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?

A couple of apps so far (angry birds & rock player) are not the orientation I would like. Basically, I want to flip their orientation in landscape as it's not comfortable holding my nook while in it's case.
Is there an app or a means of doing that?
My birds are always flipped ohohoooo that sounds bad
Heh, I guess there's no way to do this. I don't understand why landscape apps wouldn't read the orientation of the device and change the display accordingly.
I thought I came across a way to force screen orientation, but I can't find it. Maybe I was hallucinating - wouldn't be the first time.
I'm so used to reading books on my Touch Pro2 in landscape that it was downright uncomfortable reading in portrait on the NC. The Kindle app recognizes the orientation of the tablet, but the Nook reader doesn't and I could find a way last night to force it.
Maybe that'll be my first app.

Beautiful Widgets has rotate one..

I installed beautiful widgets, I couldn't even get the clock to appear on my desktop. Not sure if this will help with apps like angry birds etc.
edison make it your first app!
I have searched for some time both on the market and several Android forums but I cannot find an answer to this. I'm wondering if it is possible to force landscape orientation to rotate counterclockwise instead of clockwise, for things such as flash player, angry birds, etc. Any ROMs with the option, or instructions on how to change it via adb or terminal would be great.
Did you ever get an answer for this? I have my NC in a case and any apps that require landscape mode are always oriented in toward the spine of the case which seems backwards.
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

Is there a way to force a certain aspect ratio or resolution for an app? I've noticed with some apps that I get cropping which causes some games to be unplayable, some just annoying. Currently, I'm having issues with Plants vs. Zombie (from the Humble Mobile Bundle). The sides are cut off and some of the images/controls on top overlap.
I'm running Fat'n Creamy 2/28 release.
Try Ultimate Rotation Control https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nl.fameit.rotate. It allows settings for individual apps.
Please let us know if this helps.
EDIT
Misread question, but it's a good app anyway.

Thanks for that app, actually. I hate having the screen locked in the "upright" position when I have it plugged in. I like to have it flipped with the USB port on top to reduce stress.
With such a huge screen, why didn't Google allow the home screen to display in landscape orientation? While I have never wanted this functionality before, it seems like it would be great here. I'm assuming there's no way to do this without root?
You can... download a third-party launcher such as Apex Launcher or Nova Launcher. You can find them on the play store and then make the launcher to be landscape mode or portrait based on the orientation of the phone.
If you want this feature with google now launcher then there is no way to achieve this, not until Xposed is made to work using ART
They had to follow Apple this time. The iPhone 6 plus has this feature due to larger screen.

You can try forcing the homescreen rotation with Ultimate Rotation Control:

yep huge annoyance, especially since 1) iphone (!!!) now allows this and 2) google themselves allow it on android tablets
The launchers rotate, but the navigation and notification bars don't. Or at lease I have not been able to figure out how to make them do so. I know a custom ROM will fix this at some point, but part of the reason I bought this phone was to use as a micro tablet.

Son of a gun....this works! I just installed it and haven't used it yet to see if it keeps on working consistently, but so far, so good. Thanks!
