Hi there,
I have tried Cyanogenmod and haven't been able to rotate the soft keys into landscape mode (they stick to the same place as portrait). With this, even in expanded desktop mode, many apps are not in full screen. So is there a custom ROM which allows the rotation, just like the stock rom does? Or any app perhaps.
Cheers.

Got a US T-Mobile HD2, and I just enabled rotation again. I don't know why it was disabled in the first place. Maybe, it is because not all programs can be used in landscape mode (though they should be).
What are some good programs that can be used in both modes? TCPMP apparently can't do landscape. Where can I find some skins for Windows Media Player?
This is off topic, but does Android support Landscape mode?
Android does support landscape, three are several devices with slide out keyboard. Program wise, most WM should support bot landscape and portrait
I wish wm apps would have thinner status bars. for example the one that Adobe reader uses is huge. wm top bar, bottom bar and app's own bar. thats a lot of space used up.
how did u enable landscape mode, did you use registry tweak(s) or any programs?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You can install Bsbtweaks.
i used bsbtweaks on my tmobile hd2 and get the clock only on the left side and a black bar to the right. aceo07, is your rom stock?
To start, i have CM7 n176 installed on my Nook Color.
I like it so far but one thing I noticed is the lack of a "proper" rotation lock. I put proper in quotes because i am aware of the rotation lock that android has. The problem I have is that while I'm in landscape mode and want to lock it in landscape, i have to completely disable rotation to portrait in the menus. The rotation lock that android has (i have added it to the notification bar) automatically rotates back to portrait when enabled. Is there anyway to make the rotation lock in the notification bar function like the rotation lock on the iPad?
Could check out my thread on the agile lock free mod in themes. It will take you to my Dinc thread, and it has rotation in the menu.
I actually started using Android for the first time with ICS Elite ROM coming from a blackberry and didn't realise that some launchers do landscape mode.
As a result I've been using my i9000 locked in portrait mode to type and everything. The new ICS keyboard makes this feasible.
The thing is, I don't fancy doing a .zip unpack again even though Nandroid backup and Titanium backup is fairly easy. Is there a launcher to install that can do it or would I then find more apps that don't work so great in landscape? I don't like turning the screen all the time and also because if you lay on your side the auto turning is annoying, yet that's the only slick way to use both screen modes.
If I can find a launcher that can do it, it might be better to use landscape all the time.
Is there anyone else out there who uses exclusively portrait mode like I currently do?
"go launcher" has the option to either lock it in one position or turn with the sensor. some widgets get a bit distorted in landscape though
Is there a way to set the home screen to rotate to landscape? I remember with the N7, before 4.1.2 we could edit build.prop. Is there anything similar w/ the N4?
Hello!
I know there are some Threads about it already.
I've been searching the web (and xda) about hiding those stock navigation buttons in apps but with no success of what I want.
I have already posted this in some Q&A but with no success.
REQUEST:
I want my navigation buttons to be ACTIVE on some apps, while I want those button to hide on the other apps with !!POSSIBILITY!! to activate them (indefinite, not only for some seconds) and deactivate when needed.
I don't want them to appear "above" everything like some apps and ways to do this offer. I want it stock, the way android 4.4 does this (eg. http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/1...go-truly-full-screen-hide-the-navigation-bar/)
With the latter I meant when on Home Screen - there should be transparent Button Bar (like stock 4.4) Not like apps that only offer full black
Do you think it is possible? A modified ROM could offer tweaked and improved android 4.4 "Full-screen Immersive mode" HERE.
I belive OMNI Rom could be the answer!
Ah, we don't always get what we want ...
Anyway, I had this idea for a long time already, so I'll work on that... when I have time. Basically a kitkat-updated version of Expanded desktop.
