'shootme' is what most people use, and just turn your phone to get landscape >.>

I know what the original post-er is talking about. You can get the original home screen to work in Landscape. I don't know what the app is called. ANy ideas anyone?

THANX SHOOT ME WORKED without ROOT even though it said ROOT required but landscape doesnt work im using the launcher 2(nexus one 2.1),i guess ROOT enables it or jus another special setting.thanks

You can also try Helix launcher from the market. It works in landscape without root and has a nice permanent dock bar at the bottom for your most used apps. Pretty convenient despite being a derivative of the iphone. It still feels like Android

Cool ill give it a shot on the helix launcher

Stop tilt?

I've tried Google without any luck..so I'm guessing this is a no..but I'm trying to find an app that disables tilt in certain situations only. I know I can disable tilt thru the settings..but that disables tilt EVERYWHERE. I'm just looking to disable tilt on my homescreen..while still being able to tilt while browsing Interwebz and whatnot. Seems like it should be an easy enough function..considering BB's have an app for it. Anyone have any suggestions?

Ok 1 - Android is not BlackBerry. Not even on the same level as one another, so just get that out of your head.
Second off, wtf do you mean on your homescreen? Sense doesn't turn landscape unless you changed the Skin to one built with landscape. Just switch it to the stock HTC skin, problem solved, it never goes landscape unless you open the keyboard.
If you're not using Sense (CM 6.1 or something) check the settings, as it usually has a way to disable homescreen rotation in their own personal settings.

Try CM6. It has the option for a custom power control widget to be embedded into the statusbar. You can put a toggle for rotation too. You loose the sense home and widgets though, but imo stock > sense. Or you could try quickdesk and put a rotation toggle widget on it.

Orly? Android isn't Blackberry? Good to know.
So lets begin...in order to "hide" all the bunk apps because I wasn't rooted, flashed, s-offed etc yet (all the things necessary to remove said apps) I had to download Launcher Pro (which was highly recommended). As soon as this was done..then yes..I was no longer able to use stock Sense. So now..my homescreen always tilts on me..which bugs the **** outta me. Could I just go back to stock Sense? Sure I could..but I'd rather have what should be a basic app to allow me to pick and choose where and when I'd like my screen to tilt. And I've grown to like how my homescreen looks over the stock look. Yes..I can disable autotilt in the settings..but then I can't even tilt the screen into landscape for the browser. So maybe I'm missing something here that someone else can point out..

I am on a stock ROM myself still, but I know that Cyanogen has a lot of customisation options. I wonder if it's worth asking in the CM thread over on the G2 side (because the DZ one is dead) out whether that has options that might help you ?

You want to disable "rotation" all over your phone AND to be able to use the browser in Landscape mode.
If that is the only thing you want, you can set your browser to "landscape mode only"
Now if you have a longer list of requirements on what apps get permisions to rotate the screen etc, I think you may bigger problems

there was nothing offensive or said with an attitude in this post. it was only til you noobs came on here with misplaced android pride. he didnt compare berrys to droids. he simply said they have an app for it.
this is a great question. the tilt function seems almost too sensitive. it would be great to maybe tweak it somehow to make it so you really have to hold the phone sideways....instead of slightly tilt the phone. an app to block it in certain situations is good but i feel that id have to micro manage too much to specify every single situaiton id want tilt or not.
for the record... i'm am a die hard android user and his post did not push my buttons at all. this post is very useful.

ADW launcher has an option in system preferences for home screen orientation.
Just change it from auto to portrait, that's what I did.

Wow no one answered your question. Well here it is, when you are on the home screen hit the Menu - Behavior Settings and uncheck Enable Auto-Rotation.
That will disable auto rotation on the home screen. Now go into Settings - Display and make sure Auto-rotate screen is checked. This way you will be able to but your screen into landscape mode when surfing the web or using apps that auto rotate. Now if you want to be able to choose specific apps, that I have no knowledge of doing. Hope this helps.

Tasker (on the Market) can be set up to enable/disable auto-rotation on many different triggers, like when a certain app is launched. Plus it can do a lot more that that! Check it out I think it's well worth the money.

okay here's my idea i havent read any other post so i dont know if it's redundant.
disable auto rotation
then go to the web browser and enable "view on landscape mode only"

Awesome! This is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks to you sir. And btw..It wasn't as simple as just setting my browser settings to landscape because I also like to view texts and im's in landscape mode. It never even occurred to me to check the Launcher Pro settings..so thanks again for that

Excellent.

Glad I could help. I know I was having the same issue at one point in time and it was very annoying. I didn't want to give up on Launcher Pro because the widgets are awesome and it gave me "sense" on my stock android! If you haven't played with Launcher Pro Plus, you should give it a whirl. The widgets that are unlocked with it are definitely top notch.

This is the correct answer if using Launcher Pro, I'd assume it would be pretty similar for adw launcher too.

The crazy thing is I actually NEVER played with ADW, yet I keep hearing how really good it is. So good in fact, that some custom ROMS have it built in. Would you recommend it?

Not only those but what about the Friendstream widget? It is damn near an exact replica of the sense widget. I also like how when you use the picture frame widget, you can resize it. That feature is only available on LPP not LP.

Every time I try ADW I am always disappointed with the jerkiness/lack of smooth scrolling. I try it once every few months but never stuck with it.
Definitely Launcher Pro for me, smooth, customisable, practical,... who could ask for more?

[Q] homepage and rotation question

The defy has 6. And a home page. Im not using two of them how do i remove them? Tmobile was no help. 2nd question is there something that can rotate my screen upside down. ? Thanks for reading

I'm not sure whether you can do it with the stock launcher (though you should be able to) but I know with LauncherPro you can choose the number of homescreens by pressing Menu, then Preferences > Homescreen Settings.

thanks
I gave it a shot it works well. However i just don't like the home icons. I like the ones that came with it. (3) call. The circle thing and contacts is there any way to get them with launcher pro?

Well, you can change the default icons long-pressing on them. Choose the default ones or find some nice icon online and change it

Thanks
i got it looking good.! i would take a screen shot but i havent Rotted. waiting for 2.2. got everything but is any one having issues with the "Messaging App" the one that shows you email and text and gives you a preview. i cant get it to work says problem loading widget? any one know the deal.......press and hold on home screen,widgets,messages then select all messages and click done. "problem with loading widget.... other then that im at 95% done. 100% loving THIS $hit so glad i moved on from my touch pro II. gotta update my sig but to busy making my Defy cooler

Ps. The weather app & youtube don't always work. Any 1 else having this issue when i click weather nothing happens same with utube.

Hi, I am using 2.2 and sometimes my device hangs and reboots itself. When i was in landscape befor then the homescreen is in landscape after auto- reboot. So technically landscape is possible, but how to switch its orientation by yourself is a other question.
Greetings

To make it go to landscape once ur in launcherpro hit the 4 square button then behavior then check auto rotate. U should b good.
Sent from my Defy with XDA App

No ideas on the weather and utube widgets any one. I checked task killer but there are no apps on" auto close" and preview message box still not workin... if i pay im scares it still wont work. Has any one paid for this app?

Can't scroll through "share" options.

I'm running cyanogen nightlies on a US G2 and if I click share on a gallery image I can't scroll up to applications that are off the screen in either landscape or portrait mode? In order to share via sms I compose a text first and attach. Thoughts? I didn't have this issue on stock or miui?
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App

all i can figure is u must have a bunch of apps installed capable of the share option, because i just counted 11 on mine when i pressed share and they all fit with about 1/4" free room on top and bottom. that's the only thing i can think of at the moment.

You must have a **** ton of sharing options to have it block up in portrait. I have 12 right now and there's room for 1 more.
I do have this issue and its annoying in landscape mode, but I've never thought about it in portrait.

Yep. I guess thirteen is the max. Some I would never use nor see how I could. Ipcamviewer is an app to view traffic cams. Share a photo from gallery to it?
But, on stock and miui the trackpad allows you to scroll. Im gonna delete some apps.

Glovebox - Edge app

Wonderful app that uses the edge very well for edge swipes. I bought the paid app a long time ago so I don't know what the free version offers (if there even is one lol)
Once you get it set up with the icon packs and folders it's great. I've completely removed all apps and folders from my home screen.
here are a few screen shots.

Nice find, lots of customization even in the free version, Cheers

Very nice!! I bought the full version!! We MUST support good developers (IMHO)

I bought the full version as well!!
supporting development is a must!
One thing that I am VERY excited about is coupling this with Zooper Widgets, and PopUp Widget!!
I'll post pics of what I come up with.

Definitely loads of potential with those 2 apps involved.

It doesn't really use the Edge though. Looks like the icons are much bigger than the edge size, aren't they?

Super app but does not use the edge

Love this app, thanks for sharing.

Amazing app. Bought it after using it for 2 minutes. Thanks for sharing

The Best Edge App I've ever had. Makes other apps gimmicks.
And I really like the floating widget.
This + Action Launcher == Widget Master.

I just use sidebar density. XS works well.

I'm loving this app. I payed for it after using it for like 10 min.

try Apps Bar same thing smaller icons
when you search spell out Apps with the S for some reason with out the S it didnt show up in the first searches i did:good:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=infamous.apps.appsbarfree&hl=en

Another +1 for Glovebox! I tried Apps Bar too -- it was nice but Glovebox has more customization. FluffyR's comment about XS density is exactly what i needed/wanted. Also the fact that it supports icon packs is excellent, i'm using the one i have with Nova Launcher.

Always buy full version. We have a good amount of good devs and the more we support the more good devs we'll have in the future. Great app dn good find OP

This app is amazing and smoother than any other side bar app.

I like it a lot, but sometimes it takes a while to open apps from it, anybody else experience the same?
If I open the app from the drawer it opens straight away, so I expect it to be caused by Glovebox...

I loved the app but looks like there's some issue with my phone or I'm missing out some settings. I have the clock widget on my phone and whenever I use it, it starts from the bottom of it and doesn't covers the whole soon rather just the part below the clock widget. The same happens in the app drawer as well, would love a solution for that.

I am facing the same issue, it takes longer to open a app from glovebox than opening the same app from homescreen even when the app is in the recent app list.
It takes even longer if you have cleared all running apps and then you open a app from glovebox. Another than this lag issue rest all great.
I already bought the app and used it but went back to the old homescreen setup since it took so long to switch between and open new apps
