Hi,
I have written a small application to rotate the application's orientation to Landscape, Reverse landscape and Auto dynamically. This application is working fine when the phone is not connected to any external display device via MHL-HDMI. Once i connect my phone (Galaxy Nexus) to external display device via MHL-HDMI cable, phone/app orientation automatically changing to Landscape. In this case, my application is not working if i try to change the orientation to Reverse Landscape. Please suggest me what needs to be done to make my app work.
Hi,
I would like to rotate the screen of the MK808b adapter. Which file should I edit, could someone please help me out?
I guess via apps won't work while android TV adapters have locked screen orientation.
hello everyone,
I'm having a little problem with an android stick that I'm trying to use.
the stick I'm using is the IconBIT Toucan Stick HD and there's a specific thing I want it to do, I want the screen to get positioned to portrait mode, and stay in that mode.
the reason why I want to do this because the stick is an HDMI stick, so you plug it into a HDMI port, which often is a television or a monitor, so it boots in landscape mode.
but I'm planning on using this stick for a project I'm doing, where I'll be using a monitor standing straight up, so if the stick boots in landscape mode, the screen needs to be in portrait mode to be able to use the stick for this.
I've tried installing 2 apps so far, Ultimate Rotation Control and Set Orientation, but both didn't seem to do what I wanted them to do.
the android version that's on the stick is 4.0.4 which is the latest update for this device.
does anyone perhaps know a trick I can use for this, or an app that'll do this for me, or is it perhaps not possible for this device to be used in portrait mode?
hello everyone,
I'm having a problem with the rotation of my android device and I was hoping if anyone could help me with this.
to give some backstory, I'm trying to create a magic mirror using a MK809 III B Quad-Core android stick, which uses android 4.4.2
the stick is used with a computer monitor (Samsung Syncmaster 205BW), but the monitor will be used vertically. (I'm using a HDMI>DVI-D adapter to connect the two)
because of this, I need to have the screen rotated 90 degrees in portrait mode, and android does allow you to change the rotation of the screen, but it doesn't do it well.
normally the rotation is set to landscape, but you've the option of setting the rotation of the screen, but if I set the rotation to 90 degrees, rather than actually rotating the screen with 90 degrees, it rather pushes a vertical screen in landscape mode, thus cutting off half of the screen.
so far I've tried apps such as Ultimate Rotation Control, but those do not actually rotate the screen, rather they just lock the rotation.
my question now is if anyone can help me with this problem, or tell me if it's even possible to do the thing I'm trying to do.
Any Luck?
I'm having the exact same problem with APQ8084 SOM running android 5.0.2 outputting to HDMI monitor (no accelerometer).
You would think this would be an easy problem to solve.
If I put my Winodws 10 Monitor in portrait mode, it correctly rotates screen 90 degrees end of story.
As Yusunoha mentioned, changing the user rotation in Android (via several methods):
1. using the "settings put system user_rotation 0/1/2/3"
2. modifying PhoneWindowManager.java to always return preferred rotation as "portrait"
3. Setting "persist.panel.orientation=90/270"
Does NOT result in screen rotating 90 degrees.
Instead I get a compressed portrait mode stuck inside my landscape orientation.
It's almost as if the accelerometer (which I don't have) is telling the OS to always orient towards it's perceived gravity.
Any tips rotating the entire Android Display experience (not on a per APK basis) would be wonderful.
Anyone have any ideas?

Found any solution? Even with my rooted device and these settings it won't work. Also using usb c > hdmi > vga.
Hello! I bought a huwaei media tab 3 for a car installation. i open the device to solder a cable to the power button. after that i noticed that the device oriantion is the opposite of what the divece is actually is. For example right landscape is now left landscape. Auto rotation works it detects the change of orientation and changes modes only they are inverted. I tried factory reset still the same problem. What can i try? sure i didnt touch or break anything cause sensor works it detects movements.
