I hate landscape, is there a way to keep the streak 2.2 froyo in portrait all the time, i have adw for the homescreen but when i go to dailer or anyother menu it flips to landscape unless i have auto-rotate screen checked to which the screen goes all over the place at times. is there a theme or hack to HELP???
That's interesting. I hate portrait.

I too hate landscape. I have ADW locked in portrait, but it'd be really nice if I could get the phone to be in portrait mode for all of the apps instead of having to wave my phone around to get it in portrait. And the lockscreen is always landscape no matter what!
I've tried various orientation locking apps from the market, but they all lock it in landscape. Anyone know a solution? I'm using streakdroid 1.6.1 (soon to be 1.8.1).
I think Dell Streak is best at landscape. I have it locked on ADW on Landscape.
Don't know if this works for just the homescreen or not, since if I had my way I'd never go into portrait, but someone posted this a few weeks a few weeks ago on modaco:

Go into settings, find system persistant in orientation

if you load 341 froyo 2.2.2 there is an option to disable rotation completely.

Wouldn't this just force the Streak into landscape-mode or does it stay in portrait-mode when disabled?

Sorry misread the post thaught it was landscape he wanted
Portrait for whole system
Hi,
I've been seeing the forum threads for portrait mode on the Dell Streak but all have just options for the launcher reorientation.
I have currently locked the system to landscape only since its extremely bothersome when the system is on auto rotate and it rotates by 180 degrees. However even with this, there are apps like Astrid tasks, etc which have some of their screens in portrait - which is a bit irritating...
With the landscape mode its not possible to try an operate the device with one hand. In the portrait mode it is a bit more easier to reach with the thumb across the screen to the opposite side corners and by sliding the hand down the entire screen can be accessed with a single hand when you have to.
Is there some mode where the full system can be made completely in portrait? Of course its understandable that select apps like Klondike, etc will run only on their default landscape mode but is there nothing that can be done for the rest of the system? Something that can probably just be included as a command in the install.txt file for Streakdroid packages perhaps?
I run Streakdroid 1.9.0 and love the new Stage UI. Not particularly impressed with ADW or LauncherPro.
Thanks in advance.
Hell all,
I am running 2.2 on my streak [flashed using QDLtool at streakdroid.com] my question is is there a way for portrait view to be set as the default? When you click settings > display > and check the box for auto rotate screen, it keeps the screen in landscape mode.
Anyone know if its possible to have portrait mode be set as default? Thanks guys.
I tried many screen rotate apps but they just not working for streak since streak was default set in landscape mode.
Not until I use an app call Go Launcher, it can lock it in protrait mode. My streak works like a charm now.
You have to leave auto orientation on to use portrait on the streak. Can't make it portrait only unfortunately.
Dell Streak powered by StreakDroid 1.7.0
ADW Launcher EX
You have to rotate your phone to portrait. Then disable the auto rotate screen.
I was wondering if there was a way to "lock down" rotation so that the landscape orientation would always be such that that the LCD buttons were always to the right in landscape and to the bottom when the phone was rotated to portrait.
Any ideas or Apps that I've missed?
To lock to landscape just turn off orientation in settings ....to lock to portrait. Use adw launcher and select system persistent

Not the question he asked
The O/P wants to keep landscape/portrait ability but limit it to one direction only. For example the port is always the screen bottom in landscape and always the left side in portrait.
Exactly... I want to be able to lock the streak/ui down to only one portait and one landscape... basically establish to fixed "tops" and then use the accelerometer to swotch between those two. Is that possible in 2.2.
Btw, what's "o/p"?

I've been looking for an app or way to lock the orientation of my Mini Pro in landscape mode even if the keyboard is not out, AND even if i have my phone standing in portrait.
i know there's an automatic orientation sensor that switches it to landscape if I tilt the phone, but I want the orientation to be ALWAYS in landscape.
any app? i would really appreciate it.
THANKS guys!
Use widgetlocker app..its perfect for locksreen in landscape or potrait mode.

thanks will check it.
UPDATE: unfortunately, its giving me forceclose errors when doing it in landscape. works fine online in portrait
installed custom ROM? adw has its that kind of option under system preferences.
adw can lock its landscape mode no problem, but only the homescreen. i want the LockScreen to be in permanent landscape too. I tried WidgetLocker for the Lock Screen but it works in portrait only and it forcecloses when i try it in landscape. weird.
i dont have custom rom. my phone is rooted though.
I have had the Dell Streak with a 5” 480x800 screen for 2 years and love the form factor. Today I moved to the ATT Samsun Note. Thanks to these forums it is rooted.
On my Dell streak the entire phone was always in landscape mode. The lock screen was landscape, when you went to settings in apps they were always landscape. Is there a way to force the Samsung Note to do this?
I installed an app called Rotation App and it helps a lot but after a couple of hours it resorts back to portrait. With that app the lock screen is always portrait.
Does anyone have any idea on changing this? Again it is rooted and I will edit files like build.prop to make the change. I just do not know what to look for.
You can force it with an alternate launcher like GoLauncher, ADW or Launcher Pro. If you were like me with your streak, you were probably running an alternate launcher anyways so it shouldn't be any different (unless you were still on 1.6 or you actually liked StageUI).
TouchWiz won't do it unfortunately.
I do run alternative launcher called Zeam that works in landscape or portrait. Every time I unlock the phone it has rotate the screen to show the Zeam Launcher. Using ‘Rotation App’ it forces the default launcher to go into landscape mode. For some reason the settings only last a couple of hours then the phone goes back and both launchers are portrait.
It seems like on the Dell Streak it of forced in landscape all the time.
I installed Widget Locker that can force the lock screen to landscape. It seems to be working nice now. It has a ICS theme for the landscape unlocker. It looks good.
