Having problems with getting my tablet into landscape mode when the hardware buttons are on the top. This makes it not possible to type in landscape mode when using some cases (Poetic slimline for example). It rotates in all other directions fine, including landscape mode with hardware buttons on bottom.
I tried it in both touch wiz launcher and apex launcher with the same issue.
I am rooted running a stock rom. I am using exposed framework only with nothing else custom. There was a link that talked about something similar happening on the lock screen. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2563494
Anyone run into a similar issue? Hoping there is a fix!

I saw that but assumed it was specific to the "lock screen". If it works, that would be great. I'll try it and see if it resolves my issue.

Looks like I misread that post.
Wanam Xposed is still what you want, but you'll need to go to System > Enable all rotation angles

Thanks for your response. I installed Wanam without issue. Enabled all rotation angles. Rebooted. No luck. Still does not go to landscape mode with hardware button on top. All other angles work. I check the option for lock screen rotation and that doesn't work either. :crying: Anything else I can try??
Disregard above. Gravity box has options under lock screen and display tweaks that resolve this!

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.

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.

I guess this is a two-for-one. I did a completely fresh install of CM7 today. I applied the LCD density change manually, and I'm seeing that a good few apps aren't scaling (as in, they appear smaller, but are fully functional). On the previous installs, the apps essentially all worked, and I haven't found a way to get them to scale. Any ideas?
Also, I noticed that now, the messaging app uses the old white theme. I really liked the black one, that had stayed through my installs from a 6.x all the way to 7.0.2. Any way to switch it back? The theme changer didn't change anything.
Thanks.
Messaging - hit menu on the main part - settings - scroll down to extra settings and check black background.
As for the scaling I couldn't tell you. I have the problem too.

Awesome! I can't believe I didn't think to try just tapping menu and settings... thanks.
If anyone knows how to solve the scaling issue, the solution is welcome. It's just odd that it worked before, and now it won't.

Download spare parts from the market, open it up and make sure compatibility mode is not selected then reboot. This should solve scaling issues. But there are some apps which all wayscseem to have issues.

Hi ,
I'm sure I've seen this in several videos of pre-release Android ICS ! The home screen and the app drawer rotate in landscape mode.
Apparently it isn't the case in Android 4.0.1 on the GN... Why, why did they remove the feature ?! Am I missing something ?
[Sorry for the likely poor english, not from here]
EDIT: Seems I can't remove my own posts here for some reason. Slightly rewritten to at least make sense.
There has never been official support for that as far as I know. Some custom launchers implemented it.
What I said above was before I saw you mention pre-release ICS. In that case it indeed seems strange. Perhaps it was buggy?
Home screen rotate
I thought it would as well as am most disappointed , as it actually does work perfectly well when you plug in the mhl cable and turn it into landscape mode. Just dont understand why not without the cable , Perhaps a request to be put in for the next software update ?
Exactly, if you connect it to your TV with a MHL cable you can rotate the screen no problem.

Can you take a picture of the TV screen? I want to see what the launcher looks like in landscape.
I took some pictures, and there is a picture of the lockscreen as well ;-)

It looks quite polished, I don't see why Google removed it at the last minute?
Check your settings, the rotate option might be disabled.

There is no such option. I mean there is but it does not affect the main screen.

There is an option. It's in 'system settings' -> 'Launcher preferences' -> 'General' -> 'Auto-rotate screen'.
Your home screen should now rotate between landscape and portrait. Nice and intuitive setting location, right?

It doesn't work on the home screen. Never did on any official builds. The option is there,but it only affects applications, not the home screen.

Why bump a thread from November ?? And there is no such thing as launcher preferences. You are running a rom that has it.

I didn't really think to mention the rom I'm running. I'm running ICS Passion 10.6. In this rom there are two setting for it, one in 'Display' -> 'Auto-rotate screen' which seems to control rotation in apps, and one in 'Launcher preferences' -> 'General' -> 'Auto-rotate screen' which enables home screen rotation.
As mentioned by joshnichols189, I'm running a rom that has the option NOT an official release. Again, my apologies for the Confusion.

I wasn't trying to bump the thread. I was looking for the answer myself and found this forum post. I found the answer myself afterwards and thought I would be witty and post a response. Of course my response was unfortunately flawed, but still well-intentioned. The thread's only a few months old, I really don't see the problem here.
FWIW, at least on my G-Nex, this app allows the stock launcher to either auto-rotate or be locked in landscape: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.devasque.rotationlocker
XDA thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1412752
I don't understand why if i disable screen rotation no apps (ie gogle maps) will rotate!!! Is it possible to have the screen rotation in the apps and not in the home screen?? Is it a bug in 4.2?? Before the upgrade my home screen did not rotate but the apps did. >Why now is different?
Thank you
If you turn auto rotation off, then you won't see auto rotation(obviously)... That is supposed to happen, and always have(that is what that setting is for).
Your homescreen, however, is not supposed to rotate at all, and if it does, I'd have to ask you, whether you are actually running the stock rom or some custom rom, and whether, you are using a different launcher? All of these things could course your homescreen to rotate(on purpose obviously).

Actually I'm using a custom ROM and no launchers but it's almost like a stock, it's the Rigel R6. Sorry but the screen rotation added to the 4.2 what is supposed to do? Before 4.2 there was no screen rotation but the apps were rotating.. now there is the screen rotation and also the Home screen rotate
What is the "stock behavior" of the screen rotation???
Thank you so much!!

there is absolutely no change in screen rotation pattern in 4.2 as far as Galaxy Nexus is concerned.
4.2 only brought changes in screen rotation for tablets. Phones have exactly same behavior as they had in 4.1.2

Yea then it is definitely your rom... This has nothing to do with android as such.
Also it seems like you are confusing a couple of things, but anyway nothing changed in the screen rotation behaviour. Meaning that you will have to ask in the ROM thread if there is a setting specifically for homescreen rotation, and otherwise you will just have to use another rom.
