AVD Galaxy S6, huge icons and fonts issue

Question

I am creating an AVD for a Galaxy S6. I have downloaded the skin and followed the instructions at the Samsung Developer site:

developer.samsung.com/technical-doc/view.do?v=T000000095

However, when I fire up my AVD, the fonts and icons are just massive and its unusable. Please see the screenshots for my config and what it looks like.

How it displays

Not sure what I am doing wrong here. Is there some settings with Resolution or Density that I need to change to get it to display properly?

I've tried a couple of things.

1. If I don't select the downloaded skin from the Skin dropdown (I just select Skin with dynamic hardware controls) it displays a little bit better. However for testing I want to nail the exact dimensions of the Galaxy S6.

2. I've tried selecting the Scale display to real size when I fire up the AVD but this only makes the actual AVD window smaller, does nothing to the actual Galaxy S6 screen size.

My machine is Windows 7, running on a 1920 x 1200 monitor.

Answer 1

Changing the scale didn't show up on Android Studio for macOS, the solution for me was

Tools > Android > AVD Manager

Samsung Galaxy S6 (AVD) > Edit Icon (Edit this AVD) > Show Advanced Settings > Device Frame > Uncheck: [] Enable Device Frame > Finish

reboot AVD and the scale on your Samsung Galaxy S6 should be normal.
