Disable 270-Degree Screen Rotation

[Jinded]

I was wondering if there is a way to disable the 270-degree rotation introduced by Froyo. Often times when I take my phone out of my pocket and open an app, the app opens up in 270-degree landscape mode (I have my launcher set to portrait mode only, so I only notice it when using an app). I then have to kind of "force" the phone into portrait mode by shaking it downward or flipping it forward... can't really explain but I'm sure you know what I'm talking about.

Anyway, any suggestions?

Yes I know what your speaking about. Not sure if there really was a fix. Maybe its something they addressed in official Froyo.

Settings - display - auto rotate screen.

That setting disables all rotation without pulling out the keyboard. I still want to be able to use the 90-degree auto-landscape, just not the 270-degree landscape (basically how it was in Eclair).

This requires a simple edit to a system file (which requires root access, which it looks like you have), I just don't remember which one. Will take a look when I get home later today.

I found an app that provides this:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.norightrotate

But I would still prefer an edit to a system file, since that means one less service running on my phone.

I will really appreciate if you tell me what file do i have to edit in order to disable rotations

Actually the edit I was referring to earlier no longer works in Froyo (found this out the hard way) - when I used it I was on Eclair. Have you tried the app linked in the post above yours?

what is the edit? i might switch to another ROM that enables this 270 degree, but def. will want to disable it

 

[ragnarokx]

What ROM/version# are you talking about?

 

[slatis]

Right now im using Android 2.1 Eclair, so i think i still can edit that file

syndicate frozen has the 270 degree rotate
but I am now considering baked snack 2.1

Both of those ROMs are Froyo, so rag's edit wouldn't work. I suggest the app I linked to earlier, it's working pretty well for me.

If you search for "autorotation control" you should be able to find it... but here's the apk.

ah ok, haven't really looked at the details of those ROMs...will use your app...thanks
