I know the TB wasnt meant to be displayed landscape in the home screen.. so.. with that being said when I get Handcent sms popups I cant reply in landscape keyboard when I rotate the phone.
Has anyone figured out the quick reply for popup in landscape mode?

I think that only happens when the phone was locked. If you keep the screen active and get a pop-up, that one will landscape.
Would definitely be nice if it would just autorotate every time i flipped the phone.. hmm
Root and update to a rom with landscape Rosie. Handcent will rotate into landscape on the home screen, then. If you don't want to root, switch to another launcher like Launcher Pro that has landscape support.
Works for me any way I try it. Phone locked with screen off, phone locked with screen on, at the home screen, etc. All methods work over here. If it helps, I'm using the Gingerbread keyboard.
Under notification settings/popup settings there is an "auto-rotate" option. Check if that works for you.

Is anyone else having problems with wallpaper on Launcher Pro? Using the default launcher, the wallpaper scales down to the size I set. Launcher Pro keeps it HUGE and cannot be adjusted no matter what the resolution is.
Am I doing something wrong?
I have the same problem, it happens basically with any launcher that is non stock. theres apps that can fix the problem, but seems like a quirk that we're stuck with

So I was having the same problem and figured out what causes it, and a way to generally avoid it.
what seems to be causing it: Allowing home screen rotation. It appears that as soon as you rotate, Launcher pro resizes the wp to that pixelated mess, and will not revert it back once returning to portrait. I've had it happen also while going to the home screen while having the browser in landscape
to prevent: from home screen click menu / preferences / behavior settings / -> and make sure "enable auto rotation" is unchecked. (don't worry you can still rotate in apps by activating the rotation setting in the notification bar, unchecking that box just prevents the home screen rotation)
to fix your current messed up wallpaper: click menu / settings / applications / manage applications / -> click launcher pro / click clear defaults.
this will allow you to activate touchwiz again. So hit the home screen button and select TW to complete that action. after it's done try setting your wp again. Go ahead and reset launcher pro as your default now and your wp should still look good. You should now be able to crop new wp's and have them look fine too.
you shouldnt have to do this again
all set!
That did the trick. Thanks!
I tried that but it didn't work on my evo 3d
there is another work around
open the pic you want to use
rotate your phone to landscape mode
set your wallpaper using the landscape square, not the narrow one. Let it finish.
rotate your phone back to normal
your WP should now not be that pixelated mess
I like the way the iPhone's rotate in a sense that when you go from landscape to portrait and vice versa, it doesn't make the screen disappear. You can actually see the screen rotate. I'm not sure if I have explained myself correctly, but how can I get my CM7 Sensation to do that anyway?
i dont have any such app...but i got your question correctly... u r looking for a screen rotation animation kind of thing..from portrait to lanscape and vice versa...
in settings you can change your screen animation to always or something of the sort. Make sure you have that ticked. If that does not do what you want.. then you may have to go join the apple cult for that awesome screen animation
Screen rotation animation is only available on sense 3.5 roms. Try them, its exactly what you are looking for (Portrait <=> Landscape)
Haven't seen it on any other rom YET. I'm not sure if it can be ported or not
I have the official stock ICS 4.0.4 and my keyboard does not switch to fullscreen mode when i rotate the phone into landscape. Instead i keep seeing the website and textarea i am typing in (for example in a forum). Before 4.0.4 i was on 2.3.6 and it worked as it should.
I tried the default android keyboard and SmartKeyboard Pro. I also tried changing the settings for going/not going into fullscreen for both landscape and portrait. These settings have no effect whatsoever, even when i set it to go fullscreen in portrait mode it doesnt do it.
Please help!
I love the tablet and am fine with the stock launcher and everything, but I'm having issues setting a good wallpaper.
The one I want to use looks great if I align the top-right corner of it to the top right of the display, both in portrait and landscape mode. However, if I try to set it to that in either mode, it seems to crop the image to fit just that mode and when I rotate the display it keeps the image's new center point and just scales it up to keep the screen filled, cutting off the wrong edges and looking terrible.
Is there any way to fix this? Am I stuck trying to use a 3rd-party launcher if I want to use this wallpaper?
Thanks
