Hello,
does anyone know if it is possible to get the caller list in landscape mode?
I noticed it only worked for me in landscape, when in the background
HTC Locations is on. When i turned it off, the landscape mode also didn't work.
This is really annoying, why i need htc locations, when i want to use it in landscape.
Damn, is it hacked at custom ROM, does anyone know if caller list works in landscape as example in a car dock?
But without HTC Locations...
Regards
CM based roms allow the dialer and contacts to rotate with screen orientation

Hmm not really, i installed now a Custom Rom ARHD and Pyramid3D, but it's the same.
The caller list isn't rotated by orientation.

I have the Stock updated rom on the HTC Fuze. I am annoyed that the caller Id/incoming call screen does not come on in landscape mode.
update (work around)
I come up with a solution that allows me to use applications in landscape mode and be able to screen incoming calls.
I had previously used advanced configuration tool 3.3.0.0 to enable landscape mode. While in landscape mode the dialer screen would malfunction if the keyboard was closed (even if I used screen changeScreen v2.78). Apparently landscape under screen in settings is different than open keyboard landscape. I had to either always have the keyboard open to view apps in landscape or answer every call.
I checked again to see if anyone else had this problem and knew a fix and came across my post. Maybe someone else with the same problem might find this post and be directed to the posts below.
I currently use the sensor to rotate certain applications. The device stays in portrait mode so the dialer cprog works (after a delay).

I noticed that in froyo you are able to rotate your phone both waya to get landscape but in 2.1 your limited to only turning your phone to the left.
How can we mod 2.1 to allow rotation both ways?
Most 2.1 ROOTED roms have this. Open up Settings>Sound & Display> Orientation.

Yes but screen only rotates one way. I want it to rotate both ways
CM 5.0.7-DS lets you go all four ways!
What about the other way around? I'm on 2.2 and I don't want it to change orientation if I rotate it the other way.

I'd like to be able to change the rotation trigger angle.
Quite often I find it rotates prematurely, when I'm not trying to rotate it...
Any ideas?
Id also like a less jarring rotate like there was in 1.5-6.
Hopefully its possible.
Hi everyone,
I'm really new to this so go easy! Also, I'm sorry if this type of question has been posted already. I have looked around and can't find anything that fits the topic.
I'm using the HTC Desire HD and use this a lot for navigation whilst driving. I use the navigation app in landscape mode and my in car holder is landscape. I have recently posted on here to get my Spotify to work in landscape as well so it is really easy to use in the dock.
However, I receive phone calls and the incoming call screen then flips to portrait. This means I have to tilt my head to the side to view the call! This is also a problem whilst using the dialler.
I use Launcher Pro and the home screen rotates to landscape so I thought the dialler and incoming call screen would do the same. Seems not.
I have seen apps where the dialler uses landscape modes, this solves a part of the issue. I am really wanting to be able to set the phone up so everything is landscape when tilted this way. I want the dialler and incoming call screen to do the same as the rest of my phone does when tilted in this direction.
Any help would be much appreciated, I am willing to learn and look into the coding if this is what is required.
Thanks.
I search the same solution for it. I have a dockstation in landscape and i search how rotate the screen when I receive a incoming call.
Thanks ^^
I had the landscape call working for me in my Desire HD with Android Revolution ROM, but somehow i lost this function and i can't figure out how to get it back to work. It was very handy to use when driving, and has also the option on a button to has someone else to the cal.
Hope we find the solution soon !!
As for me, the best car app for today is Car Home Ultra. It is customizable a lot and it shows more usable information on main screen.
But at the same time, I face the problem of finding "right" shortcuts.
For example, if I'm using shortcut for Phone, it always works in portrait mode. I can't get it in landscape
Does anyone knows how to get shortcuts for Phone (or Dialer) which are used in original HTC Car panel? Phone app in Car panel does rotate (Favorites, Recent Calls, Dialer)!!! see pics.

You would need a Desire Z dialer apk that has the ability to rotate. Problem is.. the Desire is the wrong resolution. You might want to search around a bit and see if anybody ported a rotating dialer to the Sensation...
I am not sure dialer from other phones are needed, because, as you can see on pictures, Sensation has already rotating dialer, at least from it's original Car panel.
I want to find shortcuts to these apps.
Ok. Perhaps right question is - how to get Phone mode (dialer) to landscape view?
Thanks to "topcattroy" from other forum for workaround on Car Home ultra.

" ... Inside this app's options it has a check box to turn on car home
which came with the phone. It acts like you put it into a car dock from verizon.
And guess what the dialer is now landscape. So when you use this app
when your driving you can put a shortcuts on the app to call or open the phone.
It is in LANDSCAPE. It took me since the phone came out till today to find this
to work. Hope this helps anybody with a thunderbolt. and i bet other androids too."
I am thinking about the same question after tried out several car home dock applications myself. How to get the dailing panel landscape? If you observe carefully most roms do not go to landscape mode of the sense home or dialer if you put your phone on the side. It seems the landscape mode of sense home is supported deep in the framework in the Gingerbread. Most devs, perhaps the htc soft-engineers too make the landscape mode off in the normal situation in order to prevent any complications. Only the devs can figure out how to trigure the landscape mode. Hope an expert finally can focus on thier eyes on this issue and make a application shortcut.
At the same time, native CarPanel allows dial mode go to landscape mode. Even 3rd part dialers works in landscape (but I like sense ).
Also for Windows phones there were quite easy to make "white list" in registry for apps to allow them to rotate.
I am not sure, but perhaps I have to ask this question in devs discussions.
I eventually got the dialer into landscape mode after a few tries. I am using a rooted leedroid ROM but its should be pretty much the same for standard ROM.
I had to remove all of the HTC Locations apps and widgets, as these are all system apps I used Android Optimizer for doing this. This also allowed me use the Google Car Home app which is installed but not accessible with HTC Locations installed.
To put the phone into Car Mode I use the Tasker app to set the Display Car Mode on but the Car Home Ultra app also has an option to do this.
With this done I can use the standard dialer in landscape and as I prefer to use Google Navigation app anyway then I dont have the HTC Locations installed at all and havent tried reinstalling in case it tries to take over again.
... and yes as a wee word of advise, backup everything before you start and then backup each item before you hit the remove button!
HTC is sending landscape dock stations... but Sense has no landscape mode !....
Is there any way to we can do to be able to use our dock stations without breaking our necks ?
Something like:
- Enable sense landscape mode ??
- Any app to be able to use a different launcher for portrait and landscape ??
Any ideas ???
Really TY !
i would be very much interested in this too.
mindboggling to think that they place the usb port on the side, design docks in landscape mode, and it wont switch to landscape.
As much as i understood, devices with a physical keyboard seem to be able to display sense in landscape, so i really wonder why that isnt available for the sensation
Thats why I use a portrait dock LOL. Actually I do but not because of preference, more of a need for more desk space at work. . I use craigsdocks.com and I can use any case on the market with these docks. You just need a little double sided tape to adjust anything. Anyways back to topic....
I think you can use launcherpro or some other launcher to go landscape but I prefer stock sense.
You can go landscape mode when the dock app is launched though. To get it to work, I can use an app called llama location profiles, https://market.android.com/details?id=com.kebab.Llama&feature=search_result
It's a condition/action app where you can set current conditions up and then when those conditions are met, the actions you set will trigger. So to trigger the dock app, I set it up where if the condition is when I have it on charging either usb or ac, connected to wifi, or any other condition like setting a time frame, the trigger will to launch the dock app. You can set up the conditions to your liking so that's the cool factor about it, IMO.
just dont use sense, it sucks anyway. best app is launcher pro, which has many useful settings and landscape of course too. the only good thing of sense is the lock screen, the rest is bullsh*t
Bulletproof ROM has dock mode and is awesome.
That ROM is running 1.72 so I'm not sure if Roman include it in his ROM or if it's actually something coming on 1.72.
