Android + Rotation = Hall of Mirrors

Posted in Applications at 10:10 am by Jonathan Greene

side effect of hacking your tablet too much

Just tried to rotate my screen to see an iphone web app and … whoa. I found the menu’s were in order over on the left side, but I had to “use the force” to figure out where to click to get things restored.

Assuming you have a kernel which supports rotation, how exactly do you rotate the screen? I read something about pressing the power button? (I’m on a N810 btw).

You need to mod the kernel, but it’s quite easy actually — http://www.internettablettalk.com/wiki/index.php?title=How_To:_Enable_screen_rotation_in_Diablo
