I just had a quick question in regards to screen rotation on the Transformer and wanted to see if everyone else is having the same result.
On my home screen I have both icons and widgets. When I rotate the tablet to go from landscape to portrait, or vice versa, it successfully changes the screen orientation; however, it causes the icons to take a second to reload and the widgets take a bit longer, almost as if they have to "boot up" again. Is this normal for Honeycomb and is everyone else seeing this happen?
The widgets I have that I am referring to in particular are the gmail and mail widgets, alongside the calendar widget.
I am un-rooted and running stock honeycomb with no custom launchers or anything. I just wanted to see if this was normal behavior, or something that only I am experiencing. Thanks.
Yep, it's normal. Mine does it also.

anyone noticed an issue with these two? havent quite figured out who's at fault, but here's the deal...
when you're in adw and you try to add a weather/toggle widget, adw will normally ask you to confirm the widget size, well, weather widget goes right into setup never allowing you to set the size and so it never triggers the widget... vicious loop everytime you try to add, works fine with beautiful widgets... and weather n toggle used to work fine too, but there's been quite a few updates lately...
any thoughts on this?
It works fine for me. All you do is add the widget, configure all the settings in window that pops up, then press back and it will take you back to the home screen with the floating resizing window.
Is anyone else having problems with wallpaper on Launcher Pro? Using the default launcher, the wallpaper scales down to the size I set. Launcher Pro keeps it HUGE and cannot be adjusted no matter what the resolution is.
Am I doing something wrong?
I have the same problem, it happens basically with any launcher that is non stock. theres apps that can fix the problem, but seems like a quirk that we're stuck with

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So I was having the same problem and figured out what causes it, and a way to generally avoid it.
what seems to be causing it: Allowing home screen rotation. It appears that as soon as you rotate, Launcher pro resizes the wp to that pixelated mess, and will not revert it back once returning to portrait. I've had it happen also while going to the home screen while having the browser in landscape
to prevent: from home screen click menu / preferences / behavior settings / -> and make sure "enable auto rotation" is unchecked. (don't worry you can still rotate in apps by activating the rotation setting in the notification bar, unchecking that box just prevents the home screen rotation)
to fix your current messed up wallpaper: click menu / settings / applications / manage applications / -> click launcher pro / click clear defaults.
this will allow you to activate touchwiz again. So hit the home screen button and select TW to complete that action. after it's done try setting your wp again. Go ahead and reset launcher pro as your default now and your wp should still look good. You should now be able to crop new wp's and have them look fine too.
you shouldnt have to do this again
all set!
That did the trick. Thanks!
I tried that but it didn't work on my evo 3d
there is another work around
open the pic you want to use
rotate your phone to landscape mode
set your wallpaper using the landscape square, not the narrow one. Let it finish.
rotate your phone back to normal
your WP should now not be that pixelated mess
As the title indicates I have no "goto" icons in my lockscreen and my home screen is missing the most important icons, the only on there is the middle one for all apps.
See file attatched
Is this a know bug and is there a way to sort it? Yes I have tried reinstalling the rom without any luck.
It seems to work with other launchers (Go Launcher and LauncherPro) but I really just want the stock feel.
Also settings seem to crash a lot...
I had this kind of issue with the lockscreen. If you can, try running the HTC setup app. It hopefully will restore it. Make sure you don't have any repeating Force Close messages, especially with HTC apps. That locks up the whole thing and usually forces you to have to restore a nandroid backup.
Well, that kinda worked for the lockscreen, I now have settings and one other thing there. I seem to remember there used to be a way to customize which icons to show? Any idea where to find it?
Anyone got any tips on the home screen icons?
Hi,
Just got HTC One X today and immediately updated to JB. After installing my apps and setting it up, I noticed that certain widgets would disappear from my home screen (Nova Launcher) and from lock screen (WidgetLocker). Only certain widgets - Battery Widget Reborn, Power Toggles, Smooth Calendar. After a reboot, they show up as grey boxes and I would have to tap and setup the widget again. Also noticed that SwiftKey would no longer be set as default keyboard and I would have to disable/re-enable to be able to choose it again.
Messed around and it's the same behavior with the stock launcher but with that, they the widgets just disappear altogether.
I did a system erase and pretty much nothing installed, same behavior. I've played with every setting to see if that had an effect but no different.
Has anyone encountered this or have any ideas on what's going on?
Thanks in advance.

Does anyone know of an app or a Launcher that will allow for screen rotation, from portrait to landscape and keep icons "in place"?
I dont use landscape because when the switch happens, i always seem to lose icons and what not in the bottom. If the icons themselves simply rotated in place, it would be perfect (dock on the side if applicable, ect).
Problem is, Ive never seen or heard of anything like this and searches just pull up typical rotation apps (as far as i can tell).
Anyone seen anything like this?
Hm...If I remember correctly, I think Apex Launcher has a rotation function.
