Inspired by the post asking about different wallpapers depending on screen orientation...
Is there any way we can set up separate keyboards depending on screen orientation? For instance, swype withs great with portrait, but in landscape mode it's pretty useless.
Any thoughts?
Great request...
I would use Swype for portrait mode and HTC_IME for Landscape...
Is there any way to change this? It defaults to landscape, and portrait Apps display "sideways" instead of showing up in portrait on the screen like other devices....
anyone? its pretty annoying to have portrait apps appear sideways on a TV...
I borked something... For some reason when my keyboard (any keyboard that uses full screen) goes full screen the font color is changing to white. If it wasn't for the white background this would not be an issue. This happens in landscape, but portrait doesn't go full screen so it works fine.
Does anyone have any idea on how to change the font color in full screen only?
As a work-a-round I have installed a keyboard manager that changes the keyboard based on orientation. I am using SlideIt in landscape and FlexT9 in portrait. Occasionally I use hackers keyboard, but having same issue there. I have a habit of switching keyboards depending on my needs at that time.

What do you mean, ''keyboard that uses full screen''? Can you give an example of which keyboard app, which editor app (does it happen when you post on this forum, for example?), and what do you do to make it ''go full screen''?
(By the way, I am using Hackers' Keyboard. All the keys are there, and you can move the cursor with onscreen keys.)
In landscape using hackers keyboard or flext9, when the keyboard expands the entry field goes from web page/ app/ entry field to the fill screen mode where the keyboard takes up half the screen and the other half is a separate input screen, not the web page view.

Hello!
Can somebody confirm that icons (for settings etc ) in stock camera, even with autorotate is on, are always in landscape mode if you turn on camera when holding phone in "portrait" mode! They would autorotate if you lean your phone in landscape (only to the left) and than back to portrait!
Stock JB, without modification before and after, factory reset before and after upgrade to JB!
Thanks in advance!
I don't quite understand the question, because the way I see it I can't believe you've asked.
If you hold you phone (whilst in camera) landscape, then the buttons are going to rotate to landscape.
If you hold you phone in portrait, then the buttons are going to be orientated for portrait.
Otherwise your buttons are going to be the wrong way when you rotate?

No, if i use my phone i portrait position, and if i go into camera my icon are oriented like in landscape mod, by 45 degrese, to enable autorotate for icons i nead to lean phone to landscape (only to left) , and than portrait mode orientation for icons is good!

Hi.
As keyboard I am using "Hackers Keyboard". 4 Row only.
I'd like to use HK as a full screen keyboard in Landscape mode, meaning in Landscape there should be only the keyboard (big) and a textbox where I am writing currently. I Portrait it should be "normal" keyboard and everything else visible (textbox, background, other text, etc).
How can I achieve that the keyboard is "big with textbox" in Landscape?
Currently it does the same as in Portrait, big keyboard and a little gap between keyboard an the upper screen. On some apps, this is not enough to display a textbox. On others it is enough.
