Hey guys
Is it any app that can make our Android phone to have any kinde of animation when we rotate the phone to landscape, like the WP7 or Iphone ? for exemple in web browser or Gallery, Messeging ?
Sorry for my bad english
Thanx
Speaking of switching orientation... is there an app that switches orientation much quicker and without having to tilt the phone back and forth for it to register, but rather actively check the accelerometer to see whether it should be in landscape or portrait because 90% of the time, it doesn't do that. My Droid X will be vertical in my palm yet be displaying landscape then I have to whip it back and forth for it to come back. Very annoying.

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?

That would be awesome
+1 at least in the browser and home screen. maybe after we get root (fingers crossed).

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.
k well at least we have landscape lock in the browser tx to loccy and cyan..happy surfing
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.
The title says it pretty much. I have a bunch of G1 androids I’ve repaired. Every other time I take one apart they no longer switch orientation from portrait to landscape automatically. (pulling out the keyboard makes them switch orientation O.K.).
I am sure it is the same for all phones but I just cant figuer out where the accelerometer, or whatever does the transition is.
Thanks, PK
Hi everyone,
I'm really new to this so go easy! Also, I'm sorry if this type of question has been posted already. I have looked around and can't find anything that fits the topic.
I'm using the HTC Desire HD and use this a lot for navigation whilst driving. I use the navigation app in landscape mode and my in car holder is landscape. I have recently posted on here to get my Spotify to work in landscape as well so it is really easy to use in the dock.
However, I receive phone calls and the incoming call screen then flips to portrait. This means I have to tilt my head to the side to view the call! This is also a problem whilst using the dialler.
I use Launcher Pro and the home screen rotates to landscape so I thought the dialler and incoming call screen would do the same. Seems not.
I have seen apps where the dialler uses landscape modes, this solves a part of the issue. I am really wanting to be able to set the phone up so everything is landscape when tilted this way. I want the dialler and incoming call screen to do the same as the rest of my phone does when tilted in this direction.
Any help would be much appreciated, I am willing to learn and look into the coding if this is what is required.
Thanks.
I search the same solution for it. I have a dockstation in landscape and i search how rotate the screen when I receive a incoming call.
Thanks ^^
I had the landscape call working for me in my Desire HD with Android Revolution ROM, but somehow i lost this function and i can't figure out how to get it back to work. It was very handy to use when driving, and has also the option on a button to has someone else to the cal.
Hope we find the solution soon !!
Hello, I'm new to this forum. I left the Blackberry (Bold 9900) world and jumped on board here. So far I LOVE my Mytouch 4g Slide!
I could have sworn that my "home" screen and "all apps" screen would rotate when I turned it sideways without having to slide my phone open. Now it doesn't. I first noticed it when I opened up my Netflix app. I turned the phone sideways to search for a movie and the screen would not rotate. It only rotated when the movie played.
Do your phones rotate on the home screen/all apps screen without sliding it open?
Please help, it's bugging the heck out of me.
Thanks
Whoops I thanked you lol.
Some apps allow landscape mode, and some don't.
In addition, auto rotate allows your sensor to make the screen turn when it's on its side. Check the settings. (Settings > Display, I think). Hope this helps.
mine actually rotates when the keyboard is closed and doesn't when the keyboard is open, which is quite logical and the correct behaviour i think
Does your MT4GS do this too???

That's strange. I wonder why that is. So yours rotates the home screen and "all apps" screen when turned sideways?
I am sure that my auto-rotate feature works because when I open certain apps, say, the Gallery where I have all my pictures stored, I can turn it sideways to the left or right and it will rotate accordingly.
It is only when I try to rotate the Home screen and All Apps screen that I could have sworn would rotate too.
Any help on getting this back the way it should would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

I checked my Auto Rotate settings and they've always been on. I unchecked it and then rebooted and then checked it again and it still didn't work. Not sure why.
Nope, if you're on the stock ROM (As far as I remember, considering I haven't been on stock since the first ROM came out and I've refused to use the stock launcher anyways) orientation won't change on the "Home" screen unless you slide the keyboard open. Correct me if I'm wrong. Personally, I turn rotation off because it sometimes gets annoying. You could always try a different launcher though, I'm pretty sure ADW and Go Launcher rotate on any keyboard condition.
The app Orientation Control works well if you want your display to stay in a particular orientation all the time. Costs a buck or two in the market, and the main thing it messes up is the camera when you want to take a picture, but you can always switch it back to 'auto rotate' in those cases.

Yeah, I'm on stock ROM. I like the rotation feature for now, and was just wondering why it would work on some screens and not on others. I thought that was a default feature.
At least I know I'm not losing my mind. I really did believe it used to rotate the Home screen and All Apps screen without sliding it open.
I guess one thing I can try is going into a T-Mobile store and testing out their phone there to see if it rotates.
Thanks everyone!

Never did for me in the stock Sense launcher on the app drawer or home screens, unless sliding out the keyboard. I made a reference to that in the tv-out thread back when I first got the phone in august.
It works everywhere else, and you could just use another launcher to have it happen on those two screens.
I'd like to enable that functionality in Rosie - i'm not sure why it's like that and it's puzzled me for months.
I dunno, personally, I turn off auto rotation all the time. If I want to view anything in landscape, I just slide the keyboard open. Just my preference, though.
I really like a free app called auto rotate switch. It gives you a button in the status bar that you can click to turn on and off auto rotation. I've used it since my first android phone, but have never used it with this one.
