Lost auto rotate - Epic 4G Android Development

So i flashed to the froyo beta, had random reboots, and gps issues, so i odin'd back to 2.1....All is well, except my auto rotate is F'd. I am using launcher pro...enabled auto rotate, but it wont rotate until i open slide the phone open. When i close it, i get a blink of the screen, but it stays rotated....only way to get it back to normal, is lock phone, unlock. I have tried reflashing...wiping...nothing works....but when i flash back to froyo...it works!!!! WTF???Any ideas? Thanks

Iirc, the option for 270 rotate is in your build.prop in 2.1 but it's not used in 2.2. There should be an entry for "270 rotate= true" in order for it to work. Verify that it's there and let us know...

Autorotate on 1.5?

has anyone gotten autorotate to work on the new 1.5 firmware? I am running JF's build of ADP1.5 and haven't seen it working (thought it was supposed to be a new feature of 1.5?)
I turned on the option in display settings for orientation, but nothing happens when i rotate my phone. accelerometer works because papijump still plays nicely.
It doesn't work on the home (desktop) screen, but it does everywhere else.
oh, thanks it should work on the home page. sheesh

Get aHome for cupcake and it will auto-rotate. Oh, and get it while it's free. It's in testing mode right now but worked with no problems for me.

It doesn't work everywhere else there are other parts of the phone that it doesn't work on, like the call screen when on a call, anything to do with the dialer and contacts basically there are other but im tired and headed to bed. lol
Menu->Settings->Display and check Orientation and it will auto rotate

Just a word of experience. I had rom that used to do full auto-rotate. And it was the BIGGEST pain in the a$$. I would try to dial while driving and it would be rotated the wrong way, etc.
So some apps can auto-rotate and some NEVER EVER SHOULD !!

Agreed; I do miss it on the Home screen, but it's implemented wisely otherwise. The first thing that came to mind when he said he wanted auto-rotate for contacts and dialer was "Why would you want that!?"

Lol I a bit tired but that was kinda the point i was trying to get across I like it better this way.
I just wish I could figure out a way to get it to not go back to portrait everytime it goes to sleep. I keep it on my desk for e-mail checking/web browsing in the landscape position. Every time the phone turns off the screen, whe I turn it back on I have to pick it up so it will go back to landscape. Any one have any advice for this?
yea, i used to hate while getting a call, trying to answer but it wont because it auto rotated back and forth...new auto rotate will take few days to get used to but its better IMO

something weird happening after doing apps to SD

Ok so i have the JF 1.5 build and i just did the New easier, more reliable apps to SD setup. My phone ended up having to be wiped because of something else so i had to start from scratch, but now the bouncing rotate effect will not work at all. I have it enabled, but still nothing happens. does anyone have any suggestions?
It doesn't auto rotate on HOME screen. Settings, browsers, market, gallery..etc. auto rotate works fine
mine stopped auto rotating on all of them. Also, auto rotate did work on the home screen before i had to wipe my phone
i used to be able to do messaging in horizontal mode using the full onscreen keyboard, but not anymore

Did you enable it? In the new build it's disabled by default. try pressing menu at the home screen and going to settings->sound and display and make sure the orientation checkbox is checked
Marcus, your the freakin man!!!! I totally forgot about that one. I only switched it in Spareparts app. thanks a ton man
phone seems to be all good now

Accelerometer not working in all apps anymore

My accelerometer stopped working in some apps. I have Elixir & it shows that the accelerometer is outputting data, & if I use my camera it can sense whether it's in portrait or landscape, yet if I pull up my browser, messaging app, or gallery it won't switch orientation.
What the hell is wrong & how can I fix it?
Mine started thus today in the browser, thought nothing of it until my browser assumes the phone to be upside down and refusing to change it's orientation, how odd.
I'm currently on RCMix 1.0 ics build. Prob gonna reflash later or go back to gb build if not fixed, see what happens.
Make sure you have "Auto-rotate" in Quick settings if you're on sense...

I cant get cm10 to work right, Please help

The 07 version works fine but the new one i am having a problem and cant figure it out.I have cleared and reset everything and did a clean install. every things fine until i lock the phone or screen timeout. then the bottom lights dont come back on. i have done the factory reset again and cleared davlik and still not helping. If i send a email it will activate the notification lights and it will work untill screen locked again. i have toggled them on and off as well. Anyone else have this problem and have a solution for me?
Bln works, but is buggy. If this is your only problem, be happy
At some point something will click and it'll start to work right. I'm trying to stabilize that driver but it may be a while.

Question Back button doesn't work as back gesture

Hi all, from some days I have a strange issue. Back button doesn't work if I set back gesture, but if I choose multitasking it works fine.
Already rebooted but nothing. On a Facebook group, another person tell me that has same problem, but whit a reboot it works for some time.
Someone other with this issue?
Same issue here from time to time, reboot normally makes back button work again.

I restored from scratch and now works fine!
