I was wondering if there were any modified AOSP Gingerbread phone.apk's floating out there that displayed in landscape mode. I usually put my DInc sideways when mounting for GPS and it would be really great if when I received a call the icons/text were oriented so that I could read it. Thanks.
Would love to see this too.

In your contacts, go into settings and enable landscape mode.
I think it'll make the dialer and everything go landscape.
I don't see "Enable landscape mode", though I do see "Enable sensor rotation". I have that enabled already, which allows a number of the UI's to switch to landscape mode, but not the phone UI that pops up when someone calls or when I am making an outgoing call. That is the UI I'd really like to figure out how to switch.

That's what I was talking about. I assumed it would affect the dialer, too.
Guess not. Sorry. :/

hey is there a way to turn off auto rotate for just the phone dialer menu? cuz i hate when im tryin to get a girl # and i have to wait a moment because my crap didnt stay on the normal dialer .. is there any way i can fix this without turning the full phone rotate off?
Totally, I hate it when my phone ****-blocks me
Me three, mine sits sideways in the car and can't get to the keypad
You can try downloading go contacts from the market. It will install go dialer, and if you use that in landscape mode you don't lose the dialpad and your phone doesn't "**** block" you
That's so weird u started this thread, and it's actually in the Epic section.
This has been a side-nuisance i've been working on for a little while. I tried setting up a profile in Tasker that would 'disable auto rotate' for certain apps, and the dialer is the only one where it doesn't work (still auto rotates). (contacts, however, works fine and doesn't rotate)
Manually, even if I turn OFF auto rotation, the dialer still rotates, which makes me think it's a setting in the dialertabactivity.apk ?
I'll decompile that apk later today to see if I can find anything, but if anyone has any knowledge about this, I'm all ears (eyes).
Does anyone know how to get the Lock Screen and Caller ID to support landscape on CM7?
Occasionally the lock screen will display in landscape but quickly reverts to protrait.
I have seen the caller id in landscape on other roms, so it should be possible.
Thanks,
Ben
Well, when I used to have CM7, the lockscreen would go landscape for a second and the sliders would be cut up in weird ways, so I always thought it was a bug. I've never seen a landscape caller ID, do you mean landscape while in a call?
Yes,the caller id is in landscape when the phone rings and while it is on the call.

I don't know man, I've never seen that really implemented. I saw it in the advanced settings for a rom I had on my old phone like last year but I don't remember it
I was hoping that CM7.2 RC1 would have this option but it doesn't. I drive a lot and have my phone in a vent holder in a landscape position the whole time. Even when I am charging my phone in the office I have it propped up with the kickstand.
Landscape Caller ID is in CM7.2.RC1. It is under the Settings -> Call Settings -> Enable Sensor Rotation....
All I need is the locksreen to have this option and I would have the perfect rom...
I keep my Note 2 docked in my car in landscape mode. When someone calls me, it doesn't display the incoming call screen in landscape mode.
Can this be configured? If not, are there any dialer replacements I can look at as a work around? This is part of touchwiz so I'm not sure if I can even replace it.

go dialer is just that, a dialer. it will not effect the incoming call screen, incall screen, or the outgoing call screen. this is unfortunate but true. however, i feel very confident enabling landscape for the dialer/incall screen is a simple value change in some random xml file in some random place on the phones file system lol. now its just a matter of finding someone who knows which xml and what value.
Whatever, I have go Dialer and I can answer calls in landscape. Na na na boo boo, stick your head in doo doo

I've been searching for a solution to this problem for a while. Unfortunately, this is not the solution. The dialer / contacts screen are in landscape, but the actual in-call screen always reverts to profile view. This is just the same as stock. Go Dialer does not fix this problem.
LittleRedDot, if this works for you, can you please post a screenshot and let us know some other information about how you made this happen? Are you stock? If not, what rom are you using? Do you have any other rotation control apps you're using?
The only app I've seen that attempts to fix this is Ultimate Rotation Control. It DOES rotate the in-call screen to landscape, but forces the call buttons to cover 90% of the screen so you can't see caller ID or use the dial pad in-call.
- It really is frustrating...

I have to say - this one thing makes me furious with Samsung and their attention to detail. If y do any amount of driving and have every used CarHome by google you would understand how frustrating this is. Anyone find a way to make sure the in-call screen remains in landscape mode during the call?
Second question - anyone get CarHome to work correctly on the S3?
Maybe try Ultimate Scree Rotation and set the one-handed operation "Keypad & in-call buttons" setting on. Not sure if it would work, but worth a shot.
Please check out my thread below on this issue, as we found a solution a while back. My buddy Samurai was able to resolve this with some SecPhone.apk (your phone app) editing with a decompiler, and now it works beautifully. Photo shows up on the left with all your call buttons on the right. It's a bit of a pain to do if you're not familiar with decompiling/recompiling your phone's apk files, but this mod works perfectly.

Rotation Locker
I found a solution that will switch to landscape mode for incoming and outgoing call.
Incoming call and outgoing call's Portrait or Landscape setting is referred by using Home Screen's Portrait or Landscape value, so it will go into "Landscape mode" for incoming and outgoing call if you can rotate the Home Screen into "Landscape mode"!
So, "Rotation Locker" App can do it!, please download it via below link:

I can't seem to get my rotate icon to work on Developer Preview 2. I've turned off the Auto-Rotation option, but it's still not showing up. I wasn't a part of the 1st Developer Preview, but I don't think that plays a factor. Is anyone else experiencing this?

it works for me. it doesn't show up unless I rotate the phone.
I can't get it to appear for the life of me! It's driving me nuts!
if you have auto-rotate enabled in display settings, it will NOT show up. If its disabled, you should see the icon if you rotate the screeen
My auto rotate is turned off (not blue), but when I go to YouTube, for example, and attempt to rotate the phone, the rotate icon toggle doesn't appear. I cannot FOR THE LIFE OF ME figure out why.

Just tested and it appears to the far right of the home button.

It finally works. It started showing up a few minutes ago. Go figure!
still doesn't work for me, have you done anything to enable it ?
No. It just started appearing. Very odd!
Ya. I can't get it to work either. Tried everything. Hopefully mine will "just start to work" to.
I just ended up doing a clean flash and now it works.
I'm really annoyed that I can't open my phone from half way out of my pocket because it has the "don't cover the top of the screen" message. The option to turn that off is missing from settings now.
I can't use my own wallpaper because even if I change it, it still forces magazine unlock.
Receiving and taking calls makes you go to the phone app to answer calls.
Standard power saving is missing from my top menu.
I don't understand what is the deal with this update. Phone is stable, but I'm missing fairly standard features and I'm getting forced to use certain things I don't want.
You can change the lockscreen wallpaper by changing the lockscreen style to another theme. After that, you can change the wallpaper (tested using pixel launcher and setting wallpaper for lockscreen).
I just tested unlocking my phone from my pocket and works fine. Covering ambient sensor with my hand also allows to unlock via FP.
You should have a heads up notification for incoming calls.
