[Q] HDMI output to force landscape for games - Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime

I just download nba jam. only because i wanna use my prime with my dock and a x360 controller to play it. but when i plug in my hdmi cable it displays vertically on the tv but landscape on my prime. what gives? is there any way around it so i can force landscape on my tv??

Sadly I think this is something EA did wrong with NBA JAM. If you load the game on your Prime you will notice your android statusbar (back, home, recent apps buttons, and clock) move as if the Prime has gone into portrait mode, but then displays the game in landscape. My guess is EA used a portrait layout then rotated it 90 degrees when developing the game. I always thought it was really weird when my statusbar moved every time I launched the game, but to me your post about the HDMI output issue kind of confirms what is going wrong. There are also a lot of comments on Google Play making reference to the fact that this game was ported directly from the iOS version, which might explain the wierd rotation / layout issues.

ahhh i see. and the direct ios port is so true. i went into the apk with root explorer to see if i can if i can change anything and a lot of the names of files in it had "ios,iphone,ipad" in them. i didnt know why the ef it was in there. now it makes sense.

[Q] Tilting screen after playing game

To enhance my experience from using HD2, i installed a few games designed for GL 2.0. And... I have problem with tilting screen to normal after exitting those (eg. Shift, Sims3)- All menus are tilted 90 degrees left and Sense isn't working at tall (though, I still can click Start menu and use programs horizontally). Sometimes running non-GL game helps, but still- it's a problem... Can anyone have any idea how to make it run normally and still use games? Thank in advance.
if you use energy rom(and maybe others), press and hold the answer button for like 3 sec and then the screen should be in portrait mode.
yea, all the game does is put the phone in port mode, I play the same games, and the screen rotates happens, but everything still works. change screen, or rotate screen might help if you do not already have them. hope this helps!!

Changing default screen orientation?

Hello All,
So I am running CM 7.0.3 and have the netflix app running through a friend whom gave me a special APK. When I load the application all of the pictures appear on the screen and I can load video and playback is great (even without the hardware acceleration, though the tablet gets a touch warm). The problem is the information such as names, length and short description do not appear. The application itself actually only appears in portait mode with the soft keys at the top.
I was hoping to find out if this is a restriction set by the CM system and if its modifiable. My Engadget, Joystick and a few other news apps act the same way and it would be fantastic to get it into landscape mode. I am also hoping that getting this into landscape may fix the issue with the netflix text display issues. Otherwise thankfully I can usually tell what I am watching from the picture, but I'm a bit of a perfectionist.
Anyhow, If anyone knows if there's a way to change this please let me know and I would love to try it out.
Thanks!

Weird Aspect Ratio on some Apps

Hello,
I am having issues with aspect Ratios for certain apps. One is NBA Jam. I'll admit Its not available in the Play Store, probably for this reason.
However, I found another Directly from the Play Store, Deer Hunter Challenge. When you load it up on the One, everything is shrunk down, and some of the onscreen buttons are not visible on the screen.
Is there anyway to force the One to upscale/downscale an app to fit the screen?
Thanks,

[App request] Universal SBS VR mode across full OS (Home screen, normal apps)

I have been searching for quite a while but have not come across any app or mod that splits the home screen and normal apps (basically universal SBS split across the full ROM) to use it in Cardboard or other VR boxes.
Most VR apps that I have seen are made for a specific purposes. 3D SBS or big screen video player, panoramic photo viewer, VR games and so forth. None of the apps lets us split the home screen, normal apps, etc to use the whole phone in big screen mode.
There is TaoVisor 3D App Launcher. But it is not an SBS screen splitter.
It is cumbersome to take the phone off of the VR box just to press a button or change app and reinsert the phone into the box everytime. We do not need a 3D OS, just the ability to control the whole of the phone's functioning without taking off the phone from the VR box or without the need to pair a bluetooth controller.
If some developer would be kind enough​ to develop such an app, I have some ideas which I would like to discuss.
If there are such an apps, please point me to it. Let us discuss whats and hows about such apps and request their developers to change and/or integrate features that are needed..
I have a rooted Xiaomi MI 5 running on Androind N, if that helps.

Please some one go through a lenovo note 56or 8 and figure out how they did it. There native SBS is pretty spot on tho DRM stuff like vudu didn't work on my note 5

Netflix goes black when moving mouse cursor

We've got the MediaPad M5 with attached hardware keyboard. (Original Huawei/Fine Triumph Folio keyboard)
In Netflix, as soon as we move the mouse cursor, the video turns black. Sound is still playing, overlays like subtitles and time line are still visible, but the video itself is not. Wait 15 seconds for the mouse cursor to fade away, and the video comes back.
I've also tried YouTube, Plex and the video streaming app for the national TV here, and they do not have this problem.
I've tried re-installing Netflix, rebooting the tablet, changing colour mode & temperature, text & display size, smart resolution, colour correction, mouse pointer size, advanced visual effects, but the problem does not change.
Does anybody know a solution?
I have the same issue but with touch. Idk why
