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.
Hello, please i need help how to remove the car mode because its enabling all the time automaticly, i deleted carmode apk from the sys but it still showing up...(u can see it in status bar)

Launch the car mode app and hit exit car mode. Its one of the big buttons. It should not be starting itself automatically... what rom are you using?
I know but i deleted that apk and it still showing off on status bar and when i click on it i get to home screen because of missing apk. But i got it, settings/locations and untick first option....i think that was a problem.

Check your USB port. It could just be dirt shorting the contacts.

What does that have to do with anything?

The usb port is very sensitive to voltage change. And a piece of dirt can trigger the car mode because it thinks the car charger is plugged in.

Anyone tried to see if the incoming / outgoing call screen can be landscape as well as the normal portrait.
Always bugged me in the car that it wont go landscape on my Desire.

Thanks for letting me know.

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.
Mark.
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
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.
.
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

I'm currently waiting on delivery of the D110 HTC car dock. Didn't really do my research thoroughly and only just discovered it doesn't appear possible to change the default navigation app from either HTC locations or google maps. As I have paid for sygic and rate it highly does anyone know of a work around to have it as the default in car mode.
Thanks in advance.

I use CarHome ultra with sygic. I don't have car dock but, CarHome auto launches when my Bluetooth connects to phone. I set it as default app when in car mode so it launches instead of HTC's car
