Xposed and App Settings was my flavor of choice for this, but Xposed isn't available for us yet. I'm unsure if it ever will but I got my fingers crossed.:fingers-crossed:
rotation locker in the play store can hard set any orientation, no root needed.

Is there any app to force other apps that you have running to landscape mode? I tried Gyrator, but when it goes to running the emu it forces its way back to portrait and stays that way. Or could I try a registry hack to force it to landscape?
I use G-Config v1

ChangeScreen is what I use. I find it reliable and easy to configure. Just make sure to make your "Exceptions" (ie. if you don't want one app to rotate, add it to the exceptions list so it stays still). You can configure which ways you want things to rotate (left, right, and/or upside-down).
Gyrator 2 or G-sensor can do the job

Both Gyrator and changeScreen wouldn't work. Whenever I turn it around, the emulator screen would go straight back to portrait mode after the emulator started. I tried putting an exception in ChangeScreen that forced it to always be in landscape, but it still didn't work after the emulator started up. Oh well. Guess I'll just live with it.
Use this it's a perfect solution

You can also do it from QuickMenu 2.8 (options QuickMenu->Screen->Rotate left, right,etc)
My launcher and app launcher have gone too landscape mode twice! Maybe the official froyo build might support it.
First Time (Launcher)
This happened like 2 weeks ago. I was on an app holding my phone in landscape. When I clicked home, my phone went crazy and switched the launcher from portrait to landscape like 3 times, until it stopped at landscape. But after click on an app and coming back it went back to normal.
Second Time (App Launcher)
This happened today! I was in english class and my friend asked to see my phone. After she played with it for 5 minutes, she was giving me the phone and at the same exact time she clicked the back button to exit the facebook app and I accidently clicked the volume down button. The phone vibrated and the app launcher was on landscape.
You don't understand how many times I tried repeating that process, but it didn't work.
The funny thing is when my phone went into landscape the first time, the widgets were FULLY supported!
So maybe the official froyo build might actually have the landscape option.
That would be awesome! It's one of those things that bothers me when I exit an application in landscape mode.
I somehow managed to get the lock screen to display in landscape! Accidentally pressed the power button twice when using the browser and rotating

I think thi also happend to me on 2.1. i think there is a landscape mode but disabled for phones without keyboard. think of a phone with a keyboard they have to go to landscape when you pull the keyboard out, or els it will look stupid
This has happened with the dock for me when going to the home screen after being docked in the car dock.

Can you guys take a screenshot of that?
difficult to do that. It has to be in car dock and in car dock, you can't attach the USB cable. I am sometimes amazed that Google still doesn't have screenshot feature other than the debug mode one.
If you put your phone on the car dock (turns everything to portrait mode) and click "exit car mode" you will go to the home screen in portrait mode. If you lock the screen while on the car dock and after you exit the car mode, you will have a portrait lock screen.
I don't think that they will make it switch by default. IF anything they need to make it an option, I don't want portrait mode on my home screen.
Just use LauncherPro or any other home replacement which supports it.
I haven't had a use for it ever. Pretty pointless if your phone is not docked in landscape mode.

It looks stupid in phone without keyboards too when you're using an app in landscape and phone rings and everything is sideways all of a sudden. Or when you have to rotate the phone when switching between apps because the launcher won't rotate.
I don't know what they are thinking with this issue.
Anyone else notice that the phone will automatically go into landscape mode even if the phone is being held upright? For instance, when I open the market, it will always change to landscape. Is this a 2.2 feature or is something buggy?
80+ views and no replies... I'm guessing this is something unique to me? Alright then, is there any way to recalibrate the phone's orientation?
It's not just you, but you are a bit wrong on exactly what's happening. If I open an app, initially it will open in portrait mode. Then if I rotate the phone it will go to landscape. Now, hit home, and you go back to Sense and its in portrait. Hold the phone in portrait and open another app, it will be in landscape. It's like the phone stays in landscape in the background whenever you go to the Sense screen which is always in portrait, and then ignores or forgets to switch any running apps back to portrait in the background, and any new apps will open in landscape as well. Annoying... I like the way 2.1 switched ALL apps back to portrait whenever you went back to the home screen. Can anyone patch this?

If the app at any point forces it into landscape, it'll stay landscape if auto-rotate is off at that instance.
It's because you're pissed, and you can't tell vertical from horizontal

Yeah it's a bug, but it's a wierd one.
Took me an hour of googling and messing about, but basically, if you lock rotation in preferences or any 3rd party 'lock rotation' widget, it'll immediately jump into landscape and stay there.
However if you tap on the battery on the bottom right, then the icon under the time (looks like a musical stave) a menu comes up. If you disable auto rotate there it stays in portrait and doesn't jump into landscape.
Is there a way to change the landscape orientation of the kindle (using CM7) for full screen apps? More specifically, I have several games that are played in a landscape orientation, but they do not rotate if you turn the device upside down. The design of my case has a sort of stand, but the way its stands up is the opposite direction than most apps seem to default to. Is there a way to change the default landscape orientation?

I've tried doing the same thing and can not find a way to do it. I did try disabling the 90 degree rotation but the games still play in the default landscape mode.
solved my own problem! check out this app here get your device in the orientation you want, and then lock it. it will keep that orientation when you go into apps. however, its not pretty and the simple ui isn't perfect. I'm thinking this would work better...but it costs money...so we'll see. this works for now though
