It's just a matter of programing it to listen to the accelerometer and trigger landscape when its over 50 degrees...now if only someone could do that
as stated before use a different launcher
pro launcher does it, etc.
In the US, if you insert power (micro usb) then headphones, it'll go into landscape... and stay in it some times until you cycle putting the headphones in and out a couple of times...
Actually rather annoying at times...
Another launcher is truly the easiest way.

How are these comments at all usefull? If everyones attitude was "use another launcher" or "use another app" nothing would get developed here, It would be full of lazy people using "other" launchers

This is possible, A team of devs managed to program the same functionality into the desire s's htc sence ports. At first only devices with H/W keybords could get it into landscape mode, but the devs programed it to listen to the accelerometer instead

Thanks for that Andro kinda got over it anyway, just would've been cool to do what my transformer does ie. landscape to portrait depending on accelerometer, and when I saw that the play changes to landscape with the gamepad out it didn't make sense that it wouldn't do it normally :-/

Hi guys I m looking for a screen-lock customizer, but no luck yet. Suggestions?

Widgetlocker is great.
but you have to pay
I see and there is no trial version to test it, but the app seems nice.

You will not regret widgetlocker. Trust us. Its probably more stable than the lockscreen on my vibrant.

Works fine for me, actually improved performance a lot, you don't have a live wallpaper on by any chance?

in what respect? can you explain further? Where do you want this shortcut on the lock screen itself or on one of your home screens?
Sorry guys I must be blind: there's a specific shortcut created by the program itself which does exactly what I need
Thanks anyway higgsy ;-)

Is it strange that i don't use the autolocker at all? When i don't use the phone or put it in a pocket, it push the power button. That seems pretty much enough to shut the screen and block the touchscreen.
But the lockscreen would be of use if I often had a risk of something pushing the power button in my pocket...
That may be true, but I find the power button very inconvenient to use and when I need to take a quick look at the watch or missed calls without messing the screen a screenlocker is the best solution.

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)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nl.fameit.rotate&feature=search_result
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:

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

Unlock your phone, slide out the keyboard out and hold the space bar. It would put your phone in silent/vibrate and press/hold the space bar again to return back to the volume level. This somehow doesn't work if the phone is locked or in the music player.

Home screen is controlled by the launcher. Try a different launcher. Apex will not rotate the home screen by default.

ldd_recoil,
Did you try flashing the NoLockScreenRotate.zip from CWM? I removed the lock screen rotation that way. That zip file is on the OP of ptmr3's JMT thread.
This change is permanent and can't be reverted AFAIK. Do it from CWM.
I don't see why you can't just toggle auto rotation off to solve your problem....

Well, that's one way to fix it... I rarely like rotating because it's so freggin sensitive on our phones.
But for some people that rotate a lot... say browsing a webpage rotated, and their phone goes to sleep, it's rather a nuisance seeing the lockscreen on its side (imho)
I will upload a zip that stops it from rotating the lock screen if you would like

I would appreciate that thanks for your help. I am using Apex now, but lockscreen still rotates, and yes is very sensitive... bad news when trying to answer a call from your pocket sometimes.
The reason I can't just "shutoff" auto rotate is because I still use it in web browsing, in fact that was my original question.... Other Roms/OS's I've had have let me choose which ones rotate without having to constantly switch on/off
Ok I wish I could upload through my phone but I don't know how to so I will tonight

Why does Google do such weird things all the time? I know other people have to think the same thing about why they design an OS the way they do. For instance clicking the clock in the status bar takes u to time settings instead of clock or calendar(when we all have auto time enabled)? And I'm pretty sure(at least I hope) its a bug, but the stupid new camera rotation is beyond dumb. And why they took the so much fun camera effects out, I may never know... I do love Google but just question their Dev team sometimes... sometimes a lot
But that is why we have these wonderful devs across the forums. I can't thank you guys/gals enough!!!!

The slow camera rotation is intentional. The Android Dev team spoke about it. As for camera effects, I don't know how many people actually used them. Sure, Mac users seem to use them quite a bit, but I don't know about Android users.

The rotation lag doesn't bug me too much. It usually takes a second or less to rotate. I usually know what orientation I want my picture to be, so I'll press the camera app in that orientation.

Just lock rotation when you want to use your camera, if you are using a rom with toggle rotation it wont be that hard to press a toggle.
I personally always disabled rotation, and only enabled it when i want to use it.

Another thing that bothers me is app drawer. the black background is still stuck in the Gingerbread era.
If I lock rotation to to a pic in landscape its going to take the picture in portrait but I guess u could just rotate it in the gallery... But still useless as fuhk. I'd rather deal with the lag of swiping to my pictures than the actual camera itself... Come one Google... You're better than this... Back to 4.1 camera I am
