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.

How about... no? I can safely assume you are not using the stock launcher. Have your tried simply thing your device while on the homescreen?

alot of apps will work landscape and portrait, twitter app for example rotates 270degrees. Not the launcher though.
Car dock will put it in landscape mode.
only with the car dock. and yes i'm talking about the launcher. So if someone can make a app that tricks the phone thinking its in the car dock, it'll do landscape then.
it does do landscape while in the car dock(rotating to right and left). they also added landscape to the phone app too!
Why don't you just download Helix or LauncherPro instead of trying to force the stock launcher to glitch? lol
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.
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.

Question answered thread closed.
I had widget locker installed on my galaxy tab and wanted to change the orientation to landscape. So I switched to landscape and widget locker caused adw launcher and many other apps to crash. So I had to factory reset. Just a warning for those who use it.
Mine is currently set to landscape. Has been for over a week now as I have a Honeycomb layout with ADW EX (whichvis also set to landscape) and I have had nobissues at all.

If an app stuffs up that badly, instead of doing a factory reset you can always just use adb shell and delete the .apk out of the /data/app/ folder.
Works fine in landscape here.
thanks for the replys. I'll investigate further.
EDIT: Still not sure why its giving me force closes. I have adw launcher set in landscape. I have the force landscape option in widget locker. I am using Klean mod for verizon
the latest widget locker works fantastic on my Tab, even supports sensor orientation now.
Landscape works perfectly and secondary sliders are on the right hand side now
rather than the top.
totally worth it if you are in landscape most of the time.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I wish the rotary lock aligned to the bottom properly

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
