Basically the question is how to make it so when you turn your droid x to the side (horizontal) the home screen changes with the move?
As far as I know, the only way the home screen shows horizontal is when it's in the car or multimedia dock
You could use LauncherPro to do this

Yea, most of the alternate launchers do this. I use ADW and it has a setting for it.
I ended up turning it back off though. What looks like a 'normal' layout in portrait, always looks funny to me when compressed vertically and stretched horizontally.
It annoyed me, so I leave mine in portrait unless car-docked.
Just my opinion

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 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

No, using One UI.
Yes I am giving the same issues. The widget gone missing from cover screen. Sometime also missing or disappeared from main screen.

I realized the cause of the issue.
If one adjusts the Font size in the Display settings, widgets disappear. Looks like a bug.
So, the solution for me was to adjust the Font size for once and don't adjust the same often.
I have the same issue. But the widgets vanished from the cover screen after a reboot of the Fold.

So, it could be a bug. Somebody needs to bring it to the attention of the relevant Samsung team.
My widgets are not disappearing, as long as i don't change the Font size in the display settings.
I'm having similar issue. If I try to add widget to ext. Home screen (at the bottom) when the screen turns off/on or when I open phone, the ext. Widget disappears - and reappears on the interior home screen (duplicate).
Although I don't think messing with font sizes will change the outcome

This is a bug. When you restart the phone and sometimes when you mess with the font size, widgets disappear.

Has anyone used a root app or xposed module to change the DPI? Did you find anything that works well?
I was thinking we could change the DPI to solve the problem of gboard not being split when unfolded, but then I realized that might not work when the phone is folded.
I changed dpi without root in developer settings. Everything runs flawless. GBoard splits automatically in landscape mode when unfolded

What DPI does it need to be set to work?
I am using 492

so you are saying as soon as you unfold the phone gboard splits? right now the only way to get it to split is to onfold and rotate
I have mine already set this way in dev settings as well at 421. will try 492 and see if there is any difference
EDIT - just changed. definitely no difference in gboard unless you rotate which is how it has always been when unfolded. what I did realize though is that you can set the DPI in dev settings for folded and unfolded it seems. playing around with it though I still have not found a value that auto splits the keyboard when unfolded in portrait state
Microsoft Swiftkey has the toggle to turn on split mode and that is fine for unfolded portrait and landscape but unfortunately it then stays in split mode on the folded screen making it unusable in that state.

yep, would be perfect if it wasn't split in unfolded screen
Also if you open the screen and set the DPI for the big screen I just plus 100 dpi on what it is as default its perfect. So there are 2 DPI settings one with screen folded and the other with screen unfolded
What is the default DPI for cover screen? I changed mine by mistake thinking it would change both screen. Then I found out they have different DPI for each display.
Should be 411dpi

Much appreciated!
Can someone confirm stock dpi with screen folded cause i changed it and now my screen is smaller than before.
Go to
Settings > additional settings> accessibility> vision >
Change display size to s or m it will set to default dpi size
Hello. I have come from the Samsung One UI to the new Pixel 7 Pro, on the Samsung One UI the settings gear used to be one of the first you saw when you drew down the notification bar, is it possible to have the same on the Pixel 7 pro, cause as now I have to pull down twice to see it and that is pretty annoying.
Following
not that my suggestion is a solution or anything, as I wish it was easier to get to the Settings as well...
but in case it wasn't known, if you pull the notification down with 2 fingers, it brings it all the way down, so you don't have to pull down twice....
clearly very difficult to do this one-handed, so obviously not really a solution...but more of a workaround until OP or someone finds a satisfactory solution...
just wanted to mention this little bit for general knowledge spreading...
Can't move it, but other than the above mentioned workaround, you can do other things like put a Settings icon on your home screen, or using a custom launcher like Nova, designate a gesture to open Settings such as two finger rotation clockwise.
Matter of fact, I might designate that right now.

At first I didn't like it either but think of it this way... you have one hand available, you swipe down twice with your thumb, and with one hand you can now reach the settings button. If it was at the top you probably would not be able to reach it with one hand unless you have Pro basketball size hands with llllooooooonnnnnnnggggggggg fingers!
I 'walk" the shade down using my index and middle fingers.
Because I use Nova, the default gesture to open app drawer is two-finger swipe down, and I use that often, so my personal workaround is to 'walk' the shade down with 2 separate fingers in 2 separate swipes, but it's quick. Otherwise, two-finger pull down from the top edge does indeed pull the shade all the way down.
I like Rode Warrior's idea of a two-finger clockwise gesture in Nova though, I'll give that a spin (pun intended?)

It's super quick to get into Settings this way, that's for sure.

pull down from the top, right bottom corner is the settings icon.
or put your home screen on 5 rows and put it in there.
