So I got Paper Monsters when it was the FAOTD on the Amazon App Store and I installed it on both my Kindle Fire HD 7's and for some reason it keeps auto flipping upside down!? If I have it in landscape, it auto flips to reverse landscape and vice versa. Has anyone ever seen anything crazy like this? My other games work great. No problem like this they auto flip to the CORRECT orientation... this is so far the only game / app that does this?!
I think you have the wrong forum. Try q&a.

Download "set orientation" from the app store, enable it, set it to auto.

Thanks for the post a couple of years ago. Didn't find "Set Orientation", but did find "Ultimate Orientation Control" and it works.

Hi
Is there a way to get FULL SCREEN while watching movies. Whenever i launch movies on my tab - I still have the bottom line with TouchWiz and clock and more.. I haven't found a tweak that will let me hide that.. Would be awsome that it hides after few seconds while watching something fullscreen ?
Any fix for that? - I looked in the forum for similar questions on this issue, but didn't see it - Thats why i post it .. Sorry if it is a duplicate of another question somewhere here in the forum.. ;-)
Just wondering.. Am i the only one having this issue?

Therr are a couple of posts.
Basically, since there are no hardware buttons, android forces the taskbar to always be shown to allow access to the buttons. There are no hacks for this yet as it will also require the media player to take no taskbar into account and offer a way out of the app.
Okay.. Well i was hoping there was somekind of autohide when fullscreen, and menu could be tricked by a touch.. Hopefully we will see that..

could be tricky to dev this, what you would probably need to do is have an app you run before opening a movie that hides the bar but also places a toggle to show it again on the power button. However if you remapped the power button and the tab froze you could be stuck. Probably best just to live with it
Yeah.. I saw a feature like that on the Ipad, so if it works on Ipad, it should for sure work on Android aswell..

What he said and unfortunately we will not see an auto hide anytime soon.
When using the default YouTube app on my Transformer Prime it frustrates me that the videos always begin in the default small view and require me to select full screen playback through a button. Is there a way to have any selected video automatically open that way system wide, through either an app or a setting I'm missing? I hope what I'm looking for is clear enough through my description.

You haven't missed the explanation of your inconvenience unfortunatelly you missed the forum -> Q & A.
To answer you question: nope, haven't found that setting. Would be a nice suggestion for an update implementation.
I'd be happy if it would continue buffering when I pause and the screen auto locks. Sometimes I have to deal with other things, and I don't want the stupid thing to start completely over.
Trick YouTube app to fullscreen playback
If you're rooted, you can install the Xposed module App Settings and then set your YouTube app Screen(dp) to something like 480x854 to make the app behave like it would on a device with a smaller screen (e.g. phone) - because on a phone YouTube plays fullscreen when you're in landscape mode.
I'm using the HD YouTube app found here but I'm guessing you can make this work with stock YouTube also.
The only caveat is that you lose the collapse button to get out of fullscreen - but you can always rotate to portrait if you want access to more info.
Hope this helps, and here's my screenshot of the app setting for YouTube HD (on TF201):
Hi Guys.
There's a couple of apps that seem to come up as portrait even when my phone is on landscape.
Lock screen is one of them, also the phone app is on landscape but when I receive a call it goet to portrait.
Is there any way to fix this?
I've installed app settings, and forced auto rotate on phone, but still the same.
Maybe phone app is not the one used when on an actual call?
Any ideas?

Managed o do this with an Xposed module, but the phone app doesnt rotate well, and displays an error in the swipe to answer
Any ideas?
try the App Set Orientation from the Play Store.
Note: if an app forces you to landscape than it`s because the App doesnt support portrait.
Try rotation control by fame it. This app let's netflix rotate to portrait!

Hello all!
I've seen it somewhat posted throughout the comments here but no thread on it directly. I figure the potential of this this deserves it's own thread and tutorial for those who are coming from Google to try and do exactly this without reading through a few threads.
Anyways:
How to enable Wide View on every app:
Download this app,G8x WideMode.
This puts a new icon in the top bar in the notification shade. If you don't see it, pull down twice and hit the pencil to edit the icons. Find the new one and place it somewhere near the top to keep it close by.
When the dual screen is open, tapping that will force wide screen in every app! There are some limitations:
Intent changes seem to revert the phone back to two separate pages. For instance, the mobile Reddit app Sync closes wide screen if I click any link to an external picture, video or site.
Some apps do f play nice in wide screen due to this, and you can't keep the phone permanently in the mode like a tablet, but it's a great improvement to a great phone idea.
This is super simple so I didn't think pictures were necessary, but let me know if I wasn't clear on anything or if you have problems somewhere!
This is very much appreciated! It works like a charm. It's not the floating dual screen thingy but the toggle buttons that you swipe down from the top. Make sure you add it.
Hey, this app seems to work great! I did have an issue with one app called Steam Link. Steam Link allows you to connect to a computer running Steam and remotely control it from your Android device. When I launch a game and try to use WideMode the Steam Link app refreshes and goes back to a single screen. I would love to be able to play some of my steam games over both screens.
Is there any way to make landscape apps go left/right instead of top/bottom?

I don't understand. couldn't you just auto rotate? you can also use the rotation control app to lock rotation, which helps with wide Mode

auto rotation did not work because some apps are forced landscape/portrait.
I did end up using the rotation control app with the per-app conditions. :good:
Next nice thing would be if some apps would restart at the new resolution, instead of stretching the single-screen app - some apps/games work perfectly, but others don't (and I think they should have a similar resolution compatible because I've used the axon M, which has "dual screen" retained through home with those apps).
Has anyone figured out how to view the lockscreen in landscape mode. I tried a few screen rotation apps but no dice. Lockscreen always in portrait.
PS: Not interested in rooting my device.
Thanks.

Very old app (been using since Note 3 days), but it works - "Set Orientation". Not available in the play store anymore, so you would have to side load.

Maybe you're using different app. Mine works. And yes this is the lock screen.

I just found an apk for "set orientation". Tried every setting and none worked. Do you have a link?

Attached apk, but I tried rotating my lock screen without it installed & it worked. So you're right it probably a different issue.
My lock screen rotates to landscape so long as rotation is allowed in the settings/quick settings.
I know that you do not need any third party app because the only way that the face unlock will allow to unlock using your face is when the lock screen is in landscape mode.

Thanks. Thats the same app I had found. Still no dice. Lock screen still won't rotate. Its always in portrait mode until I unlock it. Btw I don't see the lock screen on the pictures you posted. Can you show me a picture of your lock screen in landscape mode with the fingerprint scanner on the right or left? Does it rotate too?
Thanks for the assistance

What my word isn't good enough!? Kidding
Pattern shows on screenshot, but finger print doesn't. Lock screen rotates 100% of the time with or without 3rd party app.

Lol. Yeah no offense. No matter what I do I can't get landscape mode on the lockscreen. I don't know what the hell is going on.
Your device OS is geared towards displaying everything in portrait mode and the only solution is to get a hold of a decent OS that isn't owned or runned by hipsters
Make sure auto rotation is enabled.
