Hi, i have searched the forums and the web for thius "app"
i have it in a rom, it is a little app in the start menu which allows you to rotate the screen from portrait to landscape and back.
(i have seen a programme which rotates 90 degrees each time, which is rubbish)
I hate auto rotate as rotates in things i dont want it to.
i love this app, i can use the phone like anormal phone and when i want to rotate screen - tomtom, video, pictures etc i just open start and tap the button.
(Its in the energy ROM) - what is this lovely little app please? or is it something the ROM chef created? i pm`ed him but no response, understandably as prob gets lots of messages and wants to work on new roms etc.
Cheers
Use AE Button Plus or All at Hand Rotate to manually rotate the screen

You can also change the Button (1) in your settings to rotate I think you may have to have HD Tweak installed but thats a good app as well try without first
cheers ,i ll have a look at All at Hand Rotate and see how that feels
Hi,
I have my PC hooked up on my big LCD, on which I like to play my games.
So to lauch my games on that screen, I always have to switch primary display.
(go to desktop > right click > change resolution > make primary display)
Is there an easier way to do this?
I have searched a lot, but have never found something..
It would be awesome to just be able to manange your apps and configure on which display the have to open..
Maybe Win+P will be good ?
regards
Thanks, but that doesn't really help..
To play my game on second monitor I whould then have to choose the option 'second screen only'.
Which is kind of worse then how I do it now
I am pretty sure full screen programs launch only on the primary display. That has been my experience since 7.

yeah.. that's the problem, but I want it to launch on the secondary display
There's a keyboard shortcut for moving apps between monitors in Win8. I believe it's Ctrl+Win+arrow key (I'm not at my multi-mon system at the moment). I haven't tried it with a full-screen app yet, but you may want to give it a shot. It's said to work with Store apps (which are full screen) just fine.
Are you talking about the Modern UI games or Desktop?
If it is the Modern UI games, then just open the Start Screen on that monitor by pulling your mouse to the lower left corner of the screen until you see the Start Screen "icon" show up and click.
Launch the Modern UI app/game from there and it will launch from whatever screen the Start Screen was on.
Now, if you are talking about Desktop Apps/Games, that's another monster. Most will remember which display they were last opened from.
What I do with Metro apps is click the top and drag down, like I'm going to kill the app, but instead just drag it to whatever screen I want it on. For non-Metro apps like the post before mine said, most programs will remember the window they were on last.

Yeah, Metro apps aren't the problem either, like you guys say, they worked that out just fine.
I'm talking about desktop apps (like most games still are, and will be for a while I think).
Most games don't remember the last display the were on, they just open on the primary display for me..
Have you tied Win+Page Down ?
http://sourceforge.net/projects/mmfh/
Try this.
That looked exactly like what I need!
Being able to create a rule for an application, so that it launches on the display you want.
But I'm afraid the app doesn't work as perfect as I'd hoped..
I've tried many different settings, but games like far cry 3 or assassin's creed 3 still open on my primary display..
For Far Cry a quick alt + tab does the job (then it goes to my secondary display in borderless window), but it's not perfect..
But thanks! I'll keep it, I'll play with it some more.
Yes, it scans on intervals of time I think, and I haven't used it for games, but I believe you're supposed to make sure the game is in windowed mode first.
Yeah, kind of got it to work for Hitman, but not perfect, like I said.
Perhaps another solution:
Would it be possible to create a shortcut/hotkey to switch primary display?
The advantage of windows 8 is that switching primary display doesn't change a lot for your open windows, or start menu.
They just remain on the same display.
That would make it very easy to quickly swap primary display and start the game from start menu.
Win+P, duplicate displays.
Nope, that won't work either, aspect ratio is different.
I use extended display, so I always just make display 2 the primary before starting the game.
I was able to make a shortcut to het screen resolution config screen now, so I at least don't need go to desktop, right click... anymore now
(shortcut: C:\Windows\System32\rundll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL desk.cpl)
i dropped my phone the other night and it cracked. its cracked on the botton right where the recents button is and i cant use that are of the screen (basically is unresponsive) but the rest of the screen works absolutely fine and i just rotate the screen if i need to access something in that are that i cant access. Was wondering what i need to replace to fix it ?
will also attach pictures to show what are exactly is affected.

You would need to change the entire front screen to actually fix the problem !! However if you don't want to spend the amount (in my country its around 80 dallars) you can download switchr app from play store !! It helps you to switch and kill apps just like the recents button. If the other buttons also don't work like the home and back ull need to root your phone and download LMT launcher from the market. It is almost like pie control which you find on ParanoidAndroid .

Okay i went to repair shop and they quoted me $300 which is bit expensive since i could put a little bit more and get the nexus 5 but i want to spend the minimum amount possible and have a phone that works.. So what exactly do i need to buy to fix it ? do i need to buy the lcd or the touch screen ? or are there more parts that i need to get because i want to know what it might add up to for all the parts that are needed.
Also i don't think the switchr app would solve my problem because basically any app or button that is in that area, i can not use since that area of the screen is unresponsive. I'm assuming something to do with the touchscreen is broken over there ? in that bottom right area of the screen that i showed in the earlier picture i attached. I can stilll use the phone because the rest of the area is still normal, but i dont know how long it will be for since its cracked and could spread. and at times if there is something in that area that i need to access, for example certain parts of the keyboard or an app, i rotate the screen and that way i can still use it though some apps do not rotate at all and that makes things impossible.
Is there a way to make a shortcut or even make an app (like using App Factory in Tasker) to quickly open up two multi window apps without needing to use the side bar?
I've installed Car Home for when I have my phone docked in my car and want to use one of the buttons on the home screen to run Google Music and Maps. This way when I'm driving and listening to music and want to navigate somwhere I can just hit the home button to go into Car Home's main screen then hit the shortcut button (which is a nice large easy to see button while driving) to run multi window. Anyone have an idea on how to do that? I've tried digging around but can't find a way. I'm also rooted and running xposed/wanam if that makes a difference or if there's a module which allows this that someone knows about that I don't.
Thanks.

I have not seen any way to open up 2 windows without using the sidebar.
How about putting an NFC tag on something like a piece of cardboard you keep in your car. When you want the multi - windows to appear, just move the cardboard near the phone. Thoughts?

I have got to the end of the road in terms of searches for existing apps for this. I'd like to flip or rotate the screen on my Nook Simple Touch so that it is still in portrait, but upside down.
Does anyone know if this is possible? I have tried countless options which force landscape etc but I just need everything upside down - a full 180 degrees.
Any ideas?
Android 2.1 does not support all 4 rotations.
That appeared in Android 2.3
On the application level you should be able to implement that by setRotation on your main ViewGroup.
You will have to handle screen touch coordinates separately.

Ah, I was hoping to get it working for the whole system in order to work around the fact I have a scratch on the bottom right corner which keeps digging into my palm uncomfortably!
Thanks for the quick response. I'll try sandpaper!
I find that a little mount helps.
I use a monopod mostly.
I use it even when handheld so that I don't have to grip the sides.
The monopod just goes between a few fingers on the back with your thumb to turn pages.
