Flip Display upside down? - Epic 4G General

Thanks to the power connector/audio connector being on the top of the phone... I'd like to figure out if theres a way to make this phone flip the screen when you put it in a car dock... any ideas?

i use alarm clock plus and it reorientates the screen for left tilt and right tilt in dock mode, but not upside down. im sure it wouldnt be too hard to figure out.

Yup, 270 degree rotation is a feature of FroYo for this phone. It works on several apps like GPS as well as in the settings menus. I think I remember seeing a line of code somewhere here that allowed you to enable or disable 270 degree rotation so it did not rotate to the right. So maybe enabling 360 degree rotation wouldn't be that hard?

The issue isn't 360 degrees (which would be back to "normal"), it's 180 degrees. The rotation lets you have only 3 rotations: 0 (normal), 90 (right side on bottom) and 270 or -90 (left side on bottom). I guess they thought that nobody would want 180 (top on bottom) for whatever reason.

you're absolutely right, I have no idea what I was thinking? I guess I meant 360 all the way around, to include 180..but that's definitely not what came out.
but I agree, I doubt I would really ever use the 180 degree position, but to have it enabled would be nice. Kind of like an iPad, you can use it no matter which way you pick it up.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab does this also! So if someone wants to work this out it would be pretty awesome

My old(now bricked epic) had full 360 degree rotation, including upside down.
I was running Vision Kernel 1.2(however, I'd recommend trying 1.1 since 1.2 has been causing bricks)
Not sure if it includes it, but i know it was working upside down on mine the other day.

that's interesting, I was running vision 1.2 for a little while and didn't have this option. What rom were you on? I don't think it's a feature of the vision kernel (could be wrong tho) Sorry to hear about the bricking, I know ACS is on top of fixing this.

I actually flashed a bunch of kernels in a few days, it may have been Genocide.
I'm running SRF 1.1.
And I only noticed it because I picked up my phone at what I thought was upright position and went to hit the menu button and realized I was pressing where the FFC is.
If I can figure out what combo allowed it, I'll be glad to let you know.

I cant remember, but isnt it a custom launcher function, given youre on froyo?? Idunno... just tried and I cannot, midNight current version w journaling, launcherpro. Maybe ADW launcher??? I know I have had it on a few different setups, but idunno who actually implements it... put it in Q&A with the question in the title... im sure any dev knows... I just change up so much cant remember what does what...

I think I remember cyanogen having that option in their menu

Genocide kernel may be it, I have only tried the very early releases of it. But I know it is definitely not an option of SRF 1.1, as that is what I am running. I was running Vision kernel 1.2 with SRF up until last night (switched back to twilight) and didn't have the option, but if you could figure out what combo you had that produced this, it would be great!

Custom launcher may be it too, I have never used anything but TW and launcher pro. LP doesn't have this option, that's what I am running and that's what comes with SRF 1.1. I think this option has to be rom based, or maybe it is within the kernel, I do not know.
Intx, did you install any other launchers??

I use LP Sense UI, but I just tried recreating it and only got 270 degree rotation.
I KNOW I'm not crazy, aha. Hmm, I'm going to take a look at the framework and see if I can't figure out a way to enable it for any ROM.
EDIT: Just remembered my build environment got wiped when I reformatted PC.
Regardless, the file that controls rotation should be in /system/framework.jar, if someone has a build enviroment, they can take a look at the XML.
This is assuming, of course, that Samsung didn't make a crazy change and hide it elsewhere.

I just dug this up from an old thread, is there something similar to this we can do? This is the way to disable 270 degree rotation, and just keep 90 degree (although people in the thread kept calling it 180 degree rotation)

In your build.prop file, change this line...
windowsmgr.support_rotation_270=true

schizopunk said:
Its not in the framework, its just part of the build.prop file, thats it (sounds wayyy too simple, I know).
So basically just do the opposite, change false to true. Normally I'd use something like "Root Explorer" and edit the build.prop file in the text edit mode.

From what I can tell, this is for 2.1 only. I looked in our build.prop and this line isn't there, which makes me think it's a part of framework.jar now.

Its built into the core of the Android system as far as I know. its not an individual program .apk that can be installed or pushed.
I'm not so much concerned with the Launcher as the Lockscreen I really want that and maybe if it was clear that would be dope too but mainly just the 2.1 lockscreen

I don't know which one it is, but the GoogleBits v1.9 for AOSP has the lockscreen in there, don't know which apk it is, but it's in there, I pushed it on an vanillia aosp 2.1 that didn't have a lockscreen once i did, it showed up.
and look around for launcher2.apk which is the nexus one's "home"
sorry don't have time to find them both and link them, but they're in darch's thread somewhere. hopefully that points you guys in the right direction
EDIT: oh forgot, after you push the google bits, remove the htc one and it will revert to the google lockscreen, but only after you push the google one *this is important*
EDIT2: oh agian... do a nandroid backup first
I remember that now I did have that lockscreen when I used that rom but it lacked too many things I needed so I went back to Fresh 1. maybe Noj can chime in on this and lend a hand or does anyone else know how I can get that lockscreen
If its like the one from the Droid you could use lockbot pro

it's really only a issue if your using lwp with it, try the other launcher with lwp
is there a way we can get 5 home screens and use lwp? if you push and use launcher2.apk to the phone and use that for your homescreen, lwp screws up your phone. at the same time, using the regular launcher only gives 3 screens... =/

Total Rotation... (hack/app request)

Any devs out there wanna give this a go?
I would love to be able to rotate my phone in any direction and have the screen flip like on my omnia... I know sense doesn't flip to landscape, thats not a prob, what I really want is to be able to flip the phone upside down and still use it as the correct rotation.
Reason I want to be able to do this is so I can use my phone in the cup holder of my car again, and to do this it must be upside down because of the charger placement... (same as on my Omnia)
Seems a pretty simple request, would be nice if it could auto run and run in the background without using up to much resources to.
If anyone is able to do this, would be awesome.
Thanks
Seconded ... but
I too would like to be able to rotate at least the other way; when showing off the Incredible, people rotate to landscape the other way and nothing happens, so they figure it doesn't rotate. I have to say "no turn it the other way" but it would be great to just not have to think about it.
BUT ... regarding the OP ... I simply took a dremel to the dash mount I bought (the beanbag, since California law doesn't allow sticking to the window in the middle). Carved out enough for a charger, and am done with it
I'd also like to see this. Anyone know the reasoning behind only allowing landscape mode by rotating to the left, and not the right? Even my old BB storm could handle rotation in both directions.
Agreed. This would be useful.

I would think it's because the majority of the world is right-handed and by rotating to the left, the optical track button is on the right side. I could complain because I'm left-handed, but hey at least my phone still has a signal when I hold it in my left hand, unlike other phones out there
This is an option in the cyanogen rom available in the rom manager. If you can look past the few bugs in the rom you can enjoy the 360 degree rotation you are looking for.

Then we wouldn't have limits as to which rom we would have to use.

So will this be possible as an App?

Thanks Mikey for re-opening this thread , you can delete the Why thread now if you like...
So anyone know if any of this is possible?

What would you want in a custom ROM?

So, now we have the possibility to have custom ROMs, flasheable with CWM. THere are already two guys who have put effort out there, and maybe they'd want some ideas on what you people would like. What do you consider that should be in your custom ROM of choice?
Myself, I would love a Reboot and Screenshot option in the power off menu.
Maybe a minimalist version of 2.3?
I want the touchpads to be able to contol the system/launcher, like the D-Pad cans.
Great question.
I already have reboot options in the power menu of my ROM. Taking a serious look at the Screenshot option. Not many ROMs appear to have it though, but I'm going to give it a shot.
Landscape mode for the launcher would be awesome. I know you can use a custom launcher, but I really like the one that comes with the phone

there was a guy who edited the HomeAPK and made it 3 screens landscape
you can edit the Home through comp. to make it more
The stock launcher, at least in the last build, does have landscape support

1) Auto Brigtness disable
2) Overclock
3) Use the touchpad as a touchscreen emulator (eg swiping on the touchpad is the same as swiping on the screen, great for browsing without touching the screen)
4) Enable the FM radio

+1 for this. The only thing I liked about the Verizon Play is that it's basically running stock gingerbread. Currently, I'm using my custom "hybrid" of r800i rom mixed with r800x launcher/apps. The upside is that I removed all the sony junk and replaced it with stock android apps (dialer, calendar, contacts, etc) while keeping stuff like working touchpad (which failed me in cyanogenmod) and playstation pocket. The downside is that I can't replace the sony lockscreen and statusbar with the stock one. For now, I'm just using widgetlock to emulate it.
If someone can get a working stock gingerbread rom with NOTHING extra (not even hidden SE apps and services), but still have working playstation pocket and touchpads/xperia optimized apps. I will use it.
AndroHero's ROM is certainly in that path.
But really... the stock GB Launcher too? It couldn't be more spartan if it tried...
I took a good run at adding a Screenshot menu item to the power menu but haven't been successful yet. Ends up crashing on boot, unfortunately, so I'm doing something wrong. Not giving up yet though. Decompiling JARs and trying to understand it all is a huge pain in the ass.
I've got reboot options already though along with the ability to overclock and undervolt.
I was looking towards pretty much going as stock Android as possible, but I wasn't sure anyone would want it.
need a 3g and wifi transfer rate in status bar, to make sure all the things running at the background and another app like fpse or psx4droid just for play ,bcz this is xperia play

I can't get reboot in power menu working. Well i can get it to work, but then the power off option reboots the device too
There's also the issue with Recovery just rebooting and not directly starting recovery yet. I'll take a look at what Power off is doing on mine as well.
Power Off seems to work fine for me. Are you maybe running it with the USB cable plugged in?

AOKP--JB-4.1.2 for gtab (with Rom Control) 12/13/2012

Ok peeps, here is another great rom for you to play with.
For those who dont know what the Android Open Kang Project is:
http://aokp.co/
This rom strives to utilize the best hacks and mods of all roms and put them into one great build.
It was built by me, but it is coded by a wonderful crew of smart people and it performs quite well.
It features many nice addons:
* customized lockscreen with color changing for the text and a nice weather widget plus more
* customize navigation bar, Navbar hiding for NBA JAm and other phone Ui games and apps
* color theming for the navbar, along with the ability to add navbar buttons which you can set to do what you want
Basically, tons of stuff. I recommend flashing and going to settings>Rom Control and just spending about thirty minutes seeing all the things you can do.
On my end, I have tried to remove what we dont need for some extra RAM. I changed up the teamdrh device overlays to suit this ROM. modified build.prop for gameloft compatibility, applied Nobe's fixes for hdmi audio and gaming audio. Various other things to get it working well.......
This is still a work in progress!!!!
Many thanks to teamdrh for the "OEM device support"
Many thanks to Fosser for his kernel
Many thanks to the AOKP crew for such a great ROM
****INSTALL INFO*******
1. Use teamdrh nvflash for Jellybean - the 350meg prep
2. Wipe data/ factory reset
3. connect to PC, copy rom, and Flash away
ENJOY!
Known Issues:
Stock launcher has shortcut issues, YOU WILL NEED A DIFFERENT ONE. I left it alone so you guys could just use what you want. I recommend Nova Launcher, this is the one AOKP uses on official builds, but again, I left it alone so you could decide, but you will not be disappointed with Nova.
AOKP has their own wallpapaers, the app would not retrieve them though, still looking into this
Internal Camera, of course, NOT YET!
Others? please....you tell me. I dont have a dock, and I dont do many of the things that others do, so there may be issues that I have not yet uncovered. I dont care about logcats or whatever, just post what dont work if you find something. THANKS!
YOU MUST GO THANK ANY MEMBER OF THE AOKP CREW, AS WELL AS TEAMDRH. THEY MAKE THIS POSSIBLE.

Hi! Thanks for the rom !
I was testing. I can't overclock. With Settings or System Tuner I can't change the frequency over 1Ghz... The slider won't go across 1ghz. Weird
My fault, just needed to make the gesture right. Running on 1.2 ghz!

can someone show me how to post screenshots???
Just take pictures (screenshots). And, upload via xda app or tapatalk.

Upload them to drop box in your public folder. Copy the link and instead of add link in the advance you are going to add image. You have to use drop box and not dev host. It doesn't work right for some reason.

I am testing this right now. That way: the boot.img from Tjohnson's inside that zip (this aokp) and flashed... With antutu, there is more score on tjohnson's rom (I could get 8K). I have tryed Nobe's rom. Didn't boot. Even the boot animation won't showed.
Well, I am addicted on benchmark...
Sorry for my bad english!
The navigation buttons are so spread out. Is there any way to get them closer together on the lower left corner?

Yes....in settings,rom control,navbar. You can have 7 buttons, spread them out, squeeze together, change colors,etc.

Okay, I've found how to add more buttons, which does squeeze them together. However, I only want three buttons (back, home, recent apps) and squeezed together on the lower left. Is there a way to do that? If I make the other buttons empty, there are still icons showing that there are buttons there, just that pressing them won't do anything.
All settings for this are in settings>ROM control>navigation bar
At the bottom where it says "combined bar width port" or "land" you move slider left or right and the buttons will move, you most likely want 5 percent, do both but "land" is landscape. If you just want three buttons then just choose 3 under "Nav button quantity". And if you want more, up to 7 then in the settings just underneath the quantity you must choose what the buttons do for a short press and a long press if you want. You can change the icons too.
I'm actually liking this ROM the most so far out of the Jelly Bean ROMs. It's pretty lean. It performs well. There are a lot of options. And every app I've tried on it has worked.
Here is something weird. I flashed this ROM on my wife's tablet and everything works with it. So I decided to flash it on my tablet and some apps, like Dictionary.com, aren't compatible. Any ideas why this would be?

[Q] Screen Rotation

Not quite sure where to post this, so I'll try here. Mods, please move to the correct forum if it is in the wrong one.
Back when the OG Droid came out, the screen could rotate all 4 ways (up, landscape left, landscape right, upside down). Never had a need for it, but it was cool. I noticed that as Android evolved, being able to hold your device upside down disappeared. Again, never had a need for it, so IO didn't care.
Now, I need it. In my car, I put the phone in the cupholder of my armrest/center console. Because the charging and headphone jack is on the bottom, I have to operate everything upside down. Is this an Android or manufacturer *feature* that was removed? Can it be put back? Can a mod be made to make it work?
I don't want a dock for my phone, I've had them before, and don't like them. I also like to have full control of my phone, not just what the manufacturer wants me to control.
Thanks.
There seem to be a few apps in the Play store that may help, here is one that looks promising:

I never thought to look for an app. Thanks, I'll check it out right now.
EDIT: Turns out it's a no-go. It has the option for reverse portrait, but it doesn't work.
If you have rooted your phone look for Roms that support this.

Ultimate Rotation Control by FAMEIT *does* support reverse portrait or at least the licensed version does. But I did root, not sure if that matters.
Good luck!

Dang. There were a few options but that one looked promising by the description.
Try a search in the app store for "Reverse Portrait" and give the free ones a shot...? Some seem to have a "force" option for when it doesn't happen automatically (or lock in reverse portrait). If they can be invoked with one click, it wouldn't seem too much of an inconvenience.
Edit: Rotation Control Lite was the one I was looking at, might try that myself.
