On my Galaxy Tab P7510, I'm running GALAXY TASK 13.1 Slim with Pershoot's kernel.
Some tablet cases place the Galaxy Tab upside down when it is stood up in the 80 degree angle. This proves an issue for youtube as it won't play videos upside down.
Is it possible to force youtube to flip the video upside down so it is watchable when the tablet is in the case and stood up, upside down?
Anyone got an idea?
YouTube works fine upside down. I'm on one of the cm9 kangs. Can you browse upside down? If not maybe your screen orientation is locked.
I have same issue buddy. I don't know if there is a fix for it.

Then that has to be enabled by CM9. I do not have the screen orientation locked. I can fully browse upside down but when I hit the expand button (the one with the 4 diagonal arrows) it flips the video right side up, no matter the previous orientation.

I run dailyroads voyager as dashcam. My sgs2 is seated in the carholder in the left corner of the front window, allowing the cables to be neatly stuffed away behind my doorrubbers.
But: this means I can only rotate the phone counter-clockwise. This is not supported by dailyroads voyager (or any other dashcam-app). They'll just display clockwise landscape, rendering the buttons etcetera upsidedown...
Is there any way to force counter clockwise? I read about it being implemented in some custom rom for another phone...

Anybody knows how to force counter-clockwise landscape?
I do hope someone replies here because I'd like the same thing. When I play games or hold the phone in landscape, my fingers usually end up covering the speaker. Forcing a counter-clockwise landscape orientation would be great. To the OP, I've looked around myself and haven't found anything.

Found it mentioned in Cyanogenmod... It is on it's way for the SGS2, so maybe if we wait just a little bit longer we can finally rotate counterclockwise (or left landscape versus right landscape, or 270 degrees, or whatever people call it).
Just can't be that hard, now can I it? Really no-one with an easy solution here?
Actually I would like to have 90 degrees landscape, I have by default 270 degrees rotation. This is annoyng because when I play games light sensor is in bottom left corrner. I put my finger over the light sensor and screen goes dark becasue my phone thinks that it is in the dark area. I don't know if I remember correctly but in the first run wizard it was set up. But I don't know where to change it now.
That's exactly what we want too... You're talking about the same

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.
The HTC Evo View rotates portrait and if you turn it counter-clockwise it obviously rotates that way since the buttons line up along the bottom there. But I have a situation where I want it to rotate clockwise when I am watching a movie because I use the flap on my case to hook onto a corner bar and hang it to watch a movie. Is there a way to enable rotation in both directions?

This has been asked before, but I will answer it again. Yes, this is "possible" but no , no one has taken the time to modify a ROM so it can be done.
You would have to persuade one of the developers to put this option into a ROM.
I would say Lee of LeeDroid fame would be a good one to start with .
Right now, when you connect the Galaxy S III to a TV, it'll display the video in whatever orientation the S3 is currently in. For example, when you hold the phone vertically, it shows up as portrait on the TV (with black spaces on either side), and when the phone is held horizontally, the TV displays landscape video.
Since I have a screen that can rotate, I want to make it so that the video that the Galaxy S III displays will always fill the screen. As in, when the S3 is held vertically, the video it displays fills the whole screen without the black spaces (if you were watching it on a TV, it would appear sideways).
Is this possible? I know that on the iPhone there's an app on Cydia called Landscape TV Out, which always outputs the video in landscape (thus filling the screen). That's what I'm looking for.
If an app is possible but it doesn't exist, I'm willing to pay for one to be made.
To clarify, I've attached two pictures that show what the S3 outputs by default and what I need it to look like in portrait.
I've searched through the GT-i9300 and SGH-i747 source code, but I haven't found anything (maybe I'm not looking for the right thing?)
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Hi people, I bought a generic tablet. A Boxchip [email protected] 1.2Ghz, GPU Mali400,, 512Ram.. etc.
The thing is I flashed it with a compatible rom, but some configurations are wrong.
I got wrong button mapping, and aI solved it, but Not the strangest thing happens... it seems the configuration of rotation is allways a step behind.
What do I mean? Well.. having 4 possible positons (Portrait, Upside down portrait, Landscape and Upside down landscape),
When I put it n the poision of landscape, the screen rotates to upside down portrait. In upside down portrait to upside down landscape, in upside down landsacpe goes to portrait, and in portrait it goes to landscape. It's driving me nuts! haha I temporarily disabled rotation, but It's a nice thing to have enabled..
In conclusion, It seems the configuration somehow maps the position +90 degrees clockwise more than it should.
Where is it maped? can somebody help me? THanks.
Check your settings, there must Ann option to calibrate your sensor.
Once you can find that option, your problem is solved
Swyped from my Samsung Galaxy SII
Hi. Thanks for answering!
Mhm.. I've double checked settings.. there is none to calibrate that =/
I have had the exact same thing on a tablet I bought for my son, did you ever resolve it?
