For certain apps, I want to be able to use the hardware keyboard but keep the screen in portrait mode. Gyrator helps a bit, but does not do everything I want:
Example 1: Kevtris. Only works in portrait, but needs enough mappable hardware buttons to control the pieces, so keyboard needs to be out, but device is held in portait.
For this, Gyrator helps because it turns the screen back to portrait if the device is in portrait (even if the keyboard is still out)
Example 2: Morphgear. Works best in portrait mode with the game display set to be sideways (East). So keyboard is out, device is held in landscape but I want the screen to stay portrait.
Any thoughts?
I'm not sure if changescreen would work, but you can set what programs turn what way, and could add an exception to those specific programs to display only in portrait mode. It's called changeScreen - v2.5 (Mar 13 '09). HTH

how can i simulate keyboard sliding out (without actually opening it) to obtain the landscape state with all programs so that i can switch from portrait view (4all) to landscape (4all) apart from the G sensor.
I have tried all rotation programs ( Gyrator2, changescreen, G-config, G list) and i'm really disappointed they have issues with the phone dialer and with switching to certain programs they return to portrait view even if this program is enabled for rotation by above software.
If i can do what i mentioned above it will be great hack that will resolve many problems
where r the developers
Don´t need a developer for that, a simple search might have yielded the results you are looking for....
Get a registry editor, then change HKLM>System>GDI>Rotation>HideOreintaionUI from 1 to 0. Now you can assign the left hardware key long press action (under Settings>Buttons) to rotate your screen.

even that doesn't prevent the phone from switching to portrait view specially with the phone dialler
As far as I know, Gyrator2 is currently the best option out there. It doesnt work perfectly in the TF3D interface tabs, but everywhere else, it works pretty well.
Hopefully a better solution will come out soon, cause I agree, this thing should work like an iphone in switching between portrait/landscape modes.
honestly, im using g config and g list and dont have any problems out of it...the only thing i dont like about it is that when im making a phone call itll switch to landscape mode when i put it to my ear bc i never hold the phone str8 up and down...how do i disable it from switching from portrait to landscape while n the dialer screens....other than that, no problems this way...please explain ur problem more in depth and hopefully i can help
hopefully someone can help me with my question tho about how to disable g config and g list from swtiching while the phone dialer screens are opened (during a call mainly)...thanks n adavance
by using registry editor delete "Dialog" string from
HKCU-->Software-->HTC-->HTCSENSOR-->GSensor-->WhiteList
the problem that the "dailog" string is responsible for rotation of other programs than the phone dialer for example u will discover that the favorite page of Opera browser will rotate no more after deleting this string.(and many other things that share this string)
there is another idea but i don't know how to do it through the registry?
By changing the horizontal rotation angle threshold to a minimal angle so you have to put your phone nearly horizontal to obtain landscape view.

this would be a great idea and if someone could figure that out and make a cab that would be great...a cab that makes it to where u have to have the phone "horizontal" (or nearly that so theres not as noticable of a lag) would be great because thats the only time i need the landscape is when im holding it horizontally...can someone PLEASE help????
Where are the EXPERTS
Gyrator2 can be configured to not switch while making a phone call. My problem is that I couldn't figure out how to get it not to switch in the lock screen. I'm sure that with enough help from the Gyrator experts I could have completely configured Gyrator to work the way I wanted it. Even if Gyrator had worked the way that I wanted it to, there were still issues with returning to portrait view even if I had the phone in landscape. But I believe that this is a known issue with Gyrator and touchflo 3D. But since I have the Tilt2, the easiest solution for me was mapping the PTT button to rotate my screen. At this point in time I don't think there is a perfect bug free solution and there might not be until HTC decides to implement that functionality.

very easy : run Gyrator menu-->events-->add new event-->choose Orientation-->Edit Event-->(name it as u want)choose Application-->choose >Learn Widow Class-->click on task bar (Modify Event) to get out from Gyrator(but the program still running)-->lock ur screen-->withdraw ur stylus then reinsert it-->the Gyrator come back with ConfettiLockScreen in the application name (u can simply add it as new application for gyrator without doing previous steps.
Don't forget to make Orientation--> Portrait (only)
& Actions-->Rotate screen.
don't forget to promote it to become above rotate line.

WHERE ARE THE GENIUSES
Is it possible to rotate the screen clockwise to "landscape" mode?. It only works in anticlockwise tilt/rotation.
Am i missing a setting or is it anti left handed people design?
I think it was originally built this way because that's the way the G1's physical keyboard was oriented. For phones that don't have a keyboard... how does left-handed vs right-handed even matter?
Regardless, I don't know why it hasn't been updated, but I'm guessing it's just because it's not a huge bother to anybody or a very high-priority thing.
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.
Is there any way with OneUI to get the navigation bar (either as buttons or as gestures) to rotate to landscape along with an application?
It makes absolutely NO sense for the navigation buttons to be sitting on the left or right hand edge of the display if an app (like Internet) is rotated to be used landscape. This is a standard feature on pretty much every other Android phone I've ever used, but seems to be specifically prevented on the Note 10+
Well, I get your point, but, I find the nav bar easier to operate on the side rather than in the bottom when in landscape, I tried a workaround with "all in one gestures" app, and I did not like it
