I 've been reading the forums and updated my tablet to JB P3113 but I cannot take this Portrait screen any longer.....great ROM but my perference would be landscape.....is it a way to affect this??
Purchase ultimate rotation from market. Otherwise, no, sadly.

I'll take a look and let you know what's up with it. Thanks for the reply.
Why in the HELL would you make it to were you can only use the tab in portrait mode, that is just plane STUPID!! I'm not about to install/pay for an app that will give me landscape mode.. I'm not about to "downgrade" my tablet. WTF is up w/Google anyway.. no text reflow, & now we have to look at photos & web pages like it's 1995!? :crying:
Sorry.. rant off, Phil B.
P.S. I tried CM10.. not a fan of the way it looks/runs!.. I just like all the "stock" Samsung apps & the way it's setup/looks..

Calm yourself.. hehe..
I think youve got yourself a bit mixed up or Im not understanding you, but the Galaxy TAB IS both portrait and landscape and unlike the Asus Nexux 7, the homescreen can even be landscaped. If your tablet isnt landscaping, goto home screen, bottom right hand corner where the clock is, press the clock and a control panel should come up, make sure "autorotation" is switched ON, in green. Im also sure theres a seting in the Settings menu to make it permanent Landscape, but it looks great in Portrait too for your kindle and KOBO apps and Newspapers.
Just turn it on its side and it rotates landscape.. you can even turn it upside down - samsung logo at the top and it keeps rotating..
Hope that helps

Would a custom launcher work like Apex?

Yeah the OP could try that or if your into your Widgets and Apps and custiomisation.. GO Launcher EX is nice as well and all launchers are free, its just the Skins and the High end apps you gotta pay for.
NightOrchid,
I've been reading that Jelly Bean (4.1.1) is "stuck" in portrait mode & to get landscape you have to install/use an app to get the screen to rotate!? I'm currently on ICS 4.0.4 UEBLH2 P3113 US Ver w/IR blaster, & use the tab strictly in landscape mode.
Anyway, I might check it out when our (USA) JB is leaked.. if it works & is faster & smoother than ICS I'll switch, if not.. :crying: lol
Later, Phil B.

Oh right, then Ive misunderstood it,I havent done alot of reading around on JB and I actually didnt realise that it had that limitation, i thought it was actually something that ASUS had done. Apologies OP., maybe Samsung might change that hopefully, like yourself Phil Im on the same XXBLH2 but for P3110 UK/ If this is the case, I might not consider JB, I like Landscape mode.
I think you could use cm10 (jelly bean) screen rotation work and try also go launcher HD for tabs or apex or nova screen rotation works good for me

The CM10 Rom for JB has a UI patch that will rotate the home screen into tablet mode with no problem and it works for the AOSP Rom. The AOKP Rom for JB has a setting in the ROM Control where you can force table mode. This works beautifully. I also like the Samsung apps and the widgets that make the tablet look more interesting. When the time comes that we can rotate our GT -P3113 stock Rom to tablet mode for the home screen then I will switch back to stock. As of now I am doing my daily with AOSP's new Rom that's running excellent.

I've tried a couple of different launchers....Ii would prefer the tablet mode where the notifications are at the bottom on the right hand side. Just a personal preference. I've owned a couple of tablets and have always did all my (tableting) in landscape mode. Now the whole experience has changed with flipping the tablet back and forth, I'm just not liking it. It's one of those small things that now that the light is shinning on it, it now makes a bigger difference than I thought in the beginning.
I'm just glad to hear I'm not the only one who HATES the idea of using such a capable, conveniently sized device in portrait mode! Let's hope Samsung adds landscape to Touchwiz!?

mini-app is a unique thing to the Galaxy Tab 2, so it would have to be developed as a mini-app.Right now, the only mini-apps that are available are the Samsung ones. because it is a proprietary of samsung (like the IR blaster) so the only thng you can do is port it. but it requires touch wiz ux frame work so the whole rom should be ported and it is a difficult thing.
It'ss impossible because it need Samsung's framework that' diferent from Android original (CM9 one)
Could always DL equivalent min apps and use something like sidebar launcher to launch them. Tiny apps has a few like floating apps like calc, notes, and music controls. Also their is floating browser, popcorn player, and many more.
Screen with sidebar launcher, and some floating apps running

Hi everyone.
Yesterday i updated from stock 4.0.3 ROM to a 4.1.2 ROM and i noticed right away that there was a quality loss in all small font.
It´s specially visible in the notification area.
I been trying all sort of ROMS, and ALL are the same.
The first ROM i tried was the oficial Siberia samsung 4.1.2 release. Then i tried the Samsung 2.0 from the devolopers section, and now the Zap Blaster wich is 4.1.1.
All are the same, i can´t get back the clear font i used to have in notification and in apps that use small fonts, this is very bad when there´s dark background.
Any idea why this happens? Anyone else noticed this? Is there a workaround?
Should i take pictures to show you?
Hi all, new to this groups as I've only last night paid for and installed AppRadioUnchainedRootless and from what I've tried to do to get my phone mirrored, ARUR is simple to use and amazing!
Was just looking for personal favourites or recommendations to a different launcher? I've downloaded Apex and Nova, both pretty cool! Only issue I'm having Is I find the icons really small on my SPH DA120, even the same on the normal samsung standard os (Samsung s8)
Does anyone know a way or suggestions to get icons bigger?
I've seen YouTube videos and the icons and text seem to be a nice manageable size! I've tried options on my phone, thinking about it, haven't tried options when I've got my phone linked up to my headunit.. suggestions, personal favourites, tips appreciated
