To add to this, some launchers override the system settings, so if you're using a custom launcher, try going into it's preferences and enable auto rotate.

Sorry I never heard of that launcher....try settings/launcher and see if there is a display or effects option, might be under something like that.

Your welcome any I thanked you on that thread.
There's also a toggle in an app called quick settings. Configure to acces from pulldown and "quick" control "settings". Autorotate is one I have enabled, along with wifi, screen timeout, and auto sync. The rest we already have in the pulldown: wifi, bluetooth, gps,4g ect.

just uncheck auto rotation on the display settings

[Q] ICS CWM9 Beta0 Ics Epic 4g WHy won't screen auto rotate turn off?

Just some questions, My phone is somehow always set on Auto rotate even when the selection for it is off. I was wondering If any, most likely, if anyone has had this small but annoying issue before? One more thing about the phones flash is that just a bug with this build? or can it be fixed via user?
Thanks for the listen
There is a great Q&A thread for CM9 here that has lots of helpful people in it. Plus you should make your title an actual question.
With that said did you turn off auto-rotate in all 3 places?

Very helpful thread I didn't see the one in Accessibility but still after enabling all rebooting then turning them off, this screen continues to auto rotate. I don't know what could be wrong? is there a way to block it using the terminal emulator?
What is CWM9? Sorry had to say it

Also are you using the stock launcher? If not does your launcher have a rotate setting?

Capacitive Buttons

Any way to completely disable them? Running AOKP and would like a Nexus-like experience. I know we can disable the lights, I don't want them to work at all.
Get a button remaper app and remap it to focus for all 4 keys.

Get a root explorer. and either mod/delete System > Usr > Keylayout > melfas_touchkey.kl
I would delete it. Then they shouldnt work at all.
EDIT: you are going to have to delete more than just that one. I believe you are going to have to edit Generic.kl and possibly qwerty.kl as well. Let me extract them and look at them side by side in notepad++
Okay here flash this attached file and you should be golden. ive edited all appropriate files.
Thanks for the zip, it works perfectly.

Nope the zip just disables the ability to press them. Lights and everything else controlling them will well should still work. The zip just says to android that search menu back and home buttons aren't available. Just the same as a galaxy nexus or tablet would.

You should probably make a little thread with that enabler/dis-abler zip in the apps section of t989 because i'm sure there are alot more people that would find this very useful..
Just sayin, and thanks

Hey I was wondering, how do I turn the capacitive button lights off permanently. Also is there a way to have them off but still have BLN available? Right now mine stay on while I use phone, like they're supposed to but I want them off.

[Q] Strange vibration / haptic feedback problem

When using certain music apps (poweramp, stock sound player..) the vibration on the phone freaks out and just buzzes and pulses. I can't figure out what is causing it.
Please tell us some more information about the phone so we can help you.
For example, what ROM or Samsung touchwiz software are you on? Are you rooted?

I would try uninstalling all those music apps and then do some detective work and install each app one by one to see which app it is. Report back what you find out.

A shot in the dark here,,,,but go to /settings/sound/
Scroll to the bottom and disable "Auto Haptic" if it is enabled.

Right on right on.
Also.... it's not so obvious...but long pressing on that menu item/switch brings up a blacklist/whitelist to choose which apps will be affected by auto-haptic though I don't use it myself.

Aside from multitasking what else does this new update contain.
I noticed it moved my pull down toggles around. ..

+1. Is it even worth stepping back from jedi 6.1.2? The only thing I can think of is the better battery life of the stock rom over the custom ones if all we are getting is the multi windows software from this.

I've noticed that there are new ink colors for the pen on the lock screen. Also, it feels like haptic feedback is a bit weaker.
Anyone know if we can customize the toggles in the notification window?

Try under display. I see it on clean ROM, and someone said theyd noticed they were rearranged I bet they included that as well.
Don't see anything under display. Bummer I guess
For some reason the multi view is not working any more.
I got the little tab. . But when I click program like google mail and Chrome the open in full screen. It worked for a few hours but then it stopped. ..

Patching it using ExynosAbuse breaks the camera now, though.
Back Button does not activate multi-window
I am on stock ROM no rooting done at all.
After the update, tried to hold down the back button but will not activate the multi window.
I can only activate it on the notification bar.
Please advise and thank you.
I would make sure under settings that its enabled and if it is then try a reboot and renable the feature as I have two notes one which is stock and works just fine
