My home screen is going into landscape and I don't know why,I'm completely stock no root and on 2.2 downloaded from keis, it has done it 3 different times and the only way to get it back to normal is to power off. Is this an option or is something wrong with my phone?

This is usually something that you get with custom launchers such as launcher pro. or adw
I don't have any custom launchers, and now it is stuck permanently, tried power down, battery pull, and nothing any screen that can rotate is stuck on landscape, I'm thinking about a factory reset but that's a pain in the ass, any help is appreciated

Try disabling screen auto rotate in the settings. If it stays in landscape I don't know what to tell you. If it goes back to portrait then great.
Thanks I tried that one already, I'm getting frustrated I can't type in landscape, I'm thinking about reloading 2.2

i would just reset.
If that doesn't work you might have a bad sensor. Reflashing the ROM will probably fix it though.
Is it just the homescreen that is stuck in landscape or is it everything?
Its everything, messaging , app drawer everything, it changed back today and a few hours later its stuck again

Every now and then and seems like more often lately my screen goes black and seems unresponsive. The only thing that fixes it is a battery pull. This is pita being I have an otter case especially when I'm driving. I have left cm7 once because of voice dialing but that got fixed somewhat, but now considering just going stock rooted for stability but I'm pretty sure it would just drive me crazy. Anyway any help would be great. Love this ROM.

Are you using the screen on animation? What happens if you get a call when the screen is like this? Are you only using adw for your launcher? And of course gave you cleared cache and dalvik?
I don't have the answer but I figured I'd generate some discussion... *shrugs*

No screen on animation, I use Adw ex paid. I will try wiping cache and all see if that helps. not sure if phone is still working as screen is blank and can't tell. I did move adw ex to system app wonder of that is causing problems.

when entering and exiting the Facebook app from go launcher the app doesn't fade in or out. it just zooms in or out and disappears or reappears, on my wife's evo 4g it fades just fine, ive tried reinstalling facebook and go launcher and it doesn't fix it. maybe a resolution problem? no other app i have has this problem. all of them fade in and out just fine. been searching on and off for months for others with this problem and have found nothing, would a hard reset fix it? or just deal with it?

So I have just installed the stock jelly bean on my phone and decided that the touchwiz crap used too much RAM so I installed nova. What I found was that when swiping accross on the home screen the folders and widgets would light up around the edges then "turn off" about a second after the swipe has finished. Another unusual thing was as I swiped the clock widget and would go back a minute while retaining the same time and showing two times at the same time. It shows the normal time the same time as the others go back to normal. So I thought I would try Apex launcher. I then found out it didn't he same thing with the icons but not the clock. Is this an S3 fault or is there a hidden setting for this?
Thanks,

P.S. not sure how to make a thread a question on the xda app
This is a well-documented issue at this point. The "fix" turns off hardware rendering via GPU and sends it to CPU. No resolution other than 1) using the "fix," or 2) learning to live with it til it can be addressed.
Thanks for the quick reply. I think I will just try and live with it firbthe moment.

When I minimise my screens, if I try to eliminate one, when I slide a screen to delete it, then the launcher freezes and I get a reboot.. does anyone else have this problem...
Happened to me also. Very irritating. I thought having page Buddy active was culprit... turns out not true. So I fixed it by going back to nova launcher

I would love to attach a screenie.....but it happens so randomly and only lasts a second.
Im presuming that the function is built in because the screen doesnt look all messed up. So does anyone know how to turn Landscape lockscreen on?
Ove looked through the setting but cant see anything? Perhaps im just being a tard?

Android at its core can support a landscape lockscreen. There are a few apps out there that force rotation even when the app doesn't think it should support it. For example, the Netflix app is ALWAYS portrait when in the menu and ALWAYS landscape during video playback, but I used to use an app called "Ultimate Rotation Control", and it allowed it to do the menu in landscape and the video in portrait. I think the same sort of thing would work for you here, but I must admit that it's been a long time since I've used a lockscreen, so I don't know for sure.
Thanks. Ill take a look.
