I realized that the standard Android has Landscape mode in Homescreen (In 2.1). Is this also posible while running Sense UI?
As of yet, it is not possible, and won't be in the coming official hero update. I think mostly because of how widgets would react to such a change. Especially when considering that some widgets are too tall to fit in the smaller height of the landscape layout. But i guess it is, possible, if all widgets got adjusted.

Hello all,
So I love Fancy Widgets' Fancy Home setup - with the sense like time and weather etc.
In landscape mode, the default display for Fancy widget is a landscape style view, with time, then weather, next to it on the right.
In portrait, it shows the time, with the weather under it, just like Sense/Beautiful Widget.
However, on occasion, my Fancy Widget will show the portrait view while I am in landscape - and it looks AWESOME.
Does anyone know if there is a way to make it display this way ALL THE TIME?
I much prefer the portrait style layout...but while in landscape mode.
Thanks!
p.s Has anyone else experienced this? I'm sure someone has - it happens to me once a day I would say.
I`d like to know it, too!
Is there a way to get the desktop screens to be viewed in landscape mode as opposed to portrait mode?

You would need a launcher that supports it. (ADW, Launcher Pro)
I use Go Launcher EX to do this. It looks amazing. The only problem is that the wallpaper does not scroll. I wanted to use MultiPicture Live Wallpaper and a cubed transition effect to give my UI a 3D feel, but unfortunately the North American Note does not allow for wallpaper scrolling.
Just a heads up, you will loose the ability to use a lot of TouchWiz widgets if you change launchers.
Hey guys, Im looking for a launcher that allows for 2 different layouts, a specific layout for portrait, and one for landscape. Ive been trying to get it working nice with the Apex launcher and tablet mod, but the widgets always get screwed up and dont look as nice when flipped to landscape. Any ideas?
With sslauncher you can have different layouts for portrait and landscape mode.
I thought there was a Q&A forum specifically for these.
I'm looking for a clock widget that looks good in both portrait and landscape modes. I'm tired of clock widgets that look like crap when the launcher is in landscape mode (or, if they look good in landscape, they look like crap in portrait), like HD Widgets or Beautiful Widgets.
I've only found one widget that changes its layout completely (read: not just stretches in one dimension and contracts in the other) to adjust itself to its new allocated area: Accuweather. See the attached images for what I mean. Notice the layout is completely different, and nothing overlaps/looks stretched/tiny. Both modes look great.
Now, my problem with Accuweather is that I'm looking for something darker, that looks better with the wallpaper. Do you know of some widget that does the same as Accuweather (different layouts for portrait/landscape) and allows customization?
Thanks!
So... nothing? Nobody knows of a clock/weather widget that is intelligent enough to use different content layouts depending on its available space?
Anyone knows if it's possible and if, then how, to achieve different layouts for portrait and landscape mode.
So basically whenever you rotate your screen (for the sake of example) in Nova launcher Prime, the layout could either separately be set up or it would switch from say 10x8 to like 8x10 or whatever you choose.
At the moment when you rotate the screen the portrait layout obviously looks pretty much messed up (see attachments for example of a messed up landscape layout).
Noone?

up up and away...
Check out sslauncher - as far as I know, it is the only one where this is possible (completely independent layouts for landscape and portrait). Apex has the option to use different grid sizes in portrait and landscape, which can help in certain cases. But I personally use sslauncher because it simply is the most customizable launcher there is!
8 years into the future and still hasn't been addressed.... v7 is due soon, I'm crossing fingers, all of them.
