I would really like to shift a couple apps, most importantly the Yahoo Fantasy Football app into landscape mode on my TP. Seriously, portrait mode is such a drag with the hp stand-case i am using, i'd rather leave it on my lap propped up in landscape.
Anyone have any idea how to achieve this? a way to edit the app? Is there an app that can do this?
I don't care if the app doesn't fill the entire screen in landscape, i just want it rotated for easier use.

I was wondering if there was a way to "lock down" rotation so that the landscape orientation would always be such that that the LCD buttons were always to the right in landscape and to the bottom when the phone was rotated to portrait.
Any ideas or Apps that I've missed?
To lock to landscape just turn off orientation in settings ....to lock to portrait. Use adw launcher and select system persistent

Not the question he asked
The O/P wants to keep landscape/portrait ability but limit it to one direction only. For example the port is always the screen bottom in landscape and always the left side in portrait.
Exactly... I want to be able to lock the streak/ui down to only one portait and one landscape... basically establish to fixed "tops" and then use the accelerometer to swotch between those two. Is that possible in 2.2.
Btw, what's "o/p"?

Hi guys, I am using my keyboard dock quite often, but I have one or two apps that are not natively made for a tablet. The facebook app, for example, works in landscape mode without a problem. There are a few other non-tablet apps on the other hand, that will only run in portrait mode, which is quite annoying (and it looks rather stupid when you turn your head just to read on your screen...)
Is there any way to force these apps to run in landscape mode as well?
Okay, I'm installing the View in place of the Samsung Galaxy Tab that is in the dash of my car right now, but for ease of access to the power button, I need it rotated to REVERSE LANDSCAPE.
For some reason, the View will only go into Landscape if you turn it counter clockwise from Portrait.
Any help here?

Try "rotation locker"
Once in your homescreen and with the rotation you prefer press the widget and lock it. Every app will be forced to show in that orientation.
Thank you, but the problem is you can't get it into the rotation I need.
Hold your View/Flyer in portrait, and then turn it clockwise. It stays in portrait.
Yeah it seems to only rotate ways in which the Capacative buttons are located. Maybe a DEV can unlock that feature?
I'd hope so. I found an app that will do it, but you have to LOCK it in that position. Not a problem for what I'm using it for, but still, not optimal.
Orientation Control is the app I found.
This is a minor annoyance but sometimes I just want to open my camera app and browse photos while my phone is laying on my desk, but when I open the camera app it automatically goes landscape mode and I have to pick the phone up to get it back to portrait. Any body know of a way to cancel this auto-landscape feature in the camera app?
Edit: Just realized I could just go to the "photos" app directly and bypass the camera. This opens in portrait. But also adds another icon to my homescreen. I'd like to just use the camera icon for all of this, so still would like to hear any ideas anyone has
In settings > display and gestures do you have Auto rotation checked?
Mine opens in portrait.
On my Tab S7+, if I use Moon+ Reader or any other reading app, the page turns yellow. If I have a YouTube popout video video playing, the page will stay white until I close the window. Does anybody know if there's a way to fix this or is there an app that stays on top of other windows but is smaller than the YouTube window? I know I can use multi-window mode and resize it but it would be nice to just open an app to have vivid stay on. Or, is there a way to enable rotation in Dex? The yellowing doesn't occur in Dex mode but the tablet only works in landscape with Dex.
P.S. If anybody feels like making an app that floats over other apps but is transparent or tiny, that would be great.
