Anybody know if there is a launcher which allows you to save different layout settings for portrait and landscape? On my Nexus 7, I use it 50/50 each way, and when I view it in landscape the row/columns are all out of alignment - and vice versa.
I would like it to be able to adjust layout depending on how the device is held. Perhaps, maybe adjusting the margins and spacing between icons? Is this a feature on any launcher out there?
Thanks.

I'm trying to cram a couple wigdets and icons onto the same same for my Epic 4G, and I noticed something when I was trying out Launcher Pro: the bottom control icons didn't have titles under them, and as a consequence, Launcher Pro is able to fit 5 control widgets on one line.
Is there any app/workaround out there that allows you to change the grid size of your display from 4x4 to 5x5 or to hide the text that is below the app icons to provide more app space?
mission possible! you need to be a hacker http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=697994
good luck
Don't you just need to change the number of rows and columns in the LauncherPro homescreen settings? Unless you're talking about something different.

There is an app called lcd density I believe and it makes it possible to fit more

LCD density just changes the DPI, so things look bigger or smaller. It doesn't affect the placement of shortcuts or widgets. Like Jumba said, you can change everything you've mentioned in Launcher Pro. It's the main reason I use it over Sense.
Hey guys I have tried several launchers but I want to have a launcher that I could align the widgets in a different fashion in landscape from portrait?
I have customized and aligned all my widgets to look perfectly in landscape mode.
However I do not always want to use my tab in landscape mode. When I flip to portrait mode all widgets look discombobulated and out of order. is there any suggestion for this pet peeve?
its something Impossible though , as the both sides are connected together you can't just do that , only if you are using 2 launchers then you can modify them . that is why samsung made our stock launcher use default rows and columns ..
I guess I have no choice but to deal with it

Well, technically you could try somthing like this;
have adw launcher for portrait and adw ex for landscape
set them both up for how you like, then you could use tasker to change launchers when the tab is put into landscape mode.
This is all theoretical of course, it could work, but i know nothing about tasker so cant really help you at all
Well it's a shot in the dark but ill try it out.... Thanks thanks for the suggestions

Hi all, does anyone know of an android launcher that has discrete layouts for portrait vs landscape orientations? Kind of like how ics does it now, but something I can install on gingerbread? When I'm in landscape mode my icons are all smooshed together due to the vertical vs. horizontal grid spacing being the same for both. I've done a search for this off and on when I remember for the past few months or so but can never find anything. Is it that hard to implement?
Thanks!

Is there any Launcher out there that got the feature to change homescreen based on orientation?
I currently have my device locked on Landscape because I feel it looks better and I can fit more stuff on it. But with the same number of columns and rows in Portrait makes everything look bad and squished, if I use less rows and columns in Portrait then most of the apps and widgets are hidden and it still looks bad.
So the best would be to have 2 different homescreens depending on the orientation, I currently use Apex but I couldn't find a feature like that. Sure I could just scroll manually to another screen but that's just annoying and it's easier to lock it to landscape in that case.
sslauncher the original (market link) can do that nicely. It doesn't have XxY layouts, everything is freely arangeable (with guidelines). There's also a free version, which should have the same functionality to try first.
Not exactly what I was looking for, I was looking for the standard launcher but with orientation based homescreens. But this one looks really nice, will try it out for a while thanks.
orientation homescreen
only one i have been able to find is on Cyanogenmod 10.x launcher application name is Trebuchet 1.0

I need to use CM for Trebuchet, my device is not supported so that's not possible.
Also on my old device which was supported I couldn't find that function either, Trebuchet can auto-rotate but you can't set default homescreen depending on rotation.
For example, in Apex Launcher I can set Landscape to have 10x10 grid and potrait to have 5x5, the problem with doing that is that all apps and widgets that are set on a grid that is beyond 5y or 5x will disappear in potrait and everything will look bad.
What I want is to use homescreen number 1 as default for landscape and homescreen number 2 as default for potrait, that way I can make them look good on their own orientation.
The launcher should switch to the correct homescreen when I change orientation. I have tried like 15 launcher and haven't seen this function yet.
