On the home screen and app drawer, at least. Well, my dad has a stock hero and he left it on top of his car and drove off. It slid off the back, broke out of its otterbox and exploded in a bunch of pieces. He found them all and nothing broke.
BUT! Now sense rotates into landscape on the home and app screens when the phone is turned sideways. How does a big fall remove what was thought to be a software limitation?
Picture or it didn't happen...
Gladly.

Sorry for the quality. Lighting isn't so good in my room.
That's interesting...
Landscape layouts ARE available in some versions of Rosie (since the 2.1 update, which I see you have), theory is that this was in expectancy of a landscape Rosie which eventually came in the form of the Desire Z. When this build was ported to the Dream, which had an HW keyboard, opening the keyboard would also give you that landscape view.
What's interesting is that the breakage somehow triggered landscape to be enabled. There's two ways for an application to change orientation; nicely by allowing sensor rotation in Android_Manifest.xml, and forcibly by having an HW keyboard (or whatever it's trigger is) which will send the Landscape view request to the OS without needing the sensor orientation.
Most apps use "sensor" or "nosensor" for orientation purposes, few use "portrait" and "landscape" to force the app to stay in a certain orientation. Rosie is programmed for "nosensor" since the devices that used it up to that point were supposed to lack the kb-open trigger.
I wonder which piece inside the hero it is that "moved" and is reporting an open keyboard when orientation is changed... weird indeed...
Yeah who knows, I guess it just got tricked into thinking its always in text input mode and rotates freely. I didn't know any phone running sense could do that, so its good to know it at least isn't a one time deal.
BTW, I wasn't doubting you...I just really wanted to see pictures
That is hilarious...does it "scroll" then, as I see some icons are cut off?
That's pretty cool. Does it take forever to rotate like it did on the g1?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Right, the icon placement isn't quite right but it does scroll side to side, and the app drawer scrolls. And no, it rotates very quickly actually.
Watch bicentenial man then find your phone some drift wood and wait for it to make you a fortune

I like the concept. I like that you are able to quickly get an overview of messages, calendar, calls and you can adjust was you like it. It would be better if it had facebook, twitter intergration as part of all the other info panels also.
The only issue here I see is that the whole notion of android is the widgets...which I like. I'll keep it on for awhile to test it out. Maybe it will grow on me.
It's basically windows mobile homescreen.
I agree with archboy, great concept, but still missing some customization features. The ability to move an item from the top half to the bottom half is needed. This would be great if it could also be used as a fullscreen widget, so that I could still use the rest of my screens.
I wish this was a lock screen.
IMO, this information oriented approach instead of the action/application oriented approach is much better in terms of productivity.
The only drawback of this application? I cannot access to some widgets/actions and I do really want to be able to do things like enable wireless, 3g, change brightness... without the pain of going through the setup menus.
A good solution to this problem would be a light weight home screen app which could be launched from slide screen and load the the 4 or 5 widgets I need. I've tried aHomeMini but it forcecloses, any suggestions?
@iVisionX01: yeah, having it as a lock screen is also great but, again, I won't need the full featured home app.

2nd that
Tried it for a couple of hours, but missing customizability and getting settings too far out of reach made me uninstall quickly.
I wish it was a widget!
Try QuickDesk or PowerStrip with this, working great for me, very pleasing to the eye..
wow i cant believe i missed this home screen
should be perfect with QuickDesk and PowerStrip
i dont get it??? Whats it suppose to do??
It's a shame FroYo won't let you change default launcher programatically any more (you have to do it through the settings). I would love to have had Tasker set this is default when I was at work, then LauncherPro the rest of the time
Hey guys - I have the Kevikev case, and as we all know the device is upside down the case. With that being said: Can you make my default screen orientation to be flipped? Before you say flip and and lock it, I do not want to do that, I still would like to take advantage of being able to go to portrait too. Wondering if there is a hack or a command I can run that will make my XOOM default be upside down?
Thanks.

I posted a comment on your review of the case in the other thread.....the case isn't upside down. You're holding it upside down. When you fold the front around to the back and insert it into that slot, the short side is the bottom and not the back. It doesn't give the greatest angle for typing, but you're supposed to stand it up on the short end.

Could you please tell me what you mean by the case is upside down? isntthe front facing camera SUPPOSE to be out the top in landscape mode? im reffering to when you have it the video call stand position.. if the xoom was inserted the other way the camera would then be pointed at your chest. thus it is not backwards. why are we not placing blame where it belongs? the auto rotation lags not the fault of the case thats a system issue that hopefully will be fixed along with all the badly needed updates we all are sooooooooo in need of
Hi all!
I just wanted to kick off this Friday with a little treat of sorts. I have just purchased the latest landscape version of the dock where I had previously have gotten my portrait one (which I love btw) here; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1181292 .
Anyway, because craigsdocks.com has been a great store/guy to buy from, I had to try out this version as well. And I must say this landscape is really pretty nice. But for my personal preference and lack of desk space, I think I may stick with the portrait one...maybe not lol....
With the landscape model, this dock can easily be used with other phones like the Thunderbolt and Incredible, and Incredible 2. And the best part of these docks, you can use literally ANY case you want with this dock, granted it's not a HUGE case lol....
Any negatives? Hmmm... well I did have a bit of a battle with the tape and making sure that the micro usb port wasn't too far up. Other than that it's just a space issue that can be easily worked on with the supplied allen wrench.
On the dock itself, you can see the dock is lined with a soft felt padding and the dock is made of aluminum there's a little recessed space for volume buttons as well. The bottom is lined with rubber so that it won't be sliding off of a smooth surface. This guy thought of everything! Including the little notches to run your cord whichever way works best for your phone. Pretty nifty IMO.
Like the portrait version, this has a great weight to it and because of the rubber grip, this sucker isn't going to slide off very easily.
As for triggering clock mode or dock mode, I made a short vid on youtube to illustrate how to do it with a great program called llama location profile. Once you set this up, dock/clock or whatever mode can be made to come up. BE NICE I just put this together at work lol....
But please ask any questions you may have on the dock and/or the program.
Have fun people!

I didn't even think about it until I saw a picture of the One X in landscape orientation on HTC's Facebook page, I think it would be really cool if there was a mod to get our phones to go into landscape when not docked or connected to an MHL cable. I don't know about you guys but I hold my phone horizontally pretty much all the time except when making calls and would love to see my homescreen in landscape mode. So, count homescreen landscape capability as a top item on my mods wishlist. I would think it would be a pretty easy mod to do so I think we should all show our interest by posting in this thread and maybe one of our awesome and very appreciated devs will take notice.

Probably not what your looking for but another launcher like nova launcher allows to auto rotate or even force landscape mode

Yeah, but I am really digging Sense 4.0 (I know, I'm shocked too). Would love to be able to do it with Sense.
Look for an app called "Rotation Locker"
When you run it, long press "Auto" in the menu that comes up and it will force all apps to rotate (even if they're not meant to), including Sense. I used it for a bit until I moved to Nova Launcher and can attest to it working pretty much flawlessly.

Thanks for the tip! Works great I would like to see a "native" solution but this will do just fine in the interim.
I noticed that the MHL HDMI adapter immediately forces landscape, and it does look pretty awesome.
Yeah, landscape is awesome. The app that stnguyen09 recommended, rotation locker, works awesome so check it out if you haven't. https://play.google.com/store/apps/...locker&feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDNd

It's not a real tactile keyboard but at least it's a new landscape keyboard-ish phone with new hardware. I'm disappointed it is a screen but if it's customizable then that would make a bit more sense instead of it just being a silly gimmick. I don't need a camera button on my keyboard, I'm not sure what's beside the 1 key or the left/right arrows, I don't need a symbol button where backspace should be and it looks like a whole row worth of space is wasted where there is just the speaker symbol.
It might be better than the landscape mode blackberry options though but there's no way I'll be able to type on it without looking as well as having a tactile and real physical keyboard. At first I thought it was a real keyboard and got so excited. I have come down off that high now.

Damn...it was a hoax. Just some sort of concept art someone was using to get their name out there for graphic design.

Not sure if this was posted previously, please share. Coming from the same folks that developed a keyboard mod for the Moto z phones
Sincerely hope the device is successful
I have a love for QWERTYs (look at my past phones). Spread the word please!

instead of adding that in a 2nd post, you should edit your OP to remove the unsourced clickbait fake pic and rumors... then replace it all with the actual *factual* new landscape slider, which *is real*, has *legit sources*, and details could be found since mid to late 2018, now directly at https://www.fxtec.com/pro1 or just delete this "fake news" thread entirely.
