MK808-how to enable the screen rotation

[mkcool]

Hello,

I have just found a problem. I have an app, the screen should be set to the portrait orientation, but it won´t work in the ROM. I have tried the latest MK808 JB 4.2.2 - Finless ROM 2.0, but it it doesn't work either. Has someone an idea to solve the problem?

Which app?

[mkcool]

All the apps that need screen rotation.

In my ROMs you can force a rotation using build.prop
ro.fs.rotation=

However auto rotation is disabled in ALL TV ROMs to keep apps from rotating! People do not want a rotated screen on a TV!

It can be enabled though via code changes.

Just trying to figure out which apps look better in portrait on the TV...? I have an app that will ONLY do portrait on my tablets, but shows properly in landscape on the 808B.

BBC Radio is an example of an app where important controls are offscreen in ladscape mode https://play.google.com/store/apps/d....apps.bbcRadio

Hello Bob,

I have added it to the build.prop but it still dosen´t work. Did I miss something?

Me too would enable the auto-rotate for some applications. (ex VideoMediaset italy app)
On my Nexus 7, the application starts in portrait, but when I select the fullscreen, remaining in landscape, the video looks good and is optimized for the landscape.
Sull'MK808B is set with ro.fs.hwrotation = 270 and fakerotatione = true.
The application starts in landscape (but is not suitable for landscape) so it is enlarged and you can not scroll down to select the fullscreen video.
I tried to rotate 0,90,180,270: D and fakerotation = true and false, all combinations, but without a good result.

Is there a way to keep the MK808 as a Tablet giving the opportunity to start in portrait for some applications?
But most important thing is there a way to run the various applications that are on Playstore for the rotation (and forcing)?

Sorry for my bad English: D

[mkcool]

I solved the problem. What we should change in the build.prop is not ro.fs.rotation= but ro.fs.hwrotation=.

[Mandrake2]

it is not ro.fs.rotation, it is Always hwrotation in build.prop, but you can only rotate in landscape or portrait. We have need .jar modified in framework for enable true rotation.

I read (I hope not to have misunderstood) that the stock rom dell'MK908 4.1.1 it is possible to use the app from playstore for rotation.
Is there a way to import the rom sull'MK808B? or compare the framework to enable the rotation (on request)?
