Is there some kind of tweak or such that I could install to be able to rotate my Galaxy Tab 4 (10.1) upside down? I got a case (with a built in cover) for it, that can fold and prop it up for easy typing, but the device ends up upside down so thus it's useless...
I'm rooted so maybe there's an Xposed module for this?

I may have same case. I use my tab inverted upside down, because such cover . In order to display was all the time in this state, I disabled auto rotate screen. And also that some applications were also upside down, I use Rotation Manager https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.spydiko.rotationmanager
I found a way to easily accomplish 180 degrees rotation, there's an option to do so in Wanam's Xposed module... it was right under my nose! Haha Thanks all for the suggestions!

So far many apps are pretty lax in whether you hold the fire landscape with usb port on right or left. I was holding it to the left since I had it and had no problems.
Now I have a case like a book flap and I prefer the flap ontop hanging back,.usb port on the left. Couple.of.apps force it upside down, having to hold it the other way looks and feels stupid now. Anyone know if there's an app or what.exactly would control that? The kernel?

Found an app, Orientation Control
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.coinsoft.android.orientcontrol&hl=en
This has an override to force the landscape the other way. Only problem I've seen is if you have it set to autorotate like default, then those apps will still rotate counterclock. If you set this to forced, it will do it clockwise but lock and disable the auto rotate.
So an extra step if you know youll be using something for a while and worth manually setting and locking the setting.
my display is stuck in landscape now since yesterday while i was trying to install swiftkey x. i never actually got it installed so i cannot say it is the cause of having the display stuck. i was also tinkering around in nook colour tools, but cannot seem to find anything nook colour tools' settings that fixes my problem.
any feedback is appreciated.
I ordered my Nexus 10 and I am trying to find a case that will work for my needs. Can anyone confirm or deny that the screen will rotate on any app or screen? (Example: App only comes up in landscape. Will the apps rotate if the tablet is flipped?) My other cases open from the top, letting me use the screen cover to prop the tablet up against my legs. All the cases I am finding open from the bottom. To use the case in my normal manner I would have to flip the tablet "up side down". So I am wondering if the tablet will force rotate on any app or screen.
I take it that some apps just will not rotate. I may just get one of the rotating cases.
Nope; apps that force a particular rotation will only appear one way. For example, a landscape-only app will only appear the right way when your holding the device normally (camera/sensor on top, LED on bottom). If you hold the tablet the opposite way, the image will be upside-down. Same goes for portrait-only apps.
There are few apps however that actually rotate at all 4 ways of holding the tablet.

I tried it on Skype App that only comes in landscape mode and it does flip to the other side of landscape. It won't rotate to portrait mode regardless what you do though. Hope I understand what you asked correctly.

Try this app: Ultimate Rotation Control.It can force some apps to rotate ,even those are designed for landscape or portrait only
Hello, having noticed that LG Quickwindow is rather awkward to open with the left hand (it opens on the left) I was wondering how could I enable a 180° rotation on the screen, which would allow me to use the phone upside down with my left hand. I'm sure many cyanogenmod or other roms might allow me to rotate any direction as was often was the case in my previous phones, but I would rather stay on stock for now, thus requiring a "flashable" feature.
Thank you in advance,

Open pie menu using stylus only. Put stylus oriented apps in pie menu-like launcher. How can I achieve this. I'm loosing sleep over such a feature.
it would work like this...
All is normal. Un-silo stylus, then swipe inward from edge of screen using stylus. Pie menu opens, but only if initiated using stylus. I can do the rest from there.
I cannot find anything using search RE: this. One would think Galaxy Note XYZ forums for this, but alas.
Any takers?

You could achieve this with LMT and tasker combined together.

When pen is removed activate lmt when pen is returned deactivate lmt you will have to find the task for the stylus being removed and replaced. But since it turns the screen on it should be in there somewhere.
I guess I need to brush up on Tasker a little more before I attempt such a feat. I guess this would be a good way for me to start learning! Any tips or suggestions would be much appreciated.
If I can manage to accomplish this, I'll post any results.

I just got a shield tablet and wanted to use the pen remove/return as a tasker trigger for something else. Please, could you tell me how to set that up as a trigger? I just haven't been able to find it.
So a while back my nexus fell and the bottom half of the screen is damaged and is un-responsive to touch. Is there a way to force the apps that don't allow me to rotate it upside down to do just that?
If there's a way to have a kernel that forces it that'd be great as well, but I doubt that's possible. Any help or guidance would be very appreciated.
Rotation control, from play store( even on lock screen)

Awesome. Do you know if you're able to flip screen on android installation (I'm on an old ROM from lollipop.)
Turns out that you cannot flip it during install, is there a way to force it outside of installing the rotation control?
