I have searched a lot for this, but have been unable to find much info. Does anyone know what it would take to enable Auto rotate for the lock screen? I have tried several builds and themes and many auto rotate the home screen, but none that I have found auto rotate the lock screen. My issue with this is I keep my g1 on my desk with the screen up, and I like to keep it in landscape because it fits better when I plug it in. The problem is that every time the screen locks it goes back to portrait when I wake it up again. Then I have to pick it up so that it will go back to landscape. If anyone has any insight on a solution please share. I hope the reason I haven't found any threads about isn't because it is just a check box in the settings somewhere. Well actually I hope it is, but I would still feel dumb.
If this thread isn't appropriate for this section let me know and I will delete it. Just on a side note, is there anyway we could get more appropriate post icons for the forum? Maybe an icon for a post that contains a rom, one that contains a theme, one for a general development question, etc. It just seems kind of silly to use a smiley face or a thumbs up/down here.
how bout using one of them home apps in the market.. i remember either open home or ahome kept gettin on my nerves about what u are talkin about
Dxtop is my fave and did what ask on every but the. Ion build . God I hated it cause when u take it out of your pocket the phone would be in the the process of flipping oriantation and on some of the buggyer builds this would lag horribly (yes my spelling sucks)

I use aHome on the Ion Rom right now. aHome seems to have no effect on the lock screen though. If my G1 wasn't lying on its back it wouldn't be a big deal, but for some reason every time it locks it reverts to portrait. I just wish there was a way to make it not default like that. Its not a big deal, I wouldn't go back to RC33 to get the feature back, but it is a little annoying.

Are you saying that dxTop will auto rotate the lock screen on non Ion builds? I would definitely switch to cyanogen's rom if that's the case.

To my knowledge None auto rotate the "lock screen". I believe that the above posts are not reading your post correctly seeing how they are talking about Ahome and OpenHome home replacements.

i agree, ive used every home replacement out there, none of them do anything to the lock screen, the lock screen is completely seperate. Maybe a dev could make lock screen (hopefully not like a iphone like some devs have) that would accomplish this for you. Maybe ask in the application section to see if anyone is working on such a app, and if not, you may be giving a developer who is looking to develop an app something to work on.

That's too bad. I am just surprised that this doesn't seem to bug anyone else. I just don't know enough about the inner workings of the G1 to figure this out. Is the lock screen an app or is it controlled by the launcher? I just wish I could figure out why it worked on the pre cupcake JFs, but doesn't work on any post 1.5. I don't want to cross post, but if you guys think this would be better in the Apps and Themes feel free to move it.
As a workaround, you could enable the setting that prevents it from sleeping while plugged in which will also prevent it from locking.
Well... I figured that if you had the launcher and lock screen rotate, the phone might waste battery power while you're not using just rotating on every movement... This would probably also prevent it from going into sleep mode.
Not that that's the real cause, it's just my own reasoning. (It made more sense in my head. lol)
I know that it USED to autorotate the lock screen on the earlier haykuro G builds. Or was that the early non-cupcake jf builds.... I can't remember...

well my g1 spends alot of its time either in my pocket, or in a dock, both of those are in portraite mode, thats why it hasnt bothered me, but i see why it would bother you
I suggest using Droidsans Tweak Tools from the market and checking system wide auto rotate. That is the only thing I have ever seen rotate the lock screen. That's what you're looking for.

That is what I used to use pre-cupcake on the JF builds. After cupcake that tool stopped working. Anyone know if there are any cupcake builds it works on. I tried it last week on Ion and it didn't work.
--edit 2--
DroidSans Tweak Tools v0.87
"Auto Rotation Status: Bad Version"
DroidSans doesn't seem to work with JF1.51
--edit 1--
looking into droidsans... also want this ability
--first post--
In the past two weeks I did some reflashing (JF1.51, Hero, Ion, and back to JF1.51) and have noticed the lock screen not auto-rotating while the keyboard is closed. I was sure this used to happen prior to two weeks ago (while I was on RC33 and JF1.5) but really can't be sure. You might want to ditch these newer builds for a while and go get RC33, maybe that ROM does it.
To paraphrase: I thought this was supported and over the last couple of weeks, flashing several newer ROMs, I cannot be sure anymore that auto-rotate of lock screen ever existed. Maybe RC33 has it.
I'm also interesting in having this lock-screen-rotation enabled.

Alright guys, I usually never post new threads, but I am pretty excited by what this app can do.
This app was recommended by jerrycycle and when I went to use it, I can now wake my phone up by clicking the trackball button. I am still testing this to see what the pros and cons are about it and I will report back.
You can find the app on the market and on their official site here:http://www.myflyscreen.com/
Been using this app since the first day i got my N1(actually since i had my G1 and MT3g),and never notice that,unless it came in the last update,anyway great app,used everyday and love it.Pros to the dev

I notice Flyscreen got few issue on Nexus One:

- Can simply unlock the screen by pressing the "Home" button.

Bleh, I've been looking for ANY decent way to get my agenda on the lock screen (I too was spoiled by S2U2 in this regard) and Flyscreen looks okay but you're right, Home button does go to the homescreen.
it's not a HUGE deal but seems they'd fix that.. I don't use my lock screen as a security method, although eventually I should.
My annoyance with Flyscreen is that widgets which should fit into it don't, seems a normal 4x3 Widget size won't fit, 4x2 is okay... Using Pure Calendar Widget to see my agenda. I'd prefer the phone not have TWO of these running, however...
Looked at Executive Assistant and it seemed a bit too much, plus the calendar didn't show locations, which is a big fail for me. I have meetings in random conference rooms and I gotta know where to go.
in zens slide port, the normal shortcut add button leads to faves. is it possible to do something like that? i like how the app drawer is in the middle, just makes more "sense"(get it?)
tia!
ADDON:
(my ideal setup)
honestly, id like to JUST have an app drawer. we have a hardware phone button that works in taking you to the dialer in any app your in, long press has made the add button obsolete, but ovbiously the app drawer is still needed by default.
i know i know, go to launcher, but i like sense :-D
i know how to use metamorph, so i COULD make buttons transparent, but to switch around the actions...i think will take more dev'ing than im capable of. unless someone has a hardcore article i could read on remapping.

You guys kill me. Just saw this thread, as I happen to read miscellaneous posts while eating lunch .
I've never really looked at the feasibility of re-mapping buttons for such a purpose. Given that I personally don't have a similar want/need, not sure how much "effort" I'll put into, but I'll take a peek and see what, if anything, can be done.
Personally i love the sense widgets, but hate the bottom buttons, so i use stock home. If theres also a way to change the 7 screens to 5 or 3, that would be awesome. My ideal interface is somewhere between aosp and sense.
I've actually thought about this too and think it would be really neat. App drawer in the middle, phone on the side and replace the "Add to Home" button with something more useful. I never posted anything because I didn't know if it was possible but if it is then I'd love this!

Maybe replace the Add to Home button to Settings or Internet, personally i wouldn't mind figuring out how to change them and switch the phone button to app drawer and add to home to setting and change app drawers current button to internet, then my home screen would be clear.
We've had this convoy before, though slightly different....my preferred setup would be simply replacing the "+" button's add function with a second tray containing shortcuts to your contacts.....pretty much like the people widget, but in a drawer instead of taking up one of my pages. I like having the phone button in the middle, but if some can figure out how to remap the buttons, I wouldn't mind looking in to customizing the layout and functions. Right now, I'm not even sure where to start, lol!
anything different for the "add" button would be great! never understood the need since you can just as easily long press to add
Remapping existing functions is rather easy. Trying to add a new function to a button that does something completely different, though not impossible, would take a lot more work.
Here's a quick "proof of concept" video:
http://screencast.com/t/NDdkNDBmY
I've basically just remapped the application draw and phone launcher buttons to switch. I don't show the left icon press, but it pulls up the phone. Didn't show it in the video, as I don't want to reveal any phone numbers.
There are some bugs to iron out, but if you were to eliminate the left and right buttons all together, it would be good to go now. Currently, and I just started looking at this, if you press the right button, a variable is not getting reset, and then if you press the middle button, it will take you to the shortcuts rather than the app drawer again. But, as soon as you click the 'phone' button, now mapped to the left button, the app drawer in the middle begins working again...

Hey there,
I know I'm a noob on this website, but I'm pretty regular on AndroidForums.com and I lurk on here all the time. Just wondering if there was any way that someone could add the ability to have a different keyboard in portrait than in landscape. I use Swype for portrait, but in landscape it just sucks! It would be awesome if we had the ability to have Swype in portrait and something like the stock keyboard in landscape.
Thanks to all the devs on this website, you guys are awesome! And sorry if this is in the wrong section.
i would also like to know this
I'd like the same thing, I asked a little over a month ago, but got no response.
Also, your thread will probably be moved to general. Heads up.
Would like this feature in roms to.
Just curious tho. How do I download swype? Do i have to go to their website and fill out all the beta applications? I thought it was closed.

With Tasker you can set it up so when you turn the phone on its side it brings up the input method dialog and you can pick from there. When you turn the phone back to normal it asks again. Not the perfect solution but it is quicker than doing it the long way.

Honestly, all that's eliminating is a long click/hold. Not very efficient compared to what the OP suggested. Hopefully someone will be able to get the original idea working.
Strange- For some reason I can no longer open a link in an email. I tried in gmail and in Yahoo mail with my maildroid client. When I click the screen darkens (not completely) but nothing else happens. I tried a reboot but other than that I am at a loss.
Anyone have a clue?
Yeah, it's the list chooser 3.2 bug or whatever you want to call it. All you have to do is rotate the screen and the list chooser will appear. Make sure you have rotate screen checked on in the settings.

Yes, that did it. I hadn't heard about that one. Kinda sucks. So if I choose a default action I won't have the problem?
Thanks
That's correct because it won't invoke the popup list chooser or whatever you call it. Some things that bring it up you will have to do that with if it doesn't appear.
beats me a how they can put out an update with error like that. they have field testers? Anyway, thanks for the info!
It's because were in a tablet war right now and it's who can get the best out the first. Android figures they can drop Honeycomb on us and pick up the little things along the way. Little things may seem trivial but I consider nothing trivial. It's the little things that make the whole.
Anyways, glad your back up and going.
I wanted to start a thread to share info about the new launcher Aviate. There's no shortage of threads on requesting invites, so let's not do that here.
If you have Aviate and are actively using it, come here and share.
Thanks!

**Please do not use this thread for requesting invites!**
I've been using it for a day now and I find it curiously intriguing. It's a totally fresh user experience that feels a little like Google Now to me.
Frankly, I never thought ANY launcher could pull my attention away from my custom-crafted (ok, OCD-crafted) user experience I designed using Nova Launcher. I have the same design on all of my mobile devices and it feels like part of my DNA.
Can't say yet if Aviate will be a permanent replacement for my Nova-based home, but I seem to be staying with it.
Just saw the video presentation. I'm looking foward to have a little more feedback about this app.
I liked the fact that it categarises apps and I disliked (as in google now) the fact that you must have your gps on in order to take full advantage of it. Makes a lot of sense and it's very useful but I don't like the idea of sharing my whereabouts all the time...
Been playing with it since yesterday as well on my HTC One.
Like it so far, like the idea of the activities changing during the day. Not sure how it's controled though. Today ie, I set it to Work, and when checking my phone later on, it was set on Home... don't know why.
Of course the custom side of it is quite limited, I assumed it will be better with later versions.
Haven't figured out yet how to get shortcuts to contact phone numbers implemented in Aviate.
Any ideas?
Don't have "morning" and "night time" screens. Only "home" whole day. Any solution ?

The only method I have found is to add a contact widget. Not perfect, but close.
I also haven't figured out how to save a bookmark icon to my favorites section on the home screen.
Another thing I would like to do is switch between the light and dark theme automatically based on time of day.

Thanks for the response. This is a deal-breaker for me, as I need easy access (direct-dial shortcuts) to my frequently-called contacts. I wrote to the Aviate team. I'll report back.

I was able to get an invite for aviate and loaded it up and started setting it up, when I started to wonder if this was the launcher for me. I loved the idea of chameleon launcher back when it came out, how it changed your home screen based on time of day. This seems similar in many ways. But then it dawned on me, I generally do a lot of the same things on my phone no matter where I am. That being the case, would someone like me benefit from this type of launcher?
I have uninstalled and moved on.
Not being able to do direct dial shortcuts the way I want is a deal-breaker for me.
Plus, I found that I really don't need access to different apps at different times of the day. I like always knowing where they are - all the time.
More power to those that find they like Aviate. For me, it was a swing-and-a-miss.
Hi. Just found this thread. I'm loving Aviate so far and, I'm sure the customisation will improve in future releases.
I would like more customisation of the 'spaces' (manual addition/removal etc) and better theming support. Overall, I like it a lot and in sticking with it, at least, for now!
