I was curious if anybody happens to know if its possible to disable automatic landscape mode when connected with the tv out cable.
I use my tv out option mostly when hosting poker games. Great for using Poker Clock blind timer app displayed to a tv. I also like using the new Slacker radio app. However that and other apps have lack of good landscape support making it difficult to use the tv out option with some programs.
I looked with no luck through the registry.
Anybody??
I have found a registry tweak that works perfectly for me in tv out mode!
1) Change your registry to enable screen rotation:
HKLM - System - GDI - Rotation - HideOrientationUI (Change from 1 to 0)
2) Then, simply map your phone button long press to the rotation tweak:
Settings -> Buttons -> Map with <Rotate Screen>
3) When you would like to rotate your screen, just hold your Phone button.

Hi,
I have seen several apps, which will rotate the screen, i.e. Gyrator. So far that works nice.
But in some cases, i like to switch screen manually and override the automatic sensor.
Is there a way to do this?
If not, is there a tool, which lets me manually rotate the screen, same like in my old Trinity?
Best regards,
Michael
registry hack to enable screen rotation ui tab
http://pocketnow.com/thought/bringing-manual-screen-rotation-back-to-the-touch-diamond
describes how to enable the screen rotation ui tab, and works on the blackstone too.
Since mainstream WM phones are lack of keys, I added some touch control to HR for easy control, so I named it as Taali Reader
I just found someone has done the similar work in 2009
. the screen is divided into 6 parts, can be configrated in General menu. Please note the bottom 2 parts' width ratio can be configrated specially for "Pagedown".
. Gestrues.

Right: Change favorite fontsize, configrate them in Display menu.

Hi Guys,
I've sideloaded a media app on my AFTV but on start up and navigation it's fixed in portrait mode.
Once I select a to play a video, it stays in portrait mode. On a normal android device, you'd simply tilt and it would play fullscreen.
I've sideloaded a bunch of Roation Apps (Rotate Screen Orientation, Ultimate Rotation Control...) and tried to force it in landscape rotation (and tried auto-rotation if available) but I believe as the app only starts in portrait mode, it cancels out the landscape function from these apps.
Is there any way of creating a hot key (i've a k400r keyboard attached) to rotate to landscape on command or any other solution?

I'm not close to my AFTV or Ouya, but there is a XPosed module that allows you to alter any app properties. I think it's called "App Settings", you would need XPosed and the said module. That should force the app in landscape mode every time, without a key.
We do indeed have HDR support, but it may be disabled by default and can only run on select apps.
1. Install a custom launcher like Nova or activities shortcut creator
2. Create an activities widget or gesture shortcut
3. Go to Settings
4. Find and select ’Video Enhancer’
5. Launch it and it will reveal the hidden setting
Alternatively, use the Magisk module HiddenSettings and modify the setting: hdr_effect 1
How to test if HDR is real:
Download an hdr video from 4kmedia.org. Change to full brightness and set screen mode to Adaptive. Hide navigation bar (use the quick shortcut). Play the video in the native video player. You'll then slowly swipe up on the Recents button, but without taking your finger off.
You should notice UI and graphics appear vivid. This indicates presence of gamma being applied. When you release your finger HDR is switched off. Saturation is a hue value, while gamma is brightness (how light or dark a pixel is). The real test would be to know if they are doing real-time processing, which is how actual HDR on TV works.
Hy is it possible doing this without using magisk ? or should we root the phone

Hello! I have the Ugoos UT8 Pro, android box. HDR only activates when watching an HDR video, but when the video is off, the screen goes back to SDR. This method you speak of, can it be done on my device to force enable HDR?
