Anyway to disable autorotate for homescreens only and not everything else?

I think Cyan's Rom allows that. Not sure otherwise. Do you use Spare Parts? It might have that option too.

hmmm wierd i dont see anything that only turns off homescreen auto rotate either, either you can turn if off completely or you can't kinda sucks, gets kinda annoying to wait for it to go back to portrait everytime you take it out of the pocket.

So, you dropped your phone from some height, and now it doesn't go into landscape anymore?
do you mean your phone won't physically open, or it won't tilt to landscape when you change the orientation of the phone?
If its the latter, sounds like you busted your accelerometer.

Yeah I was talking bout the screen orientation but when I reboot my phone it works fine and after a while it doesn't, so I don't think the accelerometer is broken

Not sure if this will help, but I have heard of cases where it's an app that's causing the system to stop responding to the accelerometer. I have a friend who owns a Samsung Galaxy S who had his accelerometer stop working, only to find it working after uninstalling a bunch of apps.
So you might want to consider that it wasn't necessarily the drop that caused it.
MY phone has done this twice now. The screen with flip itself and look like I'm looking at the phone in a mirror. The buttons, words, icons are all mirrored but I still have to tap in the normal spot to get them to work.
I have to pull the battery to get it fixed. Anyone else have this happen?

I've had it happen once as well, don't know what caused it.
Some rom devs have identified the issue is with the screen orientation transition effects.

This worked for me. No one has provided any feedback as to whether it working for them or not.

It is the ICS rotation animation causing it. Sometimes you can reproduce it if you lock the screen in landscape mode I believe

I've had this happen to me a couple of times.
I never had to pull the battery to fix it though... All I had to do was turn the phone to a different orientation, and then turn it back.
Whenever I had that issue I just tilted my phone sideways and it fixed it. Did you try putting it in landscape mode after the issue?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
I tried everything, it would even rotate mirrored. If it happens again, I'll try stuff

When it happens to mine I just unlock it and turn it to the side then back up, goes back to normal after.
Originally I was only able to get out of it by pulling the battery. If you use a lock pattern it doesn't respond correctly to touch inputs.
I went to take a screen shot of the screen while it was upside down/mirrored, and when it shot it the screen went back to normal. I was able to unlock the phone. Seems like an easy enough workaround till the problem is resolved.
Ok another newbie question..
i took my phone from the infuse car dock.. not sure if i hit some sort of button combo..
but now my buttons that are normally across the bottom.. are now up the right side...
now when my slide screen is there... it is fine.. so i get the pin unlock..that is fine..
now im unlocked.. my picture is fine..
my application/messaging/contacts/phone buttons.. that usually are on the bottom are now going down the right side... and they are not upside down or anything...
when i flick my finger to go between screens everything is normal... but im getting 3x4 tiles...
where my apps are 4x4.. so icant get to anything on the right side...
any ideas???
Should be in q&a....but have u gone into settings/display and checked if screen rotation is checked? A reboot? Are you on a custom ROM or stock?

Couldn't find any threads discussing this, sorry if this has already been asked but as a new user I can't post in dev forums yet so hopefully this is the appropriate locale for the time being.
Loving the MindTrick rom first off. My question is regarding the auto-rotate function. As in other versions you can leave the homescreen locked so it doesn't rotate but you're still able to do so using the web browser... is there a way to do this in MindTrick?

Try using a 3rd party app.. from market.... That should work..

Home screen is controlled by the launcher. Try a different launcher. Apex will not rotate the home screen by default.

Thanks ! That worked, P.S. if anyone cares that doesn't already know, if you lock your homescreen w/Apex it causes instability/crashes with JMT

ldd_recoil,
Did you try flashing the NoLockScreenRotate.zip from CWM? I removed the lock screen rotation that way. That zip file is on the OP of ptmr3's JMT thread.
This change is permanent and can't be reverted AFAIK. Do it from CWM.
I don't see why you can't just toggle auto rotation off to solve your problem....

Well, that's one way to fix it... I rarely like rotating because it's so freggin sensitive on our phones.
But for some people that rotate a lot... say browsing a webpage rotated, and their phone goes to sleep, it's rather a nuisance seeing the lockscreen on its side (imho)
I will upload a zip that stops it from rotating the lock screen if you would like

I would appreciate that thanks for your help. I am using Apex now, but lockscreen still rotates, and yes is very sensitive... bad news when trying to answer a call from your pocket sometimes.
The reason I can't just "shutoff" auto rotate is because I still use it in web browsing, in fact that was my original question.... Other Roms/OS's I've had have let me choose which ones rotate without having to constantly switch on/off
Ok I wish I could upload through my phone but I don't know how to so I will tonight

Do you know any solutions to this annoying problem? Its impossible to watch full screen flash videos with stock browser. Screen turns off automatically. i tried turning on/off smart stay, no difference whatsoever. I even installed 3 different versions of flash player, cleaned the browser cache ,nothing. What the hell is this? I am so sick of this stupid bugs.
do you know a way to fix it? and no I don't wanna use other browsers.

Smart Stay works for me when watching on the actual device. Not sure why it doesn't work for you.

No, smart stay works when the room is lit but I like to watch videos in bed which makes it impossible because smart stay doesnt work in dark.

I just want to open browser and be able to watch damn videos. Why do I need to install screen timeout apps and click it everytime I need to wqtch something. How convenient is this?

Yeah , it's annoying.
But I guess Android Jellybean system files dont support adobe flash out of box so maybe tweaking system files for screen time to support flashplayer is needed.

Search for "Screen On" on Google Play. Free app, no ads. Tick the stock Internet browser and enable the service within the app (disable the annoying icon in the notifications bar within the settings). Voila, issue resolved.
