Quick question about the full sense 4 in this rom. It has option to have full auto rotation in rosie in settings. But it never rotates to landscape mode with the widgets,etc. Am I missing something here? Or is it not full rosie with landscape? I checked out the rosie.apk and it has xml,etc for landscape and portrait modes. Just doesnt rotate properly. Also no option to change default homescreen. I am wondering if it is actually any different than the stock rosie outside of the app drawer changes.

Hey all. I've done a few searchs and read through a bunch of ROM threads (god, the dutty ones are full of stupid posts by stupid people), but haven't found any real answers.
How do we disable auto rotate / landscape mode in the new v3 Manila?
Is there any way of getting back the old notifications functionality where you click any of the icons along the top, and it brings up a screen with bigger icons for Notifications/Sound/Connections.
Use the old pop up menus? I am aware there's a tweak to make the 8 item menu into a 10 item. Can that hack be extended to 15 items?

If you use Dutty Extreme, then you had to enable the landscape rotate in the first place! In which case, to turn it off you just uninstall the "Dutty Enable Landscape" cab from "remove programs"

Nope, which is a real shame because the new notifications screen is USELESS! the "new text" is not the only thing that's useful to see! You can, however, disable the new notifications menu by going to the Task Manager (built into Duttys Extreme - sorry I can't help with where in the start menu it is because I've moved everything around to my own taste!) then go to Services and change the Notifications thingy to be "manual"

The thread that tells you how to get to 10 items actually meantions that these settings were just how that person had arrived at something that used the whole screen height perfectly. He explained which values change what and you should be able to adapt that to get whatever height of menu you want!
Hope that helps!

I'm using a different ROM now. I'm using the Lite one to try the speeds and the auto landscape is already cooked in. I was reading Dutty's because his ROM was the first to have it. I searched the thread where I got my ROM, but no one seems to dislike the auto rotate *shrug*. I don't mind it except in bed when I'm on my side.

Ok, I guess I'll modify the registry. Was hoping to disable it altogether as I don't find it all that pretty and it's simply bloat. On many apps, the new menus don't fit the theme at all.
Thanks for your helpful suggestions!

In that case, I suggest using AE Button to map one of the volume buttons to "rotate screen", then you can over-ride the auto-rotate on a case by case basis by rotating the screen manually. I've got it set to long press of volume up and down for rotating each way, so if something gets stuck, or as you say I'm lying down, then I can over-ride whichever way I want.

I've tried disabling the auto rotate for all programs, and while it works, it interferes with some other rotation programs. I use kaisoft's screen rotate, and when i rotate something, the orientation gets forced back to portrait a few seconds later.
I've gone back to Dutty's 1.7 ROM as it suits my needs better. I'm finding auto rotation with the new manila has not improved any more since the old gsen/gyrator days when people had tonnes of problems. It's still a hassle controlling what you want rotated.
Thanks
try this which i found somewhere in dutty's thread:
HKCU\Software\HTC\HTCSENSOR\GSensor
Change the autorotation key to 0
this is the only thing changed, i've not tried the above reg.
it stopped the auto-rotation for me and also solved the photo orientation bug while in camera
opera will still rotate
it works!

Yes, this way works. It stop Manila auto-rotation, but it also effects the orthers software.
It works

I just updated to a Froyo stock ROM yesterday, and don't like the way the screen now rotates in 3 planes.
Does anyone know how to change the rotation to 2 planes only, the way it was in 2.1?
In other words it should show in portrait mode, and counter-clockwise landscape, only.
With 2.2 it also does clockwise landscape.
With CyanogenMod you can just edit in the settings menu.
Unfortunately, I think TheBiles is correct. You will have to flash a ROM that has the functionality (or lack there of, as the case may be) in order to disable the functionality.

Well, I will see if I can get used to it. Luckily I am rooted, so if it drives me as crazy as I think it will, I will follow your suggestion.
Thanks for the reply
Hi all, I have a newbie question about the default landscape orientation. Can it be set to 90 instead of 270 degrees so the buttons are on the left side when in landscape applications?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Not sure how you could set this with HTC Sense.
This is an option you can select on Cyanogen Mod though.

Just to make clear - I don't want landscape in Sense. I'm asking about landscape orientation in other applications e.g. the default video player or some games that are landscape by default.
from a sense rom prospective i dont think its possible.
however there might be an app in the market .
Hello,
Quick question. After I flashed the QPE rom on M8 there seems to be no quick way to access the "Auto Rotate Screen" except by going through the settings --> display.
I tried to download widgets from playstore but they didn't work.
Does anyone know any solution?
Thanks,
Anyone have a solution?

Hi, Punira...
Have you tried this...

Used it for three years on a variety of Android devices, and it works on my stock M8.

Thanks!
Thanks,
This works great!!
Can't you use the quick setting panel? Pull down the notification panel with 2 fingers will take you immediately there & tap "Auto Rotate". If Auto Rotate is not, you should be able to edit the shortcuts & add it (at least in stock form).

Correct... He could just have removed one of the less important quick settings and added the auto rotate. Like DND, something that I personally never used and probably won't, so might as well remove that one and add auto rotate.

Yeah... this is a more elegant solution to the one I posted earlier. Just wasn't sure if the OPs Custom ROM would allow it.
@Punira
Afraid I don't know anything about the QPE rom you have installed... but if it's anything like HTC Sense factory stock, you should be able to edit the quick settings tiles.
See my attached screenshots... pull down the quick settings tiles (with two fingers on stock) and tap on the edit button, circled in red in my attached screenshot.
You can then drag'n'drop tiles accordingly... including adding the Auto-Rotate tile .
Hope this helps... and good luck.

Hi Guys,
I've been trying to figure out how to force the rotation of lockscreen into landscape.
I have tried all rotation control apps, paid and not. However, I can't find what I was looking for.
Ultimate Rotation Control provides near what I was looking for. It can force the lockscreen rotation to any orientation I wanted,
however, once I set the rotation of lockscreen to force landscape always, everytime I unlock my tablet, the home screen which is
locked to Portait was displayed as Landscape for about 2 seconds.
I was thinking that if, it is not only an app. If, it was edited thru the internal system applications, it will provide the smoothness
that I was looking for.
I already tried to edit the framework-res, I still can't find the XML where the lockscreen can be forced to landscape.
Several nights browsing Google hoping that some articles are already there to teach how to edit the lockscreen but I can't see any.
Due to my work overseas, I was not able to focus on this. But now I'm somehow pissed and I wanted my tablet to be the
way I want it, to look the way how I wanted.
Can someone show me the right path to where I should start? I don't mind if it would mean that I should study Android as I am a
software engineer, but just a beginner in java.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Kemaro
I'm using Rotation Control to force landscape. So far so good. Haven't noticed any problems and all apps like Instagram are forced to landscape without any issues.

Why is your lockscreen displaying in portrait anyway it's a landscape device and should display as landscape natively? :what:

The lockscreen of Tab S is always on auto rotate. It is not natively in landscape.
I wanted it to force landscape always but only the lockscreen. As for the home screen, it should be auto rotate.

I'm sorry but that's not what happens on my SM-T805 using Phoenixrom.
The Lockscreen and Homscreen stays natively in landscape and doesn't rotate at all.
I can use a rotation app to auto rotate the home screen, but the lockscreen stays landscape no matter what.
I don't remember it being any different on total stock.

You have the 8.4 version? That is a portrait device. I just assumed it was the 10.1 because you said landscape.
