[Q] ICS - Landscape launcher - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does anyone knows whether the launcher on ICS supports/will-support landscape orientation?
An early drewgaren(or beezy, whatever) ROM had a launcher which went landscape, and with the ICS integrating some of the Honeycomb features, I thought it would appear on 4.0, though I don't see it in any of the AOSP ROM's as of now.

Being so that its going to support tablets as well, it will have landscape

[Q] launcherpro cause glitchy app drawer

Im currently on bionix rom but even on stock i had this problem
i want to know if anyone else is experiancing this problem
Launcher pro plus (paid)
stock launcher gives you 3D scrolling stock with gingerbread witch is great! but when u switch to launcher pro they replace your stock app drawer with theres, witch is not 3d then you may go into settings and switch it to there "May be buggy" 3d drawer on my other devices this is great looks/feels 100% real but on my nexus i scroll down perfect but soon as i tap the screen without scrolling motion it pops straight to the top of list and if i just want to scroll up just a bit it will go straight to the top VERY annoying i cant find the app i actually want..but i love launcherpro lol could it be the stock 3d drawer is conflicting with theres?
Doesnt do that on mine. 3D app drawer works great. Im runnin cm 7 btw
This is a known issue with Launcher Pro (hence the "may be buggy" warning).
I reported it on the Launcher Pro support web site on December 18th. No acknowledgement from the author yet. You might want to go there and add your two cents worth.
There's posts in that thread that say it happens in CM6 ROMs as well as the Nexus One Gingerbread builds, so if it's working for chris in post 2 than Cyanogen has fixed it, or he's not running Launcher Pro.
Me Too
I have switched to ADW again...because of glitchie 3d drawer and icons disappearing from Folders that i create. The icon is there, just not the icons image...it goes to the default green and white android icon after reboot. Also, ADW's screen transitions are beautiful.
yeah this identical problem even happens on the latest cyanogen nightlies for the nexus one. it is some incompatibility with launcher pro and latest builds, and i guess it exists on gingerbreadd as well. hopefully it will be fixed soon. for now i just use the non-3d app drawer on LP.
counting on launcher pro is a paid app they should really get into this ....but ya it sucks when your friends have inferior phones, and use 3d app drawer and my nexus s is so plaaainnn lol

Launcher2 rotation?

Does anyone have a modded stock GB2.3 launcher2.apk that does landscape/rotation from the home screen and app drawer? I'm running CM7 stable with ADW removed and things run alot smoother IMO but I'd like to get the rotation back without going to a different launcher.

Check out my thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1025264&highlight=landscape+launcher
r2Doesinc created a ROM with a stock Gingerbread landscape launcher and I put it in a flashable zip. After you download the file flash it in recovery. It replaces your launcher with a stock Gingerbread landscape capable launcher. It allows the home screen and the app drawer to rotate into landscape. You can use the power control widget in CM 7 to lock portrait orientation. I'm currently using it with CM 7.0.3.1 without any problems.
Thanks, exactly what I was looking for.

Rotate Screen

I am looking for a way to use the rotate option for ALL screens on my EVO.. the rotate option only works in certain apps and i would like to be able to rotate my Home Screen along with My Phone Dialer, is there anyway to do this?
I am running a Rooted Stock Rom on my HTC EVO with a netarchy custom kernal ... what are my options to achieve this effect?
PS: Just to be more clear, by rotate i mean: When you turn the phone horizontally, i would like the picture on the screen to also turn horizontally rather than like the home screen stays vertical even when i turn the phone horizontal
stock rom won't do landscape homescreen. You'll need to flash to a custom rom to unlock that. even still, I've never seen a landscape dialer.
Or run a custom launcher, I know ADW has a landscape options. But some of the widgets/icons are not optimized for it and look funny
there's absolutely no way to flash a mod that will allow the stock rom to do this? Are there sense roms out there that allow for landscape home screens or only AOSP roms that allow for the landsape of the home screen, and if there are sense roms that allow landscape homscreen why couldn't it be done on the stock rom ?
It's not necessarily the "ROM". It's the launcher (home screen). If you're rooted, you can use these on the stock ROM, or any other Sense/AOSP based ROMs.
LauncherPro, ADW, ADW.EX and GO Launcher are some of the popular ones that allow landscape home screens.

The HTC Sense home launcher does not support landscape rotation and there is no modification available to do so.

I run Warm Z 2.2 its sense 2.0 based and offers full landscape support.
my dad has the HTC EVO Shift, and his phone is able to do the home screen landscape, and that is also running sense 2.0 -- so technically... it is possible
does Warm Z offer landscape for the dialer?
I'm looking to be able to stand my EVO up with the kickstand on my desk at work and be able to dial on the phone with it horizontal sittin up on the kickstand

Your 100% right on the fact that your dads Shift is running Sence 2.0 and yes the launcher dose landscape. The problem is that your eVo, even though its rooted its running a "stock" rom and it still has only Sence 1.0. So it's not possible on your rom.
I would think that there's alot of coding that would have to be done to make it happen. And with all of the custom roms being ported to the eVo from devices that already have Sence 2.0(and Froyo) there's not that much of a demand to port just the Sence 2.0.
Heck, it may just not even be possible at all!?!?
Your best bet may be to find a rom that has been ported and is running stock Sence 2.0. There are a few of them out there... just have to look.

Phone and contacts that will rotate to landscape are out for cyanogenmod since nightly #78, you just have to enable it in the Call settings and Contact settings.

Launcher with discrete portrait and landscape layouts?

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!

[Q] Landscape Orientation ROM

Hey guys does anyone know of a ROM that supports landscape orientation and landscape dialler for when I use in my car dock. I know sense 4 has a car mode but Bluetooth doesn't work so kind of defeats my objectives at the moment
Thanks in Advance
Sense 4 roms are the only roms that can allow landscape on the home screen, not sure about the dialer. But sense 3.6 roms definitely cant use landscape on the home screen and app drawer.
