Better than gsensor, enable/disable rotation, define rotation angle (to avoid upside down) choose programs to rotate and the ANGLES for each one...

Needs Sogarth or Michy's latest rom with gsensor service enabled, FAST, really fast!
pretty cool. it works, using michi's latest. on my device seems to be pretty slow, maybe I've got too detailed of a background image or something
Some of us use the Prime without the dock and like to use it upside down landscape while charging it since the charging port connector is on the bottom of the Prime and is a little unwieldy to use when not upside down and charging.
Though most apps will detect the orientation of the Prime and rotate appropriately, some don't (like the YouTube app when playing video). The following is a great app that can force the screen orientation on troublesome apps and works when the built-in orientation detection doesn't.
Tested and works in both Honeycomb and ICS.

Orientation Control
orientation
Thanks for this. I'll give it a try. I had wondered if anyone else was having these issues.
It works for almost every possible orientation, but I'm trying to set the "reversed landscape" mode but It doesn't work, I'm using virtous prime .21, do you have the same problem or is just me?
I was having the same problem and after I tried some apps, I decided for "Rotation locker", it does the job (I needed the reverse landscape) perfectly and It's free
I've used this before, and it works well. Just remember that some apps will force close due to this. So if you experience force closes, try disabling it.

Hi all. I've posted this query a few times in the Vibrant's various subforums, but haven't received any helpful responses.
Quick Controls work fine in in portrait mode, but in they don't work at all in landscape mode.
To pre-empt any suggestions about this issue being charging related, Quick Controls don't work in landscape whether or not the phone is plugged in, full battery or mostly discharged.
I've noticed this issue on CM9 and other ICS ROMs, and now it appears on the JB ROM I'm using (SlimBean 2.8). Does anyone have any insight or even a possible fix? This isn't a huge issue, and I actually prefer browsing in portrait, but it's tedious to bring up Quick Controls in portrait mode. The phone was released during 2.2/2.3 and swiping in from the edge wasn't considered when they designed the phone. The bezel is very close to the region you need to swipe in from, and I have to lightly and precisely played a tiny bit of my finger on the bezel and slowly (often repeatedly) try to bring up Quick Controls. I've used my friends' newer phones, which have a less relieved bezel and Quick Controls is far better implemented for this reason.
Hello xda community.
I have a tablet which comes with a pen. On stock rom when pen is near the touchscreen a mouse cursor appear right in front of it and touch inputs (except hardware buttons) are disabled.
Meanwhile at custom roms, they just dont, it shows cursor but you can touch too and i can't write with touchscreen enabled.
The pen is not even working on potrait mode. It just acts like landspace and x,y axis' replaced each other.
I can't use stock because like xposed modules, it modifies connection to some sites. Like youtube, it has unremovable restricted mode and 400 errors.
How do i port them from original rom? Do i need to decompile kernels? Can you put a detailed explanation?
Hi,
Got my 20 Pro on Friday and so far I'm relatively pleased with it. There seem to be a few teething issues.
In-screen fingerprint scanner
- Doesn't work 100% of the time for me. More like 70% of the time.
- I find it less usefull than one on the rear. With a scanner on the rear you can use it to pull down the notifications whatever screen you might be in. ie I can be in the Browser and still pull the nitifications down with a swipe. I haven't found a way of doing that on the 20 Pro without coming out of the active app?
Some apps are not working?
- Just crashes straight away?
Gesture navigation
- coming from a Xiaomi it is clear where Huawei took their inspiration from. But it simply does not work as smoothly. Flicking up form the bottom should just take you home with a flicker of the previous apps coming up. Just a little thing but hey!
EMUI Desktop question
I also have a Mat 10 Pro on which I use the Desktop application extensively and it works very well. However with the 20 Pro the displayed resolution is much lower, as if it reduced from wqhd to hd? Is there a way around this? It is actually making it pretty useless.
Apps:
Are you talking about native apps? As they should have been thorough benchmarked against Pie 9.0 before being released on a phone. If its apps from Nougat or Oreo, then there's a possibility those apps require updates for suitability on the new OS.
Fingerprint:
Are you using the same pressure for each tap? Have you tried unregistered and re-registering your finger print again (touch different areas of your finger around the sensor area)?
EMUI Desktop:
Can you explain what is wrong with the resolution of FHD using desktop EMUI? Lower res (at least not under 720p HD) is good to prolong battery life...what sort of work are you doing (do you really need 2K resolutions? How did you find battery life with full res quality on M10P?

Hi, thanks for your answer.
You might well be right about the apps, some of them probably need updating to Pie. However, I'm having an issue connecting Android Wear notifications. There is a Wear Alert saying saying it needs aces to Notifications, which it has. When I click on the the link Wear just closes down. All the settings are correct and the watch (Huawei W1) is paired. So that's...annoying
I have deleted the fingerprints and re-registered them, it might be about 80% successful now. But it is more the loss of functionality which is a shame. A physical fingerprint sensor can be used to swipe down notifications much more easily. But hey ho.
The desktop just looks really zoomed in on the m20p compared to the m10p. Is there a way of zooming out? Unusable otherwise.
I think I might sell the m20p and get the Mi Mix 3, it has a physical fingerprint sensor, gestures work seamlessly for all launchers including Nova (really don't like the Chinese UI's - EMUI, MIUI etc...) and it has no notch.
Wait for build 122 if you aren't already on it. Widely discussed in multiple threads here...might fix one or more of your problems RE: wear/apps and the consistency of fingerprint. Cannot help you with Desktop function just yet.

I can't get desktop mode to work. Is it a specific cable I need? I use a USB-C to HDMI that works fine with my Note 9, but nothing at all happens.
Also, is there a way to use Wireless Projection to a Chromecast? Or any other tips on how this works...

I have taken some screenshots (attached) to illustrate the issue I am having with the m20p (first) as opposed to the m10p (second).

I think it's a DPI not a resolution difference. Yes, I also find the lower DPI (larger fonts and elements) annoying. EMUI Desktop needs to have customization options.

Yes, you are right DPI, not res. It seems like a retrograde stepp to me.

The front fingerprint reader works 99% of the time for me. I find you simply have to press harder on it than a standard finger print reader. The pulling down the notification shade with the scanner is probably one of the least used features on any phone to be honest "shrug". Back readers are just so clumsy. Using my note now is like going back to the 80's in back to the future haha.
Flicking up with gestures on standard launcher works perfectly. It is the non standard launchers that will require updating.
As for the desktop mode, it's most likely down to your TV or a required update on the Mate. Also make sure you have the resolution on the phone set manually to the resolution you want.

Hmm, each to their own views on useful functionality. Personally, I find the ability to pull notifications down whilst using the phone, holding it with one hand and not having to close any apps useful. More so with the m20p since there is already an unlocking mechanism on the front.
No doubt it is non standard launchers causing the issue with gestures, but I can only say that they work perfectly on Xiaomi devices and Nova.
The irritation with the desktop is that the m10p displays fine on the same monitor. Some kind of dpi issue.

Samsung DEX is way better than either the m20p or m10p in terms of desktop environment on a smartphone. Checkout the various options for the screen resolution for the desktop on Samsung DEX.
has anyone managed to fix the resolution issue with desktop mode yet?
This is one of the main reasons I bought the mate 20 x and if the resolution isn't going to be fixed then I might be going to samsung unfortunately
