Even Album Art is Truncated in 154 and not zoomed to Aspect Ratio it shows first two lines correctly, which makes widget satisfying.

Attached picture.

Fixed now playing views - better handling of low res screens.

Btw. currently there are less than 5% of devices with small screens.

Widgets:

All our widgets have set it's minimum dimensions. But there are launchers that do not respect it and allow resizing to any size.

You can try it with any widget that it cannot adapt completely.

Generally it is not possible to completely control the size of components of widget because it is a RemoteView and it doesn't support custom programmatically changeable components (as in app UI).

In Your case, there is a problem in number of rows and columns in your launcher. You have 4x4 but the desktop is not a square. You should adjust it. But this is one of reasons why most launchers do not have screen rotation by default.

We can add new universal widget (e.g. to 1.2) that will contain all our widgets and it's layout will change with it's size. This is quite common now but it is supported since Android 3.1.
