I want to use Gyrator to automatically rotate TomTom into landscape mode irrelevant of the phones orientation.
the reason is I use the phone on my motorbike and it sits flat. Also with the cornering it ends up rotating all the time.
How do I do that?
Currently I have a new event called TomTom and the flag is set to 0. No orientation and no Stylus.
MunichWinClass
No Orientation
No Stylus
Actions. Rotate Screen
How do I get it to trigger just on seeing the app and to only lock it into the Landscape position?
Sort of solution
I have adjusted it so it actions on orientation and it only rotates in Landscape. Once rotated it won't rotate back out.
eg
TomTom : 1
MunichWinClass
Landscape
No Stylus settings selected
Actions. Rotate Screen
Would be nice to have it trigger on application startup detect??
really strange. this is not "slow" it's just not happening.
home screen
web browser
pulse
other apps
funny thing was i actually like this for most of my use. but then i started to notice it. the strange thing is sometimes i'll pick it up in portrait mode and unlock and i will get the vertical lock screen.
anyone notice this? am i missing a setting somewhere?
It happened to me the same thing, set with a reboot.
Do you have Auto rotate enabled or disabled? (The block with two arrows around it in the quick settings.)
With auto rotate off it doesn't rotate when unlocked. Picking it up (and unlocking) in portrait mode rotates the screen to portrait mode. The lock screen does rotate.

Orientation Manager is a simple application to manage your device orientation anytime anywhere. It can be accessed on top of almost any application running (Except full screen applications).
Setting up and using Orientation manager is very easy. It has setting options for
Starting / stopping the Orientation Manager.
Starting automatically on the device boot up.
Force rotate mode to forcefully rotate any application (Very useful for tablets to use applications in landscape mode which runs only in portrait mode).
Force rotate is also useful to rotate the home screen of devices having fixed portrait orientation e.g. Nexus 7, HTC devices, etc.
Option to remove Orientation Manager icon from status bar.
Option to select color scheme which looks better on your screen.
Features-
Rotate screen clockwise or anticlockwise.
Start / stop auto-rotation.
To fix current orientation just stop the auto rotation by clicking on auto-rotate button and to release it just click it again.
Using Orientation Manager is very simple.
As soon as you start the Orientation Manager you will get a Float (floating pointer) on the screen.
You can adjust the position of the Float on screen by dropping it to any side of the screen.
Pull the Float towards the center to open the rotation panel.
Just press back button or pull the Float out of the center and release to close the panel and float will return to its position.
Simple right!!!
Please share your reviews and help me in making your experience better...
Note: In force rotate mode some applications which are designed for portrait or landscape mode only can malfunction on forcefully changing their default orientation.

S22 Ultra has huge screen and I would like to use it in landscape orientation always, is there a way to set it permanently ?
I have already tried 'Turn your phone the orientation you want it to stay in and then lock it with the auto rotate button from the quick panel. You can lock it in either portrait or landscape that way.'
and didn't work for me, here is the video https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...orientation-permanently.4411873/post-86533919
one approach: use bixby routines and set to rotate to landscape for all apps on open

I dont see trigger for screen unlock
Is this not an option in the pull-down toggles anymore? I'm still waiting for my S22U to come in, but on my S8 you can pull down and get a "Auto-Rotate" toggle. You'd enable that, rotate the screen the way you want it, and then tap it again -- the text would then change to "Portrait" or "Landscape" and the rotation would be locked in.
Turn your phone the orientation you want it to stay in and then lock it with the auto rotate button from the quick panel. You can lock it in either portrait or landscape that way.
@itsXpanD and @AndroidNO0B i have tried this, once i lock the screen in landscape and go back. it returns to portrait.

Search your settings for landscape and the rotate to landscape option near the bottom.

(had to record with other mobile as as screen recording gets stopped when locked.)
managed to make it happen
this is what I was missing.
Huh, that's interesting. Seems to be a more recent addition, there was no long-press menu on OneUI 1.0 yet. Glad it's working now!
Can't activate rotate screen - why is it not the default?

Turn Auto rotate, Portrait, or Landscape mode on or off
Swipe down from the top of the screen to open the Quick settings panel.
Look for the screen orientation icon. ...
If the screen is locked in Portrait or Landscape mode and you need to change it, tap the icon (either Portrait or Landscape) so it activates Auto rotate
