180 degrees screen rotation - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

HI Everyone
Is there a possibility to rotate the screen 180 degrees as opposed to 90 or 270?
The reason this is needed is when I charge the phone in the car and I want to start the GPS, I would like to turn the phone upside down and still view the screen upright.
Regards

yep, modify the framework

How do you have it? is it from a specific mod or a rom that supports it?

Download 'ultimate rotate control' from Google play.

The best app to enable 180 degree rotation on my Samsung A3 2016 (Marshmallow Android 6.01) I have found is this one (available on the Play Store):
Rotation Control
It is free and works very well to be able to actually rotate the device in all directions. Because the headphone jack and charger is on the bottom of the phone, it is very inconvenient that Samsung blocks the 180 degree rotation completely. With this app you need to apply the following settings (see picture) and enable autostart and the problem is fixed. You can now rotate your device in any direction. You can also lock it in any direction. And it is completely free and does not demand any special permissions.

Hi
I have just purchased a cheap tablet to play a particular game which will only play in portrait mode which is fine but the games screen is 180 degrees out. When I click the all apps button it's OK. So how can I force this one game to rotate 180 degrees. I need it because when playing the on/off and volume controls are on the bottom edge instead of on top.

The launcher doesn't seem to scale correctly and there are some other icons over the dock.

you have to enter in launcher setting, now dock settings, then tap twice any option and back to launcher
Change the dpi to 270 and everything fits perfectly. I'd suggest an app like LCD Density Modder Pro so you can apply a permanent market fix. For the overlay on the dock I'd say turn on Tint AB and put the AB Scale to 1. Doesn't completely get rid of the overlay but it definitely makes it less noticeable like in my screenshot.

[Q] Filling out fields blocks my whole screen.

Question, this is how my screen looks while filling out fields in apps, the input takes the whole screen. It's pretty annoying when you press next which moves to the next field you can't see what the field is. Is this the norm, or is it the ROM I'm using that's doing this? I'm on Hybrid.

When I was using h0tw1r3's CM9 @ 240 dpi, I didn't have any issues. Now that I'm using a modified stock by Flapjaxx @ 320 dpi, the input takes up the whole screen.
But I think it's more of a dpi issue, not the rom.
Hold it in portrait instead of landscape.
I don't know about the swype or stock keyboard, but can you change the key height? I use swiftkey 3 and that is an option.

You're right that portrait doesn't behave the same. It must be a dpi issue. I've had the rotation locked to landscape for awhile now, didn't think to test portrait.
Do you think it would be the keyboard's dpi I would have to change?
Thanks guys.
I'm pretty sure it does that on all dpis in landscape mode.. i remember my captivate doing the same thing
I just push the back button, the keyboard goes away and I select the next field.

I end up doing that too. It's pretty annoying. Oh well, thanks everyone.
Just an update; i flashed CM10 and it doesn't do this. It's so much better to use in landscape now.
ParnoidAndroid based off of CM10 does tho. Must be the multi DPI causing it.
I figured it out. It's the keyboards dpi. On CM10HYBRID-PARANOIDANDROID in Settings > Paranoid Settings > Apps > Android keyboard - I set Per App Layout to Tablet UI. It no longer fills the screen.
I'm using "smart keyboard pro "
And have for about 2 years . The settings allow you to set the field height of the virtual board.
Very helpful when using it on different devices and resolutions.
You could give the free version a go from the play store , but it has a nag screen. However , it retains full settings adjustment.
Hope this helps you ....g

never mind i accidentally clicked the "menu option" of my galaxy win/quattro and then the setting option popped out.
I know this is an old thread, but I don't think this necessarily works i.e. disabling auto-updates per individual app. I recently rooted an lg g4. As far as i know, I have had auto-update turned off, and as i saw the updates running, I checked the play-store to make sure it was off and even checked a few of the apps to make sure autoupdate was turned off and in every case auto update was turned off. and yet the updates still downloaded and updates ran. I would not even have known if I had not been awake at 3am.

[Solved] Tweak to keep watch always silhouette until tap?

Hi,
I got this watch used, arrived two days ago. I like it so far. Only tweaks done so far is unlock BL.
I want to preserve the battery life as much as possible though, while keeping it usable. So I think there is efficiency to be made by having the watch face stay as a silhouette instead of "waking up" whenever I look at it. To activate the watch, I have no problem with tapping it once or twice.
Does such a tweak exist? I could not find it in settings (only to turn screen off completely when inactive). Any prerequisites for such a tweak (e.g. root)?
Many thanks.
Are you on 5.1.1 (LCA43)? If yes, you can try disabling wrist gestures in watch settings. Of course, you won't be able to move trough cards as well if you disable it, but it will prevent the screen to leave dim mode when you move your wrist.

I tried that before (am on LCA43), but it seems to just disable the scroll. Just tried again, may have made a difference this time. Though it looks like the screen still activates 1 out of the 5 times I put the watch to my face. We shall see. Thanks!
You're correct, my bad! The setting you want is in the Android Wear app: Tilt to wake screen. You may want to keep wrist gestures on.

Found it! The guide I found had the setting on the main page. I had to tap on the actual device listing to get to the sub page with all the goodies (Google probably did it that way so you can program different actions for different watches).
Thanks again!
By the way, one day later with no charge in between. I am proud of this:

I don't think there is a way and personally I haven't found anything. This appears to be something Google did with Android Pi, it shows up in Nova Launcher also. From what I can tell by reading and useage (during the beta) the button appears when orientation lock is activated, when it is set to auto-rotate the button doesn't show up at all. I don't see any app or setting that controls it, so it maybe something that requires some form of app or other modification to get rid of.
I have only seen it appear when rotation lock is active and the phone has detected itself as being held opposite of what the rotation lock is set at. For example if the screen is locked at portrait orientation then the button only appears when it is held in landscape orientation.

There shouldbe a way because if I enable or diasable auto-rotation I don't have that icon on my screen. (and I don't know how to make it appear)
