Forcing other orientations #233

Closed amg-12 closed 1 year ago

amg-12 commented 1 year ago

I want to run apps in reverse landscape orientation. I attempted to do this by modifying the following line in LauncherManager:

orientationLock.addOrientationLayout(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT)

I was able to force some apps into reverse portrait orientation by changing the value to SCREEN_ORIENTATION_REVERSE_PORTRAIT. However, setting the value to SCREEN_ORIENTATION_REVERSE_LANDSCAPE only forces apps into regular landscape, and not reverse landscape.

Can you please help me understand how to get this to work?

It's possible that the firmware is the issue. A lot of the irrational limitations are Samsung and OPPO designing the stock launcher with very specific plans for how it will be used.

Can you think of any other way to test whether this is possible within the firmware? (I'm using a Samsung Flip3 btw)

adb shell wm user-rotation [-d DISPLAY_ID] [free|lock] [rotation]

So reverse landscape would be wm user-rotation -d 1 lock 2

After a few tests, it seems there is no automatic rotation for the cover. That means there is something setting a similar command (likely in the build.prop or display configuration file). If you want to reset the rotation, you would need to run wm user-rotation -d 1 lock 0 because setting free has no effect.

Thank you so much for your help!! That solution works perfectly for me! 😄 I've been trying to do this for a really long time.
