Disable Auto Rotate?

[SamE]

I have tried searching for this but not been able to find anything, so sorry if it is already covered elsewhere.

Does anyone know how to disable the auto rotation of the screen that happens when you go from laptop to tablet mode?

Thanks in advance

It has been asked before, and I know how to do it, but I have to get a little time to write the app. It's quite an easy app to write, just time is unavailable to me :( I need a time turner.

I would have thought with your 1337 5k1llz you would have at the very least had your own TARDIS lol

Nice to see Pratchett references popping up all over the place =)

I thought I saw something here about an app that was already created, except that it made the Universal totally ignore any lid motion, so closing the lid would not put it to sleep. I can't remember what thread I saw it in... I thought it was Vijay who did it, too. Hmm.

do you really have to go through all the trouble to write a program for it or is there a simple reg hack to take care of this?

[vijay555]

There's a little of both. It's a driver hack, but combined with some registry.
I wrote the other program also, can't remember what it was called now, for maintaining control and enabling the Universal's external keys, but it had a limited release of 1 guy trying it.

Then I got distracted for 6 months, having a baby :(

Any update on this? I would like the auto rotate to still rotate but into landscape mode the other way up, as opposed to portrait mode, if you see what I mean :)

Hi Vijay555,
Any luck finding the program?

Would really appreciate it mate.

just in install vijaylumix 2. click on enable extra brightness than switch power off. After that autobrightness will be disabled and screen orientation will not go automatically :D works just fine hehe

Thanks a lot !!! Works a treat. :)

The camera does not work once vijaylumix 2 is started :-(
So back to the drawing board.
Actually isn't there a program that sets selected programs to start in either landscape or potrait view?

Try re-launching VJLumos I/II/III to disable.
vijaylumix? Dude, what kinda weird sounding pseudo-romantic idiom is that?

VJUzumaki has been re-written. The nega/positive side effect of VJLumos is unexpected but useful. But VJUzumaki will disable rotation and provide a whole shebang loud of new features.. coming soon.

Sorry mate should be 'VJLumos II' and not 'vijaylumix 2.'

Looking forward to VJUzumakimix....only kidding VJ. When is VJUzumaki due?

Respect & seasonal greets.

umm, if I recal you can remove the magnet from inside the casing, that makes the screen auto rotate

[vijay555]

I'm working on bells and whistles (ie features!) for VJUzumaki, so hopefully shortly into the new year.

what is the status of VJUzumaki, or has there been an alternate fix found for this problem?

Thanks
