App in tablet mode - Samsung Galaxy Fold Questions & Answers

Hello, i've changed the dpi setting (671 dpi) in my fold to have the apps in tablet mode but many of them are opened random in various modes (phone or tablet or something in the middle)
Youtube for example changes each time when closed and reopened.
Have you got any suggestion?
Thank you and bye

[Q] Screen Rotation whilst in App

Hi Guys,
I've sideloaded a media app on my AFTV but on start up and navigation it's fixed in portrait mode.
Once I select a to play a video, it stays in portrait mode. On a normal android device, you'd simply tilt and it would play fullscreen.
I've sideloaded a bunch of Roation Apps (Rotate Screen Orientation, Ultimate Rotation Control...) and tried to force it in landscape rotation (and tried auto-rotation if available) but I believe as the app only starts in portrait mode, it cancels out the landscape function from these apps.
Is there any way of creating a hot key (i've a k400r keyboard attached) to rotate to landscape on command or any other solution?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I'm not close to my AFTV or Ouya, but there is a XPosed module that allows you to alter any app properties. I think it's called "App Settings", you would need XPosed and the said module. That should force the app in landscape mode every time, without a key.

Split UI in Landscape

Hi all,
I wanna have my G3 use a two-pane layout whenever possible, in landscape mode. The way the Nexus 7 does it - flip to horizontal, you have 2 panes. Back to portrait - you have the regular phone UI with 1 pane etc.
I was wondering how to achieve this.
My phone's rooted and has Xposed installed, I tried App Settings and changed the DPI for some apps but the fonts just become tiny and unreadable at lower DPIs, and still I get no tablet mode in landscape nor portrait.
I tried a module called Phab7 but it didn't quite work.
Thanks!

Fire tv Switch to portrait/landscape mode in some apps?

Hi all, i seem to be having a problem with some apps (meetme and twc tv apps) switching to Portrait/landscape mode and making the screen resolution wrong (too stretched out) this has only started happening since the 5.2.6.0 Update. My question is, was that some new setting added to change this or disable it some how?
try using this free app from playstore it will stop anything rotating

Daydream VR - Samsung A7 (2017)

Hi all,
I like to share my experience using Daydream VR on the unsupported Samsung A7 (2017). After following steps to root and add lines of code to the hardware XML file to enable Daydream to work, I find an odd behavior with Daydream app and any Google VR apps like street view. The double stereoscopic images open and are displayed momentarily but freezes. At first, I thought this was a total failure and the reason why the phone is incompatible or not supported for Daydream VR. However, by chance, I swiped down to reveal the the top status bar whilst in the stereoscopic landscape mode and the daydream controller and the VR view came to life and worked for as along as the status bar is revealed. I turned on the VR develop mode to check framerates and with overlays on in VR mode it didn't freeze. Frame rate was around 60 dipping sometimes to 50 on the start screen.
This is a small market for people trying VR and was wondering if anyone has experienced the same and also know of a fix or workaround to this problem. I don't believe the issue is a software type rather than hardware but I'm no expert! I've read a few topics regarding 'Immersive' mode but found nothing specific to this experience.
Thanks for reading and your input if you have any.
Update.
I've stumbled upon a work around. The Samsung phone comes with an app called Game Launcher. This places a small, movable red button overlaid onto the game when it switches to full screen. Pressing it opens a popup menu for in-game screen shots and to start video recording of the game in full screen. Anyway, I am digressing. Launching the Google Daydream app via the Samsung Game Launcher prevents the stereoscopic view from freezing. There's some jitter on black divider between the two views but other than that, the app runs and the controller works smoothly. Thought I'd share this info. Tested only with A7 (2017), rooted and stock rom 7.0.

Set Orientation to Portrait Mode

Hi everyone,
for the last days i´ve been trying to set my Fire TV Stick Gen. 2 (Root) Orientation to portrait mode.
The things i´ve tried:
- Set Orientation App
- Orientation Manager App
- Build.prop: ro.sf.hwrotation
I am out of ideas how to change it.....
We want to use the Fire TV Stick as a lyrics sheet for our live band.
Would be great if someone has a idea how to set it to portrait mode.
Thank you very much! Have a great day
Sandro
