anyone know how fix the glitch in nesterj4u that flips screen upside down in landscape mode during game play even though emulator is right sideup during pause or before loading rom.
using raphael btw
Firstly, thanks so much for all the work you guys did and shared here.
I've noticed that the default screen orientation is landscape for VEGAn-Tab and probably for TnT Lite also, which brings all the games with tilting control useless. It's also a headache for people who got used to portrait screen on phones (eg. reading in bed while placing the tab on side). Is there a way to change the default orientation to portrait in some Mod version? Or there is a way to fix this already that I didn't realize?
Saying "default at landscape" I mean when you lock the orientation/shut the auto rotate or start a game, the screen locks at landscape. For example, while playing those racing game or so, we have to tilt front/back to actually control the car to left/right -_-
Thanks!
Some games actually work, so I think the general understanding is that other games have something hardcoded incorrectly, for tablets. This is also the reason why the vendors themselves haven't fixed this, yet.
There is a way to rotate the screen to portrait, in Froyo. But, the calibration is totally borked, when you do that.
Hello all,
Does anyone knows if there is way to change the screen orientation in landscape? Because currently, my hands blocks the speakers.
It would be nice to play games upside down so my hands doesn't gets in the way.

I answered this in another thread a couple minutes ago.
Depends on your ROM. If you don't mind switching to CM7, it will automatically rotate upside-down when you flip the tablet. Aside from that, someone said ADW Launcher is capable of doing this. However, an issue might be that games automatically orient themselves based on how the tablet is meant to be held.
Hello,
I have noticed on certain standard android apps a number of issues that I have come across. I have tried with auto-rotation on and off of screen in settings. I have restarted my Xoom also. I don't have any of these issues with any of the tablet apps.
1. First off Jetcar Stunts, and Return Zero the menus are normal and function fine, but when you go into a race the screen looks like it is tilted at 45 degree angle. If you turn your Xoom vertical, the screen will level out, but you are looking at the car on the left side of the screen.
2. Several racing games TurboFly 3d and couple of others I cant think off of the top of my head work fine and the screen is in the right position, but to when you tilt to the left it turns the car to right, and vise verse the other way. The turning controls have been switched.
3. Adao File Manager, Adao Uninstaller, ishoot, and Medieval Castle retain their original size of an android phone. Is there any way to zoom in or have these apps stretched to fit the screen? The ipad lets you view iphone apps standard size and stretched size.
Anybody experiencing these problems, or have any solutions?
Thank you for your input.

Install "Spare Parts" free from the market.. Open it and uncheck the box for compatibility mode... Might not fix every issue as some things just refuse to run on HoneyComb yet but it should fix some of them. It will absolutely fix your last section where the apps don't fill the screen.
The problem is not you, or anything you did. The issue is honeycomb. Not all apps are compatable yet. It was like trying to run a win xp app on win 7 when it first dropped. Didnt work. Just wait. They will be updated eventually.
Thank you,
The spare parts helped with the apps that was stuck in their native resolution. It now fills the whole screen.
Yep... I'm waiting, too... seems Napster, SiriusXM, and my banks' apps aren't even showing up as installable on my Xoom - but they all show up on my Pure running XDAndroid! (waiting for July so I can upgrade to a real Android phone ).
I immediately put this all down to the fact that Honeycomb is so new, the devs didn't have opportunity to build versions compatible with it... yet.
But... this begs a question... I'd love to be able to copy the .apk's from apps I directly-installed on my XDAndroid port, onto the Xoom and see if they'll run anyway... but I can't seem to find the apk's. Being a noob on Android still, can anyone tell me how I can get a hold of these app files, or does the Market simply download, install, and delete?
Thanks...

I downloaded Gameboy Color A.D. emulator form the market last week to play some pokemon. Everything was going good until I flip the phone. when I turn it sideways, the game restarts. If I turn it right side up, the game restarts. Is there anyway to fix this?
That's an issue in the app. Email the dev seems best resolved, and in the meantime you can disable screen rotation in the drop-down menu before playing (maybe it'll work? )
