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.
So, I have N.O.V.A 2 on my phone (g2) and on my iPad 2.
I hardly play it on my phone though because I LOVE the gyroscope aim control on the ipad. I still swipe to aim, but the gyroscope helps with fine tuning my aim.
Anyways... I was wondering what setting people were using for gameplay on there g2? I'm just looking for as smooth control as possible. Please include sensitivity settings too.
Thanks!

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.

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

Hey, I just rooted my HTC one v and now when I'm running games, mostly Camelot, the game will go really slow for a second and then an error will keep coming up saying "unfortunately, wallpaper has stopped working" I select okay, but then it keeps coming up and is making most games unplayable, please help! Would love to be able to play a game for more than five minutes!

Fyi I'm on an HTC One V with titanium kernel 3.0.36 and MyOneV rc5.0 fx Rom

I have determined that it's whatever program(ie wallpaper,weather, etc) that is running on my lockscreen that crashes while Im playing games. If I disable weather or wallpapers it fixes the problem but then I have no lockscreen, so I press my power button to turn the screen on and all I have is a status bar and a blank screen. I have to use the status bar pull down and settings to get out of that screen.

All of my Android games play in portrait mode like riptide, sine mora, crazy taxi, etc. I don't know what's causing this. I don't think it's the rom which I'm on cyanogenmod. Could it be the sixaxis app cause I made a profile for sine mora and started doing it. I have wiped cache and dalvik cache which it stops doing it but when I enable sixaxis games start going into portrait mode again. I just want to be able to use sixaxis with games in landscape mode. Everything else like the browser and email work with the screen rotation

You don't have rotation locked do you? Most games will force landscape regardless. Emulators typically have settings for landscape you have to setup first.
Some market apps can control and force landscape for everything. So make sure all of those are uninstalled too.

I have rotation screen enabled. So if I use like the web browser it rotates both ways. It's just that landscape games play in portrait mode with sixaxis enabled and using a profile
