Re: RESOLUTION & default ORIENTATION (of iso image)

[György Pejović]

I think...

$source/device/generic/common/device.mk

Resolution

77           PRODUCT_AAPT_CONFIG := normal large xlarge mdpi hdpi
78           PRODUCT_AAPT_PREF_CONFIG := mdpi

Orientation

76            PRODUCT_CHARACTERISTICS := tablet

100          # Get tablet dalvik parameters
101          $(call inherit-product,frameworks/native/build/tablet-10in-xhdpi-2048-dalvik-heap.mk)

Hey folks do you know how to (Where in the source code to change and then I'll re-build the image)

1.) Change the Resolution of the Android x86?  --> Need it smaller when running on Virtual box or QEMU. I think it's pre-defined somewhere in the kernel but where and how to change :)

2.) By default the Android x86 is in landscape mode, how can I change it to be in portrait by default :) since tablets can be in portrait too but it needs to be default and not through a  3rd party app. 

Thank you :D

I'm not sure.. I never changed those parameters. You can try modifying the line 76, 78, 101 in device.mk under the $source/device/generic/common/

76 PRODUCT_CHARACTERISTICS := phone

78 PRODUCT_AAPT_PREF_CONFIG := hdpi

101 $(call inherit-product,frameworks/native/build/phone-xhdpi-2048-dalvik-heap.mk

That's totally unrelated to the resolution.

The resolution is controlled by the framebuffer driver
you use. Different drivers use different configurations.
Read:

https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1mUQDFaERipwQQWHiZxmkvwPXNPlqtdv9lXrY5hPoUJ4/edit#slide=id.p75

VM usually uses the uvesa driver.

Again it's unrelated.

Again the key is to change the resolution to portrait mode.
Just search the forum.

Sorry for my wrong answer!

Do you know a linux command 'locate'? Try

locate uvesa

However, don't bother to look into the code.
The resolution is not controlled by the driver
but your hardware.
The hardware tells the driver what resolutions
it supports.

Hint: Google 'vm custom resolution'

It's still a custom resolution. (w < h)
Didn't you get it?

[Povilas Staniulis]

I don't think device type (phone or tablet) depends on screen resolution. Tablets can be either portrait or landscape.

My last question was actually how to have the image (.iso) be in portrait mode by default and not landscape.

Well, you've asked about device type before, so I assumed you want to make your device work like mobile.

To elaborate, my question now isn't about device type!

It is just about, what do I change in the source code so that the .iso image that we build is set to portrait and not landscape by default? I saw a few people asking this on the forum but no seems to have posted a solution sadly. 

Thank you :)

Hello

I think that android decides default orientation based on resolution. So for example you set resolution to 1280x720, you'll get landscape mode, so if you wanted portrait, you'd have to set resolution to 720x1280.

Hope this helps.

Yes thank you.

I was wondering if any of the experienced folk here might know how to change the orientation to portrait by default

 (Note: not using an app to change and lock the orientation to portrait but change something in the source to make it default when building and putting into VirtualBox)

This has been answered many times.
It totally depends on the resolutions supported by your device.
Nothing to do with the source.

Why do you keep asking without thinking about that?

If you want portrait, just customize your resolution to portrait.
Doesn't it clear??

Google: vbox custom resolution

You still didn't try it. Did you?

It just takes you 3 seconds to get the answer:

thanks for the tips. Now, I can run remix os full screen in virtual box.
