[Q] Screen Orientation (Landscape/Reverse Landscape) - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

Hi All,
Does anyone know of a way to reverse the direction of landscape mode? Instead of a 90 degree rotation, I'd prefer a 270 degree rotation (Reversed Landscape) as the default action. I tried Orientation Control, but it just forces everything to 270 degrees instead of only when an app requests landscape.
I'm sure there's probably a way buried in framework-res.apk, but any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Does this do what you want? The "forced auto" seems to be it. Here is an article briefly describing the app.

Thank you forum poster 'romracer', this has fulfilled my requirements.

Enabling G-Sensor 360 degree rotate

Does anyone know how to enable TF3D 360 degree screen rotation?
By using G-Config I was able to enable selected application to rotate 180 degree. However, if I turn the phone upside down, they do not rotate to 180 degrees. 270 degree rotation may also be desirable.
I would like to know how to rotate the screen 0, 90, 180, 270. and 360 degrees. (In other words I might want to turn off certain rotation angles.)
If there is a way to control individual apps and etc.?
Found ChangeScreen
ChangeScreen is an application that provides 0,90.270, and 360 rotation.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=468488
Since all G-config does is add entries into the registry, maybe the 0,90.270,360 capability already resides in TF3D v3.
However, so far I've only been able to get TF3D to do the 0 and 90 degrees counter-clockwise rotations.

lol. no. rosie rotation is to enable a landscape mode for rosie. the 270 rotation is believe is worked into the regular rotation toggle in android. to my understanding it is a 270 rotation or no rotation option only.
yes, you can just turn off rotation in the settings, but you cant go back to 180, idk why you would want to anyway.

Because some of us prefer 170 rotation, like when i'm laying on the bed and i want it portrait i just roll on my right side. I actually switched roms because of this.
Same. I HATE 270 rotation, main reason im avoiding fresh.
This really should be an option for the next

Main problem is MMS.. Sometimes i recieve images that have been taken rotated clockwise.. So when i rotate the phone clockwise to right-side-up the image, it just rotates the image to bottom.. So i have to turn the phone upside down to actually see what the image is... Techincally it is the same thing if the camera was rotated counter-clockwise, but i can deal with it in 1 direction.. it is annoying when i have to deal with it in 2 directions...
I agree, the 270 degree rotation is less than optimal for my use. The annoying part for me is when I'm carring the phone in my hand in portrait mode, perpendicular to the ground, and as I set it down it auto rotates because I did not place it down perfectly straight, and thinks I'm trying to rotate.
Would love the option to set it standard.
is there any way to get this option in another rom, I want the 270 rotation. And would there be any way for a 360 degree rotation, which seems like it would be ridiculous, but sometimes is quite useful.

[Q] - HDMI out rotation orientation settings?

Is there any way to change this? It defaults to landscape, and portrait Apps display "sideways" instead of showing up in portrait on the screen like other devices....
anyone? its pretty annoying to have portrait apps appear sideways on a TV...

Camera icons autorotate, problem or not?

Hello!
Can somebody confirm that icons (for settings etc ) in stock camera, even with autorotate is on, are always in landscape mode if you turn on camera when holding phone in "portrait" mode! They would autorotate if you lean your phone in landscape (only to the left) and than back to portrait!
Stock JB, without modification before and after, factory reset before and after upgrade to JB!
Thanks in advance!
I don't quite understand the question, because the way I see it I can't believe you've asked.
If you hold you phone (whilst in camera) landscape, then the buttons are going to rotate to landscape.
If you hold you phone in portrait, then the buttons are going to be orientated for portrait.
Otherwise your buttons are going to be the wrong way when you rotate?

No, if i use my phone i portrait position, and if i go into camera my icon are oriented like in landscape mod, by 45 degrese, to enable autorotate for icons i nead to lean phone to landscape (only to left) , and than portrait mode orientation for icons is good!

[Q] Reverse portrait orientation

Is there a way to reverse the default portrait orientation of the Note 10.1 2014?
I like holding the device in portrait with the buttons on the right and some programs that require you to run in portrait always flip the screen 180 degrees making it upside down. Amazon music, Bejewled 2, dropbox are some examples. Ive found a few apps that can force reverse portrait, but does anyone know if the default orietation can be set with a flag somewhere? im rooted
thank you
I use this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ui.robot.rotate
or this one : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.googlecode.eyesfree.setorientation
very good app to force orientation screen.
