Not that I know of. I dont like how it covers the entire screen either. That's one reason why I never use landscape mode anymore. I can type pretty fast on the portrait mode keyboard on swiftkey, so thats what I use.

Home screen and dialer etc I don't mind staying in portrait but for everything else than can be displayed in landscape I'd like it if it can be displayed and locked in landscape. Preferably with out having to gain root.
I like landscape and I also like reading (sideways) in bed, which makes auto rotate a nuisance.
Can anybody help?

It does the opposite of what you want, locks everything portrait. Very handy IMO.

how about landscape mode lock. this would be great its one of the reasons i miss my g1. searched allover for a hack and it seems iphone/behold.. users are wishing for the same. ive noticed it stays in landscape when rotated to the left (counter clockwise) but 45 degrees to the right and it goes to portrait (very annoying for bedtime surfing) not to mention the glitchy laggy transition back to landscape. we know there is an orientation check box under display setting, but thanx for the widget tip 'linhnd'..not
Been available for jailbroken iphones for over a year now. This would be great app to have and I would love to see developers and modders make more fixes like this , things that improve the functionality of Android.
is this dead or maybe this guy can do it
Cyanogen 4.0.1 rom has landscape mode at the home screen.

Who would like to see an automatic switching of keyboard types when moving from portrait to landscape?

If it could happen FAST I suppose I might, but seems like there would be a relatively noticable delay in switching from one to the other unless you had some kind of mash up of code from both. (judging by how long it takes to switch from htc_ime to stock). granted it's not much, but if I have to wait 2-3 seconds for my keyboard when i switch to landscape I personally wouldn't use it.
Personally, I would very much like to use Swype in portrait mode but HTC IME in landscape mode. There's something about Swype in landscape mode that doesn't work well... you wanna use two hands but just can't.
Tutech hit the nail. I would like to see the same please.
Hi everyone I got a question here and this might be solved but I searched for a while with no answer
I really like to hold the g tab in bed and do some reading before going to sleep but you know how the auto rotation works and it keeps getting me the wrong orientation when lie in bed holding it at side. If I turn off the auto rotation, it only gives landscape. I understand this won't be a prob for a phone since it's portrait by default. But here for the tablet it's landscape Is there a widget or application can do the trick to lock the screen to portrait?
I am using VEGAn-Tab Beta3 and LaunderPro.
Thanks for everyone's hard working here and I love this place so much!
Look under Settings->display, there should be a setting to ignore the accelerometer. It says auto rotate, I believe.
He's looking for a solution that will make the default orientation Portrait, not landscape. Turning off auto-rotate locks the device to landscape orientation only.

I missed that and strange that they don't have an option to allow one of four orientations to be selected
Bump.
The contacts app appears to be landscape, no matter what.
Am I missing a setting for portrait phone & contact apps?
Hi, is there any rom which is by default landscape only? Guess it would not be practical but i tend to use the landscape mode whenever i can.

I don't think there is, for the sole reason many apps do not support landscape. More than most people would imagine.
That said, you can always use a modified launcher/3rd party launcher to have an almost completely landscape experience. In Cyanogenmod you can set the autorotation to only use certain sides, even only the landscape one.
I use this trick to "lock" my device into landscape mode when I enable autorotation to read in bed or reclining on my sofa so it doesn't go crazy and it works wonderfully.
since some apps on the chacha have wrong rotation for some reason (e.g. peak.ar unfortunately switches the rotation modes) i wonder if it is possible to create a program that just fakes the rotation portrait/landscape for some programs.
the is.

What exactly does this do? This didn't have to seem any effect on anything.
All my programs that had wrong orientation did the same like usual.

Run it and select the type of orientation you want your programs to run in. Landscape is for the ChaCha display.

Nope, doesn't work. Landscape detection of programs is wrong as usual.
For example: Peak.ar is wrong and pictures taken with Pro Paint Camera are also rotated 90° wrong.
Whatever this program does it must be for something else.
Worked for me on previous versions of CM9, where the dialer would show up in portrait mode, so it might be something else that's hindering peak.ar. You could email the rotation locker dev asking him about this.
Ok this makes most programs opening in Landscape mode - however they still will "think" that they are in the wrong mode.
What really helps here is only something that fakes the values of the rotation sensor the other way round.
