Is there really not an app for this? I've downloaded apps for my MyTouch to easily disable rotation, but they only disable landscape. I really wish I could find a way to disable portrait orientation.
bump at this. i've been wondering the same thing.
yea i like this too. only apps i ever auto rotate, maps, messaging (its a myTouch portrait is just stupid for messaging) , and browser.
i could have sworn that this phone auto rotates right? regardless if keyboard is out or not?
i know it may not be full rotate
is she supposed to rotate with the stock launcher? or does orientation only flip when keyboard is out?
SN: of course launcher pro works fine..... i just wanted to know if touchwiz launcher was supposed to work like that as well
In short, no.
TouchWiz only rotates if you slide out the keyboard.
okay so i am tripping. lol
thanks!!!
cuz i coulda swore i had it rotate the screen once but i guess im wrong.
thanks again!
go into settings display settings and check tap orientation to enable rotation orientation
it did before the update to add amazon mp3 garbage.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
it is enabled
dah well
There has to be a way to force TouchWiz rotation. I have a vibrant, and now that the dock is out, there has to be something the dock does to force rotation on the touchwiz homescreen.
anyone have any ideas?
u be tripping
as long as we're asking questions, i could have sworn that you could re-order the touch wiz screens but i'm thinking it might have been because was on the epic experience rom.... was that a TW 3.0 feature?
Pinch zoom out to get to that feature.

from the home screen on a stock phone? not working. not a huge deal i just remeber being able to do it
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.
Just wondering if you can do this with previous Android phones that have these buttons? I dunno why Google think they're a good idea when they just take up screen space. I'd love to have them function like the Windows task bar when I can hide it but it comes back when I put my mouse cursor over it. I'd love to have it functioning so like I do a gesture and I can make it appear and disappear and have a setting also to make it appear and disappear when I have just one finger down there, not two so I can pinch to zoom.
Thanx.

Don't know about bringing it up at will, but you can certainly hide them so that you get the entire screen for usage. Search for LMT Launcher. I personally prefer on screen buttons to the comparatively 'ugly' hardware/ capacitive ones. Allows for complete customization. Go through the threads on the i9250 forums and you'll see what I mean.
I kind of liked this. But, I'm finding it does NOT work with different launchers. I'm currently using Apex Launcher and there's no pinch out function. Is there a way to make the phone recognize the pinch out feature and work anyway?
