  You can always choose stretch from properties to prevent white areas.
  If i were you;
  -I will support the most used android devices as a base like;
  Samsung S3, Samsung Galaxy Note 2, HTC One X, HTC desired HD, Nexus
  -And for IOS it is much more easy hence the resolutions are not vary like android devices.
  
  In my own opinion it is always much more better to release tablet and phone programs separately so do not try to support all in one program. Do your tablet version separate and name it xxx for tablets or xxx HD etc..

  on your Gideros IDE, right click your project, select Properties. You will see Logical Dimension (ex: 320 x 480). That is base size of your current application.
  
  so when Gideros run your application, it will check the height and width of current running device. If device width are larger (than 320px as example above) Gideros will looking for @2x images to load.

  Try it out:

  Here is a great topic on this discussion:

  Basically you create the image, that would be the size to cover all resolution, and in smaller ratios allow it to go outside the screen.

  hey thnx for reply,
  
  Logical dimensions 480x800
  Automatic scaling: Letterbox.
  
  local bgTexture = Texture.new("images/bg.jpg", true)
  local bg = Bitmap.new(bgTexture)
  --set position in center
  bg:setAnchorPoint(0.5, 0.5)
  bg:setPosition(width/2, height/2)
