Hmm... You need to separate pixel density scaling from layout management. mobilePixelDensity is only about the pixel density and has nothing to do with the aspect ratio. The scaling only needs to happen once at startup but the layout management may need respond to orientation changes etc so resizeStack and preOpenCard...
