Hey,
Doing a Nexus car mod at the present time and having issues with apps that are only designed for portrait mode being stretch into landscape mode rendering them useless.
In this example the app is ingress.
Is there a way to rotate an app into landscape mode but still keep in its portrait size so there would be black boxes on the left and right of the app?
Thanks for your help

Hi for some reason, today its easier for me to go from landscape to portrait mode... I don't now what happen, but sensitivity changed when I'm using YouTube. I use it almost always on portrait mode, except viewing videos.. before I can lay on my side and watch videos in landscape mode, but now it changes to portrait...is it possible to change its sensitivity?
Thanks
P.s. my settings is always a lock even before sensitivity increased..

Obviously the MHL/Slimport adapters work in landscape mode (videos on youtube confirm that). But what about portrait? Does the screen rotate and show the apps and the home screen in portrait when you rotate the phone? (my DroidX does this and apple airplay devices do it as well).
thanks!
Hi guys
I have searched and not seen this issue much and no fixes for it.
I recently shot some video with my S4, when I try and play it back the orientation is flipped. I shot the video in landscape but when I play it back, it flips it portrait so you kinda have to tilt your head to watch it.
Has anybody come across this before, better yet, anybody know how to remedy this?? It's driving me nuts.
By the way, phone is still standard, not yet even rooted.
Thanks for any suggestions...
Which application are you using to play your recorded videos?
Have you switched on auto Screen Rotation?
If i switched off Screen Rotation, the recoded videos(landscape) plays back in portrait on stock video player. You can turn the video to landscape by pressing the rotate icon on top right hand corner of the app.
If i have Screen Rotation on, the video app will automatically start in landscape mode.

I'm using the std video app, I have now turned off auto rotation and I can indeed switch to landscape. Any idea why it records in the wrong orientation in the first place, maybe auto rotation enabled is the cause??
Thanks for your help mate.
Its recorded wrong in the first place because Auto Rotation was off. Switch on auto rotation before recording.

Right now I'm using Nova Launcher because I need landscape mode in order to use MirrorLink in my car.
All is working well. However, I realised that there are 2 horizontal black bars at the top and bottom of the car screen. That's because of the aspect ratio. The car screen is 5:3 and S7 edge is 16:9. In order to reach 5:3, I need to change the default 2560x1440 resolution of my S7 edge to 2400x1440.
I'm using Easy DPI Changer (ROOT) to achieve that. In portrait mode there's no issues, screen resizes well and calibration it's fine. BUUUUT... When rotating the S7 edge to get landscape mode, it just reboots. Always, no matter the launcher. It's something coming from Android 7? Maybe TouchWiz?
The app is working amazing with a Sony XPERIA Z3 with Android 6.0.1. But it's not my daily smartphone so I need this to work with my S7 edge so bad.
Any help will be appreciated.
(Sorry if my English is bad)
Try to set dpi with that app while you are on landscape mode. This may fix reboot but don't know about potrait mode issues

not working.
"Easy DPI changer" it's in portrait mode only, although I put my S7 edge in landscape, the app launches in portrait and when changing to 2400x1400 and going to home screen, screen tries to turn to landscape and it crashes like before.
Seems like TouchWiz or Android 7 doesn't support other resolutions in landscape mode than 16:9 (1280x720, 1920x1080, 2560x1440)???? :S
It must be samsung systemui, the other apps are made to scale at any resolution
When I'm not using my TV I want it to function as a portrait mode picture frame. I have it set on a mount that can rotate from landscape to portrait. I've tried most of the set rotation like apps that are available in the google store. They will rotate the screen to portrait, but then the shield will rotate the screen and add giant black bars to the side.
Is there any way to modify the code in the shield to prevent it from doing this?
