I'm on CM7, LauncherPro, and I can't for the life of me figure out how to use vertical wallpapers. I'm not a scrolling fan, so I turn it off, yet for whatever reason gallery still wants me to use a horizontal ratio. Any tips? It's ridiculous how not user friendly this is.
bump, no one tries to use portrait wallpaper?!

Running a non-rooted G2.
Anyone else notice sluggish screen rotation when going from landscape to portrait or vice versa? It seems like it takes over 1s to switch, closer to 1.5s I would say just trying to count out loud.
The only running apps I have besides the stock ones are Tasker, LauncherPro Plus, Beautiful Widgets (1 large widget on homescreen), BattStat, and SwiftKey.
Any way to adjust the speed at which the screen switches orientation?
Thanks
LP+ does have its moments where it slows down. Original launcher is nicee enough no need to replace it
I've noticed a couple glitches related to this now that I've rooted. It's slow, then it shows the icons and even on screen keyboard in smashed or stretched pixels before it changes orientation. Just for a split second but it's annoying and never did it before.
Yeah, I don't know why the automatic screen rotation is so slow with LauncherPro.
My solution for now was to disable the auto rotate under LauncherPro's Behavior Settings.
The G2 switches instantly to landscape mode for you once you slide out the physical keyboard. No lag this way, but you don't get it to change orientation unless you slide out the keyboard.
I've noticed this too! I thought I was the only one. The funny thing is that when you're in a program that needs the accelerometer there is no lag, but on homescreen there is that slight delay when rotating from portrait to landscape.
I've had this issue with SF, corrected by setting desktop scrolling speed to 0 on ADW launcher setting.
Not sure if this will work on your device.
I am attempting to accomplish a theme much like what the Dell Streak guys are doing here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=899879).
While our screens are not 5", like the Streaks, we can get roughly the same viewing size with the "LCD Density Changer" app. The app just shrinks everything, so it isn't to bad with a younger set of eyes.
If this theme was set up on our phones, then the wallpaper and Icon placement would be distorted as it were cycled through orientations.
So my question/request for an app is something to lock your home screen orientation into landscape. ADW launcher is capable of this!! However, I purchased Launcher Pro Plus, and I prefer this launcher.
All the apps out currently only lock portrait (by turning off auto-rotation). And the only Google searches I can find are a few pointing to an app that fools the phone into thinking the slide out keyboard is open. That app only works on a device that has a physical pull out keyboard.
Thanks in advance
Nm. Misread.
hey all
i would just like to start a thread talking about the motion capabilities of our phone, commenting on them, and also thinking about new motion uses that may be able to be implemented into roms!
firstly, i love the motion features on the phone, i use the zooming very often in the gallery and browser. I never use the motion to switch icons from screen to screen, particularly because i only use 1 homescreen and i use ADW and i dont think it works with ADW.
one thing that bothers me is that the two finger motion zooming does not work when you are viewing images in the camera app, you HAVE to be in the gallery app. why when you click on the image icon in the camera app it brings you to a different viewer and not the gallery, is there anyway we can change this?
maybe it would be pretty cool to be able to switch pages in a program like Google Currents by quickly flicking the phone left or right from your wrist....any thoughts?
id like to see a feature like the incredible 2 has, that when your phone rings on a table, the volume of the ringer quiets as you lift it up. i would like this in addition to the flip mode, which is pretty friggin sweet too
what great ideas for motion features do all you have? and what do you think about the current useage of it?
I was wondering if there is a launcher that preserves the size and aspect ratio of icons and widgets when you go from portrait to landscape.
I used to love how my Nokia N900 could do this. Basically you would arrange where your apps/widgets were on the screen separately in
portrait and next in landscape. Then instead of your typical rotating transition from portrait to landscape, where often the widgets become
distorted, the screen image would flip about an axis so it appeared as if the apps/widgets for landscape and portrait were on opposite sides of a plane that made
up the screen. Not sure who originally came up with this idea but developers for maemo os Incorporated
this for N900 after Nokia dropped support for the device...
Hi guys! So here's the deal. When I try to set a wallpaper from my gallery I have basically two choices.
1. It fits in landscape but gets chopped off top and bottom in portrait.
2. It fits in portrait but is very zoomed in in landscape.
I want it to be full picture in landscape without zooming but also completely fill in portrait. I know it's possible because the stock wallpaper behave exactly how I imagine it. Why not my own pictures? Is there an app for that?
Simple live wallpaper. Download it and problem solved. You should search for a solution first before posting a new topic. Good luck

Or use square wallpapers. Preferably 2560x2560 wallpapers.
That way no black bars when using protrait
