How about... no? I can safely assume you are not using the stock launcher. Have your tried simply thing your device while on the homescreen?

alot of apps will work landscape and portrait, twitter app for example rotates 270degrees. Not the launcher though.
Car dock will put it in landscape mode.
only with the car dock. and yes i'm talking about the launcher. So if someone can make a app that tricks the phone thinking its in the car dock, it'll do landscape then.
it does do landscape while in the car dock(rotating to right and left). they also added landscape to the phone app too!
Why don't you just download Helix or LauncherPro instead of trying to force the stock launcher to glitch? lol

There is a new launcher in the market right now that im using it works great.it called launcherpro.
I would install "home switcher"also in the market. That way while you are setting up your new layout you can go back and fourth. Without being interrupted by that a default prompt.
Launcher pro has single tap of home button that brings up the leap view, and it also has pinch to leap. With added gesture of dialer, contacts, internet, and messages at the bottom of every page.
Also it has a app launcher similar to the N1. Without the 3d cube effect.
Very responsive worth a try, only downfall is none of the htc widgets work while using this launcher. Bc their widgets are tired in to it.
I use the flip clock from the market, its customizable.and dolphin hd with their bookmarks widget and the friendstream app , that way it still has a sense feel to it.
UPDATE: Dev updated the home button to have the option of going to default screen or to the leap view. Also has auto rotation wich is something sense does not allow.

Its definitely intetesting, I just don't know how long I could deal with missing things like the friendstream widget.
That being said, I really like the app drawer. Its very awesome!

Exactly! Gotta have the sense widgets. I use for HelixLauncher 2 for about 5min then I have to switch back to sense.
You can pull from your app drawer the friendstream app, that's really all I miss, the sense widgets look great but are too big for my liking. If you use beautiful widgets from their clock you can set shortcuts to, calender, clock alarm, and weather.

i downloaded launcherpro. i only have 3 screens, unlink with sense when i have like 5 or something. also i have no idea what this app drawer, maybe its the menu button thing that opens all your apps, but if it is its the same thing as sense except cool animation.
also side note, im using chompsms widget, i saw some pics of someone using it and it had pic of the person in the widget, do i need to donate to get that or what?
It has three by default. Hit the menu button then preferences you can have up to seven screens.

Found it, downloaded it, used it, deleted it.
If I diddnt have sense, I'd be all over this. But for me, it just seems a little redundant. I personally, prefer the real thing.
I had widget locker installed on my galaxy tab and wanted to change the orientation to landscape. So I switched to landscape and widget locker caused adw launcher and many other apps to crash. So I had to factory reset. Just a warning for those who use it.
Mine is currently set to landscape. Has been for over a week now as I have a Honeycomb layout with ADW EX (whichvis also set to landscape) and I have had nobissues at all.

If an app stuffs up that badly, instead of doing a factory reset you can always just use adb shell and delete the .apk out of the /data/app/ folder.
Works fine in landscape here.
thanks for the replys. I'll investigate further.
EDIT: Still not sure why its giving me force closes. I have adw launcher set in landscape. I have the force landscape option in widget locker. I am using Klean mod for verizon
the latest widget locker works fantastic on my Tab, even supports sensor orientation now.
Landscape works perfectly and secondary sliders are on the right hand side now
rather than the top.
totally worth it if you are in landscape most of the time.

Everything else on the phone will go into Landscape except the stock launcher. Yes I have auto rotate enabled. Anyone else have this problem?
It doesn't for normal android.
Other launchers will. In opts you can make it landscape.
But it won't do portrait that way.

Oh, I thought 2.2.2 supported landscape in the launcher.
Try ADW or launcher pro. They both support portrait and landscape.
Hey guys I have tried several launchers but I want to have a launcher that I could align the widgets in a different fashion in landscape from portrait?
I have customized and aligned all my widgets to look perfectly in landscape mode.
However I do not always want to use my tab in landscape mode. When I flip to portrait mode all widgets look discombobulated and out of order. is there any suggestion for this pet peeve?
its something Impossible though , as the both sides are connected together you can't just do that , only if you are using 2 launchers then you can modify them . that is why samsung made our stock launcher use default rows and columns ..
I guess I have no choice but to deal with it
Sent from my SPH-P100 using XDA App
Well, technically you could try somthing like this;
have adw launcher for portrait and adw ex for landscape
set them both up for how you like, then you could use tasker to change launchers when the tab is put into landscape mode.
This is all theoretical of course, it could work, but i know nothing about tasker so cant really help you at all
Well it's a shot in the dark but ill try it out.... Thanks thanks for the suggestions

hi guys!
i want to completly remove my dock, and add the app drawer button directly on the homescreen. but i didnt find a shortcut or an activity for this.
using Launcher Pro Plus and Desktop Visualizer.
any ideas?
I don't use LP so I can't help you... but if you want to get really funky and go one step further, you can install Prox without even using a shortcut (as long as you have a proximity sensor).
Not what you asked for I know
wow that looks pretty cool, im gonna play with it
but i think i takes much battery....
Only when the screen is on. I use a Tasker profile to turn my screen off using the proximity sensor. It really doesn't use much battery at all.
kk, i give it a try
thx bro!

I didn't think LP let you remove the dock completely. If you try ADW, you can do exactly that--that"s the way I use it. I specify no dock, five icon rows, and put an app drawer shortcut on the home screen.
sure, I can set the dock (icons) blank. thats all

Got it--I guess you end up with an empty row at the bottom of the screen. Didn't even think of that.
Even better: set your swipe down gesture to hide dock, go to homescreen, swipe down and hide it, then go back and change swipe down to whatever you want to. Presto: no dock!

For me the easiest solution is what I mentioned above. Use ADW and specify no dock in the settings. I'm using Launcher 7 at the moment--no dock there either.

my problem is not the dock...
I want to set the app drawer to the homescreen. and I want to stay on LPP (resize widgets).
I just want the app drawer button "in the middle of the screen".

That's easy then. iirc it's Long press Homescreen/Add Shortcut/Launcher Activity/Open App Drawer.
Or something similar.

Same problem
I just google it to find how to add app drawer shortcut on launcher pro and find this link. I am using ADW Launcher EX but for some strange reason it can't add widgets over MIUI roms and also do not support MIUI icons, It use it owns icon pack so for that reason I install launcher pro, I can add widgets with it and it uses MIUI icons. Strange case here too no way to add app drawer shortcut
