Chirography

there is a button in the sidebar, one which looks like vibrate. – Bannister

Answer 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.

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

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. – Abysm

Worked on windows 10. – Feuar

Answer 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.

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

Answer 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.

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.

Answer 5

In landscape mode, the Rotate screen button does not appear (for some devices at least) and the CMD + F11 (for mac) did not work for me. I solved this with the following steps:

1. from landscape, click the Home button (go back to the home screen)

2. on home screen, press CMD + F11 (for mac)

3. relaunch the app from the genymotion emulator, this should restore the portrait mode.

Hope this helps someone.
