayed by the USB-C external display used by the Android 10 Desktop Mode.
I want to change it because I've got too big interface at and app doesn't display correctly or entirely on the screen. In addition, I can't use Flow desktop, buttons are on top of other because of the screen zoom.
Anyone can help me ?
Thank you very much.
I recommend using the Second Screen app by Braden Farmer. If you give it the permissions it needs, it should help with the sizing issues on a second screen.
