Hello, I have a Android 2.2 tablet and I suspect the screen is installed (by design) "upside down". The tablet has a G-Sensor and the screen rotates exactly as it should, but some applications that default to portrait mode (Nook, Sketchbook Mobile Pro, etc) get locked into what would be "upside down" on the tablet.
Is there any way to hack the internals of the tablet to get it to consider the opposite direction to be portrait mode, instead if the current way? I could see this being a setting in a config file, or I could imagine its compiled in, which would be problematic.
I do have root access and I'm comfortable with adb, I just need to know where to look.
When i plug in my transformer into my tv how do i change the size of the screen? The home buttons are cut off so its impossible to use it with my bluetooth keyboard and mouse
Sent from my revolver!
you can't as far as I know of. oh, and did you know that many buttons on the keyboard and mouse can replace the android ones
for example:
both right clicking the mouse and pressing escape on the keyboard count as a back key
the "windows" or super button on your keyboard (or control on an apple keyboard, I think) will bring you back home
as for the menu button, I remember it being somewhere on the keyboard, but I don't remember where right now (if I find out, I'll update you on it)
as far as other things such as the clock and battery, you might be better off getting a longer hdmi cord and proping up the transformer on a table somewhere in sight so you can read the battery gauge and time from that. otherwise, good luck with your setup
(try control, alt, or any one of the function keys and then try insert because I am like 90% sure it's one of those)
This is not something you can change on the transformer, but on your tv there should be adjustments that you can make to fit the image. For instance on an LG that i have in my room there is an option to change the aspect ratio of the display, and one of those is to manually adjust it. Same thing on the Samsungs we've got also.

Hi guys
Appreciate your work
I have CNM Touchpad II (special maplin UK Work - RK2818 chip ;/)
Installed CM7 MOD instead of it's original 2.1 (poor version) but have two problems - screen orientation (it flips not proper - instead landscape it flips upside down etc.) and don't have USB Host mode for for ex. USB Keyboard. I've wanted to update from zip with night...something update but i can't cause recovery mode navigation needs volume buttons (up-down) -and this tablet don't have those... have only esc/menu/trackball - menu is accept but other buttons do not react have any idea what to do ? This ROM i have is allright - just need USB Host and proper screen orientation...
hello again,
I've already done everything. Maybe similar things are somewhere here on XDA forum, but if somebody needs help with ROM changing on RK2818 Tablets just give PM or post here - maybe I can help ! cheers
I'm surprised to learn that we must keep our eyes on the tablet while clumsily tapping even when the tablet is connected to a big display.
Instead of plugging a mouse into the touchpad (I guess that's the current workaround), why not turn the tablet into a touchpad when mirroring the display of the tablet on a large screen? With that setup, the tablet display wouldn't actually be mirrored, the big display would look like a desktop computer display with a pointer floating around on it. Also, the virtual touchpad on the tablet could be resizable so that you could simultaneously show a virtual keyboard (neither of which would show on the big display). Or there could be a spot on the tablet display tapped to switch between virtual keyboard and touchpad. Again, neither showing up on the big display.
Let me know if I'm not being clear enough. This has nothing to do with simply mirroring the tablet display to a monitor/TV, I know that can be done through MHL and HDMI stuff. Also, it has nothing to do with using the tablet as a touchpad for another computer. The only components are the tablet and the big display (monitor or TV).
And of course if it's already been done, please let me know.
The simplest of implementations...
The big display would mirror the tablet display. The tablet would show a tiny pointer. How small doesn't matter because you won't be looking at the tablet. The pointer location would correspond to the current pointer location as shown by "developer options" on anAndroid. That pointer would be driven by touch. That should be easy enough, the only difference is that a relative pointer position would be used instead of current finger point position.
Apparently 99% of the programming for this stuff is already done on Android tablets. Probably also on iPads or whatever. It would just need a GUI switch and to make a few tiny adjustments when connected to a monitor.

Anybody connect their tablet to a large monitor? Enjoy fumbling around on the tablet when you could be using precise pointer control? Think this might help for stuff like browsing?
Anybody?
Hi guys,
I have a GT-N5110 and I'd like to get an external keyboard for it..
Here is what I'm looking for:
- Nicely spaced keys (I definitely DON'T want one of those super small keyboard with soft keys)
- Minimum latency between keystrokes and what I see on the tablet's screen
- Preferably with a mousepad or a usb port that can handle a mouse
- Support to place the tablet horizontally
- I want to be able to use it anywhere so no keyboards that rely on 3G (if there is such a thing hehe)
I like the Sharkk Bluetooth keyboard. It is backlit, which I feel is a necessity (the choice of colors is a bit OTT however). Unfortunately it looks like Sharkk has gotten out of the keyboard business. https://www.amazon.com/SHARKK-Bluetooth-Ultra-Slim-Back-Light-Backlights/dp/B00E1HIVG8
