On Samsung Galaxy Note 3, small Nspire emulated LCD screen surrounded by black area
How to solve this problem? Hardly can read the emulated LCD
Please help
The small LCD seems to be a pixel-density related issue. I've just tried to adjust Nspiroid internal pixel-density settings to better accomodate you phone (Samsung Galaxy Note 3, with ~386 ppi).
Please find attached Nspiroid_fat_v111.rar and see if this quick fix improves the GUI in your case.

Thank you, but unfortunately nothing changed. I'very uninstaled the previous one then installed what you sent and the result is attached.

Well, what do you mean 'unfortunately nothing changed'? Now, it looks better (I'd say normal) to me! Of course the LCD size is still no scaled to the full width, because that requires interpolation what makes it blurry and slower. For the time being please use the landscape view for a larger LCD size.

Thanks, but I can’t upload screenshot in my home...
I can’t connect this site through my computer.
I don’t know why...

and I can’t upload picture here by mobile cell phone.
(I can type character, but can't attach picture.)

Ver 1.1.1
My screen is same as nagykamel.
Screen area is small.(Not button area.)
That size is as auxcalc view.

Anyway, Thank you for your reply!   :D

P.S.
Oh, I think Nspiroid is better than Firebird.
I like your work.  :3 :3

Easy to touch button(big button is good.)
All buttons in one screen.
And faster than that.(Especially boot speed.)

There is no change at all!
Anyways I've found firebird-emu which is an open source and emulates on many OS including android with readable LCD screen size.
https://github.com/nspire-emus/firebird/releases/tag/v0.20
Thank you and please keep the good work.

OMG! Thanks!

but can you expand screen area?

That area is small... and too large black blank area.
(Galaxy S4 Lte-A)
I didn't select Auxcalc view, but screen size was that size.
 
I had bad eyesight...
 :3 :3 :3

And else...?

um...
Flat or simple color button is better than now, I think.
Gradient color conceals blue sub button color.

Thanks!!! This is excellent work!
For people with 'bad eyesight' and with 1080x1920 resolution and dpi > 360 phones/tablets, I guess I can provide a GUI solution like the one drafted below.
Because this still requires some draft work i would like to hear from interested users first. The theme can be the grayish one, that's a no problem. Please tell me what you think.

My Samsung Galaxy S4 has a resolution of 1980X1080 pixels with 480 dpi so >>360 as requested from you : I'm very interested into this new version because would be the device on which I'll try and use the emulator if works well :)

Thank you!

That draft is exactly what I want.

I think grayish theme is better.

@rkd2003 and @matteob92
Here you go, Nspiroid_fat_v112.rar with a larger LCD and the gray theme.  Hope it works for you and your eyes will feel less pain ;).

As has been said countless times, you have to dump them from your TI-Nspire device using an utility PolyDumper (https://tiplanet.org/forum/archives_voir.php?id=3829) and follow the instructions in its readme. We aren't allowed by TI to distribute the 'roms'.

No, there's no need to root the android phone to run Nspiroid.

Hope you can find your way around soon.

Thank you for fast reply!

But, TI ROMS can be completly legally download here from theri officail site
https://education.ti.com/en/us/software/search

I download Nspire rom, and it does not work with your emulator. So your emulator does not support ROM from this site?

Thank you and kind regards
