Earlier today i accidentally bumped the screen while i was cleaning the back side of it. The car home screen had started up and was in landscape mode, however when i closed it my home screen using the default touchwiz (i think) was also in landscape.
when I tilted it upright it went back to portrait and back again to landscape after. No idea how it happened but once I restarted it was gone.
I realize I can do that with launcher pro or any other home screen replacement app, but I'm wondering if there's a way to always enable it with the default touchwiz?
No i don't think so :/

I see all these screenshots of nook colors in landscape mode witch is my preferred view. I wasnt able to find a landscape view lock function in launcher pro plus.. Is there a way to lock the home screen orientation on the home screen?

I've toggled the widget in the drop menu multiple times. I can't seem to get the screen to rotate at all, in menus or apps. Am I missing something? Defective? Does the screen rotate on the home screen?

I've also checked the box for auto rotate under the accessibility settings

if you let it auto rotate, the screen will change from landscape to portrait and vice versa. this happens in both the apps such when in the chrome browser as well as when viewing the desktop. locking auto rotate prevents this rotation as you turn the tablet.
is your screen not rotating?
I don't know if this had been posted, but if you own the Xperia Z charging dock you can enable landscape home screen rotation
turn off the phone and then dock the phone (in off mode).
After the charging icon appears, just power up the phone while its in the dock. Once the phone is powered up, just remove it from the dock and you should be able to rotate the home screen.
But, what's the point?

different strokes for different folks you know...
I like to use the phone in landscape on my desk without the dock and if you're in an app that is in landscape, e.g. a movie, you don't have to flip the screen back to portrait when you have to goto the home screen.
Really smart trick

Or just use Rotation Control from the play store ...
Hi,
can you please help me finding the tool which will force ALL applications work in landscape mode? Ie when my phone is in dock and i am using phone app - it is getting back to portrait mode when placing the call.
Thanks in advance!

Is there a way to fool the phone into thinking it's docked I much prefer landscape

I can already do this permanently with an app in the drop down notification menu, I can select landscape and it'll force landscape for everything but I get a native result. Works for everything except for portrait apps, and vice versa. This works on the lockscreen too.

I tried both apps from play store smart rotation control was best but didn't look right

What i found is rotation locker - works as expected. The only issue is with screen locker (pattern).

I've changed the dpi in build prop to 320 and auto rotate is automatically activated, I set font too large and I quite like this dpi,. Now if there was a way to make widgets bigger. Screen shots attached.

I'm talking about Screen Orientation Control on the Google Play Store.
This is what it looks like, hopefully it works.
Not sure what happened to the screen resolution is it some random imgur compression thing?
Thanks for the link for the app. Now I can control the orientation whenever I just want it to change.
Re: All above posts
Hey people,
I think you guys might be interested in the app called "Rotation Anywhere".
This is exactly the app all of you above are looking for.
And the best part "it's free". !!! :good:

I've discovered that if you use the xposed module "Xperia flip settings" http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=46703096#post46703096 that gives you the AOSP quick settings you can disable the screen rotation while keeping its actual orientation with the toggle.

I just install ultimate rotation control on play store. Turn off the widget in the notification area and set Global to Force Auto.
After that everything works fine with the standard Sony widget. Auto rotate does as it should and turning it off locks whatever orientation you currently have. Ie portrait or landscape.
Works well. Dont mind 4.2 so much now.
Cheers
Alec
