[Q] X10 mini home screen landscape mode - Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini

Hello guys. I am the owner of a x10 mini...Yes yes i know pro is better but if i have gone for pro i would have to wait 5 days until the shop bring it. So my question is that x10 mini pro can turn the home screen into landscape mode why x10 mini can't??? Any of you any idea how to fix this???
Thanks in advance
My regards,
Ribben

It can, simply goto settings, sound and display and tick the box branded 'Orientation'!

I think he is asking about the home screen. If it's the home screen (widgets/clock) I think there is no landscape.

Sorry guys my mistake.... Indeed i mean the home screen!

I knew what he was asking about and my statement still applies

I've tried it on my X10 mini, and whilst that option happily lets everything else display in landscape mode, the Default S.E. homescreen steadfastly refuses.
Other homescreens (such as ADW Launcher) go into landscape correctly, so I guess it's either a limitation of the default homescreen, or there's some other option hidden away.
The mini pro's default homescreen does do landscape quite happily, however, presumably because it'd be weird when using the hardware keyboard otherwise!

Ahhh I see, I'm using adwlauncher that's why, sorry for my misunderstanding. Haven't got a clue, however I hope you get this sorted
I'm assuming you can't do it, but maybe a fix for it Xmas be developed?

thanks all of you guys for your support!!! Yes i know adw launcher and it's only drawback is beacause i also use beautiful widgets when i enter in landscape mode the home weather widget is getting messy...

ADS Launcher EX

Has anyone else tried this launcher? I found it in the market tonight. it's like a new upgrade from the original ADS with more customizations like scroll animations. It's readily really good.
it has resizeable widgets?

Firstly, to save any confusion, this is ADW Launcher EX. It's a paid version of ADW Launcher and is worth every penny! It keeps all the original features of ADW Launcher but adds a lot of extra features such as customised home scrolling animations and the home edit function from the Galaxy S.
Goodbye Go Launcher, you have been outclassed! This is my new home app.
Hot tip: disable desktop bounce when using animations. Looks 1000 times better.
ahh thank you for that. Stopping the desktop bounce did make it look a lot better. Amazing!
And to the guy that said LP is still better.lmao, buy this app and then judge it. LP cant touch the new ADW EX launcher.
I paid for LP plus and icons a few days ago. If I new the new adw was coming out I would of waited. The new adw is very nice,slick and quick.

Does this version still have the "feature" of swiping the dock to hide/unhide? I never could find a setting to disable that, main reason I went to lp...

I went ahead and purchased the app, it's very nice. The most important to me was the ability to increase the size of icons (setting at 125 looks good, as I move past 150 it starts to get visibly blurry). The new effects are nice too.
Is anyone else having problems locking the homescreen to portrait with ADW Ex? Both 'portrait' and 'landscape' seem to lock the phone to landscape. Auto is the only way to get portrait, but it seems to briefly flick back to briefly landscape sometimes, even when the phone isn't rotated.

Launcher Pro

Has anyone tried Launcher Pro on the Photon 4G?
Side note i have use it on all my other phones. But I'm wondering if Moto plays nice with LP?
Thanks in advanced to anyone that answers or reads.
Sent from my MB855 using XDA Premium App
I've been using Launcher Pro since the day I got the photon and haven't had any problems.
Launcher pro was the first thing I installed on my photon. Works great.
I have tried several launchers (Launcher Pro, Regina, Honeycomb, GoLauncher) on the Photon, and all seemed to work well. I currently have Launcher Pro installed (that is the launcher I commonly use), and have no problems.
+1 same here!

only flaw i've noticed is that when changing docks, they don't appear normally as they did on phones like EVOs. this is most likely due to the resolution change from WVGA to a qHD display. aside from that though, works beautiful, just gotta have the docks resized to appear proportionate.
Update I went ahead and downloaded it on the Photon 4G and its really nice but in a odd way i miss the the stock look... It could the the way im setting up shop again just like my last 2 phones so i may need to change icons up a bit...

Launcher Pro works fine, but I found an odd bug (I think). If you have the 'Home' button set to open the app drawer, it works in both portrait and landscape. But when you open the kickstand (select home launcher, not clock widget at the popup) and the phone is forced into landscape, the 'Home' button will no longer open at app drawer.
use it everyday i love it
Best launcher ive used so far, had it on my evo,epic and now on my photon =] u wont have any problems with this launcher

Last week I bought shell 3d but it keeps crashing. I've since gone back to Launcher Pro and plan on staying with it.

Anybody with Launcher Pro try it with the HD Station dock? When I put my Photon into the dock and bring up webtop, the photon screen locks up and doesn't turn into a touch pad.
I can't seem to get an app that shows the battery life in 1% increments while using LauncherPro. anyone have one to suggest?
Also, can't find a 3g on/off toggle to work either. suggestion?
other than that, i'm usually a stock guy (from epic), but i am using launcherpro now and love it...the universal inbox was the kicker for me....i didn't like the email box on the stock....on launcherpro things seems to be much more customizable!

Minimalistic text is what I've been using for the one percent battery. The only thing I've noticed with launcher pro is that when I use my kick stand my home screen does nothing. No popup no force landscape nothing. (May have missed something but kick stand box is checked in settings). Other than that it works great and I like it.

No, the kickstands trick doesn't seem to work with any alternate launcher. I use LP and created an activity shortcut I put on my dock that opens the nightstand mode.

GoLauncher EX For Tablet?

Anyone have the solution to completely removing the dock bar for GoLauncher Ex? Im able to hide it but that space is unusable by widgets therefore making it impossible to center widgets.
i've been trying the same thing and i think we have to wait for new golauncher ex release with tablet optimizations

GO Launcher Dock Orientation
Hi,
Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be an option to move the dock from the vertical to horizonal position. But I do have a somewhat fix for.
Hold your finger down on the app drawer icon and drag it to the home screen to create basically a shortcut
Open the GO Launcher 'Preferences'
Go to 'Gesture Settings'
Open 'Glide down action'
Choose 'GO Launcher shortcut'
Choose 'Show/Hide dock bar'
Go back to the Home screen and slide your finger down to hide the dock
You can still access your app draw using the shortcut you created.
I've downloaded the Honeycomb GO Launcher theme so the icon has the same look as Honeycomb's default icon for the app drawer. I've also Held my finger down on the shortcut to the app drawer and clicked rename and removed the text "Appdrawer' and left it blank.
I hope this helps some people.

How do you install and use this theme? I installed it, but it does not show in my app drawer. What am I doing wrong?
Look in your app drawer..Then look for Theme Chooser and select. That should do it for you.
You can find it in Theme choser. It's greyed out. It will say its the wrong size, do it anyways.

That's an issue that goes above themeing. If anyone knows different let me know but as far as I've read this is about as close as you can get.

By "bar", I mean the bar that's in portrait mode. The one you have in phones and not tablets. The bar that has the phone icon on it.

Ate you talking about the dock? I don't know if you can turn that off in ADW, but I use ADW EX and you can turn it off with that. Other launchers may allow turning it off as well, but I can't name any.

I think he's talking about the bar that the buttons themselves are in. That you're stuck with as far as I know. We can get our tablets close to looking like CM9, but CM7 still has limits.
But some more fun things...
I'm using SPB shell 3d with a live wallpaper and I'm still getting good use out of the battery.
Normally SPB as cool as it looks is a resource hog, but I still have lots of free ram with the tablet.

Look for an option in your launcher settings to hide the dock. I know ADW EX has that option. Not sure what you're using there.

In adw XL go to settings then themes and select no theme for dock bar.
To change the apps in the bar hold down on them, drag them out and add what you want.
Sent from my SGH-I897 using xda premium
For the dock bar go to Settings -> Adw launcher -> UI settings -> main dock style. Just select "none"
Yeah, that dock is kinda out of place on a tablet. Just so you can still access your app drawer, just long click on the screen, select launcher action, and pick open/close app drawer. I put one on every screen so that the app drawer is always accessible.
thx,ICS theme is pretty cooooolllllllll
I had to switch back to ADW, and now I got rid of the dock completely.
I have a couple of requests still: How do I add the apps drawer as the guy had on the top right of his NT?
Another thing I would love to do: make the soft home button actually display the apps, as of now, it only pulls the home screen.

Long press on the home screen and select launcher actions. You can control what the home button does though ADW settings.

See my previous post on widget locker, short tutorial there if you need any help after that just pm me
I ended up installing Rom Toolbox (Full or Lite), then opened it and I changed the LCD Density under Build Prop Tweaks to 210. It makes your Kindle, use the default Tablet counterparts, and it changes the lock screen to default android. But doing this makes your default amazon keyboard a bit messy. I recommend you install a different one, then if you install Go locker, or similar app. You will get rid of the lockscreen on default. This is the only way I know of, so that you don't have two screens. Also the new LCD Density adds more Positives, to applications like the camera.
If you use widget locker, it has an option to turn off default lock screen
but if i recall, if this option is checked. Once you restart you see the default lockscreen one time still.
