Hi Guys,
I've sideloaded a media app on my AFTV but on start up and navigation it's fixed in portrait mode.
Once I select a to play a video, it stays in portrait mode. On a normal android device, you'd simply tilt and it would play fullscreen.
I've sideloaded a bunch of Roation Apps (Rotate Screen Orientation, Ultimate Rotation Control...) and tried to force it in landscape rotation (and tried auto-rotation if available) but I believe as the app only starts in portrait mode, it cancels out the landscape function from these apps.
Is there any way of creating a hot key (i've a k400r keyboard attached) to rotate to landscape on command or any other solution?

I'm not close to my AFTV or Ouya, but there is a XPosed module that allows you to alter any app properties. I think it's called "App Settings", you would need XPosed and the said module. That should force the app in landscape mode every time, without a key.

For certain apps, I want to be able to use the hardware keyboard but keep the screen in portrait mode. Gyrator helps a bit, but does not do everything I want:
Example 1: Kevtris. Only works in portrait, but needs enough mappable hardware buttons to control the pieces, so keyboard needs to be out, but device is held in portait.
For this, Gyrator helps because it turns the screen back to portrait if the device is in portrait (even if the keyboard is still out)
Example 2: Morphgear. Works best in portrait mode with the game display set to be sideways (East). So keyboard is out, device is held in landscape but I want the screen to stay portrait.
Any thoughts?
I'm not sure if changescreen would work, but you can set what programs turn what way, and could add an exception to those specific programs to display only in portrait mode. It's called changeScreen - v2.5 (Mar 13 '09). HTH

Is there any way to change this? It defaults to landscape, and portrait Apps display "sideways" instead of showing up in portrait on the screen like other devices....
anyone? its pretty annoying to have portrait apps appear sideways on a TV...
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 -
Is there a way to reverse the default portrait orientation of the Note 10.1 2014?
I like holding the device in portrait with the buttons on the right and some programs that require you to run in portrait always flip the screen 180 degrees making it upside down. Amazon music, Bejewled 2, dropbox are some examples. Ive found a few apps that can force reverse portrait, but does anyone know if the default orietation can be set with a flag somewhere? im rooted
thank you
I use this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ui.robot.rotate
or this one : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.googlecode.eyesfree.setorientation
very good app to force orientation screen.
Hi all,
I wanna have my G3 use a two-pane layout whenever possible, in landscape mode. The way the Nexus 7 does it - flip to horizontal, you have 2 panes. Back to portrait - you have the regular phone UI with 1 pane etc.
I was wondering how to achieve this.
My phone's rooted and has Xposed installed, I tried App Settings and changed the DPI for some apps but the fonts just become tiny and unreadable at lower DPIs, and still I get no tablet mode in landscape nor portrait.
I tried a module called Phab7 but it didn't quite work.
Thanks!
