Please help -- how to get such a basic feature?
Not toggle auto-rotation, but directly toggle between portrait and landscape, and the orientation remains fixed.
How everybody lives with auto-rotation, it's just uncomfortable. Xposed additions don't work anymore.

This should be a viable solution for you.

Is there any way to prevent my screen from auto rotating UNLESS I have the keyboard up, my phone seems to like to rotate frequently when I only need it to rotate for the landscape keyboard.
I am unaware of a way to get it to just rotate with the landscape keyboard but you can download something like Widgetsoid that will allow you to put a "Auto-Rotate" toggle on your homescreen so when you want to use the landscape keyboard you can just toggle the rotating to "On" and then when you're done you can toggle it "Off".

So this thread in the general section got me interested in seeing what hacks were possible for rotation. Editing the SecPhone.apk enabled rotation for the in-call screen. A simple addition to build.prop permanently enables rotation in the lock screen.
Enabling the launcher to rotate is not too hard to enable but after enabling launcher rotation, the app drawer gets goofed up in a couple ways:
1) If the landscape integers/dimens files aren't adjusted, the default fifth row is cut off, showing only the top few pixels of each icon
2) If the landscape integers/dimens files are adjusted (in my case, to simply have 4 rows and the default 5 columns in landscape mode - the default 5x5 is still in portrait), except that when you rotate the device while in the app drawer, the settings of the first orientation are applied to the new orientation. (When the app draw is entered from either rotation, the proper grid settings are applied.
This is potentially problematic when switching from portrait to landscape. The question is how to have the launcher properly switch to the proper grid settings. I'm sure there is a setting I'm missing, but I don't know what it is.
Anyone have any idea on what I might be doing wrong?
Before updating my phone from 4.4.4 to 5.1.1, I relied on the Screen Filter Xposed Module to dim my screen so my eyes wouldn't be blinded at night. After the update and after looking through ever new little menu and option, I found that the Colour Calibration sliders under the LiveDisplay settings essentially would do what I was using the Screen Filter module for.
Now, it isn't too much of an inconvenience, but it is a bit of an annoyance to have to navigate to that menu whenever I need to dim the screen. The closest I've gotten to making a "shortcut" is by placing the LiveDisplay tile in the app drawer there so I can launch the settings after long-pressing the tile.
My question is this: is there a way to make a widget or shortcut like the one used in the Screen Filter module? In the module, one could add a slider at the top of the notification drawer to quickly and easily dim the screen. Can this be replicated without having to install that module?
Thanks in advance for all your input.
Hello
Does anybody knows if it is possible to force not to use at all the immersive mode (full-screen)?
Background is, that on my phone, a Cubot Note Plus with Android 7.0 the TouchScreen is a bit broken. The top part, two rows of Touch-pixels are not working anymore. I cannot swipe down the NotificationBar with that fault and I use some work-arounds for it (with Tasker, Xposed Additions and Lightning-Launcher) to swipe down the NotificationBar anyway (by other buttons with a Task or by gesture).
This is a Cubot Note Plus disease, I had that fault nearly exactly with my former Cubot Note Plus and it happened only after about 4 months of use each time. Some rare times it still works again, but it is a while that it did the last time now, I think its gone now.
I can use the phone but it is annoying, because some apps have important buttons in the top part and they force fullscreen.
Even some apps doesn't allow to auto rotate the screen, so I cannot use these apps anymore (e.g. Autodesk)
I never was able to disable generally Fullscreen / Immersive Mode. Not with "Force Immersive Mode", an Xposed module and not with the app "Immersive Manager 1.2.1" (where it says in the help: "Note that it's also not possible to override the immersive mode of an app in case it uses the immersive mode itself").
Or another, more complicated way were to crop the active display?
Then I would like to discard the top of the display, so that the whole display is some pixels smaller in height.It is about the height of the NotificationBar in the top. The display-output should then just not use this part of the display and the phone should think it has a smaller display.
This solution would be much more drastic I guess.
Thanks for any hint.

Hi,
Have any of you guys experienced this bug?
After updating to android Pie, we get this small icon on the bottom right of the screen after rotating your phone. You can touch it to rotate the screen or if you ignore it, it will disappear by itself after a few seconds. Recently I have been experimenting with full screen gestures and I liked it a lot. I have no issue with the gesture hints turned on, but I noticed that if I hide the gesture hints, the small icon also stop working after awhile. It does not stop working immediately, so after I turned the hint off it still appears if I rotate the screen, but minutes later (probably 15-20 minutes), if I turn the phone sideways, the button does not appear. I have to rotate through the notification panel (the old way) or I have to turn the navigation bar back to button or turn on the hints to get the small icon back (only for it to go missing again a few minutes after I hide the hints again).
I use full screen gestures without hints and it works fine on my phone. Maybe try to reset your settings and report the bug.
