Hey,
Does anyone know a way to turn off the Launcher going into landscape mode with the keyboard open? ADW launcher has an option in its settings, but I would like to know if it can be done with any other launcher (eg. stock or LauncherPro). I would like the launcher to stay in portrait.

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

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

Just curious because the home screen never goes to landscape when you tilt the phone and the other screens to the right and left of the home screen?
I think Launcher Pro will allow you to do this.
ADW launcher also has this feature.
Yeah, you're going to have to use a launcher if you want the home screens to switch to landscape. Launchers are worth it, though. Gives you more room for customizing.
What are these programs you guys mentioned? Are they Apps? Where do I get them? Do I just download and that's that? I'm not rooted....completely stock and unlocked.
I'll throw in my nomination for GO Launcher.

I also recommend GO Launcher.
Launcher Pro
+1 on both Launcher Pro / ADWLaunder
+1 for launcher pro
Is Launcher Pro still being updated? I quit using it several months ago because it seemed to be lagging behind in features. GO Launcher receives frequent updates and has a very strong feature set.
Is there any Launcher out there that got the feature to change homescreen based on orientation?
I currently have my device locked on Landscape because I feel it looks better and I can fit more stuff on it. But with the same number of columns and rows in Portrait makes everything look bad and squished, if I use less rows and columns in Portrait then most of the apps and widgets are hidden and it still looks bad.
So the best would be to have 2 different homescreens depending on the orientation, I currently use Apex but I couldn't find a feature like that. Sure I could just scroll manually to another screen but that's just annoying and it's easier to lock it to landscape in that case.
sslauncher the original (market link) can do that nicely. It doesn't have XxY layouts, everything is freely arangeable (with guidelines). There's also a free version, which should have the same functionality to try first.
Not exactly what I was looking for, I was looking for the standard launcher but with orientation based homescreens. But this one looks really nice, will try it out for a while thanks.
orientation homescreen
only one i have been able to find is on Cyanogenmod 10.x launcher application name is Trebuchet 1.0

I need to use CM for Trebuchet, my device is not supported so that's not possible.
Also on my old device which was supported I couldn't find that function either, Trebuchet can auto-rotate but you can't set default homescreen depending on rotation.
For example, in Apex Launcher I can set Landscape to have 10x10 grid and potrait to have 5x5, the problem with doing that is that all apps and widgets that are set on a grid that is beyond 5y or 5x will disappear in potrait and everything will look bad.
What I want is to use homescreen number 1 as default for landscape and homescreen number 2 as default for potrait, that way I can make them look good on their own orientation.
The launcher should switch to the correct homescreen when I change orientation. I have tried like 15 launcher and haven't seen this function yet.
Other than only using 1 screen with the default launcher or another launcher like Nova, is there any way to turn off wallpaper scrolling? Or is there an option I'm not seeing that lets me crop a wallpaper for portrait only?
With Nova, there is an option to disable wallpaper scrolling in the settings under desktop. Not sure about the stock launcher, Nova was the first thing I installed.
