Setting Default System Portrait and Landscape Orientations - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

Topic.
How can I modify the system orientations -- lets say I want my four softkeys at the top of my phone rather than on the bottom of my phone in portrait mode. (as in permanently)
Anybody have any clue?

Keyboard Switching App

I was wondering if there was any application out there that I could use to have separate keyboards for landscape and portrait? I would lioe to be able to use swype for portrait and have it switch to better keyboard when I'm using landscape? Or maybe someone could create it if there wasn't already something like that on the market (dot dot dot hint)?

Not seen anything that auto switches.. But it's quite quick to long press on the text input box and change the input method.. I suppose!!!

Nahh... that takes too long for me, that's why an automatic one would be best

Launch an app in portrait mode???

Hello, is there a way which allows me to force launching an app in portrait mode? In fact, I use the Touchwiz camera and every time I launch it from portrait mode the app will take about one second to set itself to landscape mode before I can use it. I know that this is not a big deal but it would be better that if it does launch in portrait mode to save that one second.

Is it possibel to change the size of the virtual keys?

Hello, I tried the PRO 12.2 in a store. Under the landscape mode, the virtual keyboard takes half the screen. I tried the split keyboard under both landscape and portrait modes and found the keys to small. Is it possible to change the size of the keys?
Also, under portrait mode, sometimes the delete or erase key does not work. What is the problem?
Thanks.
You can download another keyboard on the play store, but I think you can't change that on the Sammy keyboard.

SwiftKey
The keys are as large as they are for a reason. Touch typing in landscape mode takes some practice but works really well on the stock keyboard and the inclusion of the symbols on the keyboard is fantastic. I highly recommend giving it some time before switching.

Yes you can change it. I dont know how much you will like the results though. try downloading exposed and using the app settings module you can download from there. You can slightly lower the dpi for the keyboard until it hits your sweet spot. It will change the ENTIRE keyboard size though.you can probably go down 20-40 dpi without much negative impact though. Try hackers keyboard and smart keyboard pro as well. Both of those are highly customizable. Smart keyboard lets you do alot with the size.

By the way, just to let you know, I tried the Swiftkey keyboard and it started freezing up my note. I had to uninstalled. I also think the keyboard is to big, I'll try out the suggestions before my comment.

Yup, I tried swiftkey and swipe but ended back at the stock keyboard. Both were buggy for me. I'm starting to wish for the ability to have control over the dictionary for stock.
