For example the new angry birds locks to horizontal on one side only and it won't flip to the other side.it was not an issue until I got a case. The case has a kick stand on the opposite side that the game defaults to. The same thing happens with many others as well.
Ideas?
Some games only support one landscape orientation and not the other, other support both landscape orientations and will switch.

With your case, is it possible to flip the tablet 180°?
You can lock the tablet in the orientation you want by turning auto rotate off before launching the game. You can also do this in game if you switch to your home screen.

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.
Running a non-rooted G2.
Anyone else notice sluggish screen rotation when going from landscape to portrait or vice versa? It seems like it takes over 1s to switch, closer to 1.5s I would say just trying to count out loud.
The only running apps I have besides the stock ones are Tasker, LauncherPro Plus, Beautiful Widgets (1 large widget on homescreen), BattStat, and SwiftKey.
Any way to adjust the speed at which the screen switches orientation?
Thanks
LP+ does have its moments where it slows down. Original launcher is nicee enough no need to replace it
I've noticed a couple glitches related to this now that I've rooted. It's slow, then it shows the icons and even on screen keyboard in smashed or stretched pixels before it changes orientation. Just for a split second but it's annoying and never did it before.
Yeah, I don't know why the automatic screen rotation is so slow with LauncherPro.
My solution for now was to disable the auto rotate under LauncherPro's Behavior Settings.
The G2 switches instantly to landscape mode for you once you slide out the physical keyboard. No lag this way, but you don't get it to change orientation unless you slide out the keyboard.
I've noticed this too! I thought I was the only one. The funny thing is that when you're in a program that needs the accelerometer there is no lag, but on homescreen there is that slight delay when rotating from portrait to landscape.
I've had this issue with SF, corrected by setting desktop scrolling speed to 0 on ADW launcher setting.
Not sure if this will work on your device.
Hey guys,
I like to lock my screen orientation to portrait for mostly everything. Games and landscape apps override this which is fine.
The youtube app for some reason is stuck in portrait (it used to switch easily in CM9 on my old i9000m).
So I have to disable orientation lock for videos.
Is there anyway to force certain apps to disregard the orientation lock? I know CM9 has it, but I'm quite happy with the touchwiz features and don't want to switch.
I also want to know about this. My GS1 does it with orientation locked. Wish I could here too

I am still trying to figure out how to play in full screen portrait mode - somewhat like the full screen zoom option native in IOS -
Thought I could do anything I wanted the phone to do with Android.. lol maybe not -
I have the Samsung Flip cover on my Note II.
Most apps can be used in landscape mode in both orientations but some use just the "default" landscape orientation. Unfortunately, this is the one with the flip cover in user's direction. When the phone is on the table it is slanted downward away from the user and also prevents me from setting the note standing as an "A".
Is it possible to tell the phone to use the "reverse landscape" orientation as the main one?
Also, can I get the stock launcher to display in landscape mode? I've seen there are some utilities for this but none seem to work perfectly. I've read that the next Android version should make this possible..?
(btw, I must say I really dislike the side buttons that are sticking out too much compared to my good ol' Dell Streak - makes it easy to press them unintentionally)
(not rooted)
I found a problem with some apps that run exclusively in landscape mode, the notch are is not used.
I, unlike others, am a fan of the notch, and I always want to use the full real estate of the screen. Even the launcher refuses to use that zone while in landscape mode... And while most people hate the notch, remember one thing... we are rocking IPS not OLED... so while the notch is off, you can still see light bleed from it, which for me, it's annoying as hell.
Is there a way to force apps to use that zone while landscape? I came across discussions from essential phone and oneplus and they can natively (because customization level) force apps into full screen mode.

This Magisk module will do it.

It's a system-wide toggle though, not a per-app toggle.
