my problem is i'm not able to get any of the apps to full screen(like the option doesn't show up). i thought that they would show up in this menu. basically either i'm missing where the setting that makes apps into full screen, no apps are showing up, or there something else i'm missing
Can you share a screenshot of an app which is not fullscreen. I have multiple apps which automatically go fullscreen and has nothing to do with that menu. Please share an app screenshot in which you are facing issue.

mostly i'm trying to get games fullscreen or thing back to what i'm use to. i don't know if i can show some images because they might contain nsfw material. the best way i can describe it is that elements that should be a the end of the screen are instead not at the edge anymore

Look, your issue can be depending upon a lot of things.
1. Your navigation buttons showing ( can be due to use of thIrd party Launcher.
2. There are black borders in both side of the game. (game was designed for lesser wide screen devices in mind)
3.if you are using default launcher and gestures but also getting a black bar at the bottom of the screen. Then it's a app fullscreen issue.

I am using a different launcher, but the problem existed before switching and i don't see any black borders, at least not that i can see.

Yes it's a game issue... The game was designed for a 16:9 screen and this has higher ratio. Causing it to distort. You can try to change the dpi of the screen to adjust but I am not sure if that will work.
Other than that. If it's not a black edge then it's not about the phone. It's about the app

It's not the device issue. They actually can't do anything.. Contact the game devoloper.

i don't think they are going to add compatibility just because one person asked. is there a way to change my aspect ratio? also are apps suppose to show up in the app full screen setting or will it always be blank?

That page will always be blank it's just an info page ... If you think... Your app is actually fullscreen as you can see the background is fullscreen. So if the app doesn't add support you are pretty much stuck on this matter.

Is there a way to find out if my redmagic 5g came originally with eu rom or na rom?
Nope. You can check if it came with cn or global(eu/na) but not between eu na. Check if you have 55 watt charger in the box and check if your nfc option turns on or greyed out. If nfc grey /charger 55watt it's cn version of phone If 18watt nfc works then global device (eu/na rom)

Thanks for replying, my phone came with 18W charger and nfc works, so do you recommend using eu version or na, i live in the middle east and I'm currently using eu version and it's working flawlessly except that i get some flickering when brightness is turned all the way down it only happens for few minutes and disappears until i restart my phone and before installing this software version i didn't check if my phone came originally with eu version and i didn't have the problem before

Eu and NA roms are identical. There's no issue. Use any one.. If it works its not broken. So no need to fix it..
