Hi, I have a stock TP2 running SPB Mobile Shell.
Shell responds to the device when it's tilted which screws up the screen layout - I'm guessing Shell isn't deigned to be rotated.
So I want a way to have shell not rotate. I've tried Gyrator but I can't seem to understand what kind of rule to setup and have tried many that don't work.
Basically, HELP!
I just don't want the screen to rotate when on any of the SPB Mobile Shell home screens. Any help would be appreciated

What about a manual rotate app? try this one...

It makes your left home soft button into the rotate button but it also gives you an app that rotates the screen when you press it.

Thanks for this. Unfortunately Mobile Shell removes the bottom soft buttons so I'm not sure this app would work with it

If you turn TF3D/Sense back on, on the settings tab there's g-sensor settings, and clicking that presents you with a switch to disable the g-sensor, at least on my phone it's there (an option I don't find in regular WM settings).
I just checked, and that setting is also available in both the Rhodium/HD Settings Tool, and HD Tweak...but I couldn't find it in Total Commander (just a polling interval).

There is also an app... look in your start menu. Place that icon on your shell homescreen and there you go... probably not the fix your looking for but maybe temporary.

Hi!
I'm using Pocket informant 8.1 and I've been struggeling with the full screen mode that won't go off.
In menu/my informant, fullscreen is always checked and at startup it gives me the "warning" message how to click any front key application to turn full screen mode off.
Does anyone know how to permanently disable the full screen mode?
Instruction-pdf say nothing about full screen mode.
Found a working solution.
If someone runs into the same problem here's what I did.
Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\WebIS\PocketInformant and delete "FullScreen".
Thanks!

If you are in fullscreen mode, you may also come back to normal screen by long-press on the answerkey of your phone.

Thank you for the tip, but... I tried evey key for a long time, no result !
if you set Informant as default Calendar app, u must del \windows\startup\poutlook.ink & PKG.ink
one more tips for Informant, Fixed Outlook ActiveSync Task Text Limited

There are a few things keeping me from using mobile shell as my main interface.
First annoying issue is that in the "3-D SMS" section, when you press "reply" it opens up a blank message with no one to send it to. Why wouldn't it automatically add the contact I'm replying to?
Another issue is that the calender widget doesn't show full day appointments even when that option is selected from the menu. Strange...
And any of the text entry widgets, such as the Twitter, Facebook and Google widgets have problems switching from portait to landscape. I'm sure most of us are used to tapping on a text field, sliding open the keyboard and proceeding to type. Well, sliding the keyboard removes the curser from the text field, so you have to tap on it again to start typing.
These issues are very minor, but seem so simple to solve and are therefore annoying. I want to use mobile shell, but touch flo still seems more efficient and "quirk" free.
Does the bluetooth toggle function work? In the previous version, Mobile Shel 3.01, nothing happened when pressing the bluetooth toggle widget.
Unfortunately - it still doesn't. I'm using EnergyROM "Genesis" 9/12.

Yeah didnt work quite right on my sprint tp2 either, so I just maked a "shortcut widget" to the Connection manager in the control panel. It doesnt look as nice, but its just as quick to load and then you get all the options.
Airplane, phone, bluetooth, wifi, direct push, and cellular data that you can turn on or off, or tap settings to change.
IMO its better this way than even working bluetooth/wifi buttons
Is there a program that will do what the title of the thread suggests? That is, I want to be able to force whatever screen is currently displayed to rotate to landscape when I press the multimedia button. I do not want any auto-rotation. I want to be able to completely control when the screen rotates.
You can do it under the buttons menu in settings
I have mine set as 'Okay'

I'm sorry but I don't see that option. When I select Buttons -- Multimedia Key it only allows me to assign a program to opne or some simple commands such as <OK/Close>, <Context Menu>, <Scroll> etc.

Hi Guys,
Is it possible to lock the Archos 70 in just portrait mode, ADW's setting doesn't seem to work, any ideas please?
Regards.
Its possible in some apps (for example Dolphin Browser HD)
But i dont know if theres an Launcher out there, you can set this option
You can try all Launcher Applications from Market
Settings/Display Settings/Auto-Rotate

There is an app called AutoRotateSwitch, it just locks the screen in the position it is in at that moment. And it is in a easy button which you can acces by holding the search tool in the toolbar.

Cool thanks! been looking for an app that worked with archos. Most would just lock it in Landscape. My only disappointment is this app moves the softkeys to the side.
This is for QHD resolution! and make screen zoom from settings ''medium''!
Here is step by step guide
FIRST MAKE SURE YOU HAVE DOWNLOADED AN ALTERNATIVE NAVIGATION APPLICATION, I use Edge Gestures but All in one gestures is fine also.
1. Install ADB from here https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790
2. Enable developer settings and enable usb debugging
3. Connect phone to PC
4. Put this command to adb: adb shell settings put global policy_control immersive.navigation=*
5. Put this command after the first one: adb shell wm overscan 0,0,0,-168
6. Enjoy:
BUGS!
Lockscreen shortcut icons will be shown half.
Google photos delete confirmation diolog wil not be fully shown but you can rotate for deleting or you can just tap to the bottom right part of the screen and it deletes it.
credit: @xdeepS for the adb command
Just tried it and it works like a charm for now!
Just a question: what are the abd commands if I would like to be back to the stock navbar?
EDIT: found!
adb shell wm overscan reset
Thanks anyway!
Happy to hear I could help!
Amazing, you could keep screen zoom to small just reconfiguring the gestures app to repositionate the navbars. Done this on mine S9 and working like a charm, no more navigations bars !!! Thank U very very much
P.S: Using oreo 8.1 launcher
Does this work also on my s8 and on my note 8?
Any screenshot?

Thank you! So what number did you use for the overscan? I have read otheres said it leaves your icons showing in half, even the OP says that.

So, had to reset the overscan because other apps r not working correctly like games and whatsapp bcause you wont be abble to return to home screen, even that gestures are enabled. What I did was still in immersive mode, return all values to 0 nd keep the gestures on. When I do the gestures all work ok and the navbar appear and disappear within seconds. But remember im using oreo 8.1 launcher, the stock launcher wont hide navbar on home page.:good: trust me, even more better than default, cant use stock anymore
Sorry my english
Been using this for a while, and while Navbar is completely hidden (I was using like ~130 pixels) it was not working properly in some apps (I had buttons that were opened under the screen, unable to press them, or only partly visible). Now I just use XDA Navigation gestures which hides the navbar AND also has gestures all in one....
For Redmi S2
adb shell wm overscan 0,0,0,-82
Issue with this method... Need a fix
I have a slight issue, when I used to type a message it used to push every thing up so I could see what I am typing, but now I can't see what I am typing. Is there a fix for this ?
Hello guys,when i do this at my p20 lite the nav bar dissapears but it leaves a transparent space keeping the bottom apps lifted. Any idea ? i've tried apps too but same thing happens ..

What do you mean
And I try to reset the overscan now, it seems reseted but when confirmation windows pop up I cannot see the options. I've tried overscan 0,0,0,0 and overscan reset but nothing..
Other phones
Can this method be used for other phones with Android Oreo?
There's a little problem. After reseting the nav-bar, it doesn't stick up. It's always hiding even if i push that damn point . Solutions?
Nevermind, found solution.
adb shell settings put global policy_control null*
