Hello again and thanks to both hrimbtz and jodybrown99 who pointed me to apps to rotate the screen as I want it.
I guess there really IS an app for everything. Anyone know of one that spits money out of an Android device?
I don't see in the specs for the Pine A64 any "orientation sensor" that would work in conjunction with the app to auto-rotate the screen as its physical orientation changes. Do I understand correctly? The app I downloaded is supposed to have an auto-rotate setting so the screen would flip to portrait or landscape or reverse portrait or reverse landscape as I change the orientation of my Pine in the Playbox enclosure. But if the sensor existed in the Pine, then I wouldn't need the app, the Android OS would just rotate the screen on its own, isn't that right? And the auto-rotate setting in the app I downloaded doesn't actually auto rotate as I move my Pine. jodybrown99, does your Pine's LCD screen actually rotate when you don't want it to (presumably by changing the physical orientation of the Pine) if you turn off the "lock screen setting"
But my main issue is solved. I can use my Pine in reverse landscape mode thanks to the app I downloaded.
Thanks again to hrimbtz and jodybrown99. I had no idea such apps existed.
