This is the solution for many who has old , outdated apps who is not the resolution you want it to be.

Note: There are free alternatives out as well. Screen Extender for an example!
Warning: This free alternative needs a respring for it to work properly.

But with this tweak it's gonna make all the apps to be forced in fullscreen.

There's also a new free tweak on the BigBoss repo called Screen Extender that purports to do the same thing.
 
Just installed Screen Extender and I'm gonna try it out. It's free thats why I got it instead of FullForce but I'll see how it works in terms of stabillity.

Anyhow - do you think Screen Extender will work on GBA.emu or gpsPhone?

I mean, it should right?

Atm I can't try because gba.emu is unlisted from Cydia store.

Bought Fullforce, and went into cydia right after to look at more tweaks, the next update there were two free alternatives :( makes me a sad panda :(

IDK about Screen Extender, but with fullforce, nearly all non-iP5 apps look sexy and better. n64ios looks, ehrm, worse though.

Look at the bottom white box, also FullForce allow you to ennable per app basis, are the other alternatives having that feature?

I'm sorry, I will add that in the info. But still, I don't know the difference between the free/paid alternatives.

Did you try Fullforce for iPad. Its identical in how its applied, settings and so on.

Personally I use retinapad my self cause the graphical glitches and artifacts that Fullforce can have going from iPhone from iPad.

I loved Fullforce for iPhone though, just wish I waited 1 more minute to see and checkout the free alternatives.

I just bought FullForce and uninstalled Screen Extender.


ScreenExtender wasn't working properly. Several apps didn't work (and yes, I marked them in settings) - as a matter of fact, none of them did.

So , 0,99 cent for this beatiful tweak makes me warm. Well spent money. Intelliscreenx was 9,99 so in comparison this was really worth the money.

Tried "Flight Control" and it was amazing. I'm gonna use this tweak when I play on my gba.emu which should arrive as soon as I can pay Robert...

Edit: I haven't got an iPad!

Thanks, id make you my best friend now for making an otherwise very exausting day much better :D
 
With screen extender, you need to respring after setting an app to "on" then upon the next launch, it will maximize.

True.

I just did that to an app I wanted to extend, and upon respring it worked... well sort of... there were still black bars showing, but less than before. SFXT was the app I was testing.
 
Which one and why?

Some apps looks weird in vertical stretch. But if you try Flight control for an example it looks absolutley proffesional. No doubt.

Like I stare at the top of my iPhone feels like it's missing a piece or the status bar is just black lol just feels awkward and weird for me.
 
Like Messages for example lol I feel my screen is missing a top part, it's more of a mental thing than anything else since I'm so used to having the status bar there.

Like messages? Wtf? You enabled FullForce on a already working application for iPhone 5?
Thats pretty stuppeed if u ask me. :D
