I usually disable auto-rotation because it misfires too often.
I bought Nexus 7. Given its aspect ration and bezel distribution, it is awkward to be used in portrait mode. But it is difficult to see which side is horizontally up , because it lacks home button, and even the power/volume buttons are not visible from front.
So, I want to disable 90 degree and 270 degree auto-rotation, but want to allow 180 degree auto-rotation. If you have used MX Player, you would know what I mean.
Is this possible? Mine is rooted and its boot-loader is unlocked.

I was wondering if there was any way of changing the default orientation of the screen when the phone is in a certain position.
I would like it so when the phone is folded with the screen pointing out for it to be in landscape left handed, This is the position the phone needs to be in when i put it into my car mount, any help would be brill, thx
Use SBSH PhoneWeaver. You can set a profile specific for in the car. It includes a possibility of setting the orientation.
Anyone notice that the screen doesn't rotate between portrait/lanscape correctly, sometimes it won't at all, if the phone is perpendicular to the ground?
If I tilt the phone closer to the ground, it picks up the orientation correctly (~2 second delay).
Anyone else know what i'm talking about?

If by the phone being perpendicular to the ground you mean parallel to the ground (e.g. screen facing directly up) this sort of behavior is what I'd expect. Because how is the phone supposed to know how you're holding it if it's oriented like it's sitting flat on a table (roughly speaking)?

Exactly. If you were holding it perpendicularly then it would rotate no problem, theoretically.

No no, the phone's screen is parallel to the wall, then if I rotate it 90 degrees, the phone won't rotate the screen, then if I tilt the screen towards the ceiling/floor, the phone picks up and rotates properly.
It seems the OS update I just installed has fixed this behavior.
just like in honeycomb Google added a second or so delay so the phone isn't rotating when you don't want it to.
Although this can be frustrating when you do want it to rotate.
There is and will be more custom roms that remove this delay

yeah i really like it this way i always used to accidently rotate the screen and it irritated me to no end i like that its now more 'deliberate' if you want it to rotate, but i guess its personal preference.
personally the video player should always default to landscape imo usually id keep rotate off but then video player is in landscape :\ least now i can leave rotate on and not be annoyed by it
Ok I turned off auto rotation. its VERY annoying when I am lying in bed browsing and the stinking think keeps rotating the screen.
problem is now "I CAN'T" rotate when I need to.
core problem is pictures. it keeps rotating my pictures.
so its displaying pictures 90' off axis. the only pictures it does not rotate are ones I shoot in portrait. those the picture axis remains inline with the screen axis.
but if I shoot a landscape picture (phone on its side) it DISPLAYS it rotated in PORTRAIT orientation (ie using 1/3 the screen) instead of LEAVING IT the same axis as the screen not the phone.
since I don't have auto rotation turned on .... I can't "rotate" the picture by tilting the phone again.
is there a way to STOP the camera auto rotating or adding rotation info to exif ie anyway to force ALL pics to rotate to the same axis as the screen (long side to long side)
OR is there a way for me to FINE TUNE auto rotation so its not so stinking sensitive? IE make it so I have to tilt A LOT FURTHER before it "rotates" and then I could turn auto rotation back on ???
Install smart rotator
Turn on rotation
Go into the app and turn everything to auto rotate
Than turn off everything you don't want to rotate
This order works best...if you did the opposite you will have some issues with the camera at least thats what I found.
NOTE: This will not fix the home screen issue.
Installed the app so far working very well. thank you for the suggestion. I wish I could justchange the angle that triggers the shift.
When in the lockscreen, only portrait mode is available whether screen rotation is enabled or not. However, when the alarm goes off, the pop up rotates depending on the orientation if screen rotation is enabled. If you;re half asleep and pick up the phone at an akward angle, the screen rotates just as you tap on the screen. Half the time, it's no problem. The other half, though, I end up tapping dismiss instead of snooze. Is there a way of locking the pop up at a fixed orientation (landscape or portrait, doesn't really matter) without having to disable screen rotation?
I have a Vufine wearable display (http://vufine-store.myshopify.com/) I wish to use with the HTC 10.
The display is designed to be used with the right eye which is not an option for me. It can be mounted in front of the left eye, but then the video is upside down.
It is easy to find apps that will rotate the screen any direction you choose. But the ones I have tried do not rotate the image on the external display. Actually, sometimes it IS correctly oriented for a fraction of a second during the transition, but then quickly rotates to "upside down" from the left eye perspective.
Is there an app that will allow me to rotate the video output coming via the USB-C port?
