Any place where i can set the angles ?
I prefer mostly vertical, I hate it when it switches to landscape when i lay down to the side a little.

For certain apps, I want to be able to use the hardware keyboard but keep the screen in portrait mode. Gyrator helps a bit, but does not do everything I want:
Example 1: Kevtris. Only works in portrait, but needs enough mappable hardware buttons to control the pieces, so keyboard needs to be out, but device is held in portait.
For this, Gyrator helps because it turns the screen back to portrait if the device is in portrait (even if the keyboard is still out)
Example 2: Morphgear. Works best in portrait mode with the game display set to be sideways (East). So keyboard is out, device is held in landscape but I want the screen to stay portrait.
Any thoughts?
I'm not sure if changescreen would work, but you can set what programs turn what way, and could add an exception to those specific programs to display only in portrait mode. It's called changeScreen - v2.5 (Mar 13 '09). HTH

is it correct that the screen rotation should only be vertical, or horizontal with buttons on right hand side - i.e. it won't rotate if you hold it horizontally with buttons on left hand side? Or is it app specific?

As factory standard this is how all HTC phones seem to come. Some Apps will add more functionality in them though so you can rotate any way
Is there an app that will alter the angle the phone needs to be at when going from portrait to landscape and the other way around? I find when coming out of landscape that the angle I hold my phone that I like best for viewing the screen is not agreeable with what angle the Evo thinks it should be at. Is there any way to change that?
Adjust your g calibration.

I have the Samsung Flip cover on my Note II.
Most apps can be used in landscape mode in both orientations but some use just the "default" landscape orientation. Unfortunately, this is the one with the flip cover in user's direction. When the phone is on the table it is slanted downward away from the user and also prevents me from setting the note standing as an "A".
Is it possible to tell the phone to use the "reverse landscape" orientation as the main one?
Also, can I get the stock launcher to display in landscape mode? I've seen there are some utilities for this but none seem to work perfectly. I've read that the next Android version should make this possible..?
(btw, I must say I really dislike the side buttons that are sticking out too much compared to my good ol' Dell Streak - makes it easy to press them unintentionally)

I was wondering if there is a launcher that preserves the size and aspect ratio of icons and widgets when you go from portrait to landscape.
I used to love how my Nokia N900 could do this. Basically you would arrange where your apps/widgets were on the screen separately in
portrait and next in landscape. Then instead of your typical rotating transition from portrait to landscape, where often the widgets become
distorted, the screen image would flip about an axis so it appeared as if the apps/widgets for landscape and portrait were on opposite sides of a plane that made
up the screen. Not sure who originally came up with this idea but developers for maemo os Incorporated
this for N900 after Nokia dropped support for the device...
