Automatic 4:3 ↔ 16:9 switching on Retroid Pocket Nova

I automated the Nova’s display resolution when connecting a TV — no root required.

Setup:
Tasker
Shizuku
Android Wireless Debugging / ADB

Tasker profiles:

HDMI connected → 16:9
Tasker → Profiles → State → Hardware → HDMI Connected
Tasker → Run Shell → Shizuku as default
wm size 1080x1920

HDMI disconnected → 4:3
Tasker → Profiles → State → Hardware → HDMI Connected (inverted)
Tasker → Run Shell → Shizuku as default
wm size reset

I added a 2-second delay after the HDMI event to let the display initialize.

Result:
Handheld: 1280×960 / 4:3
TV: 1920×1080 / 16:9

Everything switches automatically when connecting/disconnecting the USB-C dock / TV. No root, no manual switching.
