Hi all. I just bought an mhl (hdmi adapter) for my galaxy nexus.
I'm searching everywhere to find how to force portrait mode when the phone is connected to the tv.
I already tried to lock rotation and some apps to lock rotation but none of them works.
I have tried with a samsung galaxy s2 and it works (the screen just follows the phone rotation), but with the galaxy nexus the screen is ALWAYS in landscape mode.
I really think that this is a kernel-related problem... i have franco kernel at the moment.
What do you think? Many thanks

Hi everyone, i was wondering if there was an app that can record the screen of the Galaxy Nexus (or the Nexus 7)? I know about screencast, but that only works on GB and below because of some changes that Google made to how Android draws and loads the screen in ICS+ (or something like that). Ive tried a bunch of programs on my PC that display the screen in a window, but they all run at like 2-3 FPS, and im trying to take a gameplay video so that wont work. I also know theres some sort of MHL/HDMI card that you can get for PCs to record it, but those are way too expensive. Im rooted (on both devices) so if there is a way to do it that requires root im ok with that. Thanks
Hello
I have rooted and installed CM10.1, Android 4.2.2 and have been running without issue. However, I picked up a HDMI cable and when plugged in I do have a mirrored screen, but it will display as a landscape at a 90* angle. I am unable to figure out how to rotate the image clockwise 90* so it will be correct. Is anyone else having this problem? I have looked through the settings and still coming up short.
Please help.
Thanks
I generally watch TV in the morning by plugging an hdmi cable from my nexus 10 to my TV. Today, the display on the TV started flickering and I can't figure out why. I did a lot of troubleshooting already, and I think it might be an android problem, which is why I'm posting here.
Things I did:
1) switched cables. No change in behavior
2) switched hdmi input ports on the tv. No change in behavior
3) tried several apps and even just left it sitting on the homescreen. No change in behavior
4) switched streaming device (I also have a nexus 7 2013). No change in behavior. The nexus 7 does it now too!
So #4 got me curious. I connected my nexus 5 and now it plays with no flicker. That tells me it's not the TV.
The only common denominator here is Android 4.3. Was there some update recently that might have broken this?
P.S. I'm going to crosspost this to the nexus 7 forum in case anyone there has some ideas too, since it's affecting that tablet too.
I have the Tab Pro 8.4 and have been playing GT Racing 2. The problem is the game has an option to steer the cars by tilting the Tab from left to right and when I try to do this the car spins in a circle. I've figured out that while the game is played in landscape the gyro is still registering as it was in portrait. I have tried turning the auto rotate off and forcing the Tab into landscape but it didn't help. There are no options within the game that would allow me to calibrate. I installed the game on my HTC One (M7) and it works properly. I have to believe this is a problem with the Tab and not the game itself.
Anyone else experience anything like this and or does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?
Edit.
My Tab is completely stock and not rooted at this time.

Hello everyone,
I try to share the screen of my Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5 (SM-T800) to a Acer Projector P7505 with Acer USB WIFI Dongle (MC.JG711.007).
Two days ago I started the first try, activated the 'Mirroring Screen' function on the projector in AP-Mode (so that projector shares the wifi signal) and activated 'Screen Mirroring' on the Tab.
Acer projector was found and the tab connected successful. I hear the touch sound over the projector speaker, but no picture.
Then I tested several other devices: OnePlus One with Android L, several Nexus with Android L and a Samsung Galaxy with Android L and Samsung 'Screen Mirroring'. They all work fine with the projector.
I thought its a problem of KitKat, so i upgraded the tab manually to Android L (5.0.2) and its still not working. Same result: sound, but no picture.
Then a other thing comes to my mind. The tab has a resolution of 2560 x 1600 and the projector and all other tested devices a resolution of 1920 x 1080.
So is flashed SuperSu on the tab rooted successfully and lowered the resolution with the app 'SecondScreen' while 'Screen Mirroring', but same result.
The next was to use the solution of this tread, just to give it a try (http://forum.xda-developers.com/har...experimental-enable-mirroring-device-t2812193),
same error.
After only trying the 'Screen Mirroring' function I switched the technology.
I activated the DLNA function of the projector and tried to share the screen via a DLNA stream from the tab.
Same result! connected but no screen.
Then is used the 'Screen Stream Mirroring' app to cast the screen via a VLC / OBS stream and tried to receive the signal via 'VLC Player for Android' on a other device with hotspot.
The signal received successfully the devices connected and the stream began, but no screen.
Under 4.4.2 and 5.0.2 i factory reseted the device and whiped the cache Severin times.
Can anyone help me to cure the curse of my Tab S that it won't share its screen?
Update:
I now tried to share the screen via chromecast to the projector, but i also got a blank screen.
Then i used a diferent launcher (Go Launcher) because Touchwiz stopped working when i changed the resolution.
And i tried another resolution changer, no success.
Today in the morning, i tested the screen mirroring with a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 from a friend. It works like a charm.
I ve two conclusions first the changed resolution will not be applied on the screen sharing function, or second the screen sharing method has changed on newer devices.
Has onyone an idea how i can manipulate the screen mirroring settings?
