Nope. Default orientation was forced to portrait in the past but was changed to "nosensor" because that uses whatever rotation your device uses. AFAICT the rotation matches the boot logo.
Returning back to portrait will make the app unoperative on landscape devices, like Android TV or chrome OS.
This has nothing to do with dealing with gyro events. That's just how the app is started.
About gyro events: they're handled automatically by the framework and we already have all the code to make it happens. See
https://github.com/koreader/android-....lua#L480-L493. All these modes work fine but just the 4 (landscape, portrait and their reversed modes) are available using the UI.
Patches welcome to make the UI more complete. In the mean time if you want to have full sensor behaviour you'll need a patch.lua with something like
Code:
local ffi = require("ffi")
local android = require("android")
local C = ffi.C
android.orientation.set(C.ASCREEN_ORIENTATION_FULL_SENSOR)
