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.

Searched the forum and found no answers! It happened the other day - my homescreen turns landscape - but I can't get it to happen again. Any ideas?! Also, anyone find that this XDA Premium HD app FCs a lot?

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

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.

Thanks works just perfect and now its free

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

Just found this app on Google Play that allows full rotation with the Nexus 7 when on the homescreen or in any app.
The app is completely free and doesn't require root.
Check it out!

I would prefer if there was an app that moved the icons to the bottom of the screen etc instead of just rotating them and leaving them where they are.

This is normal on ICS and JB. The Galaxy Nexus behaves this way too.
The only way to accomplish this is tablet mode. Tablet mode always has the status bar at the bottom for all rotations. EOS does this and has full rotation built in.

"Ultimate screen rotation" works great as well. It's free and I believe there is a paid version too.

OP's ap works as advertised, cheap, no surprises.
(I was under impression home rotate, rotation was a big deal.)
Wanted landscape home for car mount.

I am liking the one OP posted so far.

I use ultimate screen rotation too! Works great for me!

Try sslauncher, it lets you rotate anything (even individual icons or text). Screens rotate and let's you have completely different themes in portrait and landscape. Well worth the cost for the full version.
Good find.
Not sure if you guys are aware, but homescreen rotation works with 4.1.2 with the stock launcher

All of my Android games play in portrait mode like riptide, sine mora, crazy taxi, etc. I don't know what's causing this. I don't think it's the rom which I'm on cyanogenmod. Could it be the sixaxis app cause I made a profile for sine mora and started doing it. I have wiped cache and dalvik cache which it stops doing it but when I enable sixaxis games start going into portrait mode again. I just want to be able to use sixaxis with games in landscape mode. Everything else like the browser and email work with the screen rotation

You don't have rotation locked do you? Most games will force landscape regardless. Emulators typically have settings for landscape you have to setup first.
Some market apps can control and force landscape for everything. So make sure all of those are uninstalled too.

I have rotation screen enabled. So if I use like the web browser it rotates both ways. It's just that landscape games play in portrait mode with sixaxis enabled and using a profile

Hello all,
Is it possible to force stock Movies app in landscape mode?
I've tried with Xposed App Settings, but the result was that only the entry screen was forced to landscape mode,
but the playing screen still depends on auto-rotation...
I know that opening Auto Rotation can let the screen turns to landscape mode,
but there is some problem with my Xperia S's Gyroscope,
so for most of the times even if I turn on Auto Rotation it will not rotate to landscape mode, which is very annoying
Is it possible to force the playing screen in Movies app to be in landscape mode?
Maybe decompiling the apk and change some files?
Every answer is well appreciated!:highfive:
try using app settings for xposed
or android tuner xposed module
