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

The ericsson launcher dosent support landscape, generally only devices with a h/w keyboard have stock launchers that support landscape

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
by
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

hi, i notice in videos that when you're in the home screen, you're locked into landscape mode? Is that right?
Is there anyway you can make it so you can be in either landscape or portrait mode depending on how you're holding it?
THanks!

At present the only way is to use a different launcher such as adw our launcher pro.
everything else works in portrait btw, just not the home screen.
Tbh that doesn't bother me, took about 5 minutes to get used to, and makes sense to do that.

Thanks for this, I had the same question...lol
Lock portrait with only ADW solved
You can lock it into portrait mode using only ADW, no external apps/widgets required.
I came across how somewhere here on XDA and reposted it here:
http://forum.pocketables.net/showthread.php?t=7317
to do it in adw...
hold phone in portrait mode
menu --> adwsettings --> system preferences --> check system persistent
that does it for me.
only thing is when you reboot... need to go back in uncheck it, then hold in portrait rotation and go back and re-check it.
Im refering to the lock screen not the home scteen, i want the lock screen set to portrait.
ADW can kinda lock the home screen but not successfully between reboots
anyone figure this out on the stock official froyo? its really annoying that i can now have a fully portrait phone, with the exception of the lock screen.
Widget Locker. It's a paid app but it does the trick.
I found that the most recent version had some bugs with the Streak but if you email the developer he will organise to send you version 1.2.5 which works well with the Streak.
i got the widget launcher apk installed and configured. i guess it will do for now but it doesnt feel very native. every now and then the default android locker will flash for a second. i was hoping a setting in build.prop would have it.

Have you asked the developer to send you version 1.2.5? Like I said, the version on the market is buggy with the Streak but I had no problems at all with 1.2.5.
Kris
so widget locker latest version will rotate lockscreen and lock screen slider, please confirm, on official froyo? thanks..
yeah i had 1.2.5, it crashed on me several times so i just uninstalled it. widget locker doesnt really rotate it into portrait, it more replaces the lock screen with another program, that happens to be portrait only, that you can customize to look pretty close to stock. i think i might wait for a better solution.

You sure you haven't been using 1.2.8? 1.2.5 works perfectly for me to give me a lock screen in portrait.
What exactly do you want anyway? Do you just want the lock screen in portrait or the home screen? Or do you want a lock screen that actively rotate when you rotate the phone?
I installed screen suite locker to replace normal lockscreen but old lock screen kept coming up too, so I downloaded no lock to disable default lockscreen completly.
Works just how I wanted it portrait lock screen no default lockscreen

Ahh... I see! You want the stock lock screen in portrait. No, this cannot be done at this time.

Isn't there a setting in build.prop that will switch to portrait? i really want my Lock screen in portrait.
any news??
This great idea
Just download ultimate rotation control , enable pre app , set lockscreen orientation ( potrait ).
U also can use forced auto orientation for lockscreen, u can use your lockscreen in all orientation.:good::fingers-crossed:

or flash the portraitmode zipfile from the Manii, it should be there somewhere in the development section.
Hi,
If i enable auto-rotation from the home screen, the home screen also rotates automatically creating a lot of lag. Is ut possible that the home is never rotated (always in portrait) whereas applications can rotate the screen?
Please let me know. It would be of great help.
regards,
Nandi
ok, so more info would have been helpul, you know. however, of course it is possible, this is android isn't it . You must have installed a different launcher since your home screen rotates. Look in the launcher settings, there should be a setting somewhere that will turn it off.
tl;dr launcher settings!
This is Froyo rooted on my G3. And the option is in the notification bar drawer. So it isnt becasue of the launcher.
did you even look!?!
Its the home screen! How can it not be launcher related!!
you are really frustrating, but I still explain it to you:
The same way that some other apps dont rotate, some launchers dont rotate, namely stock launcher. If you are using stock launcher the home screen wont rotate regardless of that option being checked or not!! Third party launchers provide the ability to rotate your homescreen! Most, if not all, will allow you to turn it off!!
Sooo go! Check your launcher settings!!
I'm using zeam and its under general. However, you are obviously not using zeam if you are complaining that it is slow.
Soooo go!! Check your launcher settings already!!
P.S. Depending on your launcher turning off rotation for the homescreen might include turning off rotation for the app drawer. I dont know if there are launchers that separate the two.

Make sure you have lagfix v2 installed on your phone. For more info, see general help in this forum!
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.
Well, I this bought this cellphone a few months ago, and today I tryed a new Launcher. In the Android Market I downloaded the Launcher Pro (free version) and the Zeam Launcher.
So, after install they, I long-pressed in TouchWiz homescreen and selected the "Actives", with a home icon. I selected this and appeared a black screen. I just used 'back' button and for my surprise the TouchWiz was in landscape view!
I don't know at all, but isn't possible, right?
Now, everytime I put the phone on horizontal in TW the screen become in landscape.
It's a bug or it's normal?
P.S.: And sorry for my english lol

I installed the launchers, just it.
I think Launcher Pro caused this.
