I noticed that on the Xperia X an upside-down flip brings the buttons in perfect position for left-handers. Even more the volume and camera buttons would be on the upper half again, great. The Xperia has symmetric speakers and also microphones(?) on both sides. Is there an option to flip the screen, is it possible to implement?

Coderus' patch to allow any rotation for all apps: https://coderus.openrepos.net/pm2/project/uirotate-free
Works flawlessly on Xperia X 2.1.4.14.
Patchmanager 2.0 needed unless you want to implement the single line of code yourself: https://openrepos.net/content/coderus/patchmanager-20
This patch is awesome! It let me put the Xperia device upright. Great! Just wondering: I do not have big customisations on OS level and this is the only patch that my current SFOS got applied (manually). Question: Do I really need to revert this patch to update to the next OS release? Shouldn't this get managed by the underlying package management. Like, the file gets overwritten by the "new" package (if any) ...?

It should work somehow because it's supported on the tablet. Don't know though if the difference is in a configuration file or a binary.
ossi1967 ( 2018-03-31 12:39:56 +0300 )editfirst I thought whaddyaheck, but it indeed could be possible!
Indeed there are things that might be speakers on both ends, and also small holes on the end facets that might be microphones, are they????
and if there are mics in both ends, why?
