[Q] Rotate app - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've just seen the new desires to be released, like the one with a hard keyboard, but was wondering if there was an app or a mod to allow landscape rotation, and for it to stay that way without reverting to portrait. Something like a landscape only view.?
And to stop opening multiple threads, any news on porting a evo-style keyboard to desire? With the arrows? OJ is awfully awful.

No rotation for Sense

Nothing for AOSP either? I would just like something that locks the screen into landscape, like what you can do with the browser. I know a few screens need portrait, but I'm fed up of my phone not knowing when to rotate when I want, like when texting etc.

[Q] Gingerbread Keyboard

Gingerbread Keyboard for Rooted Devices
Gingerbread Keyboard is out for the DroidX and Droid2. Are there any developers that can help get it ported to the Incredible??
I flashed it and it works on the inc too.
Roger that, its working for me. Its taking a bit to get used to the keys in landscape mode though. They seem a bit flat.

Lock orientation at landscape

Yo XDA,
just wanted to ask if it's possible to lock orientation in landscape mode? I'm running the latest Cyanogen mod. I know it won't be compatible with all apps, but browser, music player and launcher is 'nuff for me.
Thx in advance!

Yes It's possible menu settings adwlancher system preference sensor mode (the last voice)
Browser has an option to lock landscape. Other than that no unfortunately. I tried a few months ago but failed.

On CM go settings>cm settings>display, and check only 90 degrees rotation.

Thanks for letting me know.
That'll be my first app request sorted then.

It may well be built in but not enabled without the dock. There are contacts on the right side which tell the device which mode to go into so if the phone is placed in an official car dock (with the contacts) then it may go into a landscape mode thats not otherwise available.
Of course the docks arent available yet so theres no way of testing the theory lol.

How to force landscape homescreen?

Hi!
landscape mode works only in some apps. You will not get landscape mode in homescreens, unless you have a custom ROM installed and have LeeDroid Tweaks.
Greetings
Putti
But it actually happened yesterday! I had landscape homescreen with all icons positioned on right of the screen and widgets resized accordingly...
[EDIT] I am running custom ROM Android Revolution HD

Hello, i have a non-rooted phone and also got it a copple of times.
On the home screen i suddenly had a landscape screen.
Once turned back to portrait, it did not go back to landscape again.
After searching i found a forum message about an app called 'Rotate'.
this app can force autorotate, so the landscape also works on the homepage.
1 problem, you can try it some time and then you have to pay for it (only $1.99)

If your using apex launcher you can go into advanced settings and pick auto rotate or landscape only, if your using stock sense then I havn't got a clue

HTC Sense doesn't allow the homescreens to rotate at will, generally the home screens are locked into portrait viewing.
I have seen screen shots of the phone homescreen in landscape, I think it's just a glitch... as you said, it's reverted back now and won't do it again.
Unless forced with an app etc...

HTC Sense doesn't allow the homescreens to rotate at will, you have to edit the rosie.apk to get it to work as you've already said.
So it doesn't work as standard.
I have a car dock for my One X, and when it sits in the car dock it is also possible to see the homescreen(s) in landscape mode.
Here is an example:

So it is possible and I find it strange that HTC doesn't allow it when using the device normally.
Rotate HTC 1 X homepage
I found this app on the Play Store " Rotation Locker" on another forum. It has worked for me but try it your selves.

This app works but...
Hey...even i was searching for some app or mod through which i can get my homescreen in landscape mode while the phone rests in my "new KiDiGi desktop charger" :silly:
So i came across the apps mentioned above.... "Rotation Locker" and "Ultimate Rotation Control"
Rotation locker was a free app but it did not work fully...like the lock screen used to be in portrait only...and the app sometimes flickered between portrait and landscape mode...so i uninstalled it....
Ultimate Rotation Control is amazing...it works perfectly for me...the only issue that it is a 7-day trial after which i would be asked to pay $2 (almost Rs.110 here in India)...
i would not mind paying money to the developer...but since i have a rooted phone with Android Revolution HD 9.4.1 ROM, i was just thinking is there any custom tweek developed for this ROM which can help me get rid of these Third party apps for rotation control....
Does anyone know about any such tweak for rooted HTC One X??
I have another query...i want to know if there is any tweak/app through which i can get my screen to wake up when a new SMS/Whatsapp/mail comes?? basiacally to wake up the screen in case of any notification...
Thanks a lot in advance
