The default screen rotation direction issue - 8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

when you see a movie i don't think the default rotation direction is convenient if you use a display monitor connect to your kindle through hdmi port.
you will see the screen up side down, sometimes you have to change the rotation manully, anybody experience this? fix?

The setting was changed in later CM builds, unfortunately the change didn't reset the persistent property.
From the built-in Terminal app:
su
(agree to SuperUser permissions if necessary)
setprop persist.hwc.mirroring.transform 2
exit
Reboot and check HDMI rotation again.

It changes the rotation automaticly when i insert hdmi cable, and the movies rotation also good.
will this be fixed in the future or i need to use terminal everytime?

[Q] Force Resolution?

When using my FIreTV connected to a HDMI->DVI adapter on my LCD monitor the FIretv (rooted) has a terrible resolution but will not allow me to set it to anything other than auto within the FireTV settings (Says unknown resolution) Does anyone know of a workaround I can do to increase the resolution another way or a fix? Thanks!

Thanks for this.... that option pops up for about a millisecond and just goes away though. Any ideas why? Looks like it automatically chooses it right off the bat since I am still holding the select button while pulling up that option...
Update: Works when plugged into my other TV but not through the DVI to HDMI adapter

Possible way to disable keyboard toggle when using wireless USB touch pad?

Hello,
I am using a Dell mouse/touch pad. It works awesomely attached to my armrest. The only issue I am have is that I have to toggle off the "enable hardware keyboard" option in order for the keyboard to popup and fully function when I want to enter text. I was wondering if anyone might know a way to have this permanently toggled off using a program or by other possible means? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Try downloading a 3rd party keyboard and setting that has the default one, I know some of them have the option to automatically disable the on screen keyboard when a USB one is attached.

Thank you for the advice,
I have tried multiple 3rd party keyboards. Still, every single time the unit boots from a full shut down I have to toggle off "Hardware Physical keyboard". (Picture attached). Just the tip of what looks like predictions shows until I toggle the setting off. I have still been researching and have yet to find a solution.
Oh, I have also tried 2 other touch pads. The issue remains across all ROMs tried.
Ohx2, I have also tried Xposed disable full screen keyboard and have also used app settings to manually set the DPI for the keyboard to no avail.
What about disabling the keyboard app in settings>applications?

I have tried a mix and match of disabling keyboard in settings/titanium backup. If I hold on the notification and view, the app info is part of the Android System. Still can't find a way or an app to change this input/hardware physical keyboard prompt.

Maybe there is an xposed module that will do what you need?
Just following up. I found another post on XDA with another person trying to accomplish the same thing I was. The post doesn't really go into any detail, but I was able to accomplish having the hardware keyboard toggled off on boot. It took the apps Tasker and Secure Settings. Created a task in Tasker, selected the Secure Settings app, selected the hardware keyboard option from one of the selections, set it to turn off in tasker, then created a profile attached to the task to perform it at boot. I hope this helps anyone else wanting to attempt the same thing.

Rotate screen?

Anyone knows how to rotate screen? I tried Closed App Settings but it doesn't work. Tried several other apps and modules. Nothing works to rotate screen.
I need rotation to force Here Maps into portrait mode in which it is possible to access settings and change map location from internal to external SD location. (Yes I know that most other settings are available in driving mode even on landscape but storage location is only available in default settings which are blank in landscape mode - known issue in Here)
The g-sensor on my phone broke, so the automatic screen rotation stopped working for me. So I've been using this app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.crape.rotationcontrol&hl=en
It has a menu bar that lets you choose between landscape and portrait mode.
It works well on my phone. Hopefully it works on your radio.
i think you would have to change the allow rotation flag in the mysql db to true to actually get it to rotate and then echo it in there every time the thing starts

Could you please explain it in more details? How to change flag in mysql?
I also need to rotate screen (Here Maps settings are not showing on landscape!).

IIRC you can get to the settings on the bottom of the screen in driving mode.

Disable overscan compensation on FTV 2?

When I had the first FTV, I had to go to the Display settings and adjust it to compensate for my TV's overscan (yeah, I know, I have a crappy TV in my bedroom) to avoid having a good inch cut out from every edge of the screen.
Now with the FTV2, the option is there in the menus, but it (most ironically) does nothing and simply tells you to fix the thing on your TV (which it can't).
Is there any way to fix this?
My FTV is not rooted, so extra points go to solutions that don't require me to go hacking the thing (which I'll have no problem doing if needed).
Thanks in advance!
Not to derail, but why can't you disable overscan on your TV? There's usually a mode OTHER than the default one that is pixel perfect.

Yeah, I know, "1:1", "Just scan", etc.
Trust me, if the TV had a way to disable overscan I'd know.
It just doesn't.

Disable left back gesture

I use the left swipe for menus a lot and was really hating the back gesture messing that up. Found https://android.gadgethacks.com/how-to/disable-androids-back-gesture-left-side-make-hamburger-menus-easier-open-0338679/ and worked perfectly. The below ADB code is what I used and assumes you have the Android SDK and ADB set up.
Code:
adb shell settings put secure back_gesture_inset_scale_left 0
You can adjust the sensitivity for each side in settings. This just turns it completely off?

Yes and it works perfectly on Pixel 5 too.
Setting lower sensitivity won't disable back gesture.

I don't think it turns out all the way, I've had it trigger in apps with no left menu. It's much less sensitive though and the menu will pop out first. I'm thinking of doing it in the right too because it's way too sensitive for the browser I use, which has a ton of gesture controls.
The sensitivity in settings did nothing for me so found this.

you should mention that others should try -1 or -2 if 0 does not work, 0 did not work for me but -2 seems to have disabled it
bramble with proton rom and kernel
I put -20 on both sides (to make sure it doesn't trigger in the cutout area in landscape mode) and use FNG instead. Works like a charm.
old thread, but this worked for disabling the right-back-gesture on Android 13/Pixel 6
adb shell settings put secure back_gesture_inset_scale_right 0
I use this command to use gesture from 3rd party application, but the original back gesture still working on my vivo x60 pro. Any thoughts please?
