I have the leak #2 of the ics for my Atrix 2,running scv7. I like to use my phone at night in bed, so I turn to the side. With GB/scv5, the screen would only go to landscape both sides and portrait mode if you held the phone "regularly", but now with ICS, it flips all 4 directions. Is there anyway to disable it completely from rotating to the "top"?
Go to display in settings, and there should be some kind of option allowing you to disable 180 degree rotating. If not, then try using cm9. They have that feature.

Nope, unfortunately scv7 doesn't have the ability to disable 180 degree rotation.
Its only in scv7. I find it stupid too and theres no way to disable, Ive tried it with build.prop...
No idea why anyone would want such feature.
I agree 180 degree rotation is unnecessary cause the soft keys get trícky to use.

I meant like this, how can you disable rotation for this side only, but not for the other sides?
Never had a problem with this in scv5
Decompile framework-res.apk
Locate bools.xml in res/values
Change the line that mentions 180 degress from true to false.

I think there's a bools in there that says config_allowAllRotations or something... that might be the one you want.. if he wants to get rid of the 360 rotation.

First off this question should have been asked in the SCv7 thread and not a whole new one.
Second, I know what he is talking about, I was being sarcastic
Third, my sarcastic response could actually be helpful, if you make a conscious effort not to turn the phone upside down when using it, the problem is solved, I've been in many situations where the phone accidentally inverted while using it, I get it rightside up again and it's fixed.
Fourth, this is a feature the dev wrote into the rom which could actually be helpful in certain situations, this furthers the point that this should have been posted in the ROM's thread, because maybe, just maybe if others see it as an issue, the dev would spend his precious time to take it out.
You have no idea in what situations it gets upside down and why its annoying.
And in those situations you cant flip it to fix the problems as you described.
About posting in rom thread, I didnt open this one, so why are you telling it to me?
No worries, it was meant for the OP not you, good luck with the problem.

It shouldn't be any hardware bugs at the start when buying a expensive phone like this.
I have this on my phone too, just took it out of the box...dang this post, I was looking for it from the start.
Are people waiting on this in hopes it's a software/refresh glitch, or exchanging their phone?
I don't have a T-mobile store here in town, just a stand at the mall How do I convince them to stare at the screen long enough to notice it?

If you really want to disable them permanently, it's a one-line change in the kernel. You basically don't tell it where the light switch is .

Code:

Well damn, looks like that might not only have turned off the backlight, but also the ability to use the button. Black electrician's tape is probably an easier solution if that was your goal.
Somehow I think you still want to be able to use the buttons though.
Isn't there another line of code that tells how bright the keys can be? Is it possible to set that at 0?

Sometimes a little distraction is nice. Trust me, after you've been staring at VCO divider tables for a while, something simple like "Can you just turn off this light?" is a good way to improve productivity. I'm back in the tables again this morning, but this gives me something interesting and rewarding to do during the roughly hour and a half a full build takes.

Also its not just so "cosmetic" as you think.....the people that are on ics based roms would truely appreciate this fix due to the amount of battery life gained if those damn lights didnt stay on.
I would like to know which line this is as well. I dont need extra keys in beam. I want just the hard keys

I do agree that it would be nice. Think about it the only time the lights are on is if the screen is on, if the screen is on, chances are you are touching the screen unless you are watching a movie... there are a few roms out that don't have this problem like the beam port... Maybe compare roms and kernels? There is bound to be a solution. I hope you find your answer and sorry i wasn't trying to blast anyone.
Its all good....i watch alt of movies while sitting at the back gates waiting for the parks to empty out at Disney so i can go to work and the those lights are quite annoying in the dark watching movies lol
GOOD NEWS EVERYONE! Theres an app called screen filter on the market that does the trick by turning off the softkeys umtil you actually click them details are on my capacitive buttons thread.

Hi! I'm not sure where to put this, but I think it's an app I'm after so I'll make a try here.
Is there any way, like an app, to control the volume buttons? I change the volume accidently all the time, actually I rarely ever want to change it since this is a wifi only version and I I find the system sounds just disturbing. So turning them off completely would be nice, and I've searched for a app to do this but no luck yet.. A small widget to replace the power button sure ain't hard to find so it must be possible.
Thanks in advance!

I have no idea what you mean but there ain't a way to turn off the buttons in the settings as far as I can see. And that's my problem, I know how to change the volume without using the buttons, there's even apps for that like the one linked above. But I've not found any to turn off the buttons, preferably all the time except for when it change the media volume but it's not the end of the world if I have to do that manually in the device as well..

Well I suppose it's good to know next time how to think when posting a new thread, I use different forums all the time but I'm not used to this "is it a question, post it in Q&A no matter the topic". To me every thread should be posted in the section that best describes the subject no matter if it's a question or not but that's obviously not the case here.

Hmm, I was worried about that but since there seems to be an app for everything now I thought there might be that for this as well. I know that I'm not the only one with this problem, and besides many with me think that the buttons are turned upside down when you use the device on portrait mode like I do now. If I have it turned with camera facing to the right seen from the screen side volume up is down and if I rotate it 180 degrees I can't hold and it while typing without accidently pressing the buttons.
Actually I think the button to adjust the system sounds is useless on a wifi-only device, but that's a different story. So to get back to topic, I suppose this mod can't be done without rooting the device first?

Anyone know of an app or mod to make my phone appear off without turning it off? Perhaps a toggle that requires you to press home and power to wake the phone? My phone has to be off at work and they check it.
There might be but is it really worth it? Sounds pretty strict, I doubt they would be happy about that. Good luck I guess.

There isn't any app or mod for something that is already in the phone. All you have to do is set your phone to silent/vibrate and press the power button to put it in deep sleep mode. Also press the power button again to wake the phone. To keep from getting text at work just turn off your data. Also what the hell is with you telling me to shut the f##k up when you are asking for an app or mod for a function that comes standard in ALL cellphones. Hell a toddler can figure that out.

My other thought is how brain dead are the people checking your phone while your in a no cell zone... (Which they either do for good reason or they do just cause they don't want to deal with it.)
