Just curious which ROMS support rotated home screen.
I know Darky, and Perception did, but just installed serendipity and it doesn't seem to support that feature.
This is a ROM feature or a module or app I can install to enable it.
If so, names of ROMS or apps would be appreciated it.
Thanks
All roms have screen rotate, if it was not working, bad flash
I don't mean ability rotate the screen. I mean a rotated home screen.
Some ROMS, will have a verticle HOME screen, and some ROMS will when rotated will display the HOME screen in Landscape mode, with the launcher on the side.
Got you, not rom specific, launcher specific. I use adw, has that feature, not all do. I am not sure which launcher serendipity uses
Have you tried a market launcher such as launcher pro or adw? Their home screens can be set to rotate in their settings no matter which rom you are using.

Thanks guys, much appreciate the help.
Adw launcher is perfect.
It has absolutely nothing to do with your ROM, just what launcher you use.

Is it just me or does launcher pro, version 0.8.2, have a huge bug? whenever im in the app drawer, if i rotate my screen so it goes into landscape mode, all my icons get shoved into the top left corner. Same thing happens when im going from landscape to portrait. Also i've tried the 3d drawer and it scrolls down fine but when you scroll up, it goes straight to the top of the list. Its really bugging me i dont know if its just me or not but i've had to go back to the stock launcher bcuz of these bugs and i <3 launcher pro. damn it xD

Yeah, I see the icon thing but it only does it for a split second for me then it fills back out.
I haven't tried the 3D Drawer because the developer explicitly says it's unstable/buggy/whatevs.
Its a shame because I absolutely love LPP. The Widgets and customization options are so awesome.
But it ran smoother on my CM6 Evo. The screen transitions are quite choppy on the NS. I wonder if it has to be optimized for GB? I tried adw ex today and it was SO fast and smooth. I also get FCs on startup and the bug you speak of. Not to mention I can't get the 3d drawer to work...
But I can't be without my Widgets!

sigh.. yeah, LP is my fav. i dont like adw for the fact that you cant customize your own dock. you gotta dl themes and stuff. and i started out on LP to so im accustomed to it. i hope it gets fixed soon.
Does anyone have a modded stock GB2.3 launcher2.apk that does landscape/rotation from the home screen and app drawer? I'm running CM7 stable with ADW removed and things run alot smoother IMO but I'd like to get the rotation back without going to a different launcher.

Check out my thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1025264&highlight=landscape+launcher
r2Doesinc created a ROM with a stock Gingerbread landscape launcher and I put it in a flashable zip. After you download the file flash it in recovery. It replaces your launcher with a stock Gingerbread landscape capable launcher. It allows the home screen and the app drawer to rotate into landscape. You can use the power control widget in CM 7 to lock portrait orientation. I'm currently using it with CM 7.0.3.1 without any problems.
Thanks, exactly what I was looking for.
I am looking for a way to use the rotate option for ALL screens on my EVO.. the rotate option only works in certain apps and i would like to be able to rotate my Home Screen along with My Phone Dialer, is there anyway to do this?
I am running a Rooted Stock Rom on my HTC EVO with a netarchy custom kernal ... what are my options to achieve this effect?
PS: Just to be more clear, by rotate i mean: When you turn the phone horizontally, i would like the picture on the screen to also turn horizontally rather than like the home screen stays vertical even when i turn the phone horizontal
stock rom won't do landscape homescreen. You'll need to flash to a custom rom to unlock that. even still, I've never seen a landscape dialer.
Or run a custom launcher, I know ADW has a landscape options. But some of the widgets/icons are not optimized for it and look funny
there's absolutely no way to flash a mod that will allow the stock rom to do this? Are there sense roms out there that allow for landscape home screens or only AOSP roms that allow for the landsape of the home screen, and if there are sense roms that allow landscape homscreen why couldn't it be done on the stock rom ?
It's not necessarily the "ROM". It's the launcher (home screen). If you're rooted, you can use these on the stock ROM, or any other Sense/AOSP based ROMs.
LauncherPro, ADW, ADW.EX and GO Launcher are some of the popular ones that allow landscape home screens.

i just want my stock rooted sense rom with the ability to landscape my home screen...
The HTC Sense home launcher does not support landscape rotation and there is no modification available to do so.

I run Warm Z 2.2 its sense 2.0 based and offers full landscape support.
my dad has the HTC EVO Shift, and his phone is able to do the home screen landscape, and that is also running sense 2.0 -- so technically... it is possible
does Warm Z offer landscape for the dialer?
I'm looking to be able to stand my EVO up with the kickstand on my desk at work and be able to dial on the phone with it horizontal sittin up on the kickstand

Your 100% right on the fact that your dads Shift is running Sence 2.0 and yes the launcher dose landscape. The problem is that your eVo, even though its rooted its running a "stock" rom and it still has only Sence 1.0. So it's not possible on your rom.
I would think that there's alot of coding that would have to be done to make it happen. And with all of the custom roms being ported to the eVo from devices that already have Sence 2.0(and Froyo) there's not that much of a demand to port just the Sence 2.0.
Heck, it may just not even be possible at all!?!?
Your best bet may be to find a rom that has been ported and is running stock Sence 2.0. There are a few of them out there... just have to look.

Phone and contacts that will rotate to landscape are out for cyanogenmod since nightly #78, you just have to enable it in the Call settings and Contact settings.
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.
