Xda Premium updates? - About xda-developers.com

are any update of xda premium planned?
i'm using it on the tablet in landscape mode and every time when it starts it starts with portait mode and then switches into landscape - but sometimes i have to shake my tablet to change the mode from portrait to landscape.
it makes me really crazy.
one new setting switch would be nice - so we could choose fixed mode landscape or portrait.

no more development on xda premium?
was it just to make money and no more fixes/updates?

Anyone having this problem? my phone completely freezes when i close the youtube app. I have to do battery pull every time.

How to force landscape homescreen?

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.

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

(TIP) Xda app not displaying pictures.

Hi all just a quick little tip, i find if i have force gpu rendering enabled, the xda app wont display pictures. Today i found if i flip the phone to landscape and back again, the pictures will display.
Its not much but thought i would share.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Thanks man, I was getting quite bugged by that issue. I confirm turning off 'force GPU rendering' causes pictures to display fine in both orientations. With GPU rendering on, pictures didn't show up in portrait and showed when I changed the screen to landscape,but only a moment and then disappeared again. Turning it back to portrait too caused them to show momentarily and disappear again.

annoying as hell its the app in tablet mode... pretty often when you tap to pop up options the screen goes black and you have to press the power twice to go back to normal

Set Orientation App

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.
THS
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

Portait or landscape?

I know i like Portait mode myself, but what do you guys use most?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
Landscape.
portrait mode almost exclusively.
I always use portrait but since the nexus logo on the back is sideways you almost wonder if Google wants people to use it in landscape
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
It's a tablet, not a phone... so, landscape for me...
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
I like auto rotate.
Landscape, always!
So far depends on what I'm doing with it. Of course it's my first tablet ever as well so I'm still figuring things out.
Landscape for a tablet !
Landscape is harder to type on IMO opinion so if i have to type i usually just swivel it around and back again.

Indeed so. Subtle tips. Cause you'll notice it's in portrait on the original.
Personally, 95% landscape, 5% portrait.
Landscape always except for a couple of stupid apps that don't support it.
I actually find I flip it around a lot, depending on what I'm doing. I don't make sure my home screens always work in both orientations, which can be a challenge at times, but it forces me to get creative.

Both. Just depends on what I'm doing

Though I use my 10.1" tablet exclusively in landscape mode, I fond myself using the Nexus 7 (2013) mostly in portrait mode. Watching video or playing games being the main exception. When I'm in bed sometime I'll hold in in landscape also.
I though I was going to be holding it in landscape like it's bigger brother, but that's not the case.
Portrait, feels like I'm holding a book. Landscape for videos though obviously.

Portrait for the most part. Even on the web.

Portrait 80%
Landscape 20%
I used my 2012 Nexus 7 almost exclusively in portrait, I hated using it landscape. With this one though, I have found myself using landscape more and more. I think the larger bezels help and make it easier for me to reach 100% of the screen if I'm going two hands.
If I am one handing the device though,I generally use portrait. I think a lot of the reason I use landscape is to help differentiate from my portrait phone. I have also been playing a lot of games so I might have adapted so I can rotate less

Portrait most of the time and landscape for videos only. Because I'm not a retard. Lmao.
