Anybody find any good software to rotate your screen display? Excel files and web pages suck to view in the horizontal format!
Only decent one I found so far: http://www.nyditot.com/
I've tried that program, and really didnt care for it.
It messed to many things up on me

No rotate!
Yea, messed mine up too... was very cool for IE and Excel but totally screwy otherwise. Bummer... don't feel like paying Thunderhawk subscription for horizontal IE.

I am having a weird problem pictures are not rotating automatically when i rotate the phone. Sometime when i rotate the phone pictures goes blank. No matter whatever rom i use. My G sensor seems to work perfectly with other application i.e. teeter, opera and Calibration working as well. I tried to changed to interval value 150 ms but no luck. Anyone have anyidea? I tried few different rom no luck either. thanks in advance.
Hi, this is not the proper forum to discuss this particular inquiry. Have you tried the search button?
You may try changescreen or G-Config

What version of Album did you cook into your ROM? If it's version 3.0, the behaviour has changed.
The Album menu options will rotate but the image will stay in it's original photographed rotation - i.e. portrait or landscape.
hilaireg.... Thank you very much... I was wondering why menu was rotating not tha pictures? Got the answer.
Hello All,
So I am running CM 7.0.3 and have the netflix app running through a friend whom gave me a special APK. When I load the application all of the pictures appear on the screen and I can load video and playback is great (even without the hardware acceleration, though the tablet gets a touch warm). The problem is the information such as names, length and short description do not appear. The application itself actually only appears in portait mode with the soft keys at the top.
I was hoping to find out if this is a restriction set by the CM system and if its modifiable. My Engadget, Joystick and a few other news apps act the same way and it would be fantastic to get it into landscape mode. I am also hoping that getting this into landscape may fix the issue with the netflix text display issues. Otherwise thankfully I can usually tell what I am watching from the picture, but I'm a bit of a perfectionist.
Anyhow, If anyone knows if there's a way to change this please let me know and I would love to try it out.
Thanks!

I just installed VeganTab ginger edition. Everything is working. The only beef I have is the screen of course, but I noticed that it looks much better upside down and I can get better viewing from this angle. Is there any way to flip the screen upside down? Maybe an app or a setting somewhere? It looks a lot better upside down. thanks.
Hmmm, not sure how upside down will be better but go to Settings/Display and deselect auto-rotate screen... Turn it over...

Upside cown IS better. what he means is have the screen flip 180 degrees, so that the buttons are now on the left, and the power/volume on the right.
I'm not sure how Vegan ginger works, but most roms/launchers do allow for autorotate. The problem is, some apps won't follow your rules. If you have autorotate on, then you can justify your home screeens, app drawer, etc. simply by flipping the tablet around. Some apps prefer to work in portrait, so they won't be able to be used in landscape. Other apps (death worm) automatically load upside down, so for you, it would load normally. Most bideo players will only load in the default landscape position, and won't help you out.
The other issue, is that with the buttons in the palm of your left hand, they accidentally get pressed a lot...That's my one complaint with deathworm, I have to hold my hand above the tablet, while moving around with my finger...my wrist/arm gets tired after a while...simply because I don't want to accidentally hit back, or home.
Yea. I think all of the rom makers should include an option to load it all upside down (you know what i mean). I cant find any app that can do it.
Interesting. It looks like if you hold it "upside down," you get better viewing angles with the tablet held parallel the the ground, but if you hold it right side up, you get better viewing angles with the tablet held perpendicular to the ground. So if it's sitting flat on a table, yeah, you can see the screen much more clearly if the camera-side of the tablet is closest to you. But if it's sitting on a stand at a steep angle, you'll want it right side up. (This is all assuming you're holding it in landscape orientation. In portrait, it doesn't seem to make a difference.)
aha! found it under settings->vegantab settings->display then just enable "rotate 180 degrees". however I do not recomend it for general use because the home,menu,etc. and even power buttons get in the way too much. But for watching movies etc it is much better rotating it in the upside down orientation with this enabled.

There is an app that let's you disable the buttons...I can't remember what it's called, as I've never used it. But that might come in handy, as long as you have corresponding softbuttons as well.
Has anyone found an app or method to stretch the comic page to completely fit the screen? When I choose "fit to screen" it has large black spaces on either side. I am looking for a way to utilize all my screen space without it shrinking the comic down to the size of say, the Nook Tablet. I guess the image would have to be stretched somewhat. Anyone know what i'm talking about ?
I haven't tried on the Touchpad yet, but on my Nook I would always use the "fit to width" option, then there is just some vertical scrolling needed. Of course, that has a smaller screen too so I would need to read in landscape mode and scroll for each row of panels. It still worked pretty well though.
I bought my touchpad just to read comics on. If your describing what I think you are, its because most comics are not the exact size of the screen so when your in portrait mode there's about a half inch of blank space so its just black. If you stretched the comic it would probably look weird.

That was one of my reasons for buying a TP too.
On PV for example, when you choose "actual size" it spreads past the left/right borders I would just love it to stay when it hits them so I can utilize all my screen space and not have to scroll. It would be stretching the image I guess but it doesn't look weird because I can do it if I zoom manually, but I have to do so for every page, thus, scrolling. I am not sure if there are other issues such as resolution complicating the problem. It's like the cropping issue on wallpapers - I just don't have the knowledge to identify what the problem is exactly. The correct borders aren't being detected. It seems to happen on every app. The "fit to screen" function thinks the black space is part of the comic.
It's not a huge deal I would just love to find a method to stretch the image to fit perfectly. Would gladly pay for it.
I use comic rack and when it's in landscape mode and I put it on single page, the page fits automatically width wise, doesn't go past. I just scroll up and down, don't need to go left/right to see cut off images. It's that what you're trying to achieve? Same thing goes with PV for me. Width wise the page fits

Perfect viewer works very well for me for all of the comics I've read. I fit to width and just have to touch to scroll once to get the last inch or so and then to turn the page. Works great with the TP as there seems to be minimal distortion of the panels with its aspect ratio.
Yes that is what I am using (fit to width). It is almost perfect but yeah, you gotta tap the page to get the extra height.
I am guessing this is some technical problem, as I have yet to see any reading app that can fill the page on both the width and height exactly. Yet, when I read PDF magazines on Perfect Viewer, it squeezes the image into the screen and I can read it easily.
Maybe it's the comic resolution or something (though I have tested multiple).
I don't see it not fitting vertically an issue. If everything did fit on the page sometimes the words would be too small to read. I use the TP in landscape mode all the time, I like viewing pages that way better.

Most of this was I answered above, recently referencing how PV delas with PDF's, squeezing it onto the screen.
Can't fathom reading comics in landscape mode as this would make them even bigger than most physical comics, and only allow you like 1 strip per read.
Hey guys
First time poster, long time reader.
Basically I was wondering if anyone else thought SOME the motion options for the SIII were abit, shall we say, crap?
The double tap for the top of a list doesnt work on anything but stock apps??
The swipe to screenshot is very cool, but often I swipe to a different page before the shot has taken.
Also the waving infront of the screen to silence music is questionable.
The only ones that are decent IMO are the one where where your on a contact and put it to your ear and it calls, thats cool, and the turning the phone over to silence.
Anyone else notice this? Any tips on getting them to work better?
Yeah some seem to be a huge flop, I like the screenshot one and the camera unlock, You could always try recalibrating your G-sensor to make it more accurate. The way I look at it is most of it's really a novelty and is more annoying than good.
Whats the camera unlock one?
Ill give the sensor recalibrate a go, see if it helps
The unlock into camera is rather useful, it works by clicking your power button once on your phone to show you your lock-screen. then you put one finger on the screen and turn the phone from portrait to landscape and the phone unlocks into the camera application. this has its limitations still, for instances you can't make it unlock into a third party camera application and if you have a motion, face, PIN or no lock it will not work.
