Screen Rotation Sensitivity

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.

Is it possible to change the default landscape orientation?

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

Screen keeps on getting Auto-Dim

Every now and then, my screen brightness keeps on lowering automatically. Sometimes, brightness gets reduced to half, sumtimes even lower!
All the settings under power saving is turned off + under display -> Auto adjust screen power is also unchecked…
Anybody knows wht can be this issue ???

I believed you could try disable this option too. As it also dim your screen according to the image or program showed on screen.
Hope this help.

Hi again, I just found another thing to make the screen dim after I set screen to low light.
When I set light to low. Any program I used will not effect to screen light except the build-in browser. When I open the browser my screen dim itself to high brightness.
As I recalled, build-in browser have function to dim the screen too. Maybe other programs may have this function and can effect screen dim.
Hope this may help.

I also have this problem of ramdom screen dimming.
Auto brightness unchecked. The same thing with unchecking auto config screen.
May be it's a conflict with the inner brightness of the default browser.

Set which way is landscape?

Is there any way to set which way is landscape for apps that force landscape? I like to use headphones when I'm playing games on it. Games like GTA3 and bards tale force landscape so that the headphone jack is on the lower left, in just the perfect spot to be right in the way of my left hand.
It bugs me enough that I often wind up playing with no sound.

in the settings menu - Display - Rotation - pick the degrees of rotation that you want to allow.

This only partially works. I have all four rotation options enabled, but certain apps that force landscape, force 90 (Sketchbook is one). I know I had tried flipping it over on GTA3 once previously, and it didn't work, but I tried it this morning, and it worked. That was on AOKP, and this morning was CM9.
Sketchbook still forces 90 and won't work in 270.

Screen rotation 180 degrees?

Hi, is there a kernel or app that allows the screen to rotate 180 degrees? Ideally automatically show on screen buttons for that case as well. Annoys me every time I have to use the phone while charging... Thx
