Hello,
My Xperia Z2 is the Brazilian version D6543 which comes with Digital TV App built in.
The thing is that the app does not rotate with the cellphone, even if i keep on landscape mode, that position cause the earphone/antenna entrance keeps turned to left and positioned on lower side of the mobile. Due to ergonomic needs i need that my phone entrace keeps right and upside of the device. Is there a way to edit a built-in app in order to change the rotation value?
Thanks in advice.

I've been searcing Play Store for an app that use motion detection by the front camera to wake up the screen on my Galaxy Tab 10.1 when someone enters the room, or is walking near the device. The Camera Trigger (Motion detect) app is one that looked promising, but unfortunately there is no trigger for activating the screen. I also looked at Tasker but there is as far as I can see currently no event available to use motion detected by camera to activate the screen.
The reason I would like this is because the Tab is used by my family to display the Google agenda/calendar for all family members and their activities. Instead of having to turn on the device it would be a cool hi-tech feature to automatically turn on the screen when someone walks in the room. I understand that using the camera for such a purpose would make the battery drain quicker, but that's ok as the Tab is alway in it's docking station with a power adapter. Also I'm not using the lock screen/there is no security as this is a Tablet used by the family.
Anyone?
Thx n brgds ToonWolf
I want the exact thing
Hi there,
I just wanted to say that i actually want the exact thing:
An app that turns on the screen, when motion is detected by the front facing camera
and turns it off again, if there hadn't been motion for a couple of seconds...
Have you found a solution / an app that can do that?
or anyone else here ?
I'm surprised / sad that it looks like there isn't an app for that...
Me too.
I am using a Gbox to display my security cams on a tv mounted up in the corner of the kitchen. Right now I have we turn on the TV with a remote when walking into the room, but it would be extremely sexy if it the screen woke when it detected motion and went to sleep after 10 mins or so.
Hi,
I'm trying to screen cast from a Nexus 4 to a large screen TV (using a PTV3000). I want to put the TV in portrait mode and have the screen case occupy the entire screen, however I don't seem to find a way to accomplish this. When the phone's orientation is vertical (portrait) it assumes the TV is in landscape orientation and the phone screen is displayed small in the middle of the TV with black space on the sides.
After doing some searching it seems that this behavior can only be changed with a custom ROM, however I haven't been able to pinpoint where in the AOSP tree this behavior can be changed. Any suggestions are much appreciated.
Thanks!

Did you ever get the full screen to work?
hello everyone,
I'm having a problem with the rotation of my android device and I was hoping if anyone could help me with this.
to give some backstory, I'm trying to create a magic mirror using a MK809 III B Quad-Core android stick, which uses android 4.4.2
the stick is used with a computer monitor (Samsung Syncmaster 205BW), but the monitor will be used vertically. (I'm using a HDMI>DVI-D adapter to connect the two)
because of this, I need to have the screen rotated 90 degrees in portrait mode, and android does allow you to change the rotation of the screen, but it doesn't do it well.
normally the rotation is set to landscape, but you've the option of setting the rotation of the screen, but if I set the rotation to 90 degrees, rather than actually rotating the screen with 90 degrees, it rather pushes a vertical screen in landscape mode, thus cutting off half of the screen.
so far I've tried apps such as Ultimate Rotation Control, but those do not actually rotate the screen, rather they just lock the rotation.
my question now is if anyone can help me with this problem, or tell me if it's even possible to do the thing I'm trying to do.
Any Luck?
I'm having the exact same problem with APQ8084 SOM running android 5.0.2 outputting to HDMI monitor (no accelerometer).
You would think this would be an easy problem to solve.
If I put my Winodws 10 Monitor in portrait mode, it correctly rotates screen 90 degrees end of story.
As Yusunoha mentioned, changing the user rotation in Android (via several methods):
1. using the "settings put system user_rotation 0/1/2/3"
2. modifying PhoneWindowManager.java to always return preferred rotation as "portrait"
3. Setting "persist.panel.orientation=90/270"
Does NOT result in screen rotating 90 degrees.
Instead I get a compressed portrait mode stuck inside my landscape orientation.
It's almost as if the accelerometer (which I don't have) is telling the OS to always orient towards it's perceived gravity.
Any tips rotating the entire Android Display experience (not on a per APK basis) would be wonderful.
Anyone have any ideas?

Found any solution? Even with my rooted device and these settings it won't work. Also using usb c > hdmi > vga.
Hi, I haven't been able to find any information on this:
I have the clear view stand case, but I would like the screen info to flip when I flip the phone.
For example... Listening to music using the headphone jack, if you set the phone on a stand, you are forced to have the phone standing upside down..
Without the case, I have been able to accomplish this via some tasker profiles and another app. But I think it just might be impossible to control this.
I found the samsung intent that can be used to track if the case is closed, and using tasker I can differentiate screen off vs screen off + case closed.
Also you can use counters and such to try to determine when the screen is "on" (with the case closed) . but even though I think I have those situations figured out, I don't think you can force that screen to rotate to reverse portrait.
Has anyone here tried such things?
Yes I have done that before on older phones using set orientation app from the App Store. However it does not work for reverse portrait on the S8. I am in the same situation and I just use my cup holder but again I want to put the phone upside down in portrait and have the screen change appropriately. That app work fine on all other phones I have had but it does not work on the Galaxy S8
Hello,
Iam planing to Upgrade my Car Infotainment System.
I want to integrate an ultra wide Display with an Display Ratio of 21:6
And operate it with an Android Board Like an Odroid xu4
As the Display is ultra wide i want to permanently Display 2 apps at the same time next to each Other. These Apps should be displayed in a fixed Layout (one App Covers 2/3 of the width and the Other 1/3)
as the Layout should be fixed and i want the Apps displayed next to each Other right from Startup iam searching for a way to achiev this.
I need a way to permanently "Split"/devide the Screen and a way to start on These splitted Screen halfes an App on Startup.
Is there Any way to achiev this?
I hope for some ideas.
With Kind regards.
