Dont know if official roms do this, but when playing games is there a way to flip it 180 degrees? so its landscape in the other direction. Because where they put the light sensor and where your thumb is, gun bros, angry birds. I have Cm7 rc-1 and have it checked for 180 degree rotation in settings. Would it be the game dev it needs to be setup for or what?

Hi,
Does anyone know if there is a way to rotate the screen from the normal portrait view by 180 degrees?
I am using my Note with a bottom hinged Noreve case (which I love) and this rotation would allow me to use the case as a stand?
Thanks
Even if there is this possibility, consider this: several times you'll answer the phone in the dark and wonder why that asshole in the other side isn't saying anything for the third time, then you realize the phone was upside down. That happened a lot with me and my old Atrix =p

i dont think the stock touchwiz will rotate but apps should rotate if you have enabled it and the app supports it
Anyone who's had an Android tablet knows that a lot of poorly coded apps get flummoxed by the default 90 degree rotated, landscape orientation of the device.
Thus my question, is the sensor in the Nexus 7 rotated as well? Or is the default orientation set to portrait, the same as a phone?
Google "sensors-overview sensors-coords android" to find the relevant developer page. The specific orientation details are near the bottom: Sensor Coordinate System
"One Screen Turn Deserves Another" is an excellent article that explains the problem quite well.
If anyone who has a preview device could check to see what orientation the N7 uses, that'd be great. I'm hoping for portrait.

I'd assume it would be rotated since they're very intent on educating users on using a 7" tablet in portrait like a book.
Yea I'm gonna say that it's probably not in landscape since the whole UI is portrait based. Seems a bit counter productive to have to rotate the device every time you launch an app.

I'm fairly confident the sensors will be in portrait orientation by default, but confirmation would be nice.
The reason I ask is because my current Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 has the 90 degree offset sensor issue. 99% of the time it's fine. It boots up in portrait, apps launch in portrait (unless landscape only apps, which launch in landscape with no issues). Certain apps that are poorly coded and expect all devices to be portrait by default tend to do all sorts of odd things though. I've only run across a couple in the Play store, and one of those has been fixed.
The real problem lies with custom roms, as all of the ones I have tried default to the landscape sensor orientation (boot orientation when laid flat is landscape), rather than compensate for it (the stock Samsung rom is portrait by default when laid flat). This has led to all sorts of aggravating (and unintentionally hilarious) issues with the custom roms.
So hopefully Google thought this through and the N7 sensor orientation is portrait by default and basically acts like a large phone minus the phone bits.
I have a case which I would prefer to use in a certain way while playing a landscape game. How can I force certain games (such as NFS Most Wanted and Backstab HD) to rotate to the other side?
Ultimate Rotation Control or similar.
Ppl do you know how can I rotate the screen orientation in a game?
Most of the game have only one orientation, and it's the one that I don't like because heats very much (superior left part of the screeen). So how can I rotate it.
Auto Rotate didn't solve the problem...
Hi everybody, my experience with my s7 edge it's been amazing so far until I faced a problem with rotation . The phone rotation works great with system apps and some 3rd party apps (almost all apps but not including games) if I use for example gallery on landscape it will rotate to the direction that I want , but when I'm using a game , I tested more than 10 games that only work on landscape and the screen won't rotate , by default it's on the left orientation I find this very frustrating because I'm always listening music with headphone and I'm more comfortable using my phone on landscape on the right side orientation, any suggestions? Yes I have auto rotate enabled !
