Is there any way to disable the automatic "revert" to portrait after sliding back the keyboard? I would like to stay in Landscape all the time.
There is a today screen plugin that offers this...of course the name escapes me. I do know that the Diamond 19588 ROM has this feature built in however, so if you are desperate to have this feature, than you can go that route.

By default, Gyrator disables Manila/TouchFlo3D, but long story short, I hang my phone upside by the lanyard attachment near a window to get better reception. Thus, I have enabled orientation switching for TouchFlo. However, the TF3D UI is messed up (the tabs portion of it) when in landscape and reverse-landscape orientation. Maybe I have not explored the options/settings fully, but is it possible to disable specific orientation but allow other orientations (in this case, disable landscape, but allow allow reverse portrait) for a particular program?
Thanks.
If i understand the question correctly, you only need gyrator to switch between 2 orientations? In that case if you look at the orientation tab when you edit the event, you can uncheck specific orientations. For instance, if i wanted tomtom to only switch between default portrait and reverse landscape, i would add a new rule with tomtom as the application focus. Then i would move to the next tab (orientation) and check only portait and reverse landscape. Then I would check Rotate Screen in the events tab and apply. That will limit tomtom's rotation (or any other app) to only rotate when the phone is turned in one of the two orientations.
I hope that wasn't too confusing i almost got lost typing it. =)
I read the question again. You can just check portrait and reverse portrait and leave landscape/reverse landscape unchecked for the touchflo rule.
thanks!
lacrossev, thanks for the detailed walkthough. You (and I) forgot about checking "orientation" in the popup menu when long-clicking the event as this was why my setting wasn't working.
Is there a way to disable the rotate on the Touch Pro? My annoyance is that some times I take pictures with the phone in landscape..... and when I view the pictures, the phone would auto rotate the screen making unviewable
I see a solution with using different picture viewer. I use Resco,because it has much more functionalities than builtin viewer. I want to disable autorotation while keyboard is slided out. Any hack for this?
Very great app. I hate Auto-Rotate mode because it always triggered at the wrong moment! It's really help me to customize my Android. I put fixed landscape mode for 90% of my normal and system apps (Apex Launcher, Opera Mobile, Polaris Office etc). Smart Rotator starts on device boot and always control your apps rotate mode. You can choose Auto-Rotate, Portrait Fixed or Landscape Fixed for separate apps. Smart Rotator completely changed my usual "portrait" use of Galaxy Note. Now I always hold my device at landscape mode and it become more comfortable to use. Watching videos, web browsing and maps are now extremely handy. I only left portrait mode for Astro Player and some games.

I like Ultimate Rotation Control it allows me to set the orientation on the fly. Eg,often if I'm using the phone lying down in bed, I want to lock the orientation differently to if I'm sitting upright.
Also, you can set the orientation upside down so that the capacitative buttons are at the top and out of the way for some apps.
Howdy all,
Unless I am missing something. Can the messages scroll in the same orientation like the clock at night. Example if you have cnn streaming the words run along the main screen. I would have liked it run away from the main screen if I have the edge laying flat on a table and looking straight at it. Hope I explained it well enough lol.
Yes, kinda
If screen rotation is on, you can check the box for 180 degree rotation in the edge panel settings. This will rotate the edge panel correctly with the phone.
Unfortunately, this doesn't work without auto rotation on, which I don't like.
I love the tablet and am fine with the stock launcher and everything, but I'm having issues setting a good wallpaper.
The one I want to use looks great if I align the top-right corner of it to the top right of the display, both in portrait and landscape mode. However, if I try to set it to that in either mode, it seems to crop the image to fit just that mode and when I rotate the display it keeps the image's new center point and just scales it up to keep the screen filled, cutting off the wrong edges and looking terrible.
Is there any way to fix this? Am I stuck trying to use a 3rd-party launcher if I want to use this wallpaper?
Thanks
