hello everyone,
I'm having a little problem with an android stick that I'm trying to use.
the stick I'm using is the IconBIT Toucan Stick HD and there's a specific thing I want it to do, I want the screen to get positioned to portrait mode, and stay in that mode.
the reason why I want to do this because the stick is an HDMI stick, so you plug it into a HDMI port, which often is a television or a monitor, so it boots in landscape mode.
but I'm planning on using this stick for a project I'm doing, where I'll be using a monitor standing straight up, so if the stick boots in landscape mode, the screen needs to be in portrait mode to be able to use the stick for this.
I've tried installing 2 apps so far, Ultimate Rotation Control and Set Orientation, but both didn't seem to do what I wanted them to do.
the android version that's on the stick is 4.0.4 which is the latest update for this device.
does anyone perhaps know a trick I can use for this, or an app that'll do this for me, or is it perhaps not possible for this device to be used in portrait mode?

Hello All,
So I am running CM 7.0.3 and have the netflix app running through a friend whom gave me a special APK. When I load the application all of the pictures appear on the screen and I can load video and playback is great (even without the hardware acceleration, though the tablet gets a touch warm). The problem is the information such as names, length and short description do not appear. The application itself actually only appears in portait mode with the soft keys at the top.
I was hoping to find out if this is a restriction set by the CM system and if its modifiable. My Engadget, Joystick and a few other news apps act the same way and it would be fantastic to get it into landscape mode. I am also hoping that getting this into landscape may fix the issue with the netflix text display issues. Otherwise thankfully I can usually tell what I am watching from the picture, but I'm a bit of a perfectionist.
Anyhow, If anyone knows if there's a way to change this please let me know and I would love to try it out.
Thanks!

Hi.
Yes, i have, I9300, i bought multimedia stand for note II and it works like charm. One small problem. Screen resolution of my monitor is 1200x1600, and what resolution S3 has - you know. Is there any way or program that will change screen resolution after connection S3 with monitor to the 1200x1600? It looks not good when S3 give me his native resolution, all blurry and crappy view on the monitor.
Stand has 3x USB, 1xHDMI, 1x3.5jack, and place to connect charger that has 5V 2A. For curious ones i have bought that device here that is Polish shop but pictures you can see there.
Anybody know is there any way to make that phone use 1200x1600 screen resolution after connection to that base?
Oh, one more question, that base make phone to use landscape mode, but when i use skype, or camera, it works in normal mode, and screen is blinking till my camera is running. When i turn my camera off - phone is using FULL SCREEN MODE!! The same situation is in youtube app and when i am watching movies. It uses screen resolution that my monitor has.
Anybody can help me with that?
Nope, there's nothing you can do with hdmi resolution -plenty of similar posts but none I've read found a solution. Can't make any sense of your second question.
Oh, sorry, it`s hard to me to translate that straight from polish ok i try again: Camera. For example: When my cellphone is connected to that base, and i`m using skype, when i turn on my front or back camera, person who i talking to view me on side, like 90 degrees to left. Cellphone is forced to use landscape mode on that base and only camera is working normally (neutron music player too ;P )
Another fact that normal screen is not on full screen, on top and bottom there is black stripe - i understand why. And skype, youtube or other movies is using fullscreen mode.
Other soft for s3 supporting that connection to base?
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
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?
