I think this is related to how the tablet thinks its default orientation is. The Tab 2 7.0's default orientation should be portrait (according to the Samsung logo), but the OS thinks the default orientation is landscape, which is correct for the 10.1's, but not for the 7.0's.

How to fix the position of the screen at 180 Degress?

I like it more like Landscape than portrait... is there a program or something that does this?
Thanks in advance
Maybe with a custom kernel, who knows. Reason I'm replying is you should edit the subject to say 90 degrees, not 180. 180 degrees would be all the way upside down with the buttons at the top.

How to limit Auto Rotate to 90° and 180° only

So I know CM7 can do it but unfortunately there is no CM7 for my device. Is there any app or any root file edits to limit so auto rotate just stays upright and then goes 180 degrees?
Im sick and tired of it going upside down and the other way when I barley turn the screen.
Afaik that setting in AOSP ROMs is stored in a .dex file, so unless you have the environment to edit that I do not know of another way. At least that is what I recall when Froyo added landscape right orientation.

Auto rotate screen not working; ideas?

My TF101 (running Prime 2.1.1) has been acting strange since yesterday (when I first noticed it). The screen orientation will not auto adjust if I move the tablet, e.g. from holding landscape in two hands to holding it on it's side, it stays in landscape. If I run an app that lacks orientation support or fakes it, I may end up with my tablet locked into portrait mode! Rebooting doesn't impact anything.
Toggling the Screen->Auto Rotate setting in the settings app (NOT the quick controls) will give me the correct orientation most of the time. Docking will (so far) always get my back to landscape. So for the most part, I have no auto-rotate and running a protrait apps can lock my screen rotation to portrait. Docking is the only reliable thing so far...
Possible abuses:
-> I usually put my dock and tablet in my backpack but "Undocked", and stow the pack on my cars floor board, it doesn't get bounced around but maybe payback for leaving it undocked?
-> For the past couple weeks I've been using the quick control to lock the screen so I can display stuff upside down; e.g. to use landscape in bed, while charging.
but other wise it's pretty well taken care of, better than most peoples PC's. When I boot, it is usually laying flat on a desk or docked.
Personally, I use my tablet i landscape whenever an app doesn't force me to do otherwise....but I'm concerned about hardware failure in the sensor. Being root+Prime, I'd rather not RMA if possible.
Does anyone have any advice or ideas about this?

I found this app can do all orientations.
Orientation Control
Unsure what is causing your problem, however.
Good luck!

In settings/screen is auto-rotate screen ticked.

I will have to test that app as a manual fix, and yes the auto rotate is checked; i believe the locking when apps force portrait still occurs when it is unchecked though.

[Q] Screen Orientation configuration

Hi all,
I have an Emgeton 7 inch tablet for which I'm trying out some different ICS ROMs on. The best ROM I have found so far has one issue:
The screen orientation is 90 degrees out. The accelerometer actually works but it is set to 90 degrees "ahead"
How and where is the default settings for the accelerometer set and is it possible to change it without a re-compile?
Would I be able to use anything from the stock ICS firmware to fix it?
Thanks in advance.

Tablet boot animation tip

If you want to use a boot animation from say an app or one just designed for a specific phone you can change the orientation of the animation in build.prop by editing the ro.bootanim.rotation scaled in degrees
:thumbup:
Edit: ro.bootanimation.rotation
Mine started in landscape at 90 switched to 45 for upright.
