I have a question that I have been trying to answer for sometime now. In both the stock ROM and Cyanogenmod 6.1.1 all flash videos, like those on Facebook that people post, would be automatically played in landscape. How can I enable this without using the auto rotation in Gingerbread? Thank you for the help!

Ok, I guess what I actually need to figure out is how to get videos launched from the browser in landscape only. I have tried everything including those auto-rotate aps from the market and nothing works. Anyone?!?!?!?
Does anyone have a problem with the YouTube widget on their device? Its seems to be cropped and it doesn't even flick anymore like the market widget. Any solution would be greatly appreciated.
Remove the widget....Flip your tab from landscape to potrait mode and then add the youtube widget....it worked for me...

cheers for that,I'll give it a try.
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"
Well worth the $1.5

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.

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!

I know there are several apps that would allow me to fix this, but why is this the only stock app that cannot do landscape? It only switches to portrait during calls and I'm wondering if LG might have forgotten to make a one a zero or vice versa inside the phone app.
Edit - I'm also wondering if it's only the Sprint flavor that does this.

As the title states, can someone download the app and verify it is ONLY letting you use the app in landscape mode and not in portrait.
Cannot figure out a darn way to get it to rotate...
Thanks

Mine actually works correctly only in portrait mode. It does switch to landscape, but the cameras do not display correctly. Used to be fine on my previous HTC One X and Samsung s6.
