Does anyone know of any possible way to disable the forced landscape orientation when the phone is docked? I would like it to retain auto-rotate instead, so I have the option of landscape or portrait when docked. This is primarily for the car dock.
Ive tried manually editing the smali from several de-odexed apk's including DockService, Dock, BlurPhone - but regardless of what I've tried, it still forces the landscape mode.
Is this a kernel property, and if so, are there any properties that can be changed to allow this? I cant stand using the car dock in landscape mode.. My previous Photon auto-rotated. Atrix2 - not at all.
Thanks,
Rick

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).

Hi everyone I got a question here and this might be solved but I searched for a while with no answer
I really like to hold the g tab in bed and do some reading before going to sleep but you know how the auto rotation works and it keeps getting me the wrong orientation when lie in bed holding it at side. If I turn off the auto rotation, it only gives landscape. I understand this won't be a prob for a phone since it's portrait by default. But here for the tablet it's landscape Is there a widget or application can do the trick to lock the screen to portrait?
I am using VEGAn-Tab Beta3 and LaunderPro.
Thanks for everyone's hard working here and I love this place so much!
Look under Settings->display, there should be a setting to ignore the accelerometer. It says auto rotate, I believe.
He's looking for a solution that will make the default orientation Portrait, not landscape. Turning off auto-rotate locks the device to landscape orientation only.

I missed that and strange that they don't have an option to allow one of four orientations to be selected
Bump.
The contacts app appears to be landscape, no matter what.
Am I missing a setting for portrait phone & contact apps?
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.

try car dock home it works for landscape and portrait mode
Hi, is there any rom which is by default landscape only? Guess it would not be practical but i tend to use the landscape mode whenever i can.

I don't think there is, for the sole reason many apps do not support landscape. More than most people would imagine.
That said, you can always use a modified launcher/3rd party launcher to have an almost completely landscape experience. In Cyanogenmod you can set the autorotation to only use certain sides, even only the landscape one.
I use this trick to "lock" my device into landscape mode when I enable autorotation to read in bed or reclining on my sofa so it doesn't go crazy and it works wonderfully.
I was just wondering, is there any good themes that would work in both Portrait and Landscape views? Or is there any way to have your phone switch to another theme once your phone goes to Landscape view?
The reason I ask is because I use my phone in my car on my Pioneer AppRadio enabled headunit. I would like to have a new/fresh theme on my phone, but I would also like everything to work correctly when the screen is displayed on my car's head unit.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance
