And it's also set in Settings -> Display
Make sure both are set to Auto-Rotate.

Is there a way to change the polling interval for automatic screen rotation in Android?
When using WinMo with EnergyRomz I am able to change the autorotation polling interval in the advanced settings to make the screen rotate really fast if I want it to.
I don't use the rotate feature in Android because it is too slow.
spare parts will allow you to edit that. its in the app market free.
I have been using spare parts for a bit, but I don't see a settingthat speeds up the screen rotation-only window animations and so forth. Thanks for the response.

Is there a way to recalibrate the g-sensors? It is supposed to be under display and sound if I am correct, but so far, I dun see it in any of the Android builds..

Anyone use LauncherPro? There appears to be a bug in the newest version which, if you opt to turn off auto rotation on the home screen, then it won't rotate even when u slide they keyboard out. Wondering if anyone else is experiancing this? My temp fix is switching back to the previous version but this is not something I want to continue doing if later versions still have this bug.

Just checked and I've got the same problem. Personally, I prefer to have auto rotation on so itns not really a problem for me. It should definitely be fixed, though.

Discovered just now that if you go into menu-> settings->screen and remove the mark at Autorotate it works as intended. Launcher Pro is set to autorotate.
Hope it helps

Currently using launcher products with cm7 and I don't have a problem with the rotation as indicated above.

I'd rather have all my apps, etc auto rotate, but would rather LauncherPro only rotates when I open the keyboard because sometimes I accidently hold it at an angle or something and it gets annoying. Also, when I turn the device and push the camera button it slows it down slightly if it has to rotate first. The latest version of LauncherPro seems to be the only one with this issue.

I also was having this problem with my Motorola Droid and whpsnp's suggestion worked.
Menu -> Settings -> Display - > Auto-rotate screen is unchecked
Menu -> Preferences -> Behavior Settings -> Enable Auto-rotation is checked
This way the screen only rotates when the slider is open.
But then doesn't this stop other apps from auto rotating?

I just checked my Facebook app and it rotates to landscape when the slider is open, so it seems it doesn't affect that functionality. Not sure about other apps
I want other apps to auto rotate when I turn the screen. But I want launcherpro to only rotate when I open the keyboard. The newest launcherpro doesn't do this.

Hey Guys,
Has anyone managed to get the Hub look, ie. Multiple Live Wallpaper, etc. Working with Nova or the Stock launcher? If so, what settings did you use? I'm trying but can't get it working.
For me multi live wallpaper is working fine with stock launcher.....
Add 5 different wallpaper from the screen settings and in the advanced settings use "force 5 screens"....

Got it working, thanks for that.
All I need now is to be able to do what ADW lets you do and that's be able to link to other screens with a widget and then I'm set!
Let me know if you figure out a nice way to do this

Where do you find that option for advanced screen settings? I can't seem to find it anywhere. Not adding from home screen or changing from display settings menu.
Sent from my Microwave using Tapatalk and super heated water molecules
you need to install "Multi Live Wallpaper" from market. This app has advanced screen settings.
I've toggled the widget in the drop menu multiple times. I can't seem to get the screen to rotate at all, in menus or apps. Am I missing something? Defective? Does the screen rotate on the home screen?

I've also checked the box for auto rotate under the accessibility settings

if you let it auto rotate, the screen will change from landscape to portrait and vice versa. this happens in both the apps such when in the chrome browser as well as when viewing the desktop. locking auto rotate prevents this rotation as you turn the tablet.
is your screen not rotating?
I don't know if this had been posted, but if you own the Xperia Z charging dock you can enable landscape home screen rotation
turn off the phone and then dock the phone (in off mode).
After the charging icon appears, just power up the phone while its in the dock. Once the phone is powered up, just remove it from the dock and you should be able to rotate the home screen.
But, what's the point?

different strokes for different folks you know...
I like to use the phone in landscape on my desk without the dock and if you're in an app that is in landscape, e.g. a movie, you don't have to flip the screen back to portrait when you have to goto the home screen.
Really smart trick

Or just use Rotation Control from the play store ...
Hi,
can you please help me finding the tool which will force ALL applications work in landscape mode? Ie when my phone is in dock and i am using phone app - it is getting back to portrait mode when placing the call.
Thanks in advance!

Is there a way to fool the phone into thinking it's docked I much prefer landscape

I can already do this permanently with an app in the drop down notification menu, I can select landscape and it'll force landscape for everything but I get a native result. Works for everything except for portrait apps, and vice versa. This works on the lockscreen too.

What i found is rotation locker - works as expected. The only issue is with screen locker (pattern).

I've changed the dpi in build prop to 320 and auto rotate is automatically activated, I set font too large and I quite like this dpi,. Now if there was a way to make widgets bigger. Screen shots attached.

I'm talking about Screen Orientation Control on the Google Play Store.
This is what it looks like, hopefully it works.
Not sure what happened to the screen resolution is it some random imgur compression thing?
Thanks for the link for the app. Now I can control the orientation whenever I just want it to change.
Re: All above posts
Hey people,
I think you guys might be interested in the app called "Rotation Anywhere".
This is exactly the app all of you above are looking for.
And the best part "it's free". !!! :good:
