Hello-
I am interested in hooking up my SGS2 to my car display for nav etc. Here is my question: Does the MHL output on the SGS2 automatically force the display to landscape mode regardless of the phone's orientation? In other words does the phone's display stay in portrait and the MHL display go to landscape?
Thanks

From what I've seen, no it doesnt. Look up on YouTube that's where I've seen it.

Only videos go in landscape, but you could down load rotation control app and set it to what you like

I don't remember which Rom I was using but the tv output followed my phones orientation. Except video which forced landscape only.

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

Is there a mod that enables use of hdmi and tv launcher WITHOUT having the phone screen on?
Wondering because the hdmi of arc supports cec. Therefore i dont need to use the phone screen when connected to tv, and want to turn the screen of, using the tv as primary screen.

I want to make the same question and this thread was already available and open... im going to buy a cable to display some videos and movies on a tv screen and its a concern that my phone were "on" all the time
Does anyone knows?
Hi, i would like to know if it's possible to resize the keyboard in landscapemode, because when I'm using whatsapp etc. it covers more than half of the screen.
A noobfriendly way to make it work would be awesome guys

Yeah it is quite big eh... Just tried it now. But maybe as the phone is large there is no need to use landscape on it.
The portrait on this is like landscape on an Iphone lol

That's true but I'm used to write in landscapemode cause i have big thumbs so it would be really nice if someone found a way

Hello.
I am using a genuine Samsung HDMI adapter and for some reason I am unable to get a correct "screen resolution". The same happens with my Note1. The image is too big for the screen and the top/bottom parts are always cut. I have tried this in over 8 different monitors/tvs. I am running a stock international rom port. Any suggestions?
Many thanks
Maybe change ur tv resolution from aspect ratio to widescreen or full or ?

Might try different hdmi csbles, if you haven't already. And what mode is it in when you see the screen cutoff ? Ie 1080i instead of 1080p?

The 1080i and 1080p wouldn't make a difference. It only changes the way the image is refreshed on the screen. 1080p is clearer but would not make bars or screw with resolution. The resolution is still 1920x1080 on both.

Movie is the most accurate visually. I couldn't handle the difference Movie made when I was used to Standard so I had to gradually get to Movie mode by using Natural as a stepping stone. Now im using movie mode and know i'm getting the most accurate intended colors. I can't ever imagine using the oversaturated standard mode. Now we have the best color reproduction / best contrast in amoled.

I find that natural is the best for me.
I edit photos on my calibrated desktop monitor. When I view those photos on my phone, natural gives the most similar colors and contrast compared to my calibrated desktop monitor (I calibrate it every 15 days or so with a spyder).
