ADW.Launcher can do this. I believe Launcher Pro as well.

Or switch to CM7 and it will auto-rotate.

Another reason to switch to it

Thanks guys. I will look into getting ADW Launcher or switching to CM7 (I assume that's CyanogenMod7??)

From my quick playing around, VegaN (running launcher pro free) will let you rotate the full 360, but some apps and games will still insist on resetting back to what they consider to be the default orientation - take angry birds for example, you can have your tablet upside down with the UI flipped automatically but as soon as you crank up angry birds, it will go back to the default orientation which will now cause the game to go upside-down.
My point here is I don't think you're going to be 100% satisfied by just changing ROMs, I think you'll need to look for or implement some kind of hack to make the tablet permanently think that flipped is now the new orientation....

Now that is a good idea. I hope one of you guys who know what you're doing can come up with something. This screen is perfect for me when it's upside down.
A question for the ADW users: will it play videos upside down, or do they always re-orient back to the normal way up?

Adw will fix home screen, but IIRC, everything else is app dependent (if the author enabled full gyroscope/rotation)

I need an app/hack that jumps to "leap view" w/ 1 tap of home.

Id love to see how it feels to instantly "leap" w/ one hit of the home button.
Dont know if this can be dont w/out Root. Hopefully, one of us knows of an app that can do it already. Or maybe someone can code/hack it.
Maybe I should drop this in Dev department? Maybe I should just hit up all the forms?
Thanks a googolplex in advance,

what are you looking for? instead of 2 taps of home?

yeah. so instead of one tap of home then swipe, or two tap of home then pick, its just one tap home and pick. I think that how macs do it now a days with expose, right?
If mines already on the home screen it only takes one tap....why 1 instead of 2? Your THAT lazy you want someone to design an apk that edits the amount of taps required?

1. Didn't ask for someone to come along and state the obvious.
2. Because 1 is less then 2.
3. Yes, yes I am. especially since that cuts my taps down by 50%.
Seriously, i find it hella annoying that i have to go to the main home screen before i can go to the on that i want. just reverse the order. make one tap go to leap view, and two taps go to main home. I see mac users doing this all the time with expose, and it looks awesome.
It's shouldn't be hard. Just look in leap. Should be able to switch. Lemme go look and see what I can do for you.
What about if you actually want to end on the homepage? If it changed I would believe that would require two taps now instead of the one, its kinda of a toss up.
I wish we could press and hold the menu button to bring up the app drawer. Having android so long I am not used to hitting the bottom left for the Apps but having used DxTop I did get accustom to pressing and holding menu to bring up the Apps

Did this topic really validate a new thread? Is it really necessary to act like a douchebag and knock other members on here for trying to help out? If your going to act like a child, take it somewhere else.
Ok? I dont really see how I came off as not sincere. Not after i clearly stated... "I was super stoked on that. Thanks again."
There is a new launcher in the market right now that im using it works great.it called launcherpro.
I would install "home switcher"also in the market. That way while you are setting up your new layout you can go back and fourth. Without being interrupted by that a default prompt.
Launcher pro has single tap of home button that brings up the leap view, and it also has pinch to leap. With added gesture of dialer, contacts, internet, and messages at the bottom of every page.
Also it has a app launcher similar to the N1. Without the 3d cube effect.
Very responsive worth a try, only downfall is none of the htc widgets work while using this launcher. Bc their widgets are tired in to it.
I use the flip clock from the market, its customizable.and dolphin hd with their bookmarks widget and the friendstream app , that way it still has a sense feel to it.

LuancherPro is too slow to replace Rose or Home++. Can't someone open up launcherpro and see how it does it?

Works well for me- it still has HTC Sense loaded in the background, which I'm sure if you turned it off would make it run even faster... but it works nonetheless.
I've been using it for two weeks no lag. Rosie is nice for awhile but the widgets are just too big. Plus I get bored quick, and having their widgets on my old eris for six months was enough for me.

[Q] Launcher like NXE?

Does anyone know of a home screen launcher that looks like (or can look like) the NXE (New Xbox experience) dashboard? I would swear on a stack of bibles that I saw one on a youtube video of an android phone.
No one?

There's nothing like you want, at the moment. But, perhaps you must consider
this when they have a final version in the market.

thats not really like the Xbox dashboard, but that does look very promising.
Thanks for responding. It's such a simple and neat interface compared to "screen full of icons", I'm surprised no one is trying to make it happen.

Laggy - Help?

Just got the Xoom thursday. Been using it since then. Only got a handful applications & songs. Find it laggy & unresponsive sometimes.
Advice? **** for a dual core. Use it only in portrait. Unrooted.

If you have opted not to root or install a custom kernel, then the first step I would take in cutting down on any lag is to install a different launcher.
I can recommend ADW Launcher, LauncherPro and GO Launcher. All are great, very customizable, a good deal smoother then the stock UI on Honeycomb and come in both free and donate versions.
Install all three and try them each out, choose the one that suits you best.

Don't use it in portrait, problem solved!
I am serious though, tablet runs like **** in portrait. It isn't made for it.
I've gone to portrait no more than 2 times since launch. Landscape is much better, afterall.. it is a landscape tab
I'm running 3.1 and I don't really see the supposed UI hardware acceleration improvements. Sometimes swiping screens is pretty fluid and smooth, but many times after getting out of an application, the home screen will stutter into place and some initial swipes are jerky.
I occasionaly use the tablet in portrait when reading comics, using ConnectBot, Nzbget, Words with Friends etc, apps that force portrait and while I agree that it takes longer than it should to switch to portrait, once there it doesn't have any problems.
I am rooted with Tiamat kernel installed and OC'd to 1.4ghz but I don't remember there being any issues even before I did this.
Like P2flol said though, the Xoom was designed to be used in landscape... as all honeycomb tabs have been.

This is a famous problem!! Only use it in landscape while the front camera is on top! This is the only way to get 60fps all others will give you 30fps!

PyroIce Tips, Tricks, and Help Guide. -Please Post Your Own Too :D-

I've made PyroIce my new Daily, and we all know it has some bugs. So I thought I'd start a thread to help Unclutter the fourm.
Here's the first thing I've found out.
- Wi-Fi Networks that are WEP/PSK locked can be connected to without having to Manualy put the name in.
Nova Launcher is a Great ICS Replacement Launcher. It can be downloaded from the Market. Or found on XDA as a flashable Zip. That makes it a system app, and allows widgets to be accessed from the launcher.
It has homescreen effects, drawer effects. Custom Grid Sizes, and all widgets are resizeable. Its the ADW of ICS, and is better than CM9's Launcher for 4.0.1.

Just saying that Nova Launcher is alreaddy included in the flashable rom
Is it buggy?
I want to install this on my wife's phone, but she has no appreciation for the great work being done here. I would rather not put something on her phone that is going to cause me grief.
Also, is the user interface the same?

to be honest, its a great rom. for people that know how to deal with beta roms. if your lookin for a grief free rom, id use another one. i use this but i dont mind the small issues and can deal with them. the user interface is ICS, so the same as ICS yeah? same and gingerbread.. no, lil different. more user friendly i think.
New release is wifey friendly... I think mine could handle it and she has to gripe for a couple months b4 she asks me to root her phone....

Good, the only reason I won't root my girls phone is cause I don't wanna fix it.
Does anyone know if you can unlink the notification volume and ringer volume in ICS?
Sent from my myTouch_4G_Slide using Tapatalk
first off, i think this rom is simply great, considering that ics is on very few devices right now, and that our phone is a bit slow in general with development (nothing against all the devs on this phone, cuz what they have made are all really good)
two questions:
does anyone know why the camcorder app is limited to 720p recording? it's definitely not a big issue, but this camera is considered to be one of the best, seems like a shame to waste it.
also, any way to fix the htc dialer showing up in the call and to answer a call you have to unlock first?
how's everyone's battery life doing? mine's much better than when i had cm7 on it
I was looking at 1080p but for some strange reason libstagefright camerasource detects that 1080p is not available. Coudlnt binary hack that, and no idea why that happens.
You can use fullscreen caller id to let you receive calls without unlocking, or can use widgetlocker from market with security set off.

gotcha ill switch over to the non sense version now, thanks for the quick reply.
Posting here because I'm still a "New" user and cant post in dev form.
I'm running PyroIce Sense and I cant view any flash websites. Anyone else having this problem? I've tried re-installing Flash, Dolphin (wont work on stock browser as well), and reflashed the rom.
Any ideas?

Try opera mobile - proper flash support is one of their selling points. Unsure if it'll help, but worth a shot - mobile, not mini.

If i enter full screen browser hangs. if i zoom in, it will play, but it's very choppy with elements of my wallpaper mixed in, sometimes it's the notifications bar that draws itself into the flash. It's very odd.
thanks for the help! (loving this rom BTW)

TSF shell (many screenshots)

I am using it now, although it may have a lot of UI effects, but amazingly all the effects are buttery smooth, no lags at all on my Note. It is easily the smoothest launcher I ever used (I have Go, ADW and the stock Touchwhiz).
However the price is high, and a few functions still not available now, but I'm sure they will be added in future updated (they need cash urgently to keep the project alive, I think)
When this is fully done, it will be the best launcher on the market ^^
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.tsf.shell#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDIxMiwiY29tLnRzZi5zaGVsbCJd
I was looking forward to it but the price tag put me off and if u take a screen shot and zoom in on the icons u will notice that the icons are lower resolution then for example stock launcher.
And if you for example take and place the Box widget on both TSF shell and on the TW home screen u will se that even the widget have some kind of lesser image quality on the TSF home screen. I have no idea why, But the white backgroud isnt as sharp and detailed on the TSF launcher compare to TW. And on the top blue color on the widget u can see stripes in the color and in TW there are no stripes. I dont know if it has something to do with color depth or something.
This occur on version 1.2
There is a thread about it already with plenty of feedback from all the peeps that have trying it

Strange, it says that my device is incompatible.
I installed it on mine yesterday. I must say this is the best launcher I have ever seen and just amazingly "smooth". I mean no lag at all. I tried tons of launchers on my note but nothing come close to these. So powerful! Rotate icons anywhere, the sticky note is also bad ass. Flexible! I captured a short clip last night while I was playing with it. Still trying to figure some other features.
