I ended up using Android Studio. They have an interface where you can adjust the zoom.
I'm having trouble trying to implement the new adapted icons for Android. Both foreground and background images are appearing zoomed in on device.
I double checked the sizes and even tried copy-pasting the template icons provided on new projects, but they're also giving the problem.
I'm using the latest daily build
Anyone?
Icons may seem zoomed in, because of cropping. Usually background image can be discarded and only circular center part of foreground would remain with various cropping settings. Please, check our guide and links in it: https://docs.coronalabs.com/guide/distribution/androidResources/index.html

It has a real example from one of my games showing where Adaptive Icons can do very bad things to icons designed for games. When you see this, it will help you understand why you need some padding around your core art.
You simply don't know what shaped mask the device maker is going to provide. You don't know how much you're going to get zoomed. You can't predict what kind of animation they may want to add. Google's guide lines are quite helpful and if you look at many of the modern icons that come with Android devices they are on solid backgrounds.
