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.

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

Hmmm have you tried using a stock rom?

Auto focus doesn't work for me either. it SEEMS to be working on video mode, but definitely doesn't work on photo mode. I believe it has never been working for me, and I always thought why doesn't samsung phone camera autofocus well like my low end HTC phone (HTC One V). I'm on AOKP nightly, which is actually pretty stable right now.
On HTC phone, even when just previewing the pictures to be taken, it autofocuses when the camera gets closer to an object, but this one doesn't do anything. When I press the shutter button, it takes and sometimes focuses correctly, sometimes blurry (especially when too close to the object, which is not a problem with HTC phone). I can long press the shutter key and i will be able to see if it focuses or not before releasing the key, but why doesn't this adjust right away when preview is shown without touching the shutter key?

Photosphere on non-Nexus devices with the 'Google edition' camera app

Here's the camera (and gallery) app from the Google Edition phones, which lets you record and view Photosphere images. The file has been pulled directly from Jerry's GS4 GE system dump, no tampering at all.

Thanks for this! I uninstalled the stock gallery from cm10.1 then installed this apk no problem. It shows as a user app in TiBu. Then, as expected, when installing the latest cm nightly, the stock gallery was back and this app was still there but with some graphical glitches in the interface. So I uninstalled this and renamed the stock gallery to galleryold. I was unable to install this again until I uninstalled the stock gallery. All is fine again but each time I update my nightly, I'll need to uninstall the stock gallery, disabling isn't enough. Do you know how to write a script to stop the gallery being rewritten?

Tapatalked that shiznit.

still the same FC on i9300:
1. Turn on flash
2. focus on something in the near (tap on the screen to focus)
3. Push the button to make a photo.
Result: delayed reaction of the phone, gallery crashes.
Second FC: Scene description (under Settings in camera) is placed wrong

No buddy, as far as i know, have to flash every time

I use Ultimarom v 13. I also asked some friends with stock roms and they get the same behavior as I described
once again: if the flash is set on, tap on the screen (somewhere in the middle), camera should only focus the picture and turn the flash on for this time. Then press the button to make photo..

Notice that the focus ring doesn't turn red when it is out of focus?
Snap something REALLY near, it should turn red but it didn't. Focus ring always show green on mine.
Anyone have this issue?

No one knows for sure.
But I don't recommend this camera app.
Focus ring is bugged. Doesn't display red when out of focus. It's always green, you won't know pic is in focus or not.
Photosphere don't stitch in background. Take 2 photosphere consecutively, the first sphere won't process in background. Overall slower process.

Here is a other thread for AOSP camera and on this post is a link for 4.3 camera with focus fix and other layout http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43100961&postcount=45

Awesome! Do you know if the calling issues from 4.2.2 are still an issue in 4.3? Referring to calls ended before other party answers don't actually end. Also, does inline earbud mic work on calls? And is there an equalizer?
Thanks for sharing your hard work!

I haven't had any calling issues at all. But only 2 days doesn't make a good sample size.
Haven't tried inline earbud mic bc I've never used one and don't like it. If it works in CM10.2 then it'll work here too.
Equalizer is avail in DSP Manager.

You don't list HDR pictures as an issue. Was that fixed somewhere that I didnt see?

Is it an issue? I haven't tried. If HDR doesn't work I'll add it as an issue. Camera seems OK and Photosphere works great.

If its based on cm10.2 HDR will result in a blank image.

Is this with Focal or with default camera?

Since Watchon is included I'm assuming you have the IR working? Thanks by the way!

Anyone else having issues with data dropping and taking a while to come back on especially when trying to make a call it takes about 12 seconds before the call is placed or dials out?
If the data is fixed this will be one kiss %$# rom!!!

Focal - HDR comes out really really dark. 3rd party apps will just be blank.

Love this ROM!!
The only issues I've come across so far are:
1. I have my Notification Rows transparency set to 100% but for some reason my notifications will show as 0% transparency as soon as a new notification comes through in the notification drawer although it still shows 100% in the settings. Anyone use those settings and seen this issue?
2. Torch doesn't seem to be working for me.

Man this is sweet! Thanks

There's a lot of action in the CM 10.2 and Beanstalk github right now. Another build is on its way after I've tested it a bit. Right now the biggest issue is DSP Manager crashes when BT tab is activated.

Youtube Problem, please help.

Hi, everything about the new update of the youtube app is just fine expect for this silly problem regarding full-screen (landscape) and smallscreen (portrait mode). Whenever I am in full screen mode my 'scrolling bar' (the bottom action bar) gets completely lost, so that I have to retract to portrait mode in order to see it and forward the video to my liking. But that is very impractical when it comes to long videos because the bar is quite small.
Take a look at the screen shots for better understanding
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance and sorry if this is a dumb question.

It could just be a rom issue then if anything you can try Team Black Out's inverted version of the app, as that is the one I use and I have no problems with it :fingers-crossed:

nope it didn't fix it, tomorrow I shall try a different rom and see if that's the problem. BUT I didn't know about this 'inverted apps' thing, just what I wanted! Great suggestion, thanks! I guess they work just add the original apps and only the color is changed right? no battery issues or anything?

what I did was uninstall the old youtube app then went to the play store and looked for Team Black Out as they have multiple apps inverted available, then in their app just download the youtube app in a .zip file that you have to flash in recovery. Yes they only changed the color and no my battery remained the same I think glad I could help!

so I changed ROMs and everything is working fine now, for anyone else with the same problem

I don't think this is a ROM issue, I think it's a YouTube issue. I'm on a stock S3 and have the same problem.
