How to change GENYMOTION screen orientation?

Question

Is it possible to change the orientation of the genymotion emulator? Is there a shotcut or setting to change this?

I've tried to google it but have not find it. Any suggestion would be appreciated,thank you.

Solution 1

Two ways :

• Button in the sidebar
• CTRL + F11

Edit : And if it does not work, it's surely because the application in foreground is orientation locked.

Solution 2

When device rotates after pressing vibration-like icon, this icon disappears preventing the device from rotating back from landscape to portrait. My solution for this is:

1. Open genymotion shell and
2. type rotation setangle 180 (user guide documentation)

This will return device again to landscape. I just tried it.

Solution 3

It seems on Mac it is in the latest version CMD + F11 and not CTRL + F11, although it is documented to be the last one.

Solution 4

Just do the following,

1. navigate to Settings -> Configuration -> Custom
2. change from ex: 800x1280 to 1280x800
3. reset

hope this helps.

Solution 5

Maybe you can just go to the :

Settings >> Display

And uncheck the "auto-rotate" option.It will turn back it's initial rotation.

Hope it helps.

It seems that this doesn't work when you are in the home screen but works when you open an app.

There is actually a menu button at the bottom of the list of buttons that contains the "Rotate Screen" button.

True - on Mac it's Cmd+F11. However, there seems to be a bug where emulator window orientation is not in sync with android's orientation. Not sure how to reach this state, but I've managed to 'fix' it by restarting the emulator.
