Hello, is there a way which allows me to force launching an app in portrait mode? In fact, I use the Touchwiz camera and every time I launch it from portrait mode the app will take about one second to set itself to landscape mode before I can use it. I know that this is not a big deal but it would be better that if it does launch in portrait mode to save that one second.

Hey guys. I was wondering if there is a way/app that will enable me to use swype while is portrait mode and HTC_IME mod in landscape mode. I'm aware that you can just change it urself when you switch, but it would be nice to have it switch automatically when you rotate the phone.
For me it seems swype is nice for quick texts, but I cant stand the portrait swype keyboard and its nice to go portrait for web browsing and long posts/emails. Thanks for the help =)
I would like to know this a well. I think the answer is "no"

Is there an app available where we can choose what apps we can rotate and not rotate. Plus this app would also need to force rotate the apps that only rotate to one certain way in landscape and not the other. Thank you..

What k0sh it trying to say, is there isn't an app that does that. However, there is the shortcut in the status bar (Samsung roms only) that allows you to force the phone into one orientation only.

The reason I ask is I grabbed a netflix apk and that one rotates to wich ever way I have the screen. The original one that I grabbed from the market did not. So I was trying to see if I could have all my apps do that. But from what you guys said I guess its not available yet. Thank you both for the response..
Topic.
How can I modify the system orientations -- lets say I want my four softkeys at the top of my phone rather than on the bottom of my phone in portrait mode. (as in permanently)
Anybody have any clue?

Hello, I tried the PRO 12.2 in a store. Under the landscape mode, the virtual keyboard takes half the screen. I tried the split keyboard under both landscape and portrait modes and found the keys to small. Is it possible to change the size of the keys?
Also, under portrait mode, sometimes the delete or erase key does not work. What is the problem?
Thanks.
You can download another keyboard on the play store, but I think you can't change that on the Sammy keyboard.

Thanks. Know any good keyboards that allow the user to change the size of the keys?

SwiftKey
The keys are as large as they are for a reason. Touch typing in landscape mode takes some practice but works really well on the stock keyboard and the inclusion of the symbols on the keyboard is fantastic. I highly recommend giving it some time before switching.

Yes you can change it. I dont know how much you will like the results though. try downloading exposed and using the app settings module you can download from there. You can slightly lower the dpi for the keyboard until it hits your sweet spot. It will change the ENTIRE keyboard size though.you can probably go down 20-40 dpi without much negative impact though. Try hackers keyboard and smart keyboard pro as well. Both of those are highly customizable. Smart keyboard lets you do alot with the size.

By the way, just to let you know, I tried the Swiftkey keyboard and it started freezing up my note. I had to uninstalled. I also think the keyboard is to big, I'll try out the suggestions before my comment.

Yup, I tried swiftkey and swipe but ended back at the stock keyboard. Both were buggy for me. I'm starting to wish for the ability to have control over the dictionary for stock.
Hi,
Some apps can only be used in landscape mode. This is annoying as I am using also my phone in landscape mode.
Is there a trick (using tasker for example) or an app that could force these apps to be used in landscape as well as in portrait?
Regards, Chris
Ultimate Rotation Control is the app you are searching for

Hi,
With this app, you can set landscape manually only.
I am looking for a way to have the app going in landscape automatically when the smartphone sensor notice that I am in landscape mode.

No, with the app you can set auto mode itself in the app. Select Auto (full)
