Rotate Screen 180 degrees?

[Guest OwenRW]

Is there an app that will let me rotate the screen 180 degrees?

After looking at my Vega upside down, having left it it flat on the table, I have discovered that the viewing angle is x100 better upside down.

As there are no built in options and a quick look on the market turned up nothing, does anyone know if there are any options to flip the screen 180 degrees.

As an aside, when I first powered it on when I first got it, the screen was upside down, and then after Android reached the launcher for the first time it flipped to being 'correct'.

Edit: Just noticed this thread http://android.modaco.com/content/advent-v...-viewing-angle/ so other people agree about the viewing angle.

Just use a launcher that supports it better than the standard. Launcher pro is good it does full rotation on all screens and apps will check the orientation or just use one orientation anyway. So need to flip it permanently just use something that is more flexible.

This is true, however it was more for when I have it flat.

Also the built in 'movies' doesn't rotate.

OwenRW, I completely agree with you and had the exact same problem myself. When the Vega is lying flat and upside down, its screen is brighter, but still clear and readable. Turn it 180 (i.e. to the default angle) and the colors invert. So, here's my solution...

To use the Vega in any orientation all the time:

Install and use (make default when asked) a third party launcher (e.g. ADW Launcher) and video player (e.g. mVideoPlayer). Most video players have an Orientation option in their settings. Make sure it's set to the one other than Landscape and Portrait (usually Automatic).
