Sense UI - NO landscape (Diagnosing the problem) - G1 General

I know that Sense UI/Rosie has no landscape because quite frankly Hero has no landscape mode but after digging through Rosie and navigating to res-->the folders drawable-land and drawable-land480x320 are both empty. Do you think if we fill them with some images Rosie would have landscape? Just a suggestion don't flame me. There are files in layout-land so I'm thinking that there actually is a layout for landscape

i agree, isnt it strange that the rom comes with those landscape files yet it doenst support landscape officailly, haha. i hope there's a fix though i hate the crashing everytime we go back home if the keyboard is open.

Rosie just isn't designed to be used in landscape so all the widgets that fill the whole screen would look terrible in landscape do to space either side, and I doubt they'd fit vertically anyway.

To fix the freezing (at least) we need to change the compiled AndroidManifest.xml which is not possible at the moment.

landscape wallpaper

sorry if its a stupid ? but Is it at all possible to have a separate landscape pic than the portrait one if anyone could help me out it would be greatly appreciated thanks
No, I don't think so!
Yes it's possible, there are available today themes floating around.. that when you slide out the keyboard and switches the screen to landscape, it would display a diff background image on the screen diff from the portrait background. I think i saw that first on the Wizard forum..try to search for it...

Disable TF3D2 landscape

Does anyone know of a way to disable landscape all together in TF3D?
I never use it in landscape, and the lag when it goes to landscape when you slide the keyboard out, means you end up with TF3D overlaying the new message or app you just opened. V. annoying.
Cheers

Background Wallpaper in Portrait and Landscape

Hey guys, so lately I have noticed that wallpapers flip as does sense or titanium or whatever UI you are running.
Is it possible to select a different wallpaper for when you are in portrait or landscape?
Or disable the wallpaper from flipping with the rest of the UI?
Thanks in Advance!

Ditto from me. I note that the wallpapers included in themes flip to a second, different image... but if I
manually select an image, that flips sideways and tiles and looks dumb in landscape mode. How do I either stop it from doing so, or specify a second image for in landscape mode? Thanks! Just using Titanium WM 6.5.5, no Sense.

how to get lockscreen wallpapers to display correctly in landscape (auto-rotation)?

i have enabled auto rotation (HD2 Stock ROM 3.14, Manila 2018) but don't like my portrait wallpapers to look distorted in landscape mode. this is most annoying since even CHT 1.8.5 wont allow you setting of a landscape wallpaper - at least not for the lockscreen.
is there a tweak or an app to prevent the wallpaper from going into auto-rotation/landscape mode?
or any other way to get my lockscreen to display proper wallpapers in both portrait and landscape?
thanks in advance!
if you use HDWall have you tried making a CAB with both Portrait & Landscape wallpapers & see how that does? When I had my TP2 I did that & there was no distortion or anything in the landscape wallpapers

i am not a big fan of HDWall - it caused me a lot of trouble already. you sure it worked as a lockscreen (= windows wallpaper) as well? i remember this app being just for the Manila home screen and tabs... but i am not sure!?
isn't there a more subtle way using a reg tweak to stop the portrait wallpaper from rotating?

[Q] a launcher that handles homescreen rotation well

I'm looking for a launcher which has a good implementation on retaining the icons and stuff when changing orientation. I've only tried the stock, LauncherPro, and Apex... None of them does what I really want when changing between landscape and portrait mode:
Shows the wallpaper in its entirety across multiple screens, possibly scrolling screens vertically in portrait.
Makes no change to layout of the icons when changing orientation, only re-orient them.
Can someone suggest a launcher that handles this well? Thanks.

Nova Launcher with Ultimate rotation control.

ssLauncher does that well. You can have a totally different set of icons and wallpapesr on each screen, each orientation. Save your theme. Change every icon picture, size, font... place anywhere (no grid), overlap... you name it, it does it.
Or Apex. No rotation issues at all. I set my homescreen grid to 8x7 for both portrait and landscape. Very nice.
