That is a convenience feature added by google that lets you switch the orientation when you have orientation lock enabled.
It only appears when you have the rotation locked and you rotate the phone so that it is opposite of what the orientation lock is set too. So for example if you have the phone locked in portrait orientation and you rotate the phone to landscape orientation it will appear.
Turning off the orientation lock will cause the convenience feature to not appear
Otherwise you can try the suggestion at the link below and see if it works. If it does not work I have not seen any other method(s).

When using my Archos 70, I find out that the screen orientation is somehow strange.
1st - I like to use it in portrait. However, I cannot make the screen 'lock' to portrait orientation. The 'lock' feature only supports landscape orientation
2nd - Even in portrait mode, when using some apps, the orientation is inverted (such as z4root). Seems Archos makes the default portrait position to be like 'power button at the bottom and the USB at the top). However..... I think most of you will agree that we all like the power button AT THE TOP.
So, is there a way to fix the orientation (default) to portrait, with power button at the top?
Thanks for your help.
1. Yes lock is Landscape, that has to do with the stand.
2. This has to do with the way android works. Normaly view is stopped and started again with the new orientation by the os. But the developer can tell Android that it handöes this switch itself and then the app is responsible for thee switching.
So there is no way atm to change this.
Whenever I use an application (on my A101) that only works in portrait mode, the power button is always at the top.
So far I have tried with Twonky and z4root.
edit: oh, and I believe some of the launchers available will let you lock screen in portrait mode ... try Launcher Pro or ADW
Is there an app out there to allow you to manually rotate the screen? Seems like you're left with either auto rotation which may not always be right if you're moving around a bit or at a weird angle or with turning it off and then being stuck with landscape.
I haven't see one with a manual rotate widget or button. However, ADW Launcher EX has a setting that lets you choose from auto, portrait, landscape or keyboard mode.
So you could lock portrait, or landscape for your home screens. However, most applications will not respect this setting if they have their own sensor hook. So for example in my reader program, I still have to lock the setting to portrait.
Not sure if there is a way to override application specific rotation - which may be what you are after.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
Is there a way to have ADW EX Auto-Rotate and Landscape only? In other words no portrait, only landscape, but able to have landscape from either side. Does that make any sense? haha, thanks!
I can get mine to lock to landscape but only in one orientation of landscape though. Haven't really looked into too deeply though

Orientation Control can lock the orientation to SIX modes:
1. Landscape
2. Reversed Landscape (Android 2.3.1 and above only)
3. Portrait (Same as disabling auto rotate in phone's settings)
4. Forced Portrait (Always in portrait regardless of app!)
5. Reversed Portrait (Android 2.3.1 and above only)
6. Auto Rotate

It worked well in my rooted nt
Okay, I'm installing the View in place of the Samsung Galaxy Tab that is in the dash of my car right now, but for ease of access to the power button, I need it rotated to REVERSE LANDSCAPE.
For some reason, the View will only go into Landscape if you turn it counter clockwise from Portrait.
Any help here?
S-Off Rooted and stock HC.
Try "rotation locker"
Once in your homescreen and with the rotation you prefer press the widget and lock it. Every app will be forced to show in that orientation.
Thank you, but the problem is you can't get it into the rotation I need.
Hold your View/Flyer in portrait, and then turn it clockwise. It stays in portrait.
Yeah it seems to only rotate ways in which the Capacative buttons are located. Maybe a DEV can unlock that feature?
I'd hope so. I found an app that will do it, but you have to LOCK it in that position. Not a problem for what I'm using it for, but still, not optimal.
Orientation Control is the app I found.
I am sure many miss the ability to lock the rotation whether if you are in landscape mode or portrait mode. But as you may know, on OOS4 (Nougat) when you lock the rotation it goes back to portrait mode.
After trying many apps I found a solution that is actually better than what I was looking for. My intention was to find an extra tile but instead I found out that this app will modify de behaviour of the existing tile. So when you are in landscape and lock the rotation it will stay locked in landscape mode. Just like the old days.
To do that just download this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nl.fameit.rotate
Then set it up like in the screen shots attached and you're done.
The only drawback is that you need a license after 7 days.
Hope this helps.
