I need your advice about how to get such a basic usability feature.
Not to toggle auto-rotation, but directly toggle between portrait and landscape.
Auto-rotation is evil, try to use the phone laying on your side. So we need a fixed orientation and a convenient way to toggle it.
GravityBox allows to assign action to fingerprint (only to specific fingers).
But the main problem is how to find an application (xposed mod, magisk mod) which can flip the orientation, by running app, or running its activity or somehow.
Xposed additions seems to fail on Oreo, what to use?
"Rotation" offers the funcionality you are looking for. The paid version also adds a tasker Plugin so you can set up a Task that will change your Orientation and set the GB fingerprint launcher to execute said task. I personally use the fingerprint launcher to bring up an Xposed edge panel that includes seperate buttons for normal, force landscape and force portrait.
This solution is not free, but it works flawlessly.

I am searching for an app to toggle the screen on and off when you rotate face down or turn reverse portrait (or even shake the unit possibly).
I have been using MobileMagic to do just that, but it's not completely stable and I don't use any of its other features.
I had hoped that Gyrator 2 would do it, but it only offers screen off, not screen toggle.
Any suggestions?
Bump
Or should I move this request to,
xda-developers > General discussion > Development and Hacking ?
I Would love that too, only I would like the screen to lock instead. As do you, I've been using MobileMagic for that, but it is unstable and for rotating applications I'm using FlipIt now (since it is included in Dutty's ROMs)
Search for g-trigger on xda, it as a screen on/off toggle action that you can set to a specific shaking. Hope it help.
Try this

Hi,
I have seen several apps, which will rotate the screen, i.e. Gyrator. So far that works nice.
But in some cases, i like to switch screen manually and override the automatic sensor.
Is there a way to do this?
If not, is there a tool, which lets me manually rotate the screen, same like in my old Trinity?
Best regards,
Michael
registry hack to enable screen rotation ui tab
http://pocketnow.com/thought/bringing-manual-screen-rotation-back-to-the-touch-diamond
describes how to enable the screen rotation ui tab, and works on the blackstone too.
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

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!
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.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This Magisk module will do it.

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