Question [Q] Portrait orientation?

Many apps force portrait mode, and the default places the power button at the bottom. I found it too easy to hit power by bumping it against my arm or chest while reading.

Is there a way to flip the default orientation by 180°?

I'm running TnT lite.

Let's say you pay for an unlimited minutes plan, and after 200 minutes they reduce the quality so that the person on the other line is choppy and laggy. You have to repeat yourself ten times before they can finally piece together what you are saying. Then, they don't change the quality back until next month. That's the equivalent to throttling.

Honeycomb will lock in portrait mode, I use it for reading all the time. That's one of my favorite things about it

Depends which launcher you have. Vtl launcher you need to go to settings and allow 180 rotation.
Feeling overwhelmed by all these instructions meant for smarties? Well, you're in luck because I've made a Viewsonic G-Tablet For Dummies where all the instructions are dumbed down for dummies.

Apps natively have portrait mode with the soft keys on the top and the power button on the bottom

Is there a way to change that?
