Screen orientation
Yotto:
So, what everybody has been avoiding saying is that this feature is only in iPod 4G greyscale?
Is there a technical reason why it's not in all models, or isn't part of Rockbox in general?
Llorean:
The reason it's not in Rockbox in general is because it's not actually a software feature. It makes use of the LCD controller's flip option, if I understand correctly. It's hardware dependent but requires no additional math or complication in the software, so is almost free, if I understand correctly. There's no software equivalent yet, if my memory serves.
Nate!:
Sorry I have to bring this thread back to light. ;)
Is the screen orientation feature available for other platforms? I have a Gigabeat F60. I've been looking through the feature requests all week. Glad I didn't create a new one requesting a configurable screen orientation. That would have been annoying.
Although Upside Down is cool, can we also have the screen be able to rotate right 90 degrees. (As in video mode, using the mpegplayer plugin?) Key mappings would follow the screen of course. Toshiba had this feature originally. We Gigabeat owners could then use the dominantly wicked iPod color wps's.
Should I create a new feature request or add a comment onto the Upside Down request. (Still can't find that actual feature request or patch.)
-Thanks.
Llorean:
Please read the post of mine immediately preceding yours. You generally should not post in a thread without actually reading it first.
Nate!:
I read that, and saw that you said it was a hardware dependant feature. I know the Gigabeats can rotate to the right 90 degrees because it did it originally.
I mainly posted here because it was a similiar feature and I wanted to get info about the patch or see if I needed to open a new feature request for devices that can implement screen orientation. I don't see the menu option that everyone mentioned.
I didn't want to submit a redundant feature request so I posted to this thread.
