This problem has annoyed me for way to long, so i'll pay $50 USD to anyone who can help me.
No matter what i do, i cannot get screen/auto rotation to work properly on any ICS rom. It will stay portrait mode no matter what. Auto-rotation works fine on any Froyo/Gingerbread rom i use. Flashed every ICS rom available. I've tried the following:
1. Turning on auto-rotation in Settings>Display
2. Toggling auto-rotate in Settings>Display while the phone is turned landscape
3. Toggling notification widget orientation icon
4. Reflashing/Wiping everything/flashing and wiping (don't get me started)
The only app that actually rotates for me is Camera.
Accelerometer Values app from market tells me everything is fine.
wow dude i don't really know what to say. I did try team icssgs's RC3.1 a while back and everything worked great. Actually, i can even say i was rather impressed on how ICS handled screen rotation. Had that turning iphone-like effect and worked every single time perfectly, no matter what i was running, as long as it was enabled on settings.
Any chance you might have some app interfering with screen rotation? like some toggle widget or something?
Wish you good luck mate

nope happens on any newly flashed fresh ICS rom
Lol, I'm very doubtful that my solution will work, but if you're desperate enough you can try and who knows, I might win 50 bucks
First answer me this: On your last Gingerbread Rom, you had the ability to turn off all animations in the Settings -> Display menu.
Did you turn off all animations?? If yes, read my solution. If no, stop reading here
So, you answered yes. Here's my proposal:
1. Flash a Gingerbread ROM again. Turn ON all animations.
2. Flash your desired ICS ROM

on gingerbread, i would always turn on all animations
but that wouldnt do anything since flashing a new rom wipes everything
What launcher are u using?
Howdy!
On ICSSGS 4.2 and Semaphore 9.0 the turning works fine for me. That is in apps that support it. The launcher for instance doesnt - the clock does.
You could try installing the ES Task Manager and check whether the turning is on there. Also you could check appropriate apps for your Kernel/Rom -- sometimes you can turn stuff on and off there, as well.

I'm on THS Experimental Build, but Build 16 should be the same.
1. You didn't mention this, but Settings > Launcher > General > Auto-Rotate Screen
This is using Trebuchet Launcher, but it should be similar on any other ICS Launcher, under the Settings "Interface" list.

Likely its because of the changes in windoworientationlistener.Java its been changed to absolute values so now you have rotation_angles instead of rotation_mode where sensor libs would return 2 3 4 5 depending on degrees 0 90 180 270 now it looks for actual degrees rotationinstead of numbered modes
try ics slim. Settings -ASS - General UI - set rotation delay. and ofcourse set on the rotation.

I have the exact same problem. I have tried everything I found on these forums and still no resolve. I use semaphore kernel 1.0.0 and ICS Slim rom on a samsung galaxy s phone. I can see the explination for our problem but what is the solution ? How can we correct those variables ? Thank you in advance !

Has anyone managed to fix this problem for the affected phones yet?
I'm willing to help test / add to the bounty if any dev out there can try to fix this...
Does your accelerometer work in any games on ics?

I wish I had tried some games... all I can say for certain is that it works in the camera app and sensor test apps like GPS Status. So it seems like it comes down to the system UI not interpreting the sensor readings correctly.

I suggest you try it out with some games too.. coz if it's a rom issue, it can't be with every rom..
Even the games don't directly access the accelerometer.. Goes through the kernel which controls the hardware.. If it works in games, should work in the roms which have accelerometer working fine..
This annoyed me for a while... It worked fine on THS ROM with Trebuchet launcher. I switched to AOKP, and couldn't get it to work, tried a few others that all failed. After a couple of months, I'm back to CM9 on nightlies (with Semaphore 1.2.0) and rotation works perfectly, couldn't be happier.
Maybe try CM9?

Confirmed the accelerometer DOES work in games.
So it works in the camera and 3rd party apps like sensor tests and games. Does not work in any launcher, the stock browser, gallery, or other system apps.
Also tried the the latest Team Nyx release - not working there either. I've tried the latest CM9, ICS333, AOKP... it doesn't work in any of them.
So I got CM9 stable working on the Galaxy S - it's brilliant. But it's missing the torch app, and in the widget selection screen, the option to have a button for the LED flash is greyed out.
I have a Nexus S which, after updating to RC2 a few days ago, also is missing the torch. It originally had it in the nightly I was running previously. Is this some weird design decision by the CyanogenMod team? How can I get that functionality in the stable ROM?
EDIT: I am a moron. Feel free to delete this thread mods. Or leave it here as a testament to my stupidity. In my defence, I was installing it on a friend's Galaxy S... I was not aware the device didn't have an LED flash. :'(
lol
I'm currently on CM 10.1 M2 but using CM 10.1 since first experimental release. Is there any way to enable lock screen rotation or it's by design to have it portrait only? Is this even an option in CM? I think I've looked through all the options but to no avail... Thanks!
Hi. I have a Galaxy Nexus, and the ability isn't present in our CM 10.1 M2 either. Apparently it was in earlier builds in the display settings as a specific option, but is no longer there.
I notice that my Xoom doesn't have the option either, but the lockscreen still rotates.
Maybe all the actual phone builds don't have this then... I just replied because I've been seeking the same answers as you, but for the GNex.

As you can see you can try Screen Orientation on the Play Store. It rotates the screen and the lockscreen as you like. Check it out. I don't think that feature is available in the SGS but in 4.2 Moto Atrix they have it.

hello all,
i was wondering if anyone is experiencing problems with a red rectangle on Resurection Remix Rom 4.4.2 running on gti 9295 (s4 active LTE version).
it's like everytime the CPU gets a push (event or anthg) there 's a red rectangle that flashes on the edge of the screen.
i have seen that issue with other user on XDA but no one posted a fix or a how-to...
Can anyone share his wisdom please as i have been using this rom for a couple of days... running smoothly, fast and full of customization tweaks... of course screen recording is still not working and other small issues because it s still an unofficial release.
...
thank you guys/girls!

I have and it bugged me forever until i found a fix. you have to download build prop editor and add two lines
persist.sys.strictmode.disable and make the value 1
persist.sys.strictmode.visual make the value 0
i dont know how it looks but dots between each word and no spaces. then reboot your phone and under settings developer options towards the bottom is an option for strict mode make sure it is unchecked.
Thank you for this.... It s working perfectly...

I'm not the developer but I noticed there is no discussion on this topic. So here it is
Download: http://fxpblog.co/cyanogenmod/cyanogenmod-12.1/

1 thing that I found that is different from CM11 is that the locked to portrait is gone. in CM11, if my device is in portrait orientation and I locked the rotation using the notification bar toggle, it will lock my divice to portrait. If my device is in landscape, it will lock it to landscape.
With CM12.1, if I do the same thing, it will only lock it to landscape. no way to lock it on portrait.
But otherwise good ROM.

Cool. So you've tried it? Is it better than the other unofficial CM12 or better than Official CM12?

this is the only CM12.1 ROM I've tried. I believe FXP team is the main source of Cyanogenmod for Sony devices. So their build might be not as up-to-date but you can be sure the guys know what they're doing.
The author of the other thread is the good chap doing all the Sony commits, pretty official.
