Anyone know of of an app that allows you to have 2 different launchers for each orientation? My setup on ADW goes out of wack on portrait, and I'd like to be able to run Launcher7 when it is in portrait. I know there's an app that does this for keyboards, but is there one for launchers? Is it even possible?
a paid app, tasker, can launch apps based on many conditions, including screen orientation. haven't tried, but you should be able to launch the launchers according to your screen orientation.
wouldn't recommend it though, so people find the intermitten homescren redraw, i think doing soeting like this would cause your screen to redraw at the slightest of screen movement.

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.

I wish the rotary lock aligned to the bottom properly

For some reason, when I install and run ADW Launcher on my ChaCha, it puts it on the side of the screen, as opposed to the bottom. Am I doing something wrong, or has anyone else found this issue?
try launcher pro, much better

Because the screen in landscape mode.
I assume louncher pro will do the exact same thing as it is a landscape screen.
It does, I confirm that. LP puts the doc on the right side of the screen.

I tried most of launchers go launcher, launcher pro, awd, spb too and nothing supports landscape. Honey comb launcher supports landscape but the screen icons are too small

i tried VTL launcher, it looks nice and suits best for chacha in landscape mode. the dock bar can be put on left, right and/or bottom of the screen.

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

Hi all, does anyone know of an android launcher that has discrete layouts for portrait vs landscape orientations? Kind of like how ics does it now, but something I can install on gingerbread? When I'm in landscape mode my icons are all smooshed together due to the vertical vs. horizontal grid spacing being the same for both. I've done a search for this off and on when I remember for the past few months or so but can never find anything. Is it that hard to implement?
Thanks!
