How do you fix Apps and Games that don't stretch full screen in Landscape Mode?

How do you fix Apps and Games that don't stretch full screen in Landscape Mode on Nook Color? I installed Mini Squadron and Shoot U and when I try to view them in Landscape Mode, they don't stretch full screen like for instance, Angry Birds. Is there a setting I have to change on the Nook Color? Do I have to do the Spare Parts trick like the Samsung Galaxy Tab? Just curious if anyone found the solution to this. Kinda sucks because I like that game Shoot U

UPDATE: I fixed the issue. I researched the Fullscreen Compatibility Mode fix for the Samsung Galaxy Tab on YouTube using Spare Parts and followed the steps to fix my landscape issues for some apps/games. Here is the link to the YouTube video:

Be sure to follow the steps completely which include the 2 reboots. Do not skip any steps in the video because it won't work if you do. List of games that I got fix:

- Robo Defense - Before fix, the screen would stay in 4:3 aspect ratio mode and I couldn't see my robots to drag on the screen. After fix, the screen loads full screen with robots accessible.
- Shoot U - Before fix, the screen would stay 4:3 aspect ratio. After fix, the screen utilizes the whole screen.
- etc.

Apps can set whether they do automatic stretching or not in the manifest file of the apk.

You could try to use APK manager (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695701) play around with the manifest file and repackage.

Fixed the issue

Full Screen Compatibility Mode fix with Spare Parts
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zasSIA7sexM

Fixed the issue. Folllow the steps in the YouTube video. Now, I just need to get the button re-mapping configuration setup and the Nook Color will be COMPLETE =)

This fix does not seem to fix the remote control on the xbmc app. Anybody get that to work?

Nevermind -- found it:

I can't seem to find a spare parts with the compatibility tick box. If it's copacetic, would someone post the apk here?

jerrygon,

I haven't used the XBMC app yet. I'll try to install it and see if I get the same issues like you. Again, follow the directions in the YouTube video step-by-step. Don't skip on any of the steps. It won't work if you skip steps. That is what I did first and it did not work until I followed the instructions completely.

DOH! I wish I would have read this full thread for a link

I ended up pulling the spareparts apk from the 2.1 system image that's included with the Android SDK (2.2 version wouldn't install).

Oh well, whatever works.

still buggy
