Hi guys
Anyone knows if its possible when rotate the nexus 7 to landscape get the same layout with the dock in the bottom as the nexus 10 instead of at the right of the screen, i dont like the look of it in landscape mode.
Cheers.
Download a different launcher (like Apex or Nova) or change your DPI in the build.prop to 160.

I'm currently using nova launcher but whenever I don't get the dock oriented at the bottom as in the nexus 10. I can't find an option to change that

OK. I have been fiddling with nova for a while but I can't find any option for home screen orientation. I went ahead and updated to prime...still no dice. Others have mentioned it working...what am I missing?
ADW works though..but I prefer Nova.

you don't need prime but that is fine. pull down your notifications window. Is the little icon set to allow the screen orientation to change or is it locked?
There is a setting in nova launcher under look and feel, screen orientation.
Under "look and feel" there is an option for screen orientation. you can choose from default, auto-rotate, force portrait, and force landscape.
If you're interested in having the Nexus 7 homescreen actually rotate, you can download Ultimate Rotation Control.
Once installed, you can choose the option "Forced Auto" and the home screen will rotate.
Hey guys,
Was just wondering how I would get Apex Launcher to fit correctly? When I use it, like a quarter of my screen at the bottom can't be used for apps and widgets, I tried playing with the grid size to no avail,
Any help?

If you look at the screen shot, no icon will go further down to the bottom of the screen.

No issues here running the version 1.3beta2
I can see you are on a different DPI, try it on the default 213

What are your home screen margins?
I had the same issue - I tried the grid size. The next option down you can select if horizontal and vertical margins. I have these now at NONE and I can put anything anywhere. Before adjusting your DPI, etc. try this.

Same issue here
This has come up about 1000 times. Apex needs to set the default margins to something smaller, or put the instructions in the description in the playstore. It is nice to have the control over the margins, but it turns people off to have to go through a learning curve to do something so basic on something like a launcher.
Hi All, recently installed paranoid android, anyone got any idea how i create shortcuts with my own icons? the default launcher doesnt seem to have anywhere i can change it. and i dont wanna install another launcher ideally.
couldn't one simply long press a app's icon on the home screen and then tap EDIT? then you can search for the icon you want to replace it with. I believe that's how I did it.

You would need a custom launcher like Nova Launcher to edit your icons

You installed a completely new, and alpha, ROM. Why do you hesitate to install a new launcher?
The latest Nova launcher will even import your icon and screen layouts from the stock launcher.
Sure would like to do this with out adding a launcher as well. Not sure Nova or any other launcher can duplicate all the different looks to your homepage that Paranoid Android is mostly flashed for.
Edit: flashing a launcher will do the trick disregard the above BS.

Use ADW launcher.
install xposed framework and then icontheme module ,works with stock paranoid launcher
Hi, just got a nexus 7 today and disappointed that the default launcher doesn't support landscape ( unless I'm being stupid!! ) so I've had to use apex but it don't seem as smooth as the default launcher .... so is there a ROM close to stock that supports landscape on the home screens? This isn't normally a top priority but this tab Is to go in my car so portrait just don't work, Also having the notification bar at the bottom is a preference but not a top priority, And would be nice to have toggles in the noti bar like in OAKP,
Thanks in advance and for any help

there a simple build.prop edit to make the homescreen auto rotate, all you do is add this line to your build.prop and reboot.. launcher.force_enable_rotation=true
Nova launcher rotate to landscape and it's smooth and fast. No root or modified is required.
Use this with stock launcher
"Set Orientation" - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.googlecode.eyesfree.setorientation

Where in the build.prop should I add this? At the bottom of Additional_Build_Properties list or somewhere specific?

I have auto rotate the enabled on my nexus 7 and when the home screen rotates to landscape (sideways) it squashes everything is on the home screen. I am running android 42 with xenon hd rom I am also using apex launcher. Attached are normal and landscape mode pictures.

lol yea im sure ive had at least one device that when you setup a home screen go portrait then back landscape you would have half your widgets added to a new homescreen. jellybean is soposed to solve this issue but still not all app widgets are 100% resizable

Hi, Natenatenate...
You mention you are using Apex...
The trick with Apex (if you want to use it in both landscape and portrait) is to ensure the 'grid' setup is identical in each.
I have found a 6 x 6 icon arrangment for both landscape and portrait optimal, with margins both vertical and horizontal set to 'small'.
...and do not use the Tablet UI setting...
Below are my screenshots...
In landscape, note how the dock bar and search bar are now down the left and right hand sides of the screen respectively... this preserves 'aspect ratio' and negates the squashed effect you report.
Finally, the dock bar can support up to 7 icons (at 100% size), with the dock bar horizontal margin set to 'small'.
Hope this helps...
Rgrds,
Ged.
