Does auto rotation work in the latest update???

[rirawin]

Can anyone let me know please?.

I think so. Before I tried to install, I was searching for some info's on youtube, and I saw a video ( brazillian channel, Tecmundo, Video link ) where they tested on a fiew notebooks, one has a gyroscope sensor, and it worked.
Okay, the video is about the Android 86x, not the Remix OS itself. But it might work... there are two options to enable/disable the rotating screen ( "Screen" and "Acessibility" settings). But your device need to have the sensor.

Anyway, its an alpha release. We need to test everything for them. Try it and tell us, including your device model!

Transformer Book T200TA, no rotation!

Using any APK in PlayStore does not assist in the task either... must me hard-coded to landscape?
PhoenixOS will allow it though as auto-detect (if Gyro detected) or even through software if not detected otherwise...

Thinkpad 8, no rotation!
But i install android-x86 6.0.1 r10 it working

Rotation will never work on laptop that does not support from windows it as it does not have a sensor built in.

Autorotation works in the Alpha and the Beta as long as your sensor is supported - download a sensor app like Z - device test and check the accelerometer.

The 'issue' is that by default landscape is forced as the typical device is expected to be a PC that a doesn't typically/easily rotate. As it is forced, rotation apps that try and change it won't work. There is a property in build.prop that can change this, so that RemixOS performs more touchscreen tablet like than PC/laptop, ro.remixos.box=true.

I've mentioned that and other prop in this thread.

I also have Tincore keymapper working I believe, but haven't too much experience in it's use so can't say much on it - I'll detail the procedure in due course...

No rotation on Asus VivoTab 8 M81C (or GPS or Bluetooth)

Rotation will never work on laptop that does not support from windows it as it does not have a sensor built in.

The above mentioned laptops do in fact have accelerometers to change screen orientation in windows.


I have a Surface Pro 3 that suffers from no rotation in Remix as well. Hopefully in future builds it's resolved, it would be a matter of including the hardware support for a few different accelerometers in the build.

Hi friend, please tell me how you got?

I changed the build.prop as suggested but it didnt work, although it unlocked some additional settings. I downloaded the z-device test app and saw that the accelerometer was working but the gyroscope was not. Could it be that the os is looking for gyro data and not the accelerometer data, and if so, is there a way to point the os to the right sensor?

I've set
ro.remixos.box=false
in build.prop
and turned off "always keep apps in landscape mode" in experimental settings.
After that autorotation started working on my Samsung XE700T.
Launcher doesn't seem to work correctly with this feature, app icons mess every time orientation is changed.

Still trying to get auto rotation working on the surface pro 2. I tried changing settings in build.prop, but no luck there. Anyone have a suggestion?

I had success on the latest marshmallow release using the Rotation Control app from the Play Store. The ro.remixos.box prop setting was already false so I just had to turn the setting to "Always keep apps in landscape mode" off to allow portrait before using Rotation Control. (At least I think I had to adjust that setting first. It's under Remix OS Options in the Settings menu if you're having trouble finding it). Rotation Control basically just allows me to force portrait mode, which is better than nothing I guess. I'm not sure how one would go about getting auto-rotation to work. I'm using a Surface Pro 3. While Z-Device Test does indicate that there is both an accelerometer and gyroscope, they don't register any activity; so I wonder if support for those sensors is just poor or something.

thank you so much . I have been looking for solutions for many ddays to activate screen rotation on my dell 5378 with touch screen. That app is perfect:good:

Sine there are no accelerometers on a laptop, is there a way to do it manually?
