Use letterbox mode to keep aspect ratio. Logical resolution 480x800 Use images 2x and setScale(0.5) for rendering. For backgrounds images add 60 in the X-axis and 90 in the Y-axis and set the image to starting in (-30, -45).
for background images, I would recommend using larger bg, as 600x860 and set anchor point 0.5, 0.5 and position it in the middle of the screen, so it will cover all possible whitespaces
i used the same method recommended by @ar2rsawseen and it worked very well for me - I tested on ipad 3, iphone 5 and nexus 5 - app looked great on all devices with minimum efforts.

You can set letterbox in your project properties (right click on the project name in Gideros Studio and select properties):
