proble with "screensaver" orientation mode. help please

it souds confusing when i call this a "screensaver".
i dont know if it is specific to orange (i have a E650 clone of the vox), but when it is connected to my computer (and only when it is connected) some time after the phone enter "sleepmode" i get an automatic slideshow using the pictures stored in "my documents/my pictures" on the phone memory.
that's what i called the "screensaver"
recently i installed lot of programs on my orange e650 and i just discovered that now the included "screensaver" displays the pictures with the wrong (inverted) orientation : landscape (and reduced because i use only portait 240*320 pics) when when the azerty keyboard is closed and it switches to portrait (full screen) when i open it.
and when i let the phone whith keyboard open, the screensaver seems not to start.
anyone knows how to change / revert this ?

Pictures taken in landscape mode but come out in portrait??

I took some photo's on the HTC Touch Pro/XDA Serra in landscape format and when i flick through the photos in Pictures & Videos tab in TF3D, some of the pictures come out in portrait format (rotated 90 degrees). This makes viewing the pictures on the phone difficult as everytime i rotate the phone to view the image, the accelorometer auto rotates it another 90 degrees. I have to tilt my head to see the image and try not to rotate the phone.
So annoying! Anyone get this problem on their phone.
Is there something out there where you can manually rotate the photo's which have come out in the wrong orientation?
There is a registry entry that takes care of this. I don't know what the registry key is but I do know that the Advanced Configuration program for the Raphael takes care of it. It is under the Camera section called "Encode photos in portrait mode". By default it says "yes" but you want it to say "no".
Here's a link to Advanced Config

does anyone know what is registry entry for entry for encode pictures in portrait mode?

[Q] True Full screen? (fake hardware buttons)

Hi, I haven't been able to find much information about it so... I am trying to run a game - FF IV - in full screen on my Nexus 5. Usually it runs with the soft keys on the edge, but I can get rid of them by forcing immersive mode, however the game remains the same width but is pillarboxed. I have seen videos and images of this game running on other android devices and can confirm it can run in true 16:9 so I am trying to work out a way to do that.
Is there some way to trick the app into thinking the phone has hardware keys? Or to change the default resolution of the app?
Any help would be appreciated if you know anything about thus, or even something similar to this.
Thanks!

Edit: I am using the Xposed module app settings to force immersive mode for this app(I have also tried universal immersive mode) and have experimented with the DPI settings as well, but with no success. Will keep thread updated as I try new things.
Edit 2: Well, just checked out build.prop, nothing that seemed promising other than the DPI is 480... will keep searching.
My app GMD AHSK (root) will turn on hardware buttons setting. Other than some advanced setting it is free to use:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gmd.hidesoftkeys
I don't know if it will help with FF form factor.
Thanks for the reply! The app is able to hide the soft keys but the game still refuses to remove the black bars... I am wondering if it is some profile based on phone model? Well at least we know it's not a hard key issue.
qemu.hw.mainkeys in build.prop determines whether the device has hardware keys or not, 0 means it doesn't and 1 means it does.
You can add qemu.hw.mainkeys=1 to the end of build.prop to disable soft keys however you'll have to reboot and its not practical to do just for one app lol.
Thought I'd test it anyway to see if it worked... 3 reboots later and I'm still getting the black bars! I'm starting to suspect the images may have been stretched slightly... I might test on bluestacks or AVD tomorrow. *sigh* This is bugging me more then it should
Changed pmy DPI to 160 as per this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48859146&postcount=84
However, while everything on my phone is now tiny FF IV still has black bars.
On a hunch I disabled immersive mode on the game, as in tablet mode the soft keys are down the bottom of the screen in landscape mode.
What happened was that the game resized to have larger black bars(maintaining its original form factor) due to the loss of vertical resolution due to the soft keys.
So it appears the game's resolution is set, perhaps it's only the iPhone 5 version that's 16:9? I'm going to switch back the DPI now, before the tiny text destroys my eyes. If anyone else has any ideas, let me know.
I just stop using navbar and use Pie instead

Google Play thinks my phone is a tablet [root]

Hello, I use custom port rom on my phone. Google Play Store detects my phone as a tablet and apps behave this way. For example, Spotify does not allow me to use the canvas feature for this reason. Can I manipulate this situation from system files such as Build.prop?
It doesn't matter whether Android device's type is phone or tablet: If SU-binary ( ~ 120 KB ) is present in Android OS, Android is rooted.

I guess I couldn't explain my problem. Since it appears as a tablet, the applications also change their interface and features according to the tablet. You can see this clearly from the screenshots on the store page and on the player of Spotify.
Google should understand that this is a phone. Can I do this by changing things?

Google doesn't care whether the Android device's type is a tablet or a phone.
The main difference between tablet and phone is that with a tablet its default display mode is landscape mode, that with a phone its default display mode is portrait mode. Hence it's on you to switch among these modes if necessary.

Got it, it's selected by resolution?
In this screen setting it was not supposed to be like this.
1080x2160px
6.01 "
400dp
Auto rotate: Off, vertical
So what should I do? Is this something I can fix?
Thank you for the answer.

If phone is rooted then you can set the appropriate keys in Android's system file named build.prop:
Examples:
Code:
# 0 = Landscape, 90 = Portrait, 180 = Reverse Landscape, 270 = Reverse Portrait
ro.sf.hwrotation=180
# DPI values may be any of 120,160, 320, 480 & 640
ro.sf.lcd_density=160
