Auto Rotate

I installed the froyo beta, and ever since then, my phone won't auto rotate anymore. Ive already ODINed back to stock, it still wont work Any ideas or help?
-Edit-
I downloaded Accelerometer Test to make sure that the accelerometer wasn't busted. It's working fine. The phone just will not rotate.

Only two things I can think of:
1: Go to settings > Sound and Display > Make sure Orientation is checked.
2: (If using Launcher Pro). Menu button while on homescreen > Preferences > Behavior Settings > make sure Enable Auto-rotation is checked.
Other than that, no idea :\

On stock, the homescreens wont rotate unless the keyboard is slid out.
Is it rotating on the browser and on pictures?

No. And if i slide the keyboard out, it rotates. But then it gets stuck in landscape unless i go to something that forces portrait mode, such as the home screen.

Ah if its even getting stuck in landscape mode than its got to be something framework or .apk related.
Beats me, sorry man :\ Hope someone is able to help you more so than I could.

This worked for me but I'll take no responsibility if it mucks something else up
1. Download a terminal app from the market
2. Enter one line at a time.
su
/system/bin/sensorcalibutil_yamaha
3. Follow the onscreen directions, while making sure you device is flat.
pay attention to the bump at bottom on back.
I hung said bump off the edge of table
I preformed this AFTER flashing to stock and then flashing my former ROM.
So it was not done in 2.2"

THANK YOU! I had the same problem and this fixed it. Of course, i had to root my shizzle again. By chance did anyone with this problem run the Froyo 2.2 built-in calibration before this came about?

Oh wow, thank you so much!! The fix using the terminal emulator totally worked for me too, I thought I was going to have to go back to stock to see if it would fix itself! After running the lines in the terminal, it still wouldn't automatically detect orientation, so went to the display settings, unchecked orientation, and checked it again, and now works perfectly! The lack of orientation was so frustrating, especially after using the keyboard and the only way to fix it was turning off the screen... thanks again!

Does this increase the speed of rotating in froyo beta cuz i noticed the rotating is really slow

This helped for me. I was having the slow rotation problem as well. This fixed it. I didn't see results right away though. Took a few minutes and a restart to work

Just wanted to bump this. I had issues with auto rotation broken after going to DK28 and downgrading back to DI18.
I didn't test if it fixed it or not, however it did remove the annoying lag on DK28 when the screen rotates. Only reason I was downgrading

What terminal app did you use?
It says "su" is not found

Auto rotation

Does Nexus 7 have auto rotation or not? When I turn it from vertical to horizontal, the screen does not change at all.

Yes it has auto rotate but it may not work for a couple of reasons:
It will not work on the "homepage" as for some reason, it is still not available to landscape your homepage.
If your in apps, like the broswer etc, then yes it should auto-rotate, but my Nexus 7 also had this turned off by default.
Goto your settings -> display -> auto rotate. (Im 90% sure its under display )
Make sure the box is ticked
Hope I helped

If you're wondering how to enable rotation on the launcher (homepage), you can do it a number of ways. If you don't want to root, you can install an app like ultimate rotation control from the play store. You can also install an alternate launcher like Apex or Nova.
If you want to root, you can flash a ROM that has tablet mode such as Paranoid Android. You can also edit the build.prop file but I wouldn't recommend the latter as it seems to have negative repercussions in system apps.

Very strange - there is no auto rotate option as per you described. Where does it go?

Easiest way, when you pull the notification bar down, you will see 2 Icons right at the top of the notification bar.
One will be three lines, with dots on them, which looks like the icon of the "Settings" app.
Next to that, you will see something with two arrows, and in the middle either like a screen of a device, or a padlock.
That is what you want to click, if the padlock is there, then rotation is locked, if you have the device screen, with the two arrows, auto rotate is enabled.
Hope this helps.

If you want more help download the application nova launcher.
Once you have nova, open it up and go to "look and fell". Once In there go Into screen orientation and click on auto-rotate.
When you finish do the command above, and it all should work

add this to the end of your build.prop file and reboot, then youll be able to autorotate your homescreen. no, adding this to your build.prop file will not hurt your device or cause issues as others here have stated..
launcher.force_enable_rotation=true

Works great! Thank you!

The auto rotate is turned off when you have stock jelly bean. But if you pull down the menu you can change it there.

Apex Launcher does it too.
The cheapest way ist modifying the build.prop
An nice app but it cost is
look for "Ultimate Rotation Control" in app store
goes like hell

Don't use the rotation control app, at least not in auto or forced auto. It kills performance.

What is build.prop file and where is it to find for the modification?

RE
The Rotation Control app worked great on my Nexus 7.
I can't say the same for my GS3;
it kept resetting itself to "Forced Auto".
The build.prop method is easy, and works mostly well.
My only problem seems that the Play Store app always crashes when the screen rotates in the app drawer. I'm not sure yet if it happens anywhere else, but so far everything else is good.
The build.prop file is in the "/system/" folder, and you'll need root access to get to it.
Once rooted, get ES File Explorer from the app store.
You'll need to enable "Root Explorer", "Up to Root" and "Mount File System" in the app's "Root Settings" to reach and edit the build.prop.
Once you find the build.prop file in the /system/ folder, you can press it and choose to open it with ES Note Editor.
!!!!! WARNING !!!!!
Before you start messing with the build.prop file,
you'd be smart to make a nandroid backup in CWM.
The slightest typo or mistake can cause your device to not boot up.
You've been warned...!
!!!!! END WARNING !!!!!
But, assuming you add the line accurately to the bottom of your build.prop, you'll be ok.

also, in case you mess something up in you build.prop file, any kind of edit, not just this, you can just reflash your current ROM(no wiping of anything) without anykind of data loss or repercussions. well, OK, one repercussion, a loss of about 3-4 minutes

[Q] cyanogenmod 10 screen rotation issue.

I'm running the 24/10/2012 dated version of Cyanogenmod 10 with my nexus 7, and I can't make the screen rotate to landscape mode in the desktop. Auto-rotate is enable, even for lock screen, which seems to go to landscape mode without any problem. Same for the setting screen.
The only way it works is when I use an app. I checked Google to find a solution, but all I saw is "Enable auto-rotate and it should work". Not for me though.
Any help will be appreciated. Thank you.

Have you enabled auto rotation in settings/accessibility?

Samsung note 3

Buzz launcher
xposed + module (xblast tool-swiftkey)

Type *#0*# on your dialer and look for sensor then image test if it rotates your are good. If not have to check your luncher settings.

If you have deleted Samsung HUB you have to reflash your ROM, reinstalling HUB won't fix it has to be reflash. Once it's back, freeze it and rotation should be OK :good:

Both thanks for the reply!!
Tried all but did not have any effect.
Last but not least I got out the battery and sim card.. Put it all back in and started the note.
Rotation is back. Only homescreen, appdrawer won't rotate.

They don't rotate by default (unless you have enabled in GB/XB or Wanam) - it's possible if you have enabled it, there is a conflict hence no rotation of home/drawer.
