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?

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.
SO i got HC and love how i can use my Scribe pen to make notes and highlight with in the reader app. But can it not go into landscape mode when in a book? or is it just the books that I have.
It seems strange the all of the UX will work in landscape but as soon as i open any of my books it flips to portriat mode??? I have check all through settings in app and i see no other option to force landscape........am i missing something?
FYI I don't care if its just single column i just want to read with my landscape only case. This thing is too heavy to read with it in portrait with no stand.

Peace RamboDroid,
Since no one was courteous enough to respond (it seems this forum is the worse when it comes to helping someone out)---the answer is no. Thats the only thing I dont like about the Reader app--which look-wise is amazing--especially the widget. But yea..it doesnt go in landscape mode unfortunately
peace

Didn't the scribe pen always work with the Reader app? Even in GB?
Yep

I have a 4.4.4 phone with hard navigation keys. All the apps I have tried like this do not provide an auto lock 2 mode for portrait and landscape only.
Is there such an app?
Why allow the annoying reverse landscape? My Droid Maxx forbids reverse portrait!
Even if I did have navigation keys that moved with the screen, I have the power and volume buttons assigned to tasks so I never use reverse modes.
I have tried out most of them and reverse portrait is the only excluded mode.
Is it that the android code does not allow such discretion?
Thanks for your consideration.
Or in other words, are the apps using pre coded routines so whatever stock allows in auto mode the apps do too?
Please, can someone tell me of what use reverse landscape is for?
I do not get it.
I put this as an android peeve similar to how the dialer defaults to the contact pic rather than keypad once a call is placed. What damn use is the contact pic?
Is there a peeves thread?

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.
