Hi there.
I'm on a Android 4.2.2 rooted device that works only in landscape 1280x800.
I need to run a app that shows different GUIs in landscape or portrait mode.
On this device the GUI is correctly turned in landscape, but it's the portrait GUI, so it doesn't show correctly.
How can I "explain" this app it's in landscape?
Thanks a lot!

after many lockups and problems i decided to turn of the rotate sensor and guess what. My phone now rocks..not a single lockup or problem.. is there any way to change the default rotation of my dell to portrait instead of landscape? also anybody knows if the official update from dell has the same problems?
You can make the home screen set to portrait by default, yes
You must use ADW as your launcher however.
Just set the default orientation to portrait and then you must set ADW to system persistant otherwise both landscape and portrait mode=landscape for some reason. I do the same.
Your lockscreen will still be landscape mode however, unless you still have the older version of Widget Locker.
It's lockscreen view was in portrait. After the latest update however it isnow landscape and you can't change it back. =(
As for the official update having rotation problems, I hadn't experienced many issues with orientation lockups except when I tried using their new Dell Stage Video app which I immediately removed after I found out it locks up the sensor whenever you tried to use it to view a video.
I however hadnt kept the rotation set to auto for very long honestly.
I prefer portrait mode for the home screen. My boot screen aswell is in portrait mode now too since someone was kind enough to post the files on the site the other day.
Portrait mode just feels more natural to me since this is currently my main phone so having it in landscape mode is abit awkward and I didnt like how certain things looked after being resized when rotating orientation.
My friend thanx very much... im using adw as launcher and yesterday i was playing with adw settings for orientation but didnt try the system persistent....of course the phone keypad and all programs remain landscape any ideas for this?
if your on 1.6 still, for the keypad you can download a differnt dialer app.
Dailer Ones pretty good.
If your on 2.2 it should auto rorate tho.
As for the programs themselves, what's not rotating?
Did you by chance turn off "auto-rotate screen" in system>settings>display when you were trying to get the home screen into portrait mode and never re-checked it?
Hi,
Several apps I have tried (maybe ~10% of them) only have portrait mode. This is a problem if you have a TV you can't rotate.
I wonder if anyone has any ideas of how to write, say, a background service that detects if it's displaying in portrait mode, and then shrinks the screen view and flips it 90degrees (so essentially you have a portrait screen that is now the correct way up, with black screen on either side). You can't tell it to display in true landscape because that's hard-coded into the app, so it is better to just rotate the portrait display. However this is a hard thing to do as the screen display is very low-level... but does anyone have any ideas of how to accomplish that?
I've done some searching, but of course Android has never really faced this problem before. Android has either been on a rotatable mobile device, or it's been on a GoogleTV where everything is landscape...
If so, that would open up more apps for Q-compatibility...
Ok this is the thing i remember that i was able to switch portrait to landscape mode or maybe it was just my imagination? well anyways i was wondering how it would be possible to switch gmote from portrait to landscape mode.
Using nexus S by the way
Hi, my I9100 when the phone is set to auto-rotate, and is in landscape mode, it will not return into portrait mode. Not even if i set it to no auto-rotation. It runs KitKat (Beanstalk) and even if i manage to get it to portrait, the apps that were viewed in landscape will remain in landscape.
Every tme the only solution is to reboot.
Its defently not a hardware issue, but i have noticed while using apps that show the orientation of the phone such as Bubble level, that the phone doesnt detect when it is faced bottom side, up.
Please help
My 7 plus (TA-1062) is running on Oreo 8.1.0. The problem is if I try to watch a movie or video on an apps like Google chrome on landscape mode, the rotation-lock doesn't allow to lock the screen on landscape mode. It's either portrait mode or the auto-rotation mode. If the phone tilts a bit, the landscape mode goes back to portrait mode. Is there any solution to this?
