FYI: YouTube Full Screen and Blocked View Fix

[deedscreen]

Those of us who have had our TrueSmart have learned that while this thing is crazy cool, there are a few quirks that need to be worked out.

For example, the YouTube app's Full Screen. The TrueSmart has a square, not rectangle wide screen, so the Full Screen wouldn't be quite full.

With the Xposed Framework Installed, you can install a Mod called "App Settings" and find the YouTube app, then you can make DPI (resolution) changes and click "Force Orientation > Portrait Mode". Now when using YouTube, expanding to full screen will allow for a more 'dedicated viewing experience'.

There are some apps (found in the Play Store) that you can't access without accepting the ToS (Terms of Service), and the "accept" and "decline" buttons are below the screen. In this case, you'd need to change the DPI, and possibly more settings. I even also had the same SuperSU issues that quite a lot of us had: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2656146 There are quite a few ways to fix the spillage.

Also, simply because I feel like saying something, why don't we have subsections for General, Q&A, Accessories, Development and such? meh :/

Thanks. If you want to make you post a [Guide] I'll add it to the Everything sticky.

Except for the rotation issue, qemu.sf.lcd_density=115 added to the build.prop also resolves the "fit" issue on almost every app as well and is the reason why I'm adding it back to the patch for all x201s.

I'll consider turning it into a guide. Friendly tip: It may have been a mistake but please try not to quote the entire long post, it takes up extra unneeded room, a @deedscreen mention in reply or partial quote works just fine. It can make things a bit hectic. (Ex: you have a long development thread and someone quotes the long post to say "this is cool".) Nevertheless, the guide is a good idea - now if we can only figure out how to get the status bar to always show when using -say- Nova launcher. My attempts haven't gone the greatest so far. :cyclops:

It was before my first cup of coffee so blame it on the lack of caffeine.

The solution I've been using is Swipe Statusbar. It's not ideal but does free up the space a consistent status bar would use. A permanent status bar fix is going to most likely require the framework and related files be gone through and redone as they use a show intent versus a hide intent from what I've been told.

I do use my ppi edit and Force Orientation on my daily device. Hopefully I can make the need for the orientation lock unnecessary and have it active at all times for all apps. That would cover the majority of users and apps used and can't remember the last time I wanted an app to rotate on the x201.

I know what you mean, with that app I've tried and it covers some areas of apps and drives me insane, I can't quite win...
