[Q] screen rotation - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i have noticed that the screen can be rotated to left and right landscape on the Zee with cyanogen 7 but when you use games or video, they only seem to rotate to the left only. is there any way they can be forced to rotate to the right instead?

Videos can rotate either way but it would seem games are written to only rotate a certain way when active..as far as autoposition in landscape. Could be wrong but makes sense to me
dont send me pm's crying about how i hurt your feelings in a thread

cheers spas. does the rotation of video include flash based from websites though is what i wonder. will have to take a look

Gyrator 2 Settings

Im not sure where the settings for gyrator controled events are stored, but if there is such a location could you help share your settings so we can all get a better grip of this great app?
I've tried adding some Events myself, but ive not been very successful.
Could someone help me get Gyrator to do some of the following:
* When TOMTOM is being used, I would like the screen to rotate landscape or portrait respective to the appropiate angle the HD is faced. However, I would like the rotation to stay fixed once the stylus is inserted. The rotation direction should only be able to change when the stylus is removed. (This should help me lock the screen to a landscape direction if needed or portrait if needed, and not have to worry about bumps in the road flipping my screen all over the place when driving.)
* When Windows Media Player is being used, I would like Gyrator not to rotate the screen whatsoever, because the WMP app seems to have G-Sen rotation already built in, and with Gyrator running, the phone gets very confused, and tries to show my video in lanscape on the portrait facing screen, thus chopping off half of the video)
* if anyone can suggest any other usefull Events that they've found useful, please let me know too (and if possible, let me know how to do it)?
Thanks.
BTW, ive looked at the Gyrator website, and their instructions are not the easiest to follow. (oh, and I find Gyrator 2 to be a much better app than the alternatives, hence why I am sticking with it - hoping I will learn how to use it much better)
Cheers.

That should have answers to all your needs (including WM Player and TT)
if you still have questions after reading the thread, let me know
Thanks, that helped wonders!

[Q] Disable Camera Orientation?

Is there any way to disable camera orientation on the EVO? I'm currently running a Sense ROM (Calkulins 1.7.7) but would like to do this for AOSP as well since sometimes I run CM.
Basically, I always want my camera in portrait mode. However, just the slightest tilt of my phone rotates my camera - annoying. Regardless if screen orientation is on or off, the camera always rotates even at the smallest degree of rotation..
Thanks!
Personally, I don't think you can stop it from rotating. You wana search in themes and apps, MAYBE a mod there, but unlikely, I think. Sorry man.

Force youtube into landscape with orientation lock?

Hey guys,
I like to lock my screen orientation to portrait for mostly everything. Games and landscape apps override this which is fine.
The youtube app for some reason is stuck in portrait (it used to switch easily in CM9 on my old i9000m).
So I have to disable orientation lock for videos.
Is there anyway to force certain apps to disregard the orientation lock? I know CM9 has it, but I'm quite happy with the touchwiz features and don't want to switch.
I also want to know about this. My GS1 does it with orientation locked. Wish I could here too
Sent from my GS3
I am still trying to figure out how to play in full screen portrait mode - somewhat like the full screen zoom option native in IOS -
Thought I could do anything I wanted the phone to do with Android.. lol maybe not -

Video Camera goes to portrait. how to stop.

On my Note II some of my videos are coming out 1080x1920 ie portrait instead of the correct landscape.
sometimes I video things with the screen facing UP in the sky (IE trying to CRUSH a rat I caught and the video comes out portrait.
how do I instruct the camera to ignore the orientation of the phone and ALWAYS encode as landscape. is there a way to can edit its meta data to display the correct orientation ?
rotating in youtube is lame
Turn off screen rotation before recording
screen rotation IS OFF (I keep it off by default hate it) the camera ignores it.

On my note 10 plus when you have screen lock ON but play a video it will still rotate horizontal. The only time auto rotate is help is when watching a video but it's too sensitive especially when laying down......
