[Q] Swap default landscape mode - General Questions and Answers

Hi I have the Xperia Z1 and I'm wondering if There's any way (app, xposed module, etc) of make the reverse landscape mode the reverse mode by default. Let me explain myself, when im playing Games like NFSMW I use headphones and it's uncomfortable to hold the device while the headphone jack it's connected, the problem it's that in some games the rotation it's locked so i can't play with the device rotated. I tried apps like rotation locker and Ultimate rotation control but the problem is that with these apps when the screen it's forced to rotate the gyroscope stays intact making the car (NFSMW) turn the opposite way. So I realized that the only way of play this correctly is either using an app that swap the gyroscope (which I didn't find) or better a trick to make the device think that the reverse landscape mode is the default landscape mode.
Thanks in advance.

Disable the motion sensor/accelerometer?

Is this possible to disable? I freaking hate it, it's annoying and a pointless feature of the phone.
Um don't use apps that use it? Lol?
Use Advanced Config? Diamond Tweak? EtC?
I can't find anything in the Advanced Config to disable it. But programs like opera if I tilt the phone a little it changes orientation when I don't want it to. And it' annoying.
disable acceleromoter in Opera
I would also like to know how to diable the accelerometer in Opera.
The acceleromoter works in Opera 9.5, didn't work in 9.65, and now it works with 9.7... and I also hate it.
A solution would be much appreciated. I am surprised no one has figured this out yet...
HKLM\Software\Opera\GSensor\IdleTime set to very large number. It is the time in milliseconds to wait after the phone changes orientation before it rotates the screen.
Better than increasing the idle time, which will still eventually rotate the screen, is to use an application like Gyrator 2 http://gyrator.brins0.net/ to limit auto-rotation to apps that you actually want to rotate. It works very well at giving you great control over what your motion sensors do.

If you set the idle time to an incredibly high number, it will for all purposes never rotate the screen. If you tilt it sideways then back to portrait, it will cancel the countup to the idle time. It won't later rotate the screen. It will only rotate the screen if it has been tilted for that amount of time.
Why install another program? Anyways, what other programs auto rotate other than opera?
I have been trying naptime forcedoze and greenify combinations for optimum doze settings. recently naptime updated the app into agressive doze mode. so its constantly seeks motion, resulting in high battery usage in deep doze sequences.
On the other hand, I couldn't achieve disabling motion sensing in any of those app for my non-root device. I am now using greenify and forcedoze. It is optimal but about motion sensing.
You can manualy interfere with doze constants by adb commands, but PhenotypeConfigurator peridocally resets all doze constant parameters.
So i have no solution atm. Any advice for non-root devices motion sensing issue would be deeply appreciated...

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] How to Rotate HDMI Output?

Image for starters: http://i.imgur.com/B7yeVcP.jpg
I'm trying to display a Galaxy S4 (GT-i9500) on this computer monitor that I'm turning in to a "smart mirror".
I want the monitor in portrait mode. I need a way to have the phone output portrait mode sideways so that it fills the screen. Landscape fills the screen fine.
There are no settings in the monitor.
No rotation control apps will have any effect on this. They seem unrelated. Example, landscape/reverse landscape are the same exact thing on the TV. Same story on portrait.
Thanks for reading!
Did you ever find a solution. I'm having a similar dilemma with a computer setup I'm building. Looks like a cool project.

Auto-roate not working sometimes

the auto rotate function stop work after long sleep like 12-18 hours not use, it can be fix by restart or it can rotate the screen by using landscape or portrait only app. Like it was in landscape mode if i want to rotate the screen i need to open some app which is portrait only , after it rotate i can exit the app then the screen will keep in portrait mode.
I want to know a fix for this problem. It's really annoying when u surf on web or wanted to rotate the screen in youtube.
Hi. Try "set orientation" app by Eyes-Free Project. Only 111 ko. I use it.

True portrait mode in external monitor with screen mirroring??

I recently bought a touchscreen monitor but it does not have a gravity sensor. When you do screen mirroring, it just puts portrait mode in the centre of the screen but still in landscape orientation like it would with a TV. I downloaded an app called SecondScreen and gave it permissions but it still just does the same thing. I read that someone managed to make it work part way but the touchscreen aspect was still in landscape while the image was true portrait.
It seems insane that you can't make screen mirroring do true mirroring. (ie. Portrait mode longitudinal on external screen). DEX has no option for portrait so I am kind of feeling like I might need to return my external monitor. Has anyone found a solution to allow proper portrait mode on an external monitor with android?
Return the monitor.
Found any solution? Even with my rooted device and these settings it won't work.
The monitor cannot be returned.
