[Q] Change pictures aspect ratio from 4:3 to 16:9 batch mode - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello Guys:
I have thousands of pictures on my phone in 4:3 aspect ratio that I'd like to transform into 16:9, it doesn't matter if final image is cropped at the top or bottom, however I'm having a hardtime finding an app that does exactly that, every single app I tried only does 1 at a time which is not very convenient.
Does anyone know about an app like that?

[Q] Camera app with format depending on orientation

Hello,
I'm looking for a camera application which makes photos using 16:9 format when they are horizontal and 4:3 when they are vertical. I like seeing the photos without the black sidebands on PC / TV, and it would help minizing it. Does anyone know some app?
Thanks!

[Q] Pictures taken with Camera are not the same size

Hi, the size of picture taken does not match what I see in the camera app, and by size I don't mean image size on disk or resolution.
Basically, what I see "through the lens", as in, what I see on screen when I open the camera app, is slightly smaller than what I get when I take a picture and view it in Gallery. It seems the camera is capturing a little more than what's shown to me on the phone screen. It's pretty annoying when you line up a nice shot only to have the picture taken framed slightly larger than what you saw on screen.
Anyone else have this problem?
I'm using CM10.2.0 stable for i9300, clean install (wipe system, data, cache, preload), with stock CM10.2 camera and gallery.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

What you see on screen in AOSP camera is 16:9 and camera sensor is 4:3, so you have an answer
You can shoot in 6MP 16:9 if you want exactly the same.

Thank you so much.
Do you mean that the camera only shoots 4:3 in 8MP? Is this because 8MP is its native resolution so it matches the camera as 4:3?
Is there any way I could take advantage of the 8MP camera but have it shoot in 16:9?

Exactly. Camera is able to shoot in 4:3 in 8MP mode. Basically it's an industry standard. Almost all cameras (from iPhone to even entry level DSLRs) shoot in 4:3. Other popular standards are 3:2 and 5:4. 16:9 is used mostly by cinematography.

No. Either you have to choose 8MP 4:3 or 6MP 16:9.
6MP 16:9 would be nothing more than cropped 8MP picture to maintain 16:9 ratio.

[MOD][XPOSED] XAspect - adjust aspect ratio

Occasionally an app displays content in the wrong aspect ratio. For instance, the SuperFilm.pl app stretches movies to fit the screen regardless of the movie's original aspect ratios and the Little Big Adventure port stretches the 4:3 video of the original game to whatever your device screen is.
XAspect lets you force a particular aspect setting for an app. A number of common aspect ratios are included, and one can also set a custom one.
This is beta test quality software, so use at your own risk.

I just posted an update with custom aspect ratio support.
Works great. Fixes ScummVm. Thanks for putting in the work.
Glad to hear it! I suspect some developers think it's more important to fill the screen than to preserve aspect ratio, and that's why my module was needed.
The scummvm docs say there is an option to preserve adjust ratio.
Nice module!!

10MP Main camera...

If you select 40MP in the awful camera app it will disable a lot of features, so i'll shot 10MP photos which can not fill out a 4k 16:9 screen. This fact and that you can't select the 16:9 format in the camera app bothers me since i usually display the photos on a screen. I haven't seen it mentioned much in reviews or by users, but does it bother anyone else?
The standard ratio of images in mobile camera app is 4:3 due to its sensor size, DSLR is using 3:2, you need to crop it to 16:9 using built-in editor or any 3rd party editing tools. I think action cam is the only gadget that uses 16:9 ratio

Just click the 3:4 icon and it will toggle between 3:4, 9:16, full-screen setting.
