I don't like the 270 rotation sometimes I am reading something with the evo and tilt it right and I want to keep my portrait orientation, without disabling the auto rotate in settings, is this possible? I liked how it was on 2.1 thanks..
what rom are you using? 270 rotation isnt native to 2.2

I have seen a couple of reviews mentioning it. Maybe it is native to AOSP and not Sense?
270 rotation drives me nuts. I didn't like it on the iPhone, and I don't like it on Android. It is part of the reason I'm now addicted to CM. I keep trying to go back to other roms, but all the tweaks available (rotation, notification, status bar, etc) bring me back.
270 is native to froyo
go into your settings and go to Dispaly>auto-rotate and un check it.
thats about the only thing you can do with out a custom launcher like i believe adw allows you to pick the roration
this is my rom h t t p://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=743352 and there is only auto rotate screen option, on settings display there is not an option to let you choose between, 180 and 270.
I haven't tried any other roms yet, if anybody knows a good rom that doesn't break anything, that lets you disable that let me know thanks...

Hey everyone,
i just wanted to know, how can i make the HD's screen go Landscape whenever i want to?
tnx
Hi,install HD tweak,activate rotation screen ( 17.8) and choose left softkeys to rotate the screen . Otherwise you can use,gsen,gyrator,mobile magic to choose which application you want to rotate .
Thank you very much Marcdu81!!
But . . . Manila look like rubbish in landscape. Unless you have the newer version installed. Dutty 1.8 & 1.9 contain it. and the newer ROMs by more cooks have it in newest products. But the problem is, although it is faster, works in landscape and has a nice calendar tab, most mods and tweaks for the older Manila don't work for it; including like color topbar, 15 tabs, icons and backgroundforallpages don't work. So for time being its a mixed blessing. But give it a bit of time New versions of all the old tweaks and mods will be available eventually.
Hey
when i prees the option to rotate the screen to landscape mode, it works great, but after i get out of the "Settings" screen it goes back to portrate mode...
why is that?
is it any related to the device Rom?
the Rom version i have is 1.19.831.0
i dont know what Dutty Roms are...\=
thanks for your answers!
Hi, can somebody help me to answer my question?
I like to have a landscape theme (mode), but I don´t know how to do it.
I´ve heard, that there is no way to get a landscape unless I flash my phone to another rom, what I actually don´t want, because the phone is still under garanty.
Is it true or does it gives another way to get a landscape?
I would like this too, going landscape without having to install a new ROM or something.
I use AEB+ to map the OK button to rotate 90 degrees (and back) so with a double press on that key I get rotate whenever I want. I did not want an automatic rotate like with gyrator.
AEB+ is shareware but the non-registered works great and has almost 100% functionality:
http://ae.inc.ru
Thx for your Info,
but the rotation is not a propblem it´s an secondary issue.
I can rotate my screen, but than I will get just the half of the screen, means only the clock on the left side and on the other half side I don´t get anything.
So, the question is, is it possible to get a "theme" or a cab of "manilas" to have the possibility to change the screen with a nice view, without to change the rom?
Is there some kind of cvar/mod/hack/.. to change the default orientation from portait to landscape?
In AOSP only ofc.
no ideas about that? :/
You could try putting your phone into landscape then turning orientation off.
That is the only easy way I know of to keep it that way, if you use a widget then you can easily turn it back on when you want to change back.
it goes back to porttrait immediately when disabling auto-rotate. (via a homescreen widget)
any further ideas?
shouldnt there be a way to do so since the motorola droid has everything in landscape when hw-keyboard is open?
can some dev please give his opinion on this please?
just wanted to add that after trying landscape mode for a while, I think it would be annoying as the default or only layout option since it requires two hands pretty much for even the most simple use.
portrait allows thumb (if you're talented) or index finger (if you're flexible) single handed tapping usage.
i prefer landscape mode in all situations. i always hold my hero sideways but dont want to wait like 2 sec for it to turn around.
so again, is there a way for doing this?

since the silence here is suggesting that no developers are going to (or are able to) help you out, I suggest you try playing with the slide rom that has sense rotation enabled.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=666640
it's not perfect, cant' record video, some issues that eventually always make me want to switch back (notably if you use exchange the contact list doesn't join contacts from exchagne email, gmail email, and active directory email... but it should and does in non-slide roms).
But it has the fastest launcher screen rotation of any hero rom I've used, faster than vanilla + launcherpro and far more stable in how it senses screen rotation. it's a sense rom that is actually designed to work as well landscape as portrait.
it doesn't rotate instantly, but it's noticeably faster turning (for me using only it's built in array of sense widgets) if you want to use horizontal layout. And it stays in place better - you know how annoying it is when launcherpro has rotation enabled and you move your phone a bit and suddenly it's redrawing sideways for the next 6 seconds... well I haven't found that to be much of an issue in that slide rom.
There are still a couple of parts that dumbly don't rotate, or at least not in the default settings I tried (contacts for example and settings are I think still portrait - stupid mistakes on HTC's part).
If you nandroid first or bart first if you use an ext partition then you have no worries in flashing the above rom to at least give it a try.
This is one area where the new iphone seems to win out I'm afraid - it's launcher screen rotation is really nice, animated, quick, stable and very useful.
Dammit LoL
good luck, post your findings please!
thank you for your effort but that rom you suggested does not meet my requirements and i cant say that i like the modified rosie that is used here. :/

that's fair
At least I tried
If an actual rom developer had a solution for you it would be more interesting!
have you considered talking to one of the 3rd party launcher developers? such as the guy who makes launcherpro, the adw guy(s), and so on?
Maybe that is where your solution lies?
That combined with maybe talking to one of the cyanogenmod developers themselves (who aren't hero-specific, you'd have to google their home website)?
Cyanogenmod might be able to add an option for 90 degree rotation only (with no zero degree switching). or at least show you how to change it yourself.
Good luck!
Hi
Is there any way of stopping my Desire auto rotating the screen to the right (as per the Froyo update)?
Thanks
Not within the ROM, no. You may be able to achieve it with a rooted custom ROM though.
Not sure if it's anywhere else, but what you can do is download "MySettings" and disable "auto rotate" there .. that's what I use when I am in bed browsing and don't want the screen to auto rotate
There is already an option at "Menu/Settings/Display", just unmark Auto-rotate checkbox, you dont need to use any 3rd party app to do it.
But if your question is about whether it is possible to stop rotating only for clockwise, I think it is not possible.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
I'd like to know that as well, I find the new auto rotate clockwise quite annoying
I got so annoyed with so many bugs with Froyo that I sent them to HTC. Please send HTC a message that we want more options regarding the rotation etc.
Until then, buy "extended control" and add the widget to your homescreen and stop the rotation when ever you like and with ease.

I love that widget. So many options <3
I just updated to a Froyo stock ROM yesterday, and don't like the way the screen now rotates in 3 planes.
Does anyone know how to change the rotation to 2 planes only, the way it was in 2.1?
In other words it should show in portrait mode, and counter-clockwise landscape, only.
With 2.2 it also does clockwise landscape.
With CyanogenMod you can just edit in the settings menu.
Unfortunately, I think TheBiles is correct. You will have to flash a ROM that has the functionality (or lack there of, as the case may be) in order to disable the functionality.

phooey.
Well, I will see if I can get used to it. Luckily I am rooted, so if it drives me as crazy as I think it will, I will follow your suggestion.
Thanks for the reply
I don't understand why if i disable screen rotation no apps (ie gogle maps) will rotate!!! Is it possible to have the screen rotation in the apps and not in the home screen?? Is it a bug in 4.2?? Before the upgrade my home screen did not rotate but the apps did. >Why now is different?
Thank you
If you turn auto rotation off, then you won't see auto rotation(obviously)... That is supposed to happen, and always have(that is what that setting is for).
Your homescreen, however, is not supposed to rotate at all, and if it does, I'd have to ask you, whether you are actually running the stock rom or some custom rom, and whether, you are using a different launcher? All of these things could course your homescreen to rotate(on purpose obviously).

Actually I'm using a custom ROM and no launchers but it's almost like a stock, it's the Rigel R6. Sorry but the screen rotation added to the 4.2 what is supposed to do? Before 4.2 there was no screen rotation but the apps were rotating.. now there is the screen rotation and also the Home screen rotate
What is the "stock behavior" of the screen rotation???
Thank you so much!!

there is absolutely no change in screen rotation pattern in 4.2 as far as Galaxy Nexus is concerned.
4.2 only brought changes in screen rotation for tablets. Phones have exactly same behavior as they had in 4.1.2

Yea then it is definitely your rom... This has nothing to do with android as such.
Also it seems like you are confusing a couple of things, but anyway nothing changed in the screen rotation behaviour. Meaning that you will have to ask in the ROM thread if there is a setting specifically for homescreen rotation, and otherwise you will just have to use another rom.

Well it doesn't because I have been trying to get the auto rotate feature to work like it did for me in 4.1.2 and it doesn't...
