Ok, vudroid not Full Screen on Samsung; I rebuilt the Java part with 2.1 SKD 
and repackaged it, it works full screen on Augen 78 from KMart once rebulit.

The problem with Samsung Galaxy Tab in the size of the screen. It is 1200*600 
and 7'.  It looks like the program works in the full screen mode omly with the 
size of screen not more then 800*480.

Actually the bug is in the Android itself. Looks like applications built 
against 1.5 sdk have upper screen resolution limit. I think I'll start new 
development branch for 2.1 soon and hence this bug should be fixed.

the problrm could be resolved via using "Spare parts" - programm from android 
market.
the refference and instruction is here:

Рецепт для того, чтобы исправить некоторые 
программы, отображающиеся на Таб не в 
полный экран. Найден здесь:

Для не владеющих инглишем, пересказываю по 
русски:
1. Скачиваем с Маркета прогу Spare Parts
2. Запускаем ее и ищем в ней строчку "compatibility 
mode". Если галка на ней не установлена, 
устанавливаем. Если уже установлена - 
снимаем и устанавливаем снова.
3. перегружаем аппарат.
4. Снова запускаем Spare Parts и теперь уже 
снимаем галку на "compatibility mode".
5. Снова презагрузка.
6. Пользуемся и радуемся!...

Проверено на самой Spare Parts и ICQ Live... 

pavel, it should be enough to add some attributes to the android manifest to 
tell android that you support larger screens. 1.5 ignores them.

Ijust did that in my app and now it fills the screen of my galaxy tab and still 
works on 1.5.

see this page for a description and a list of attributes:
http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/screens_support.html

you will however need to update the sdk version you use from 1.5 but the app 
can still remain compatible with 1.5 devices.

Thanks for useful link. I think issue fixed in 1.3 but it should be verified.

Vudroid now uses the entire screen on my galaxy tab.
However I believe the rendering is slower now...
(i haven't actually compared this scientifically, but it appears slower and I 
can see it render a little square at a time).

I have changed tile division threshold. This change can cause more rendering 
tiles and hence some performance degradation. Also as now VuDroid uses all of 
your screen it should render images with bigger resolution than earlier.
