Is it possible to have the xperia play locked in landscape mode at all times? Ive tried every app on the market and some of them hardly work, i find itso much easier to use the device in landscape mode, if anyone can help i will be much apreciated.

Just leave the gamepad open if you don't mind that. Or get another launcher

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.

I downloaded it online to test it (and check it works on the defy with launcher pro) and after that I bougt it. Awsome app.
Love to have widget on the lock screen
Ok I'll try it and I must say it's quite cheap after all

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

I actually use launcherpro and it's perfect, good performance and nice effects.

Finally installed widgetlocker and I must say that's a great software. The only thing I'm missing is a way to launch it directly from a shortcut; anyone knows if it's possible?

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.

I use Widget Locker and it's quite good, there are a lot of themes available and it works good in almost all the case. I found only a little glitch, when you put the phone in airplane mode you have to unlock two times cause the stock lockscreen appears after you unlock with widget locker. The previous sentence is a mess lol.
Just wondering if there is a way to set the home screen to landscape mode without having the gameplay out?
* gamepad, stupid auto correct!

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 :-/

Maybe we will get it in the next update? Anyway I'm kinda getting into java, so I might try something, but it might take a while

Hi, i would like to know if it's possible to resize the keyboard in landscapemode, because when I'm using whatsapp etc. it covers more than half of the screen.
A noobfriendly way to make it work would be awesome guys

Yeah it is quite big eh... Just tried it now. But maybe as the phone is large there is no need to use landscape on it.
The portrait on this is like landscape on an Iphone lol

That's true but I'm used to write in landscapemode cause i have big thumbs so it would be really nice if someone found a way

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
