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
Don't thank me

He want an option to lock the porttrait mode
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.

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.

Any options or mods to lock the device by sliding the gamepad closed?
Or to customize what app opens when the gamepad is slid open (I don't want the stock games app).
I know you can turn it off so it doesnt open anything when you slide the keypad open, go into the launcher and then press menu/settings and uncheck the one and only option, if you do this, when sliding to unlock it will just take you to your homepage.

Awesome. Didn't know this. Any way to make it not unlock if you slide it open?
Thanks!
Anyone know the solution to the first question?
Locking the screen when the phone is slid shut?
Edit: Screen Tools is supposed to be able to do this but for some reason it doesn't work.

Someone actually cares?
OK I'll TRY to update Screen Tools to support the Xperia Play.
WOW. Never in a million years would I have thought the dev would drop by! Hi! =)
FWIW, it worked on 2.3.2 but now on 2.3.3 it doesn't work.
-my phone is rooted
-I did hit the Grant Permission button
-the app shows up checked under the list under Admin
-"Enable Screen Tools 2" is checked in the app menu screen as well
With all the above, nothing happens when I slide the phone shut. Otherwise your app works great. Disables lock screen etc.
By default, the phone enters in horizontal state when the pad gets opened.
hatcyl, if you need anything, whistle ^^
App updated, don't worry this users the official API so it should work with anyone.
I added a function to lock on navigation closed (DPAD), so Xperia Play users should check that option.

App is free on the market.
It's Screen Tools 2 by hatcyl, no ads either.

I had a similar post about this, this week and got no responses. Hopefully someone will actually respond to this one. Not that I have my phone anyway its somewhere between here and the black hole at the center of the milky way.

GMD gesture control in the Play Store
This app does it. I have it configured to hide the soft keys with a three finger scroll down from top of the screen right under the notification bar.
If you do this I also recommend setting something to close the app and another gesture to go back inside of the app.
I've seen some apps that change the basic virtual keys to others. I remenber an app changing the virtual back,home and recent app buttons , to only one camera button, and after exiting the app it's back to normal
How is that possible ?
i want to remove the recent apps button.

I don't think that is possible without root... The only thing one could do is completely hide the navigation bar with immersive mode, and then perhaps draw a custom bar on the bottom of the screen which looks just like it. But I'm interested, can you remember which app exactly had that behaviour?

i've seen many apps doing that, but i remenber only mini-lock ( can't give link because it is on blackmart )
immersive mode is only for >=kitkat , i might have problems with that...
i might have to take a look at android's lockscreen source code

mmhh yeah now that you say that, i think it might be possible on the lockscreen if your apps is registered as a device admin, though I didn't quite find it during my quick search...

Found this one here:
You can not hide it unless you have rooted the device. But of course there is a workaround which might not fit with your requirement but several well known apps in the market at the moment using this strategy to achieve this disable menu bar feature for their apps.
Grant admin privilege.
Set password & lock the device using device admin profile api
Then load what ever the UIs on top of the native lock screen. (Of course this will show background lock screen whenever a transition happens between activities. But if logic is organized well, then it will be smooth & less noticed by the user)
When need to enable back, reset password to "" using resetPassword("", 0) of device policy manager object.

You can set the password and lock the screen using the DevicePolicyManager. Don't know how you would "load your UIs on top of native lock screen" though...

mmhhh and why is immersive not working for you? You have to keep in mind that the user needs the navigation bar to exit your app anytime...

Is the any way to force landscape viewing of Instagram on this device? IE when I open the app, it always defaults to portrait!

Try smart rotate. This app is able to rotate any app including the home screen.
I suggest to tick the following in settings.
Show notification shade.
Show advanced modes
On power - Activate
Force orientation.
Then pull down the notification shade to reveal the shortcuts and ensure that the lock symbol and the orientation symbol far right are both highlighted.
This should make any app rotate with the screen.

Pretty sure that you can just put your tablet on sideways and then swipe down and you just press the rotate mode to lock...

Nope, that doesn't work.
The app advised above does thou.
This is an excellent app - Just installed it on my Tab S6, running Pie and it has managed to rotate all the apps I've so far thrown at it (Reddit, Xbox, Gamepass, eBay) thanks @ashyx
