I just bought a Transformer Prime and am going to be putting it into a portfolio with the dock on the right. Unfortunately this means apps that are native portrait will open upside down.
Did you try Rotation Locker ? - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1412752

As wm6.5 via titanium offers a great UI even for landscape, and as the qwerty/z keys are really small in portrait mode i'm looking for an application that would switch screen orientation to landscape on sliding the keyboard in and to portrait when sliding out (in fact it actually changes to portrait, when i'm sliding the keyboard out, thats why i need something that changes sr to landscape when i slide back in)...
Anyone knows some app?
Maybe you could mix up the screen rotate tool from here:

... with the advanced tab of the SLIDE ACTION app:

works perfectly!
When using my Archos 70, I find out that the screen orientation is somehow strange.
1st - I like to use it in portrait. However, I cannot make the screen 'lock' to portrait orientation. The 'lock' feature only supports landscape orientation
2nd - Even in portrait mode, when using some apps, the orientation is inverted (such as z4root). Seems Archos makes the default portrait position to be like 'power button at the bottom and the USB at the top). However..... I think most of you will agree that we all like the power button AT THE TOP.
So, is there a way to fix the orientation (default) to portrait, with power button at the top?
Thanks for your help.
1. Yes lock is Landscape, that has to do with the stand.
2. This has to do with the way android works. Normaly view is stopped and started again with the new orientation by the os. But the developer can tell Android that it handöes this switch itself and then the app is responsible for thee switching.
So there is no way atm to change this.
Whenever I use an application (on my A101) that only works in portrait mode, the power button is always at the top.
So far I have tried with Twonky and z4root.
edit: oh, and I believe some of the launchers available will let you lock screen in portrait mode ... try Launcher Pro or ADW
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.
Some apps launch automatically in portrait mode on Honeycomb. Is there a way to flip this 180? The reason is I will be buying a portfolio for my Transformer Prime.
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?
