Im trying to use the KF to view pdf files and edit word files using QuickOffice Pro, but a good amount of space is taken up by the notification bar and the bottom buttons when in landscape mode. Is there any way to force apps like this and the browser app to go into full screen mode?
Also, is anyone running Dolphin Browser HD and does that work in full screen mode?
Edit: I'm not sure what I did but QuickOffice Pro is automatically going into full screen mode now when I rotate to landscape. Dolphin Browser also works in full screen mode and it's pretty awesome.
I would also like to know how to have the dolphin HD browser open in full screen without gesturing, just defaulting when opening. Thank u
For Firefox, there is a fullscreen plugin. There may be other plugins for other apps as well.

Can homescreen autorotation only be done in a full custom rom?
Or would an upgrade (e.g. cyan's making bacon) be able to enable this function?
Cyanogens Makin' bacon doesn't support landscape right now. The only I see to enable it would be to download a homescreen replacement such as Home++ that's what I'm using right now and it works fine.
What happens to your icon/widget layout when you switch to landscape view?
Does Android 2.1 not support auto-rotate by default?
It supports auto-rotate for everything but the home screens, which kinda sucks cause when I get Handcent pop ups if I wanna use the landscape keyboard I have to go into the handcent app. Can only do portrait for pop up quick reply if it comes up while youre on home or lock screen.
I tried open home, it wouldn't let me put widgets on the screens so I got rid of it.
but to my question:
Does native landscape mode for the home screen require a COMPLETELY new rom?
Or just a addition to the stock?
Hello,
I was wondering myself if its possible the run the dell streak forced to portrait mode. Do you know any possibility to do that? When you turn off autorotation, the streak is always in landscape...
Thank you very much and sorry for my bad english,
Mehmet

Use adw.launcher and select persistant mode.

I use the latest ADW Launcher EX with StreakDroid 1.8.1 and the "Only Portrait" mode doesn't work. It stays in landscape mode when enabled.
ADW Launcher bug?
And is it possible to put the whole Streak (not only ADW) in portrait mode?
On 1.8.1 I could do it ONLY with LauncherPro. Both built-in launcher and ADW don`t rotate to Portrait.
ADW Launcher EX does it, but only when set to "Auto Rotate" ... Not in "only portrait" ...
Use "go launcher ex" and uncheck rotation, it works fine for me
I don't wanna use another launcher.

does the streak remain ALWAYS, with all applications, in portrait mode?
No, of course not. It is just for launcher, not for the whole system.
I too want to use my Dell portrait only. I tried landscape, but the system just don't use it, I mean it will be useful if for example messages looks like on iPad (on left list of messages, on right preview), but how it is right now, you just see less information with landscape. Plus holding it with one hand in landscape is bit hazard for me (in public transport). I hope somebody will find solution.
And, no, really, unchecking the automatic rotation of screen when having it in portrait doesn't work. It works with other Android devices but not for Dell Streak (for no reason).
Hi,
I've been seeing the forum threads for portrait mode on the Dell Streak but all have just options for the launcher reorientation.
I have currently locked the system to landscape only since its extremely bothersome when the system is on auto rotate and it rotates by 180 degrees. However even with this, there are apps like Astrid tasks, etc which have some of their screens in portrait - which is a bit irritating...
With the landscape mode its not possible to try an operate the device with one hand. In the portrait mode it is a bit more easier to reach with the thumb across the screen to the opposite side corners and by sliding the hand down the entire screen can be accessed with a single hand when you have to.
Is there some mode where the full system can be made completely in portrait? Of course its understandable that select apps like Klondike, etc will run only on their default landscape mode but is there nothing that can be done for the rest of the system? Something that can probably just be included as a command in the install.txt file for Streakdroid packages perhaps?
I run Streakdroid 1.9.0 and love the new Stage UI. Not particularly impressed with ADW or LauncherPro.
Thanks in advance.
I've been experiencing slow home page icon when I'm in landscape mode (keyboard).
When I close the keyboard, it takes about 6 seconds before the icons show up. Before the icons you see the background only.
Don't know if it may be a program I installed or an app using the memory?

same here, any luck?
Still having the same issue. I check appls running in background but couldn't see anything out of norm. I can't believe no one else is having this issue.
Help!

i just use adw and make it system persistent meaning it will not rotate, for some reason the home screen was the absolute worst application to rotate and so i decided it shouldn't need to. try it out and see which bugs you more, slow rotation or no rotation
mine rotates to home screen completely fine and fast. The issue is when I am in landscape mode (with the keyboard) and I close the keyboard to go back to portrait, it rotates but the icons/widgets does not show until 5-10 seconds later. it shows the background only.
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

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

ps: install launcher pro first before freeze timescape

THE SE launcher is actually called "home" and has nothing to do with timescape.
hi

Hi - I've been looking to replace my launcher from touchwiz as I need landscape orientation for the home page.
Do any of the alternative launchers support split screen? Doesn't look like Nova, Action Launcher or Google Launcher do, and I cant find Samsung's Good Lock for some reason as I thought that might.
Any ideas? Thanks
Samsung doesn't want launchers to work in split screen. That is a design decision which makes sense when you think about it. The same reason that the launcher does not show in "Recent apps".
Fear not, there might be a solution.
A simple trick would be to get the apk that you want to try in split screen and then edit its AndroidManifest.xml file so that the app doesn't know that it's a launcher. (Not sure if you can do that directly but most probably you'll have to Decompile the app -> edit manifest -> Recompile the app.
If you have spare free time you can google how to do all this. And see if its possible. (Most probably it is.)
I found a great solution! I force landscape mode using an app and Nova in split screen - ie I have music on touchwiz one side, and nova on the other. That way I can run any apps split screen. Inside nova I can run maps which wont run on it's own in split screen.
Touchwiz allows this with launcher apps which are not set as the default home.
In fact it works fantastic. I use it along with a floating app launcher so I can press home and it wont take the whole homescreen home, just the nova launcher.

I recently downloaded the GalaxyS8_Dark_clock_noframe.apk and it is WOW! Although I only got to try out the trial version on a Samsung Galaxy A3 2017 with android v6.0 (marshmellow) I noticed that in the gallery app the title for each album is white against a background of white and not black against a background of white or white text against a black background? See attached image.
Is there a freeware theme that is similar with the dark menus,notification window,etc as I don't have that much data so I can't google that much....
Thanks
