iPhone 5 to iPhone 4 question

Good news-- after two months, I have finally finished my first game! While I am very eager to submit to the app store, I want to make it available on the iPhone 4 as well (and have it take up the entire screen). Basically, I want to just cut off only the top part of my portrait game when converting it to iPhone 4. I've looked at many universal build threads, but couldn't find the answer I am looking for. Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
EDIT: I would also move down the score and pause button when cropping out the top part of my game.

To make overscan only crop off the top of your game, put an unlocked actor in your scene and inside it make a rule:
When scene.camera.size.height = 480
Change attribute scene.camera.origin.y to -44
It shouldn't squish anything since it's just moving the camera view down, I tested it and it worked for me to crop the top of screen.
When you test your game in GameSalad with the preview button, up the top left you will see a drop down list, select iPhone legacy, then another drop down list will appear, click crop in that one. I have attached a photo of what it should look like.
If you can attach some photos of your problem it will be easier to figure out your problem.
As for your question about iPad, it is better to start your project as an iPad one and have it scale down to iPhone. If you make an iPhone game then scale it up to iPad the graphics will be blurry.
