hi,
sorry if this question has already been asnwered..
is there an app in which i can set which programm may use landscape mode?
i know there are lots of software which allow me to set the programs which should NOT use the rotation, but i just need it in very few applications so it would be much easier to define programs that are allowed to use rotation, instead of denying.
any ideas?
G-Config with a Whitelist for apps that should go into landscape will help you:

Hey im just trying to change my screen to always be in landscape i trying to do it but its not worrking i understand every thing till it say "Change the Value of "Angle" to the FF:" please some one give me more detailed instructions
Set the Screen Orientation thru Registry and works only after soft reset
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\ROTATION]
Change the Value of "Angle" to the FF:
dword:00000000 or dword:00000360 -> Portrait Mode
dword:00000090 -> Landscape(Right-Handed)
dword:00000180 -> Portrait Up-side Down
dword:00000270 -> Landscape (Left-Handed)
Hide/Unhide Screen Orientation Option in Screen Module[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\ROTATION]
"HideOrientationUI" -> set 0 to unhide, 1 to hide
Set Fix Landscape(Right-Handed) Mode and No Landscape(Left-handed) in Screen Settings
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\ROTATION]
"Landscapefixed"-> set 0 if disable, 1 to enable
What device are you doing this on?

I thought you could change it in settings/screen
i want to change it for good so if i open and close it it will still be in landscape
There are a few ways:
1. Use an app that will rotate the device to landscape, and install a power on notification to launch that on every power on. That way the device will auto rotate itself properly.
2. Remove the magnetic sensor. Semi permanent and dangerous.
3. There is I think a registry hack to force this, but I could never find it again. Search the board using google [http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=322565] and try to find it. Let me know if you find it!

PS I wrote VJUzumaki to disable the autorotation properly. However, it's not released (yet).
the registry hack is in my first post i need help with the instructions
there's a less permanent, but far simpler, easier and less intrusive method that I use. Under start, settings, buttons, pick a button that you don't use often, and assign it to rotate screen. I rarely use the camera, and when I do it's easy to get there through the menus, but I use rotate maybe half the time I use the phone

Lanscaper App.... you mean, you can freeze your device in Landscape mode and not have it witch to portrait when you open and close the keyboard??
If so could you please post this app?

I got this issue on using S2U2, the screen will smash when turn on the phone by opeing the keypad
I agree with you, same problems here and I'd like a way to exclude certain programs.
Anyone else have any luck?
Hey,
What exactly does this do? I have enabled this option, and disabled it, but see no difference in the two
If anyone is confused, it is the built in auto rotation option.. I havent installed any 3rd party programs
G-Sensor
I believe when it is enabled, the phone is suppose to automatically detect the orientation of the phone, and flip accordingly. But I can't really tell a difference either... I wanted to know if some could explain to me how to install the gyrater software, so the screen will flip with the keyboard in... I am pretty new at this stuff...
You are right. The phone detects when it's on it's side. Open opera browser, or the calculator and then flip it with the option off and on. Then you'll see the diffrence. If you want more to flip, search the forum (see sticky thread about tweaks). There you can download a cab that makes a lot of your phone flip in landscape mode.
Is it possible, that i can use the Autorotation Function only in special Apps ? I dont want that my Homescreen rotate, but my Browser for example shoud do it.
Does anyone knows a solution ?
Best regards...

Dont know how you can pick and choose for each app and save the memory of it.
But you can manually do that by keeping a widget for Autorotate on homescreen, and switching between the app and the screen.
Hi Guys,
I've been trying to figure out how to force the rotation of lockscreen into landscape.
I have tried all rotation control apps, paid and not. However, I can't find what I was looking for.
Ultimate Rotation Control provides near what I was looking for. It can force the lockscreen rotation to any orientation I wanted,
however, once I set the rotation of lockscreen to force landscape always, everytime I unlock my tablet, the home screen which is
locked to Portait was displayed as Landscape for about 2 seconds.
I was thinking that if, it is not only an app. If, it was edited thru the internal system applications, it will provide the smoothness
that I was looking for.
I already tried to edit the framework-res, I still can't find the XML where the lockscreen can be forced to landscape.
Several nights browsing Google hoping that some articles are already there to teach how to edit the lockscreen but I can't see any.
Due to my work overseas, I was not able to focus on this. But now I'm somehow pissed and I wanted my tablet to be the
way I want it, to look the way how I wanted.
Can someone show me the right path to where I should start? I don't mind if it would mean that I should study Android as I am a
software engineer, but just a beginner in java.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Kemaro
I'm using Rotation Control to force landscape. So far so good. Haven't noticed any problems and all apps like Instagram are forced to landscape without any issues.

Why is your lockscreen displaying in portrait anyway it's a landscape device and should display as landscape natively? :what:

The lockscreen of Tab S is always on auto rotate. It is not natively in landscape.
I wanted it to force landscape always but only the lockscreen. As for the home screen, it should be auto rotate.

I'm sorry but that's not what happens on my SM-T805 using Phoenixrom.
The Lockscreen and Homscreen stays natively in landscape and doesn't rotate at all.
I can use a rotation app to auto rotate the home screen, but the lockscreen stays landscape no matter what.
I don't remember it being any different on total stock.

You have the 8.4 version? That is a portrait device. I just assumed it was the 10.1 because you said landscape.
