Message: <blockquote data-quote="SilverBalls" data-source="post: 194995" data-attributes="member: 340">Thanks for suggesting , but that is exactly how I rotate the screen with the Acer, using software like this because the screen doesn't have a gyro/accel, etc.  The apps like you suggest basically tell Android to rotate the display and this used to work fine, the whole display was rotated just like when you turn your tablet.   Acer unfortunately now intercept these requests and show a 'faked' portrait display in landscape mode (like the screenshots in my post describing the issue).  The reason they did it was to show apps that force to portrait mode 'correctly' on the landscape screen.These large Android touchscreens are becoming more common especially as 'kitchen computers''.  They are perfect as a low cost device for people building mini virtual cab for Android games, however we just need to ability for the game to render itself rotated (this is not the Android rotation remember).  I am crossing my fingers the Ask engine can do that one day.  <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" />Edit: if you bought the Acer now it might work with the version of the OS it comes with, however you would need to make sure you never apply an update to the OS as rolling back is almost impossible.  No one has done it to date.</blockquote>
