Landscape - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Evo landscape. I have seen it but don't know hot to do it, is it posible?

turn the phone 90° either right or left so that it is on it's side
your phone Is now in landscape
if nothing happened try doing it while running an app, or install a better rom

I currently have mikfroyo v4.4. It would be nice having landscape without using an application.

launcher pro, adw launcher will give landscape on home screen I think

Running CM7 with adw launcher, launcher pro, ect, allow you to use landscape. If you are using CM7, go into the settings and disable persistence on the screen.

Thank you for the support

Landscape view in home screen

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 a landscape mode for sense

is there a way to get sense to rotate to landscape mode? I've tried ADW and launcher pro and they both are much less smooth and responsive than sense. also the pinch out doesn't work on either you have to tap on it instead of pinching in and out with multitouch. it may not seem like much but its annoying, plus you cant use the HTC widgets with either. anyone know a workaround for this?
not with sense on the evo.

Launcherpro Plus landscape snappiness

So, I'm on mikfroyo 4.5 and I'm using the paid launcherpro. Is there a way to have it build a cache for switching between portrait and landscape mode? Switching to landscape on the home screen isnt TOO slow but it could definately stand to be faster. It looks like it removes all the icons on my screen and then replaces them currently.

I would also like to know if there is a setting I'm missing somewhere to remedy this. This happens to me using LPP on any Sense OR AOSP rom. Drives me crazy. Exactly as you describe, when it switches from landscape to portrait, the icons seem to disappear and then rebuild. It's annoying as crap. I have played around with all the settings and have yet to find anything to correct this. I never see anyone else complain of the issue, so I assumed it was my doing that was causing the problem somehow. Any suggestions anyone?
My solution: turn off rotation in Launcher Pro. I also tried this for a while but was very dissatisfied with the time it took to switch orientations, no amount of caching or keeping launcher in memory tweaks seemed to help.

Yea, that's what I did. I don't need my homescreen in landscape. I'd rather not have the slow loading.

ROM that allows landscape everywhere?

As I've posted before, half my screen currently does not function. It's quite hard for me to actually get much done on my phone, and the home screen/app drawer has been a huge annoyance for me. Is there a rom where I can go landscape, even at the home screen /app drawer?
It's not the rom that decides whether the launcher can go into landscape, it's the launcher itself. I'd say find a better launcher, I personally like Holo Launcher (which supports landscape just fine even in the app drawer)

Can't customize unless I go landscape mode

I cannot change or customize the widget unless I rotate the screen. I have tried using all the different sizes but it still won't work.
I rotated it, and chose a random widget to check it out. The size of widget is alright in landscape but when I switch back to portrait, the widget size becomes really small. I tried restarting my phone, and nova launcher but still with no luck. Oh! And I also tried nova backups but they aren't working.
