Tried to search this topic and found a bunch of old posts from 2010 that required me to rewright some code in "manifest" but Im sceptical to try.
Can some help me lock my phone app in the portrait mode? It seems I'm always chasing the damn end button after a call.
I'm using Streakdroid 1.9.1. & Estrongs file explorer.

Have you tried using the force portrait mode in the orientation control app? you can get it from snappz or blackmart I believe...
So far I have found apps that force orientation all the time! I want it only for the phone.

You can go another way:
1) flash the portrait zip from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1084850 and uncheck "Auto-rotate screen". Now by default all applications will stay in portrait.
2) then install the Smart Rotator from Market (https://market.android.com/details?id=net.xdevelop.rotator_t&feature=search_result) and select all applications you want to be able to autorotate.
Im interested; however, how do I un-flash the zip should I decide I hate it?

Besides, the only thing the zip does (together with Autoritation unckecked): it prevents autorotation.
And if you want any application to be able to rotate, you just tell your wish to Smart Rotator, that`s all.
that's pretty nifty! might try that workaround myself thanks.
If you only want your home screen in portrait (not lockscreen) then you can use LauncherPro and turn off the auto-rotate settings for LP when your screen is in portrait. The rest of your apps will still follow the Streak's setting for auto-rotate.
Had the same problem and since I didn't want to mess anything up by flashing, I bought an app called Orientatiom switch. Lets you lock the screen in portrait or landscape. Made a thread about it here since I was so excited to see it actually work :-D

Thanks for the tip, works great here with force protait mode and the app is actually called "orientation control"

I almost forgot about this thread. I ended up using an app called Smart Rotator from the Market. It allows you to lock the streak into Landscape (...or whatever your phone uses for default) and elect which other programs you want to release from the landscape lock.
Now I don't have to chase the end button when I take the phone from my ear (in landscape mode while the phone is simultaneously turning the screen back on) and try to hit the end key while it is trying to switch to portrait. This seems to be the natural way my calls ended up. The phone is trying to do all those things and the whole process ends up with me cussing the phonewhioe trying to hit the damned end button.
Now, No matter what I'm doing...the screen is on Landscape, Period. Incidently, so are the contacts. They are linked to the phone so if you lock one, you are inadvertantly locking the other.

and what if I dont have the Smart Rotator and I dont want it ? it is any solution how to dissable this function, becouse I flashed this .zip and now I cant set autorotation in settings, do it any change in build.prop or re-flash amss ? thanks ( and sry for my english )
note: since I flashed this .zip I had 3 reboots and 2 complete shutdown of my Streak
@AIR-WIZZ
Thanks for the tip about Smart Rotator. Working great on phone/dialer app. Chasing that end button was my biggest source of FC's!

Hi!
I just noticed that when the screen is locked and you double tap the home butten, the voice control will start. Then you are able to just go to your homescreen. Is this happening on your sgs2's too?

Why does everyone have to put FIVE ALARM FIRE!!! titles in their not so significant posts. If the phone doesn't have lock enabled this is a convenience feature not a security problem.

I mean seriously, do you even read any of the posts before replying?
1) OP said he's running a Villain ROM which means he's rooted and modded.
2) Another poster running Villain can't replicate the problem.
3) No one other than the OP (and I'm assuming even you) can replicate the problem.
4) Who knows what the OP might be running app wise that might be triggering the issue on his phone.
I know I'm not a mod but these little "crisis" posts that start out as embers end up being raging fires. Maybe its because of all the different languages spoken. By all means, if anyone running a stock ROM can replicate this report back. It would indeed then be an issue worthy of the front page and the title "Security Flaw in our phones."
Just to add - I'm using litening 1.1, and I have an enforced exchange PIN.
Double clicking the home button will not get past the password entry screen.
Believe me, I've tried all ROMs and various apps to get around the password, still haven't found one yet.
So the proximity sensor completely stopped working sibce I upgraded to Gingerbread. Well the little red light still comes on but when I put the phone to my face while in a call I expect the screen to automatically turn off but I forget that it no longer works so I end up pressing buttons while talking. If anyone else is experiencing the same issue, or if there are any known fixes someone PLEASE help. Other than that I still really like Gingerbread.

Sadly I don't have any help for you as I am limited in my knowledge...However, I used Kenn's 2.3.4 beta ROM a couple weeks ago or whatever, and I ALSO have noticed that the sensor doesn't seem to work properly. It works right most of the time for me (dunno about you), but there have been times where it screws up. Kind of lame, but I'm sure this is fixable if other people experience the same issue and someone is willing to fix.
Try fix permissions
I am also experiencing this same issue, worked before but not now. I have already fixed permissions...

Yes but since the phone has the sensor I'd rather not have to hit the power button every time I start a phone call. Then I have to hit the power button again to get to the dialer or other apps. Hence inconvenient.

I use my phone a lot in the car (GPS, music and phone calls), so I always keep the original apk's files from the Nexus One Car Home handy. The app is still listed in the Play Store, but it won't install in newer devices.
Just install both files as regular apps, reboot and you are set to go. I always liked this app for its simplicity. Enjoy!
Also, I will recommend getting some NFC tags and Trigger (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jwsoft.nfcactionlauncher), so you can launch the app automatically in your car. Trigger is a very easy to use, but if you want more control, get Tasker instead.
I really like the look of it too, but it kept reopening after I closed the app.
Try wiping Dalvik and cache, this happened to me one time and that fixed the problem.
I hope thus helps.

Hah, no way. Cool thanks for posting this. I might have to give this a go.
Like @b1g1an said, to get proper car dock mode (i.e. landscape on the home launcher) you gotta have root, that's why I made this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.warner.carmode
but this Nexus One app is a nice optional solution.

Ultimate Rotation Control doesn't need root to rotate the home screen so might be worth a look how they do it, you'll get a lot more takers of yours if you can lose the root reliance.

Thanks for showing me this. Definitely worth noting this down.
When I use car mode I get the notification in the status bar which is fine but it also flashes the notification light which is useless and hides whether I have any "real" notifications.
Didn't have this issue on other phones I used it on previously. Any ideas how I can stop the light flashing just for this app?

Yes I also tried this, I did it from a diffent link but the launcher actually runs off the Google search app so it should be the same experience and its great, only thing I don't like is the fact that when I hold down apps to move them on the home screen when in landscape the tablet flips orientation and it is annoying. Everything works in portrait though.

I have a solution for that ,
When you open app in landscape mode , touch the navigation buttons button then pull down the notification bar and lock the auto rotation, it should be stop rotating.

New to all of this custom rom and rooting stuff so please excuse me if some of my questions aren't good.
Do I need to root and use a rom slot to run this or can I just use it as a launcher and still get widgets/wallpapers to work?

This is because HDX has a "reverse orientation" compared to most tablets. So what happened is the app rotate to what was "normal" landscape, then autorotate 180 to proper landscape.
There's a patched launcher that implements the reverse orientation that's a part of the HDX Gapps V2 (forgot which topic) but I have a feeling that this may need to be an Xposed module that "patch" the launcher itself.

As I remember it comes as a part of the kernel for those devices including LG G2, since there aren't any custom kernels out for these devices yet I highly doubt that's a possibility right now.
you can opt for proximity actions for locking and unlocking, although it would drain your battery a bit.

Pretty much every major OEM like Sony, HTC, LG and even Chinese manufacturers like OPPO , Xiaomi etc have implemented double tap to wake on their large screen phones and I really don't know what's stopping Samsung to implement in spite of so many Note generations .
Only way to properly implement this is using a custom kernel for the device

OK, I've got a VKWorld VK6050S (note the S). This will be a long story, but I feel I must post many details. Otherwise, there will be that smart-*** posting "but you can't do that!!!"
Had the phone for several weeks now. Took a LONG time to set it up and get it running EXACTLY the way I wanted it to. As part of that process, I installed Nova launcher, and an app called "DTSO". Anyway, when it was all set up.... I could double-tap the home screen to lock, and the display would go black. Then, *without using the proximity sensor*, I could double-tap the middle of the BLACK screen, which would cause the display to wake up and display the lock screen. I didn't set a lock on this screen, so I could just swipe up to clear it. Note I could double-tap the BLACK screen to wake it up.
So I was happy with the way everything was set up. Only problem was, it was not stable. Most of the time, if you tried to take a picture, the phone would freeze. (forever). Or sometimes a reboot would take HOURS (starting after the animated vkworld logo displayed) I tried several suggestions. It was not a bad memory card, and it was not corrupted files on a memory card. I tried clearing various caches, etc. Nothing worked. Finally, in desperation...I went to the factory boot menu (chinese, but I found a guide for it) and cleared hardware cache / emmc / whatever. That left me with *** CHINESE LOLLIPOP ***, and all my apps/settings/data were GONE...
(sigh)
So I had to start from figuring out how to switch back to English. And then starting all over again. I wasn't back to "zero". I went back to "minus one". (!!!!)
After many hours setting up the phone again with dozens of applications, getting my account settings input, getting it all configured...
The only thing I can NOT do now is to double-tap the black screen to wake it up. The phone is rock-solid STABLE now, so that is an improvement. But I want it to wake the screen with a double-tap, like it did before!!!
I'm now using "Go" launcher. But I (temporarily) tried "Nova" launcher, like I had it before. DTSO does not work like it used to. It won't wake up the screen while black. Again, this USED TO WORK, so it's not a hardware issue. What did I do wrong? What did I miss in setting this thing up again?
