I'm here to recommend one to u guys, found it in the market after a few hours.
Since i cant post links, search for 'Display orientator' by RUBBERBIGPEPPER
Well, I've looked the app up on the internet and really I can't find anything really special about it. Could you maybe explain why you think it's so wounderfull?
Here. I think it's actually worth trying! Thanks OP
I was just searching for such an app and stumbled upon this thread.
It seems like a great app. There are some apps that I use daily which do no allow vertical orientation. With this app, I was able to force it....
Thanks!
fantastic and very useful little app, flick golf looks miles better wide screen ;-) . thanks....
Perfect! Just what I've been looking for.

I'm not sure if I'm allowed to bump a 2 months old thread but here goes. It's still relevant now anyway.
It's not the problem whether this app is special or not, it's actually the only app on the market that allows you to force your screen's orientation. Well, there is actually another one but it's not free and the reviews said it's not working properly.
I've had issues with one game where I accidentally kept pressing the softkeys. Used this app to turn the screen 180 degrees and I don't have that problem anymore. Also surfing the internet (I tend to switch between portrait or horizontal when browsing) or watching youtube while lying on bed is no longer a problem.

Hello,
Pointui.com has launched a new user interface, similar like iphone and its free.
Check out a detail review over here.
Nice!
Looks very promising. But I think it will be a real memory eater. Can't wait to see the first reviews.
Interface

It does look nice, but you realize that was a demo, right? I'd like to see a real demo with an actual running copy of it with a real finger using it. As far as I could tell, thats just a flash (or similar) example.
BTW the website (with countdown clock) is at http://there-is-no-place-like-home.com/
mfrazzz, if you want to know for sure then go and download it
It's now available.
BTW: I'll retract my above statement after watching this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qRw1T-N5dic&feature=user
Looks impressive as the other demo.

Thanks and it looks very slick and is very responsive. I have issues trying to setup my home location for weather though. First, I find it odd that USA is seperate from North America . Then when I select Colorado and choose a letter (C for example) it first loaded the B's. Then I exited out and came back in (as it kept showing B) and did it again. Choose C again and it loaded W's...
Still this look very impressive. Are we allowed to cook this into roms?

It's free, and I didn't see any licensing information so I don't know why not.
Hi mfrazzz, sounds like you are hitting the right of the screen in the area that activates bookmark scroll try clicking in the center or to the left.
In the future it would be great if you guys want to burn it into roms, but if I was you I would wait for a few bugs to get sorted out. We are going to be spending the next few weeks working through issues that have already been raised in our forums.

Yeah, I think my problem is I'm doing quick and light presses. I need to get the feel of this, but if I do a more firm press its selecting thing properly. So I think this is a case of user error in learning this

Yep, fully understand.
Quick question... Is there anyway to get to the Apps that are located in the Start Menu? (\Windows\Start Menu) . This seems to show apps starting at \Windows\Start Menu\Programs . So by default things like Office, Contacts, etc are not available (unless I'm missing something again).
On first blush, I'm impressed so far. Now people need to rewrite the apps underneath so they are more finger friendly too
Hi mfrazzz, try in Favorites.

just tried and it looks really cool, runs fast on the kaiser this would be a champ when / or if this is allowed to be cooked in.

Its really useful, but theres is some of the thing that is missing in it, if intigerated than it would one of the most useful program a winmo user will ever need. I will write a review on it may be tommorow check my blog.
This looks freaking sweet. There is one thing that I noticed though. Kinetic/Touch scrolling is normally done opposite in the direction of scroll so that the text/image follows the direction of your movement. This seems to bg going in the direction of scroll. Is there a setting to change this?

You can change this. Hit your settings button (upper right gear symbol) The change it to object navigation from slide naviagation)
Also for those that can't close programs. Hit the program name (of the app you have open)in the upper left, then choose force close. So far i have only seen this not work on the phone screen which you have to minimize.
I really like this interface and it's a keeper for me. The only issues i really have is #1) Reoccuring appointments do not show and #2) it defaults to outlooks e-mail instead of the account switcher. i don't use the outlook e-mail, instead i check 2 pop accounts. My work around for now is to add a shortcut to messaging to the startup and access it there.
If anyone has a work around for the above, please post it.
GREAT APP though!
Hi ROCOAFZ, version 1.01b is going to be available soon which allows for an alternative email store - you can specify a different store name and the unread email indicator is the total for all your email accounts. Won't have a screen to update it at this stage - just a registry val to set, but with a bit more time...
1.01b is going to be the first mass test of Update Manager. Man, I hope it works
Recurring appointments - on the list, but don't expect it within the next few days - we're back to day jobs as of tomorrow and presently spending time trying to tackle some of the bigger bugs. Actually, we are spending our time trying to keep up with our forum and getting no coding done
Glad you like it.
Hi everybody,
I have written a detail reveiw of pointui home here check it out.
well i just install it on my phone and i think it's a lovely app. run fairly smooth on my wizard. kinda lag on the switching of viewing mode, unlike the video. beside that i love.
I flashed a new Rom last night and WWF was working fine for me. I was playing back and forth with my wife for a few hours. Then it quit working. It starts to load, then quits. It goes to a screen showing the upside down android with link. Click link and it says Web page down. I uninstalled the game and then installed it again. ?Same thing. Trying to figure out if it is a WWF problem or some thing with the Rom.
My question is, anyone else having problems with Words with Friends?

If you happen to have AdFree Android installed, I remember reading somewhere that this messes up Words With Friends. Probably because of their awful post-move full screen ads.
The rom has adds removed. For what ever reason words with friends doesnt work properly without adds. you need to delete the host file on your phone using a file manager

You my friend are a genius, I looked at the specs of the ROM and there it was. My last rom had where you could turn it off. I just gotta find the option for that for this rom.
THANK YOU
Actually if you do a Google search, there are instructions on editing it to enable just words with friends. Other ads are still mostly blocked.

I actually just discovered Wordsmith, a similar game to WWFriends. Seems to work better and more stable. Only thing is it's not cross platform with iOS.
I'm running chromi-x. My chrome browser's address bar search feature is somewhat hijacked...
<search term> goes to google/yahoo/bing (as set in settings) but it searches for: http://www.search-goal.com/?q=<search term>&affID=<somenumber>&babsrc=amob_ait
Has anyone seen an android browser hijack? Any idea how to fix? AVG A/V hasn't had any luck....
EDIT/PS: This is not happening in the default android browser.
Oops. Didn't read properly. Sorry. Forgot you said it searches the correct engine.
Edit: after a few Google searches, I can't find anything about search-goal.com, and the site has no information about itself either. My best guess is an app you installed is doing it. Uninstall anything you may have installed in the last week or so, and see if the problem goes away.
My suggestion would be to uninstall reinstall if that doesn't work, reflash the rom. I just went to search-goal.com on my pc and it looks dangerious. Im wasn't aware the homepage could be changed without user input, if you've installed any root access apps (essentially any apk files) id uninstall them.
Thanks for the suggestions. I tried uninstalling chrome. Got it uninstalled but had a heck of a time re-installing. It would NOT wipe /data/data/com.android.chrome. I finally removed that with TWRP. After reinstalling chrome it's still doing it. I've done an "install over" rom install (install, no data wipe) and it's still doing it. As much as I've tried to avoid it I think I'm going to have to wipe/reload/reinstall apps one by one. My last shot is I'm trying to find where the search engines are set up if it's a file somewhere to see if I can edit it.
Definitely malicious given the one time I tried to open it on a PC that I knew I could clean if I needed to it came up looking like a google clone.
Thankfully it's not actually loading that site so it's not doing anything but being annoying when I try to search.
same in my case -> solution
I had the same issue at my tf101 (at Team EOS rom) - and I was able to find the reason: in my case A.I. type keyboard app and the so called customized web search capabilities. When you remove this "feature" chrome search is back to normal.
Happy camper!

Many thanks be to timbetu! I shut off all my extra keyboards I was trying out. (FloatNSplit, GO, Hacker's, & Perfect Keyboard Free). That left the Android, ASUS, and Google voice typing turned on. Sure enough it went away! I was actively using FloatNSplit at the time. Will do some experimenting to find out if it was that one or another.
You have saved me from having to resetup my tablet!
:highfive:
EDIT: Also, dude, that's pretty awesome that your 1st post to XDA gets a thanks! Welcome to the forums!

I'm using floatnspin keyboard and that seems to be my issue. There is a setting for web searches and once I turned that off my browser worked normally again. I guess thats a new "feature".
Had the same problem, uninstalling the app fixed it. Please flag this app in Google play so Google can know about this! If you ask me, changing the default search engine without notifying the user is pretty nasty and malicious.
FloatNSplit and A.I. keyboard seems to be the same app.

I recognized this problem at my tablet and searched for an solution. During my search I found this topic here - but unfortunately without help. So I tried everything at my Asus and as I discovered the guilty app I just shared this finding with other affected users (because I knew of this thread).
Hello XDA community. I am a long time fan of the work that you all do.
First time posting, haven't had too much of a problem with programs that I couldn't figure out. I finally found something that I am stumped with. Probably something small I'm overlooking.
I have a KLWP that I like, Hexa Tech, but I want to modify the YouTube button on the music home screen to open only a link to YouTube, specifically the subscription side. However it will only open up the YouTube app. It's locked so I can't edit anything in the shortcut menu.
Am I screwed or is it something simple? Keep in mind it is 3am here. >_>

EDIT: I fixed it. Amazing what sleep can do for you. I had YouTube set as primary entertainment launch. Disabling the app now allows me to go to a set Url instead of opening the app.
Can you do something with your forum front page?
I have adlblock installed and even with the adblock, this is how your front page looks like.
And you are asking people to disable their adblocks?

Maybe it's your browser that causes the problem? You didn't mention which one on which device you use. Xda has also a forum app without adds but you know, adds are required since the forum isn't a paid one and servers aren't free these days
not having this issue. what's your browser?
Yeah, the forum is kinda hard to navigate around (at least for me), but that's pretty bad. Can you try to do it in the app?
