If you set your phone up on your dash it can be used as a HUD display, text readout, gps nav, etc... any way to make an app that inverts your screen so you can read it through a mirror/windshield reflection

There is a heads up display app in the market called: GPS HUD that will give you some of what you are looking for Mate, go check it out. Its FREE!
Hope that helps....

AndroHUD also does this.
I was thinking more of the entire screen. Its happening already on tnz blend ics rom on accident on my epic but the touchscreen is oriented correctly so the button pressing is off.

Hi. I'm sitting here in bed and the wife is complaining the home key lights keep her awake. I'm using shadow rom with the red nightmode render. Just gotta turn these lights off. Ideas?

Are you rooted? If so, the app "LEDs Hack" in the market will do this. It can be configured to turn them off automaticall when plugged in, which is how I have it set.
Perfect. Thank you.

I have used this app forever... I never have home keys illuminate no matter what.
LEDs hack is a sweet app. Kinda glitchy but essential if you use it as a desk clock or read e-books on it.
Also has a plugin option in tasker!

i knew those already
but yes, there are still a lot of new people to the SGS family to know those TW tricks
I knew too... Coming recently from sprint sgs2 , just thought id offer the tip since was no thread on anything of the sort.. Its probably just same on all galaxy s devices with 2.3.5 ..maybe maybe not!

there's also an app called "screen filter" that dims the screen beyond factory levels to help with nighttime viewing.
and its free
Id be carefull with screen filters .. Once i used an app of some sort that dimmed screen to 0%
Leaving me to hope i knew how to find the app on the black screen just by remebering where abouts it was

Just found this app on Google Play that allows full rotation with the Nexus 7 when on the homescreen or in any app.
The app is completely free and doesn't require root.
Check it out!

I would prefer if there was an app that moved the icons to the bottom of the screen etc instead of just rotating them and leaving them where they are.

This is normal on ICS and JB. The Galaxy Nexus behaves this way too.
The only way to accomplish this is tablet mode. Tablet mode always has the status bar at the bottom for all rotations. EOS does this and has full rotation built in.

"Ultimate screen rotation" works great as well. It's free and I believe there is a paid version too.

OP's ap works as advertised, cheap, no surprises.
(I was under impression home rotate, rotation was a big deal.)
Wanted landscape home for car mount.
THS
I am liking the one OP posted so far.

I use ultimate screen rotation too! Works great for me!

Try sslauncher, it lets you rotate anything (even individual icons or text). Screens rotate and let's you have completely different themes in portrait and landscape. Well worth the cost for the full version.
Good find.
Not sure if you guys are aware, but homescreen rotation works with 4.1.2 with the stock launcher

I stumbled across a cool little feature while the screen is off. Cover the light and proximity sensors for several seconds and the top half of the screen will emit an aqua blue aura that displays missed calls, messages, and battery. I know this feature is somewhat useless, just thought I'll do some digging after it accidentally popped up on me while handling the phone.
Edit: Cool, I didn't realize it was the Quick Glance feature. Thought I was going crazy when I couldn't figure out how to reproduce it.
Hmm I do not see that

Doesn't happen here, either. Is this some kind of buried setting?
I could see this being useful if it could detect your phone is in your pocket, and when you pull it out, it would show that information.
It's in settings - motion - quick glance.
Then if you scroll down while still in motion to advanced settings there are more options for it in there.

Yeah I found it, very neat. I turned it on, I'll see if I continue to like it or if I find it annoying.I turned on a few more motion features. Why not try them?
The phone must also be laying flat (like on the table for example) otherwise it doesn't work.
Yeah it doesn't seem to be too reliable plus the info goes away too fast for me

thanks for this...no more pressing the power button when my phone is on the nightstand just to see the time or battery...etc...nice feature
Cool.

Does turning this on have and detrimental effects on battery life? Does it get activated accidentally in your pocket?
Love it. Wish it was faster, though. My screen turn on lag is not good
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app
I noticed you can press the touch keys in those few seconds while the screen lights up and it will make the drip sound... little annoying in the middle of the night.

Don't think it would do much damage to the 3100mAh battery. I'm still getting over a day's use, at least 6 hours of screen on with the quick glance feature on. According to others, it only triggers if the phone has been laying on a flat surface. So I think it'll be just fine in our pockets.
Im on jedi x 13, and have pie launcher working, just curious to what everyone is using it for. I had toggles on it, but the pull down is good for that, just cant think of what to use it for at the moment.

I use it for quick access to necessary apps while I'm out n about on my bicycle. music maps etc its not as valuable as say is you were on nexus 7 but its a awesome jedi feature. I use it without the info showing because I like using the s pen thanks b whoever posted those awesome Hover point icons. If your feeling pie I recommend you checkout a app called relaunch1

why not just show your screen caps?
I've set it up with basic buttons like, back, home, recent apps, menu. I always use it coz it just appears on the side or bottom screen so i don't have to look down to press home or whatever.
POWERED by FROSTY!
Yeah ive tried it for all those things, found that the integrated phone features were easier and more user friendly. I like the feature and idea, just need the proper functionality for it.
