Hi!
Just recieved my HD2 and being a noob to this device, I presumed that if you flipped the device into landscape, the Album would rotate into landscape mode. Do I have to set anything up on the device to enable this?
Regards,
Alan
Have a look at the wonderful BsB Tweaks app. That has a menu option in there to allow rotation for the app(s) of your choice.
A quick search of the themes and apps section should find it.
I thought the album was already landscape???
I've assumed that he means when you click the "Albums" softkey. I seem to remember having to set mine up to rotate that, but could be wrong.
Albums flops between landcape and portraid whenever I do. I thought it was the deafult action ion both the 1.43 and 1.48 ROM and I haven't fopen anything I can rememebr to change it. This is to do with the arrangement of thumbnails. If the question is really about flipping the pictures in the album to Landscape then that's totally different
What I meant is that in some of the videos I had seen on the HD2, when the guy rotated the device in the album, it went into landscape mode (riverflow or something like that). I think that the music tab did the same....
They don't need setting up - they just work. (They do for me anyway)
That's photos and videos, available from your Home Screen Tabs and not Albums.
Well, I have tried it from the Album tab and the Album application and it does not rotate.....

What do you mean by album tab? Do you mean Photos & Videos?
The tab on the bottom of the screen... with the photo icon.... next to the music tab....

Yeah - that's photos & videos, not albums. #9Just to clear that up )
I take it you're holding the phone upright when you do this?
Sorry to ask that, but it's the only thing I can think of!
When you get into Photos and videos you just twist the phone, don't click on Albums or slideshow. Just in case their was any more confusion.
Thanks guys... I have sorted it.... it works now!
[Closed]
how did you figure it out? what did you do?
How comes pics don't roatate in landscape if you take them in potrait and visa versa? a la the iPhone? I took a picture in potrait and rotated my phone in landscape and nothing happened.

Hello
I have installed Gyrator to help with rotating photos in the albums. Im stuffed if I can sort it out. I find it strange that photos under album do not rotate. The only way to get them to rotate is open the pictures and videos tab but this means putting all my albums in the DCIM foler. I would appreciate it if someone could tell me how to get Gyrator to rotate pictures opened under the albums tab.
Thanks
One of my favorite things about the HD2 is the picture and music tab rotation. Has anyone figured out how to enable landscape mode while at the same time keeping the native picture and music rotation format? I've used several landscape mode cabs and tweaks but none so far can do this. Any ideas?

Hey torremitsu. Tell me what you're seeing when the picture and music tabs go into landscape..? I'm not sure what's looking different for you. I'm using the TX_Total_Landscape cab (which I'm sure you've already tried) on a stock ROM, and they look pretty much exactly the same to me (see images below). But, I'm sure I'm just being dense and not getting it lol
Or...are you saying you want everything to rotate into landscape except those two tabs...?
yes that is exactly how it looks with landscape enabled But without land scape enabled there is a totally different animation that i love. I wonder if there is a way to have both landscape enabled as well as keeping the original picture and music animation the same at the same time

wow dude...I'm totally missing something here lol, call me dumb I've played with those tabs in both landscape and portrait, with and without this cab, and I can find/see any visible differences in behavior. What animation is it that you're referring to? I don't know how to retain it in landscape, but I'm dying to figure out exactly what I'm not seeing here. Thanks for bearing with me!
No i COmpletly Get what my dude is saying. with the cabs installed its a snap change, bnut with the native rotation and actually animates a smooth change. and on top of that when in landscape on music tab (cab installed) you cant see the track list, when its native you can see the track list of your albums
Cover flow

I am thinking this dude wants to keep the landscape orientation with the pictures flowing across and the ablum cover flow to be the same. It looks a little different on your screen shots. I think he is wanting to remain like this.
But then again...I could be trippin' I am not so good with the words and putting them together and whatnot!!
LOL ok thanks everybody
I think there must be some different versions at play here or something. When I play with my music and picture tabs, I can't find any differences in the animations or behavior between landscape and portrait mode, it looks the same to me....I've never seen a look like the ones in toreone's screenshots, with or without this cab, no matter if I'm in landscape or portrait. My albums and pictures scroll up and down regardless of the orientation, and with the same animation, speed, everything. I'm also able to see the track listing just fine in landscape (by hitting the "library" soft-button). I'm sure there's just something I'm overlooking lol.
EDIT: or, I'm just thick in the head....let's not overlook that possibility
I found the perfect video that shows what im talking about. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MuOvHWoL5bg&feature=fvw
i know what you mean, in landscape it should show albums and scroll left right, but in roms that all tabs are landscaped it continues to show tracks and scroll up down, just sideways.
i don't use the tab player much, else it would annoy me too.

Unfortunately, I haven't been able to work this out either. If something is tab'd, it becomes a part of Sense and it's Sense that gets rotated, not the "Home Screen" or "Start Screen".

Ahhh well, maybe one day Thanks for the reply's gentlemen
i have been using the josskoss roms since tp2..
Im currently using josskoss's 1.7com2 rom
i have an issue and i cant fix it myself.
at one point i had manila fully auto rotating and it wasnt effecting the manila album and photo tabs....meaning...the rotating animation(which is awesome) was working along side with the rest of the tabs auto rotating...ie...messaging tab email tab ect....
i did a hard reset to fix a dif issue and now my phone is having a conflict keeping full manila auto rotate and animations for the album and photo app working together...i can get everything to auto rotate just fine...
BUT then i loose the cool animations on those 2 tabs....i was using to different apps to auto rotate..Bsb tweaks and auto rotate 1.2...and using either one of makes the album and photo app rotate upside down and off screen....
CAN SOMEONE HELP please...thanx in advance.
Give this cab a try, I use it on my stock ROM and it works great without screwing up the music + photo tabs like that. I haven't tried it on the ROM you have, so I can't say if that will cause any issues...just make sure you have the BsB option turned off, and have uninstalled any other rotation tweaks you have installed before running this one

i tryed the cab u posted...IT did auto rotate manila for me,..but it broke the album and photo tabs no longer display the animations...they ,merely rotate like the rest of the tabs.....
IS there a way to have all of manila rotate and keep the animations...i know there has to be!

Hmm. The animations still work for me (flipping through albums/pics...), just switched to horizontal instead of vertical..?
when i say animations ...i am talking about the photo tab and the music tab...they have special animations when flipped into landscape...the photos in the photo tab flips and then is swipeable from left to right ..and the music tab is simular.,..it also becomes swipeable from left to right ...not up and down like it usually is when just adding manila to the whitelist thru reg edits...
im trying to figure out if its possible to keep those animations and have the rest of the tabs rotate as well...
is that a better explanation?

yeah...that's what I'm saying, when those tabs rotate for me, the pictures and the music albums rotate and can then be swiped from left to right..
can u tell me what rom your using? and are u using the same rotation edit cab that u poste?

I'm on the original stock Tmo ROM (2.10).
Actually, when poking around to confirm that's the cab I'm currently using, I discovered that (I forgot) I'd installed a different one to replace that one I first offered you. Try this one instead, hopefully it'll get you the same thing I see now. Sorry about that, I didn't even remember I'd done that
i had that installed....and no luck...its as if the album tab and photo tab rotate twice...once thru the animation and then another time thru the rotating app...which ever one i use....they all the work the say way pretty much...
im soooooooooooo frustrated ..

Hmm, I dunno then
If you're sure you removed previous rotation cabs, the only other suggestion I might have is to uninstall BsB and see if that changes the behavior...
Did you try to use BSB tweaks that is in the rom to enable manila rotation? Might have wanted to ask in Josh's thread where we might have be able to help a little sooner.

yea i did post something in joss's thread n noone has commented it in a while...and i have used bsb and that does the same thing...it autorotates everything and by doing so makes photo album and music tab rotate twice..n gives that half backwards screen...all the other rotate apps either do that or do away with the coverflow animations and make the music n album tab animationless like the rest of the tabs...
there has to be away to auto rotate individual tabs or something ..idnno
Is there a way to get all of the photos when viewing with the gallery to fill the screen without having to switch to landscape mode?
On my windows phone, using HTC's album viewer and scrolling thru the pics, they always were rotated the correct way as to fill the screen without having to rotate the phone, whether they were taken as portrait of landscape pictures.
This is a bit annoying.
Oh, and a second question, how about a way to make the gallery go into camera shots by default when I push the gallery shortcut.
Thanks all wise android gurus.
so here's an interesting thing that I noticed.. all of my pictures are rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise. Everything shows up on the phone (in the gallery app) and in google+ correctly (which is why it took me a while to realize this issue), but when I look at the actual jpgs, they are all rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise. Have you guys seen this before? How do I fix it?
original camera app?
auto screen orientation turned on?
original camera app (one built in to the n7100), screen orientation turned off. I prefer to use portrait mode for pictures.. and the pictures are always 90 degrees to the "right". what's funny is that picasa shows the pictures correctly. but windows photo viewer isn't, and file preview in windows isn't. when i export them to a non google service (such as QQ, a popular chinese instant messaging app), it's also showing up as rotated.
any ideas?

if u turn off the auto screen orientation, how can the note2 knows you want portrait or landscape.......
it's strange but google+, picasa somehow figures it out correctly.. *shrug* i'll try w/ the auto screen orientation on and see if that does it.

I thought this was a bug in android I found most of my pictures come out the correct way round as in the way I took them but occasionally the odd one will be rotated 90 degrees. This also used to happen with my note 1.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
if you go in to the original stock camera app, if you click the cog on the top left, scroll down, there's a setting which says 'save as flipped'
if you click it, it should stop that from happening.
I always thought that was for the front camera

This option is disabled for me on my camera when I have the phone in landscape... And my photos are still flipped.
