Any ideas? Landscape is a big feature for me, but I'd like to get some of the new stuff from 2.5 as well. So... is there any guess as to when landscape will work with more than two tabs?
Landscape sorta works on 2.5 (at least on Shadowline's ROM). SMS/Emails both go into landscape mode when typing with the keyboard. And Opera goes into landscape when the keyboard is slid open but it doesn't rotate with the G-sensor.
So it pretty much works where it counts. For example, landscape on the home screen is of little consequence.
Edit: I should mention that not all 2.5 ROMs work as well. I had some trouble with a Valkyrie ROM locking up when rotating back and forth between landscape and portrait. But the bottom line is that it does kinda work on some ROMs.
Thanks, I know it "kinda" works but I was wondering if anyone had any idea when it would "really" work.
since Manila 2.5 wasn't developed for a phone with a slide-out keyboard, i don't think we'll be seeing landscape support for a while. but who knows, a cook could figure out how to tweak it and have it working.

Hey everyone,
i just wanted to know, how can i make the HD's screen go Landscape whenever i want to?
tnx
Hi,install HD tweak,activate rotation screen ( 17.8) and choose left softkeys to rotate the screen . Otherwise you can use,gsen,gyrator,mobile magic to choose which application you want to rotate .
Thank you very much Marcdu81!!
But . . . Manila look like rubbish in landscape. Unless you have the newer version installed. Dutty 1.8 & 1.9 contain it. and the newer ROMs by more cooks have it in newest products. But the problem is, although it is faster, works in landscape and has a nice calendar tab, most mods and tweaks for the older Manila don't work for it; including like color topbar, 15 tabs, icons and backgroundforallpages don't work. So for time being its a mixed blessing. But give it a bit of time New versions of all the old tweaks and mods will be available eventually.
Hey
when i prees the option to rotate the screen to landscape mode, it works great, but after i get out of the "Settings" screen it goes back to portrate mode...
why is that?
is it any related to the device Rom?

i dont know what Dutty Roms are...\=
thanks for your answers!
Hi, can somebody help me to answer my question?
I like to have a landscape theme (mode), but I don´t know how to do it.
I´ve heard, that there is no way to get a landscape unless I flash my phone to another rom, what I actually don´t want, because the phone is still under garanty.
Is it true or does it gives another way to get a landscape?
I would like this too, going landscape without having to install a new ROM or something.
I use AEB+ to map the OK button to rotate 90 degrees (and back) so with a double press on that key I get rotate whenever I want. I did not want an automatic rotate like with gyrator.
AEB+ is shareware but the non-registered works great and has almost 100% functionality:

Thx for your Info,
but the rotation is not a propblem it´s an secondary issue.
I can rotate my screen, but than I will get just the half of the screen, means only the clock on the left side and on the other half side I don´t get anything.
So, the question is, is it possible to get a "theme" or a cab of "manilas" to have the possibility to change the screen with a nice view, without to change the rom?
Hi I was wondering if any of the roms you guys know about have a landscape dialer or is there a way to add one into any rom?
I use my phone for satnav a lot and at the moment when i get a call it changes the orientation to portrait which is annoying.
hello @all!
Any solution for this problem?

If the phone is in landscape mode, and an incoming call, the phone switches back to portrait.
The dailer does support landscape, though: if you are in portrait and switch to landscape, the dailer is OK.
Does anyone know a way to make the dailer come up OK in landscape?

grEEtZ,

Same problem for ages here. I tried to get advice several times here, but it seems, that noone is using xperia in this usecase. Only working solution is a ROM having Rhodium dialer (and it seems, that it must be correct version of the dialer or correct combination with winmo version) - I was using EnergyROM which was working excellent this way, until October builds. I tried to find another rom, but everyone out there has the problem (except original X1 dialer of course). Now I'm using 826x non-htc rom, which has also rhodium dialer and landscape is working fine.
hope this helps
Well i've got the cure. Not sure about puting it into a rom thought.
I have the verizon thunderbolt.
So this is the only phone i've tested it on.
You can get the car home ultra licence app.
The link below is for the free one. Not sure if it has the option but the paid one does.
Hint:try 4shared.com
The one with the litte red car as the icon shortcut.
Inside this app's options it has a check box to turn on car home
which came with the phone. It acts like you put it into a car dock from verizon.
And guess what the dialer is now landscape. So when you use this app
when your driving you can put a shortcuts on the app to call or open the phone.
It is in LANDSCAPE. It took me since the phone came out till today to find this
to work. Hope this helps anybody with a thunderbolt. and i bet other androids too.

How can we get landscape mode on home screen in sense?
Use LauncherPro
sense doesn't do landscape. unless someone makes a mod for it or something it wont happen with sense. you'll have to use a different homes creen like mentioned above.

The My Touch 3g Slide Sense does.... Back when I had a Hero, Zen ported over the MT3G ROM and it was instantly my daily. Sense's Rosie rotates like it should...
With the EVO having a kickstand and all, I figured this landscape Sense was a lock.
Anyway, I use ADW Launcher instead of sense now.
Moved as not software or theme.
switch in there somewhere.
there has to be a switch in there to do landscape. when i was playing with the evo one day i threw it on the bed don't know what i pressed but when i looked at it, it was in landscape. The bottom bar was stretched out to the edge of the screen. The apps you have on screen same spacing between them except at the sides which had more spacing. Been trying to duplicate what i did with no luck so far.
Is there some kind of cvar/mod/hack/.. to change the default orientation from portait to landscape?
In AOSP only ofc.
no ideas about that? :/
You could try putting your phone into landscape then turning orientation off.
That is the only easy way I know of to keep it that way, if you use a widget then you can easily turn it back on when you want to change back.
it goes back to porttrait immediately when disabling auto-rotate. (via a homescreen widget)
any further ideas?
shouldnt there be a way to do so since the motorola droid has everything in landscape when hw-keyboard is open?
can some dev please give his opinion on this please?
just wanted to add that after trying landscape mode for a while, I think it would be annoying as the default or only layout option since it requires two hands pretty much for even the most simple use.
portrait allows thumb (if you're talented) or index finger (if you're flexible) single handed tapping usage.
i prefer landscape mode in all situations. i always hold my hero sideways but dont want to wait like 2 sec for it to turn around.
so again, is there a way for doing this?

since the silence here is suggesting that no developers are going to (or are able to) help you out, I suggest you try playing with the slide rom that has sense rotation enabled.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=666640
it's not perfect, cant' record video, some issues that eventually always make me want to switch back (notably if you use exchange the contact list doesn't join contacts from exchagne email, gmail email, and active directory email... but it should and does in non-slide roms).
But it has the fastest launcher screen rotation of any hero rom I've used, faster than vanilla + launcherpro and far more stable in how it senses screen rotation. it's a sense rom that is actually designed to work as well landscape as portrait.
it doesn't rotate instantly, but it's noticeably faster turning (for me using only it's built in array of sense widgets) if you want to use horizontal layout. And it stays in place better - you know how annoying it is when launcherpro has rotation enabled and you move your phone a bit and suddenly it's redrawing sideways for the next 6 seconds... well I haven't found that to be much of an issue in that slide rom.
There are still a couple of parts that dumbly don't rotate, or at least not in the default settings I tried (contacts for example and settings are I think still portrait - stupid mistakes on HTC's part).
If you nandroid first or bart first if you use an ext partition then you have no worries in flashing the above rom to at least give it a try.
This is one area where the new iphone seems to win out I'm afraid - it's launcher screen rotation is really nice, animated, quick, stable and very useful.
Dammit LoL
good luck, post your findings please!
thank you for your effort but that rom you suggested does not meet my requirements and i cant say that i like the modified rosie that is used here. :/

that's fair
At least I tried
If an actual rom developer had a solution for you it would be more interesting!
have you considered talking to one of the 3rd party launcher developers? such as the guy who makes launcherpro, the adw guy(s), and so on?
Maybe that is where your solution lies?
That combined with maybe talking to one of the cyanogenmod developers themselves (who aren't hero-specific, you'd have to google their home website)?
Cyanogenmod might be able to add an option for 90 degree rotation only (with no zero degree switching). or at least show you how to change it yourself.
Good luck!
I apologize if there are threads about this; I searched but did not find anything.
I recently got the official car dock for the Evo. I'm really happy with it, and how with CM6 almost everything rotates into landscape.
The major exception to this seems to to be the phone application (like during a call) - the dialer does change orientation properly.
Is anyone aware of any sort of fix to make the phone application change its orientation? It's pretty annoying that it stays in portrait and is sideways.
Thanks!
Like many others I use Dialer One because it looks cool AND you can search contact names by typing on the keypad, which you cannot do with the AOSP dialer.
Another benefit of Dialer One?? Yes, it rotates
When you place a phone call with Dialer One, does that show in landscape, or is it still portrait only?

Sorry man, I misunderstood (despite you being very specific about it)
The dialer does landscape but as soo as it starts the call the phone app opens and reverts to portrait
No worries. That's what I figured. It seems like there isn't any way, that I can find at least, to get the phone app to show in landscape. I have to admit I find it a bit odd, seeing as most other apps have no issues. Oh well...
