Disable Auto Rotate?

I have tried searching for this but not been able to find anything, so sorry if it is already covered elsewhere.
Does anyone know how to disable the auto rotation of the screen that happens when you go from laptop to tablet mode?
Thanks in advance
Sam

It has been asked before, and I know how to do it, but I have to get a little time to write the app. It's quite an easy app to write, just time is unavailable to me I need a time turner.

I would have thought with your 1337 5k1llz you would have at the very least had your own TARDIS lol
Nice to see Pratchett references popping up all over the place =)

I thought I saw something here about an app that was already created, except that it made the Universal totally ignore any lid motion, so closing the lid would not put it to sleep. I can't remember what thread I saw it in... I thought it was Vijay who did it, too. Hmm.

do you really have to go through all the trouble to write a program for it or is there a simple reg hack to take care of this?

There's a little of both. It's a driver hack, but combined with some registry.
I wrote the other program also, can't remember what it was called now, for maintaining control and enabling the Universal's external keys, but it had a limited release of 1 guy trying it.
Then I got distracted for 6 months, having a baby

Any update on this? I would like the auto rotate to still rotate but into landscape mode the other way up, as opposed to portrait mode, if you see what I mean

Disable auto-rotate
Hi Vijay555,
Any luck finding the program?
Would really appreciate it mate.

just in install vijaylumix 2. click on enable extra brightness than switch power off. After that autobrightness will be disabled and screen orientation will not go automatically works just fine hehe

The camera does not work once vijaylumix 2 is started :-(
So back to the drawing board.
Actually isn't there a program that sets selected programs to start in either landscape or potrait view?

Try re-launching VJLumos I/II/III to disable.
vijaylumix? Dude, what kinda weird sounding pseudo-romantic idiom is that?
VJUzumaki has been re-written. The nega/positive side effect of VJLumos is unexpected but useful. But VJUzumaki will disable rotation and provide a whole shebang loud of new features.. coming soon.

Sorry mate should be 'VJLumos II' and not 'vijaylumix 2.'
Looking forward to VJUzumakimix....only kidding VJ. When is VJUzumaki due?
Respect & seasonal greets.

umm, if I recal you can remove the magnet from inside the casing, that makes the screen auto rotate

I'm working on bells and whistles (ie features!) for VJUzumaki, so hopefully shortly into the new year.

what is the status of VJUzumaki, or has there been an alternate fix found for this problem?
Thanks

THX for the good Idea, but I think since 14.08. there is a Kernel which supplies the control of the LED Backlight.

So he knows can easily identify each key on the keypad based upon where the market is.
Similar to how touch-typers know where to hit based upon the raised marks on the F and J keys.

i never needed to look at the keypad ,even in dark with 8 monthes of use it is saved at my brain's memory

use Keypadledcontol.cab (can be found on xda-developers.com) if you want keypad light, but then light is always turned on.

it was as ugly on the green button lol. but now its in the middle. i just got this phone mang...
like the marker key on the calculator button #5
belive it or not it helps.
im gonna use the led control now since that makes more sense, i guess i should have posted this earlier lol would be more usefull.

Lol great development !

Is there an app to put power control widget in notification pulldown?

That would be sweet. Pretty much the only feature of my long gone jailbroken I*phone (sbsettings) that I miss was activating that screen with a swipe without exiting the focused application. It must be possible in android. Any info?

Quicksettings?

There is an app in the market called "Quick Settings" which can be placed in the Ongoing notification dropdown that is customizable to include everything on the power control widget and more.

I am a fan of "power strip", a great paid app.

Quick Settings is really nice. Thanks y'all.
FYI, I've also used NOTIFi by Sisedi Media. It's skinnable and has a polished look that's a little different from the normal android UI.

Try QuickDesk Beta. It's a single extra homescreen that you access by double tapping the home button. Can put any widgets or shortcuts that you can put on your home screen. That way, all you have to do is double tap your home button, use the power strip, then hit back to get out of QuickDesk Beta and you'll be back in your original app.

The MIUI ROM has this as a fixed element at the bottom of the drop down.

The amount of times i've wished I didn't have to return to Home Screen to toggle GPS / WIFI etc - this is the absolute perfect solution. If it had customisable entries where we could launch a task switcher - WIN WIN!
+1 hopefully.
Perhaps this thread should be moved to Andoid General for greater visibility?
Steve.

theres an app thats called "in app toggle wifi" or something where you just have to hold the search softkey for a couple of seconds. even better in that it is hidden.

A good alternative is quickdesk by ruqqq, I've set it to bring up its "screen" on home double tap.

quickdesk is awesome. Not only can use power control but any app that you want without leaving any application. love it

Just noticed that the galaxy tab has this too.

Quickdesk or My Settings is best alternative for time being

MIUI ROM has it.
Cyanogen ROM will soon have this. You can look at Cyanogen's twitter account, he recently had a pic showing it off. I can't wait.

MUIU ROM also has hibernation.
Im glad they are implementing this in CM.

Ipad-like mutlitask gestures on lg optimus one

Today I stumbled upon a cool app called GMD Gesture Control, it basically allows you to define global gestures that can be used anywhere and that can do any kind of action, kinda like the "pinch" gesture found in the ipad that closes the current app. The gestures can be defined with custom directions, actions or number of fingers. So you can for example swipe with two fingers down from the top edge of the screen for the device to go to sleep if you have an unreliable sleep button.
Here's the steps needed to be taken to use this app on lg optimus one:
1- Get the app, you can use the lite version for now which disables itself when the mobile is locked and needs to be re enabled, but it gives you a good idea of how the app works:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...dvb2Rtb29kZHJvaWQuZ2VzdHVyZWNvbnRyb2xkZW1vIl0.
2- Launch the app for the first time, it will show an error that the device is not recognized, here you have to override the default settings to support our mobile, you can do this by tapping the "advanced" tab at the far right, then you will find 2 options at the end of the list, enable both by tapping the "on" button. Then from the "Override multitouch device detection" list choose "touch_mcs6000", then choose from the "override touch events parser detection" list the option "HC_DEFAULT".
3- Restart the service from the main "General" tab, please note that I couldn't get our mobile to support more than 2 fingers gestures, keep that in mind when defining custom gestures or choose "single touch gestures" option in the default gestures tab.
Hope that you all find this useful, this app is extremely fun to use to switch between apps quickly, I use a swipe from the left-right bottom corner to switch between previous/next app. You can really create any kind of creative gesture as you like.

This app is incompatible with your MobiFone LGE LG-P500.

it needs version 3.1 and up
upgrade to ics and install

This isn't an android section.

There are windows phone apps with those on live tiles so I guess it's just a matter of time until someone makes one here.

i mean a tile that gives you the battery %.

Windows 8 originally had the battery level and the time by the user name on the Start Screen, it may be a registry hack to add it back.

hmmm, i think u must used xwidget sir , like me
