Can anyone let me know please?.
I think so. Before I tried to install, I was searching for some info's on youtube, and I saw a video ( brazillian channel, Tecmundo, Video link ) where they tested on a fiew notebooks, one has a gyroscope sensor, and it worked.
Okay, the video is about the Android 86x, not the Remix OS itself. But it might work... there are two options to enable/disable the rotating screen ( "Screen" and "Acessibility" settings). But your device need to have the sensor.
Anyway, its an alpha release. We need to test everything for them. Try it and tell us, including your device model!

260202 build on surface pro 3. Rotation not working, or at least i didnt get it to work.
Surface pro 2 here no rotation on RemixOS. Worked x86 android lollipop

Transformer Book T200TA, no rotation!
Using any APK in PlayStore does not assist in the task either... must me hard-coded to landscape?
PhoenixOS will allow it though as auto-detect (if Gyro detected) or even through software if not detected otherwise...
Thinkpad 8, no rotation!
But i install android-x86 6.0.1 r10 it working
Rotation will never work on laptop that does not support from windows it as it does not have a sensor built in.
Autorotation works in the Alpha and the Beta as long as your sensor is supported - download a sensor app like Z - device test and check the accelerometer.
The 'issue' is that by default landscape is forced as the typical device is expected to be a PC that a doesn't typically/easily rotate. As it is forced, rotation apps that try and change it won't work. There is a property in build.prop that can change this, so that RemixOS performs more touchscreen tablet like than PC/laptop, ro.remixos.box=true.
I've mentioned that and other prop in this thread.
I also have Tincore keymapper working I believe, but haven't too much experience in it's use so can't say much on it - I'll detail the procedure in due course...
No rotation on Asus VivoTab 8 M81C (or GPS or Bluetooth)

The above mentioned laptops do in fact have accelerometers to change screen orientation in windows.
I have a Surface Pro 3 that suffers from no rotation in Remix as well. Hopefully in future builds it's resolved, it would be a matter of including the hardware support for a few different accelerometers in the build.
Got rotation working on surface pro 2

how did you got the rotation working ?

Hi friend, please tell me how you got?
I changed the build.prop as suggested but it didnt work, although it unlocked some additional settings. I downloaded the z-device test app and saw that the accelerometer was working but the gyroscope was not. Could it be that the os is looking for gyro data and not the accelerometer data, and if so, is there a way to point the os to the right sensor?

I've set
ro.remixos.box=false
in build.prop
and turned off "always keep apps in landscape mode" in experimental settings.
After that autorotation started working on my Samsung XE700T.
Launcher doesn't seem to work correctly with this feature, app icons mess every time orientation is changed.
Still trying to get auto rotation working on the surface pro 2. I tried changing settings in build.prop, but no luck there. Anyone have a suggestion?
I had success on the latest marshmallow release using the Rotation Control app from the Play Store. The ro.remixos.box prop setting was already false so I just had to turn the setting to "Always keep apps in landscape mode" off to allow portrait before using Rotation Control. (At least I think I had to adjust that setting first. It's under Remix OS Options in the Settings menu if you're having trouble finding it). Rotation Control basically just allows me to force portrait mode, which is better than nothing I guess. I'm not sure how one would go about getting auto-rotation to work. I'm using a Surface Pro 3. While Z-Device Test does indicate that there is both an accelerometer and gyroscope, they don't register any activity; so I wonder if support for those sensors is just poor or something.

thank you so much . I have been looking for solutions for many ddays to activate screen rotation on my dell 5378 with touch screen. That app is perfect:good:
Sine there are no accelerometers on a laptop, is there a way to do it manually?

I like using the app screebl to keep the screen on while reading article. if you haven't heard of it, it uses the accelerometer sensor to detect the tilt of the phone in both landscape and portrait mode and keeps the screen on if it is within the range degree of tilt that is setup in the app. It is strange that I can reliably switch between portrait and landscape by turning the phone but screebl cannot detect the degree of tilt.
Can anyone point me to a solution or is this a bug in cm7 that has not been resolved?

I am using Simply Honey which I think is based on CM7. None of the sensors work properly including:
Light sensor,
GPS,
accel
compass
They are all messed up one way or the other. Only proximity sensor works. I am missing my froyo with 3-4x of battery life..

Thats touchwiz bro...
I had the same issues when working with CM7. I'm not sure its CM7 though. Download the free app "Androsensor" and check it out. You will see CM7 runs all the sensors just fine. It may be a 2.3.* issue with the apps.
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.
Market Link:
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.

Does the current CM7 build restore functionality to the Proximity and Orientation sensors to the point where they can be used with standard apps?
Does the NT have a proximity sensor? I did not think so.

Just going by statistics from a couple of apps i.e. Android Assistant which purports to give Name, Vendor, Range Resolution and Power data for installed hardware as follows. (list not complete)
Proximity Sensor - SFH7741 By OSRAM
Rotation Vector Sensor - Google Inc
Temperature and Pressure Sensor - PMP085 by Bosh
Magnetic Field Sensor - HMC5843 Magnetometer By Honeywell
Linear Acceleration Sensor - Google Inc.
Light Sensor - BH1780gli By ROHM
Gravity Sensor - Google Inc.
Accelerometer Sensor - kxtf9_accel by kxtf9
No Gyroscope Sensor or Orientation Sensor listed
My error on the Orientation Sensor I should have said, and am most interested in, the Magnetic Field Sensor
Other apps report similar hardware available.
Besides the holy grail of Bluetooth, I was wondering if the CM7 versions have been able to natively find and activate them (if they in fact exist) or if each had to be detected and programing specially written.
Another possibility is that other necessary hardware was never included to utilize all the sensors.
In other words...
Has anyone with the latest CM7 root tried and successfully to run a compass program? I am happy with my simple Nook and Zergy root with BN access but would build a new SD card if I had a working compass for some astronomy apps.
Thanks for any additional info.
I tried a compass on CM9 and got a magnetic sensor error.

Screebl Pro doesn't work on CM7 alpha final.
I think you need to wait for next update...
Odd thing that Screebl doesn't work. I would think that it would use the same sensor for angle identification that other programs do. For instance a nice little program called Skeye can show you the night sky when you and change the vertical angle and/or rotate from portrait to landscape but it does not recognize rotation to different compass points apparently because there is no driver for the magnetic field sensor.
It appears that in my list of sensors above that anything listed with a Google driver is functional. Those without are not. But given that the manufacture of the sensor is listed, there might be Google drivers available that can activate them.
Thanks to those that did some testing
I don't believe I've seen this addressed but if so, my apologies.
I'm having an issue typically with games in landscape mode. The screen will invert and when I rotate the tablet 180 degrees to get it right, it'll immediately rotate and flip upside-down again. I've played with preventing auto rotation and forcing it to only use landscape, but it still gives me issues. This is with games in both the stock Kindle OS as well as with a separate launcher in the flashable GAPPS environment.
Anyone else having this issue or have a fix?
Thanks
Actually just saw this being talked about in the "[ROM] thor-gapps-rom" discussion under the development forum.

Try "Smart Rotator" app, and/or lock the screen orientation using the notification toolbar BEFORE you run the game.

Locking the screen by the notification bar does not work in some cases.
Best way is to use an app called ADAPTIVE ROTATION LOCK, it has an adaptive mode whenever the screen change the orientation, a small button appears and the screen orientation only changes when you hit the button or else it will go away.
The app has a pro version in which allow you to set the default orientation PER APP, I set all my games to Landscape and it works flawlessly.
hi, everyone.
after i received my moto e this monday, i have installed lollipop 5.1 stock from twrp backup.
now i'm realizing that the acelerometer is not working properly; neither the panoramic capture, nor google sky maps is working.
does anyone have this issue?
what could i do?
well, i've readeing that there's no compass in the moto e, so im wondering if skymaps, and other orientation programs are supposed to work well on this device.
could anyone tellme if skymaps is working for you?
thanks in advance

moto e 1st gen doesn't have compass..
so any app that shows directions i.e (north,south,east,west) when the phone is held horizontally /Orientation apps will not work... even Google maps doesn't show the maps according to phone orientation.
it just shows the map in north direction.
"The accelerometer is a built-in electronic component that measures tilt and motion. It is also capable of detecting rotation and motion gestures such as swinging or shaking.
The most common use for it is to activate auto screen rotation on mobile devices when the user changes their orientation from portrait to landscape or vice-versa ."(courtesy: gsmarena)
the accelerometer has nothing to do with compass or its applications.
