I have searched a lot for this, but have been unable to find much info. Does anyone know what it would take to enable Auto rotate for the lock screen? I have tried several builds and themes and many auto rotate the home screen, but none that I have found auto rotate the lock screen. My issue with this is I keep my g1 on my desk with the screen up, and I like to keep it in landscape because it fits better when I plug it in. The problem is that every time the screen locks it goes back to portrait when I wake it up again. Then I have to pick it up so that it will go back to landscape. If anyone has any insight on a solution please share. I hope the reason I haven't found any threads about isn't because it is just a check box in the settings somewhere. Well actually I hope it is, but I would still feel dumb.
If this thread isn't appropriate for this section let me know and I will delete it. Just on a side note, is there anyway we could get more appropriate post icons for the forum? Maybe an icon for a post that contains a rom, one that contains a theme, one for a general development question, etc. It just seems kind of silly to use a smiley face or a thumbs up/down here.
how bout using one of them home apps in the market.. i remember either open home or ahome kept gettin on my nerves about what u are talkin about
Dxtop is my fave and did what ask on every but the. Ion build . God I hated it cause when u take it out of your pocket the phone would be in the the process of flipping oriantation and on some of the buggyer builds this would lag horribly (yes my spelling sucks)

I use aHome on the Ion Rom right now. aHome seems to have no effect on the lock screen though. If my G1 wasn't lying on its back it wouldn't be a big deal, but for some reason every time it locks it reverts to portrait. I just wish there was a way to make it not default like that. Its not a big deal, I wouldn't go back to RC33 to get the feature back, but it is a little annoying.

Are you saying that dxTop will auto rotate the lock screen on non Ion builds? I would definitely switch to cyanogen's rom if that's the case.

To my knowledge None auto rotate the "lock screen". I believe that the above posts are not reading your post correctly seeing how they are talking about Ahome and OpenHome home replacements.

i agree, ive used every home replacement out there, none of them do anything to the lock screen, the lock screen is completely seperate. Maybe a dev could make lock screen (hopefully not like a iphone like some devs have) that would accomplish this for you. Maybe ask in the application section to see if anyone is working on such a app, and if not, you may be giving a developer who is looking to develop an app something to work on.

That's too bad. I am just surprised that this doesn't seem to bug anyone else. I just don't know enough about the inner workings of the G1 to figure this out. Is the lock screen an app or is it controlled by the launcher? I just wish I could figure out why it worked on the pre cupcake JFs, but doesn't work on any post 1.5. I don't want to cross post, but if you guys think this would be better in the Apps and Themes feel free to move it.
As a workaround, you could enable the setting that prevents it from sleeping while plugged in which will also prevent it from locking.
Well... I figured that if you had the launcher and lock screen rotate, the phone might waste battery power while you're not using just rotating on every movement... This would probably also prevent it from going into sleep mode.
Not that that's the real cause, it's just my own reasoning. (It made more sense in my head. lol)
I know that it USED to autorotate the lock screen on the earlier haykuro G builds. Or was that the early non-cupcake jf builds.... I can't remember...

well my g1 spends alot of its time either in my pocket, or in a dock, both of those are in portraite mode, thats why it hasnt bothered me, but i see why it would bother you
I suggest using Droidsans Tweak Tools from the market and checking system wide auto rotate. That is the only thing I have ever seen rotate the lock screen. That's what you're looking for.

Yeah I know, auto rotate was the only thing I used droidsans for but since the newer builds already have that option I dropped it lol

That is what I used to use pre-cupcake on the JF builds. After cupcake that tool stopped working. Anyone know if there are any cupcake builds it works on. I tried it last week on Ion and it didn't work.
--edit 2--
DroidSans Tweak Tools v0.87
"Auto Rotation Status: Bad Version"
DroidSans doesn't seem to work with JF1.51
--edit 1--
looking into droidsans... also want this ability
--first post--
In the past two weeks I did some reflashing (JF1.51, Hero, Ion, and back to JF1.51) and have noticed the lock screen not auto-rotating while the keyboard is closed. I was sure this used to happen prior to two weeks ago (while I was on RC33 and JF1.5) but really can't be sure. You might want to ditch these newer builds for a while and go get RC33, maybe that ROM does it.
To paraphrase: I thought this was supported and over the last couple of weeks, flashing several newer ROMs, I cannot be sure anymore that auto-rotate of lock screen ever existed. Maybe RC33 has it.
I'm also interesting in having this lock-screen-rotation enabled.
Since I have a giant clock widget on my home screen I feel this is pretty redundant. A quick google search yielded this result:
http://www.market4android.com/remove-the-clock-from-task-bar.php
But, that's for the Hero. Any ideas on if we can do something similar with the EVO?
hahaha, same here. it's retarded when i click on the show your home screen thread and see the huge sense like time along with the smaller taskbar time. or people have the battery widget showing the same thing as the taskbar battery. having the widget repeating the same information as the taskbar is redundant. it would be nice to disable it in the taskbar so i can put up some widgets.
Im really wanting to get rid of my stock battery icon as well. I had it on the hero, since Im using a battery widget that shows the percentage up there anyway.
I have the time removed on my moment but i doubt the same update zip will work on the evo.
itd be great if we could...

I did something like this on my old moto droid, that made the time disappear. Only prob left an open spot where the tine used to be, but at least it was gone. I will check on droid forums.net to see if I can find it.

Obviously some way to shift the icons over or put something else there would be ideal, but even just removing the time and having a blank space would be fine with me. I just think it's dumb to have the time shown twice right next to each other. Thansk for checking.
I agree. The only time it's handy is when you're in an app and you want to check the time real quick by hitting menu and dropping down the notification bar. I wonder if I'd miss that once it's gone.
When I get home I'll try to achieve it if no one else has, wish I knew how to remove that empty space tho >.
You can get rid of the notification bar altogether with ADW Launcher. Don't know if that will help you guys.

I still want the notification bar..I just don't want the time in it and I'm appealing to the experts here because I don't know how to mod the notification bar.
A thousand internets to whoever does it.
I'm sure I'm not the only one who hates the iphoney icons...I tried a couple things, but even using bettercut, the launcher still boxes in the icons, which is a pain for apps with long titles.
I'm in bed now(wife's orders), so I'm going to look in the morning, but has anyone else tried looking?
I posted a MOD in this forum that is the stock Android 2.2 Launcher. It works great in my opinion.
ADW Launcher , on another note, I think the bubble around the icons are built into the code for the app. I don't know how HTC did it so it's very likely that I'm wrong.

luncher 2? and we should be able to get that to stick now
i just want the bubbles around the icons gone, everything else im fine with. Is there any way to access the myfavs thing? I probably would just switch to launcher pro if i could do that
Either ADW or LP will let you set the buttons to the left and right of the app drawer button to whatever you want. Just set one of them to the "Faves" app and the other to "Phone" and you'll have the same functionality again.
I personally don't mind the boxes around the icons as much but I hate the espresso rectangular launcher, it's so plain and ugly. I want the traditional launcher and no myfaves crap.
I dont mind the icons, but I had that the lower right key is for Favs. I dont use Favs. If I could change that I would be golden. I use and love all the Sense widgets so I dont want an alternative launcher.
I have to get a few things done for work, but as soon as I finish I'm going to pull the launcher (rosie.apk?) and poke around. It's not just a graphic file because it cuts off text if it's too long. This is probably going to take a while, but I'm sure it'll be worth it in the end.
I paid for launcher pro because I used it on my nexus and g2, but the htc widgets are very well made, and I'd like to use them. It's just painful looking at these icons.

I'd be able to make a metamorph in about a minute to change that for you. All you need to do is substitute a transparent PNG for that icon background.

Yes and no, in the stock launcher, icon text wraps to the next line. In rosie, this is not true. It just gets cut off. You can make the png transparent, but there's a very good chance it's going to get cut off still. I found some xml files in rosie.apk but didn't have enough time to look at them. I'll explore a little more once my kids go to bed.

I love ADW on my G1, but after putting it on the MT4G, I've noticed that it doesn't run all the widgets... is that because they are sense widgets?

That's correct. HTC widgets require the htc framework.

Most likely, yes. Root was JUST achieved though, so it's going to be a little bit before this stuff starts happening. Next week will be a busy week in these forums for sure....

Check out the hero section they have a mod to change the far right button so maybe following that example something can be done to this!
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide using XDA App
So I found some files of interest while rooting around this morning. In rosie.apk, there are 6 files of interest, the icon borders at rest, selected, and pressed, icon background at rest and selected, and the icon backgrounds at rest, selected, and pressed.
common_inputfield_press.9.png
common_inputfield_rest.9.png
common_inputfield_selected.9.png
common_panel_navbar_button_press.9.png
common_panel_navbar_button_rest.9.png
common_panel_navbar_button_selected.9.png
I made them transparent and used the sdk to change them back to .9 files, but for some reason I don't have r/w access to /system/app/. I'll have to look that up.
Hey Guy's,
I'm currently on WolfBreaks GingerBread 2.3.3 Build v3.7.0, and i'm wondering if there are any compatible Notification bar power control widget mods that i can apply to this rom? His ROM is nearly perfect in my opinion, the only real thing i'm missing is the convenience of being able to turn things on or off from status bar like bluetooth, gps, etc.. like i did with Cyanogen based mods in the past.
This comes in super handy especially when my phone is docked in car mode. Saves me the trouble of having to fiddle with backing out of an app to turn these features on or off while driving.
I am aware that there are apps on the market that already provide this functionality like the Widgetsoid app, however what i'm looking for is a more elagent tightly integrated mod that fits in with the overall theme and does not look like a widget was simply placed on the pull down tray.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help! Also, my apologies if this has been posted elsewhere, i did search but could not find an answer to my question before posting.
I should also clarify what i mean by "tightly integrated", apps like Widgetsoid only "link" to a separate pop-up menu where the control is turned on or off. So it takes several clicks and various screens to turn something on or off. What i want is to be able to turn the various different options on or off with a single click right from the Notification bar, like you find in the Cynaogen mods.

Dude, I use widgetsoid2 since forever and no pop up windows to Turn things on or off........ even with apn.......but its not in the notification window....
Skeb, that's the problem though. When you do place Widgetsoid in the notification bar, it no longer works with a single click. I already have widgets placed on my desktop for for turning various things on or off, and they do work with a single click. However when driving with google navigation turned on for example, i want to be able to do the same by swiping down the notification tray to enable bluetooth with a single click, without having to go to the desktop to use the widget, then go back to navigation.
Try it yourself, when you place any of these widgets on your notifcation tray it will no longer work with a single click, it instead brings up a seperate pop up window.
It's not exactly a deal breaker, but if i can get the same functionality that i had using Cyanogen mod's, then i would be really happy!
Agreed, I would love that feature too!
To those who care about this feature. I just wanted to post an update that WolfBreaks's GB rom will now be introducing Cyanogen style status bar control widgets in his v4.0 rom which will be released very shortly. I also noticed that EWJet CM7 port also includes this. Nice to know i did not have to wait long to see this feature!

There is no such thing as "EWJet CM7 port",
it's still stock SE ROM, tweaked!
Just to clear out the confusion!
But yes, statubar toggles are finally here for stock ROMs!

I've just installed CM RC1 & I've accidentally discovered that WHOLE device can be used in landscape except on thing, the lockscreen. Is the whole landscape thing unintentional? Or is it something in progress.If it's unintentional can Nexx fully implement it or is it something that needs to be officially made by Cyanogenmod? Thanks a million for Nexx for bringing us CM for our device & I hope that it's HIS version gets official. I also noticed now that the dialer isn't landscape.

I think there's an option in the dialler preferences to allow it to be used in landscape
Also, I've noticed that when I hit dismiss/snooze on the alarm in landscape mode, I get a flash of the lockscreen in landscape for a few seconds before reverting back to portrait...?
Thanks! Your right about the dialer. But about the flash of landscape, that even happened to me in stock HTC Sense in lock & home screen so probably it's just a glitch or something.
