I like to have landscape homescreen/app drawler functionallity in use with SE homescreen launcher.
I know that other 3rd party launchers offer landscape homescreens but I like the SE homescreenlauncher.
Someone know how to fix this?
Look forward to it.
thank you.
Vintiem
on the play i notice that the homescreen becomes landscape when the keyboard slides out. is that the app itself or is the plays homescreen capable of lanscape?
Is here already someone who knows how to make this possible??? Homescreen landscape and portrait enabled.
Kind regards,
Vintiem

My wife has a "dumb" phone, but honestly as far as usability it's pretty great, and this is a feature I'd love to see on android phones:
Is it possible for a Launcher/Home app to have 2 remembered configurations for widgets, and for it to remember them and toggle between them by autosensing it's position?
So Example:
Is it possible that in portrait mode, your phone shows a dialer widget on your homescreen. When you turn the phone to landscape mode, the homescreen shows an SMS widget INSTEAD of the dialer widget. When you turn the phone back to portrait, the widget gets switched back to the dialer widget?
I think that as far as usability, that'd be awesome!
Never saw anything like that on Android.
But yes, I assume that is possible. I guess Apps have access to accelerometer and it wouldn't even need root.
Thanks!
I think it'd be awesome. As great and versatile as our phones are, let's be honest; they're phones. I think it'd be great if all you had to do was unlock your phone, and voila: you're greeted with a dialer widget (which already exist BTW). Don't need to make a phone call? No problem, but turn the phone into landscape mode (b/c let's be honest, most of us probably send SMS in landscape mode) and AGAIN Voila! there's a texting widget instead of the dialer widget (which I think also exist). The only thing to implement would be the "autosensing". If a Launcher like LPP or GO Launcher would implement something like that... it'd be money!
You could implement it on the widget itself so it works on any launcher.
Yes, it's certainly possible.
You'd have to save 2 sets of widgets and then code a listener to check whether the phone's in portrait or landscape and load the correct one.
Saying that, it's beyond my coding abilities, but i'm sure someone could do it
It is not only possible, but, from what I can tell, quite easy
all you would need to do is set up an OrientationEventListener
and then create a OnOrientationChanged method that would well.. change what is displayed
I'm not sure if it would be possible for do without using a different launcher but I'm sure it could be incorporated into something like launcherpro or adw launcher.
I might look into creating a widget that switches from phone to sms
that would be pretty cool
I'll let you know if I get anywhere with it
+1
Good idea! I hope someone could do it. That would be awesome.
Tasker is the answer!
I have Tasker and have done an almost identical thing. Create a Task which senses the orientation is portrait mode to change a shortcut on the homescreen to link to the phone dialler app. Have another task which changes the shortcut to the sms app if its in landscape mode.
Should be relatively simple.
Tasker is about £3 so a little more than most apps but is so configurable should pay for itself as it can replace a lot of other apps I have used.
I'm looking for an app that will trick the orientation sensor into thinking the phone is in landscape mode. The only thing that kinda works is ADW launcher I can force the home screen and app drawer in landscape but thats it.
Does anyone have any advice? Devs would you make this app?
Thanks!

Don't know if it's what you're looking for , but if your phone is rooted, you can check out shake and rotate in. the market. It's free.
Is this possible? I hate having to keep my phone held upright while on my homescreen, is there anyway to let the phone automatically go into landscape mode when you turn it and hold it as if the gamepad is out? Yes i know there are other programs you can get to change your homescreen which allow this but i don't really want to do that. Help.
Update:
I noticed today on IGN they were doing a preview on the Play and the phone he was using supported landscape mode on the home screen. How is this possible? Is it because it's a new version of the software on the American phones?
Here's the link

landscape solution
hi
you can use launcher pro for auto landscape mode and freeze timescape with titanium backup , launcher pro very fast compare to timescape don't forget chek case 3D drawer on launcher pro for optimal performance
by
ps: install launcher pro first before freeze timescape

THE SE launcher is actually called "home" and has nothing to do with timescape.
hi
yes sorry but i freeze all HOME and TIMESCAPE
hi
sorry double post
Whether I use Holo Launcher Pro or Apex Launcher, the homescreen in fine in portrait mode. When I tilt the phone into landscape mode on the homescreen, the homescreens on the left partially show.
In other words, I can see partial widgets from second homescreens on the left and right of the main screen in landscape mode. I hope this makes sense.
Anyway, I was hoping to know if anyone else was experiencing this, or if it can be corrected. I messed around with rows and columns but I just can't get it correct. Are these apps needing updates for the new size or do I have some type of setting wrong on the S4?
Any help is appreciated.

Can anybody tell me a landscape rotation app that is compatible with the note 3 touchwiz. Because in home screen when in forced landscape mode using apps from playstore, the proportion is bugged.

Oh thank gawd! I'm not the only one! I too am having this issue (tmus) and posted that question today there:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2590080
Basically I was using "Ultimate Rotation Control" and it works great on all my previous galaxies but on the Note 3 it looks like the icon and widgets are trying to stay in a forced portrait mode. However my background image looks fine, go figure.
However you can change your launcher to GoLauncher and that should work for you just fine. I prefer GoLauncher myself because it has a calendar widget that none of the other launchers seem to have.
Hopefully the makers of URC fix their app because its not working now.
Not to my knowledge.
If you change to Apex, Nova or another launcher, though, you'll have that as an option amongst plenty of others... Not to mention less resource usages.
