In my G1's old age it now thinks that the keyboard is open at all times. I guess the contact with the spring is broken or something. Anyway, I was wondering if there is a way to enable automatic rotation even with the keyboard "open" so I'm not stuck in landscape all the time. I'm running CM 5.0.7 and have 360 degree rotation enabled but it obviously doesn't work because of the hardware malfunction. Anyone know of a way to override this?

Is there any way to adjust the threshold for when to rotate to landscape?
It is quite annoying to have it switch to landscape on some small rotations...
i would LOVE to know this, too. my damn phone is way too sensitive. it constantly switches when i don't want it to
I would love to limit screen rotation to certain programs.
Makes sense in the browser but nowhere else.
Or show an icon for a couple of seconds after a rotate that will disable rotation in the current program until you close it.
Suggestions on screen auto-rotate
Sensitivity should be adjustable, at its least sensitive setting, the phone would require a full 1g of acceleration PURELY in the direction of the new screen bottom.
Where "PURE" means the acceleration vector lies in the plane of the screen, and the phone is held perfectly orthogonal with g.
It would also be nice to have gesture for manual screen rotate that works in any app without otherwise disrupting the app.
Here is what I mean:
When using portrait and launching an app that forces landscape (most games, for example), it always defaults to 90 degree rotation (ie. Turning the phone counterclockwise). With the SGS in a lot of games this is uncomfortable when plugged in because of the USB port's location. If the other landscape orientation (270 degrees I guess, or turning the phone clockwise from portrait) were used the cable would be on top and you could rest your hand beneath it. It would also have the advantage of your hand not covering the light sensor and causing brightness changes.
So my question is, is there an app that can force this globally, or maybe a configuration change I've missed?
I dont think thats possible
but i guess a software can be built cosidering the fact that our captivate supports landscape in both directions in other apps and while reading and browsing on net
I've seen posts about orientation settings in build.prop but they were all froyo. I've also read that since gb there is a screenOrientation= reverseLandscape option for individual apps' AndroidManifest.xml file, so editing them individually should work. Just makes me think there must be a value somewhere that defines what the default landscape orientation is, just don't know if it's compiled or easy to modify.
If anyone is interested, there's an app on market called Orientation Control that can force orientation, even has a tasker plugin. I created a tasker profile for apps that force landscape and used the plugin to force reverse
landscape instead, then an exit task to set it back to portrait. Works perfectly

I know gt8.9 is portrait bias right now, I feel quite lag in landscape mode and I always use landscape more than portrait.
So can anyone help to change it into landscape bias?

It's not that easy, it's display hardware that is rotated 90 degrees, so you can't just psychically unrotate it. If you just remove the HW rotation line from build.prop then everything will be messed up.
Its probably not impossible, but it requires a lot of work. You need to have all proprietary source files to rotate every sensor.
One thing i don't understand is why Samsung did it the way he did. They must have known about this Tegra 2 problem.
Ok so I originally posted this question here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2556217
but I was told it was probably the wrong place and I should ask it in this section.
When I play some games, for example Paper Monsters, or Cordy 2, the game orients itself to landscape but upside down, and when I flip it the other way, the game keeps changing to upside down. I have no idea what the heck is going on!? The orientation and rotation settings work great for pretty much every other app, which means so far I haven't found any other apps doing this. Could it be a problem with the ROM I'm on? This is the ROM I'm using:

There are some apps I can download from the PLAY store to help compensate for this issue somewhat, one I'm using called "Set Orientation" and it works ok but it sets the global rotation for everything, even some apps that shouldn't rotate. It's a decent bandaid I just have to set it to disabled when I'm using the apps that I don't want to rotate, for example, gravity / physics apps where you rotate and move your device all around to get maybe balls or particles moving in different directions. I would like a permanent fix however. Any help is greatly appreciated!!! :good::good::good::laugh::laugh:
I want to be fixed this problem.
Kindle 8.9 display is should rotate left-to-top, right-to-bottom. Official case is designed like that.
This seems in CM11.0 and CM12.0. Is there no plans to fix it?
I'm coming from a Nexus 5 running SlimRom where the first thing I did with every flash was to disable the ability to rotate 270 degrees. This is a useful rotation angle on a tablet, but I find it extremely irritating on a phone because every time I take the phone out of my left pocket and look at it at an angle, the screen rotates. I have been looking for a while now and I haven't found anything that will let me pick only the rotation angles I want--does anyone know of an Xposed module or an app that will accomplish this? Thanks in advance

Not sure if there's a module to do what you're asking or not, but I always just lock my rotation with the quick settings toggle until I actually want it to rotate.
What do you mean with 270°?
90°left? Or a 180°?
In any case is not possible out of the box you have tu use xposed and a module like gravitybox or gelxposed.
270° is rotating the phone clockwise into landscape. I know it isn't possible out of the box, but gravitybox doesn't have any settings to fix it and I don't use google launcher, so gel doesn't help me.
I don't want to toggle auto-rotate because I use the rotation feature a lot, just only in the 90° position
Bump, I really need help with this if anyone has any additional suggestions. Thanks
