All the diallers I found (nubdial, dialler one) had this issue where the screen is turned by 90 degrees from what it should be.
thanks

It's good but I find I had to go back to the stock dialer because of my fat fingers. Using the phone in landscape makes the buttons very small.

Here's a small .zip file that will remap your search button to open Camera.apk
Flash the .zip in recovery. There is also a .zip to revert to stock as well. Enjoy!
Sweet, thanks. That's gonna make life a lot easier!

Works perfectly
Its working most of the time but sometimes the camera comes up but its just a black screen and sometimes it says Camera failed. All in all it works most of the time. Nice work!
great find thatdudebutch! I see that the concept behind it is pretty flexible, have you tried running any other programs with the softkeys?

Yeah I just tried it about twenty times in a row and no blank screen. Wonder what the deal is? Camera in fact opens quicker remapped to search IMO.

I get the camera failed error/black screen about every other time I start hit search, kind of causes a momentary phone freeze. Thanks for your work on this though, its an awesome idea.

its weird man, ive been pressing it all day and it loads every time, sorry maybe if you got a second some time you can connect phone to adb and run a logcat while hitting the button so we can see what the problem is

Has anyone found a screen off/lock app or widget that properly works with the Atrix? I have tried Extended Controls, Widgetsoid, and Screen Off and Lock. They all "work" in a sense but they also take you to the "Stock" lock screen before actually turning the screen off.
I used to use Screen Off and Lock, but it stopped working correctly with 2.3.4. I deleted it.

Below is a link to 'Elixir' in the Market. Give it a try, see if that's what your looking for. One of its widget shortcuts has a 'Screen Off' function.

*Edit*
After looking more at this app it won't do what your looking for. The developer says there's is a new version coming soon, so maybe then it will have that feature.

Same issue. All those apps mentioned by the OP worked beautifully before 2.3.4. I really had gotten used to just pressing a widget instead of the awkward fingerprint-reader-power-button. Now they just throw you to the lockscreen.
I hope they figure out a fix.

After an update, Screen off and Lock quit. It would lock the screen, but no off, even after a long time. Uninstalled and reinstalled it. Works fine again!
But, it does take you to the system shutdown screen first!

Looks like I found a simple little Widget that works well. You can give it a try see if its what your looking for. I just put the widget on my home screen, when it's pressed it goes in to a 5 second count and then shuts the screen of completely.

ditto. It's just like pressing the power button to lock.
That's good news, I guess all it takes is getting rid of Blur

The close tab "x" in the stock browser is not working most of the time when in landscape orientation. I have to turn the tablet to portrait orientation to be able to close the tab.
I installed multitouch test apps and they are able to track my fingertips over the entire display perfectly so I don't think it's a hardware issue.
Is anyone else experiencing anything similar?

Yes I do. When I unplug, I am able to close the tabs normally in any orientation. I was testing this when you posted.

Greetings,
Today my Razr XT910 is showing a weird behavior. The screen is not rotating. The option to auto rotate is enabled, but the phone does not rotate.
Tried a Bubble app and it is not marking any movement.
I installed AndoSensor to check everything and the app reports the accelerometer flawlessly. The screen even ROTATES inside the app! When I close the app, even with the device in landscape and the screen perfectly rotated, the phone goes back to portrait mode and nothing else detects the movement.
It´s a brand new phone (got it last tuesday) Im using ICS stock, rooted.
Any ideas?

Is it possible using app like setting datebase editor to change setting to allow full 360 rotation on a non rooted/bootloader locked phone?
I'm currently using auto rotation app which can and is working fine, but I hate the fact it shows in notifications, (if you don't keep notifications system kills the app and won't fully rotate).
I have had a look at setting datedase editor but can't see anything directly but I as I'm not that tech knowledgeable I could be missing something in the app.
I have used this app to disable touch mode(when top sensor is coved by hand/case)
Any advice help much appreciated.
Thanks.

Could you give me a little more details.
I have it set to rotate but it doesn't rotate complete 360° unless I use rotation app.
Sorry I surely misunderstanding you.
On my side rotation didn't works on home screen but on app yes.
In fact I didn't test 360. It's more 90 then for me.
And home rotation works for samsung.
I did notice that if app is rotated in landscape and I'm going to home I can see that home is correctly rotated for less than one sec so it can works but Huawei is bugged or it's intentional.
On my mate 10 pro it was worked on first earlier firmware and was broken quickly after.
On mate 20 pro it's never worked.
On Nova launcher for ex it's works.
Tapatalk
I also see the correctly rotated screen for a second!
