Hey everyone I am posting here a question about GingerBlur.I hope not to get killed with bad comments and stuff like that that only wastes your time and mine.I have been reading the new gingerblur v4 thread but 600 + posts are insane to read.
I know that GBlur doesnt support landscape on the homescreen,I DL it and I can't get landscape on anything except apps that are strictly landscape.
For example browser even when set to auto rotate doesnt do it or any of the menus on settings.
Only apps that do it are camera andry birds and some otehr games and netflix.
Is this normal?? or is it an issue with just my install?

Has anyone else had this issue with auto rotate? Using the community rom obviously. Another issue I have been having with it is going in and out of airplane mode, more often than not it won't pick up signal again and requires a reboot. Which is no where near as annoying compared to the auto rotate (yes I tried disabling it on both the pull down and in the settings -> display menu).

the next version of community rom (1.3) will have a version of the rotating launcher2 that can be enabled by the power control toggles....the newest tsm/psykdup mods enable this, but the launcher had to be edited accordingly
so hold on a *little* bit longer
Good to know im also having this problem and it really sucks but I guess its better than problems that come with ota froyo

since ive upgraded to 1.2 my home screen doesnt rotate anymore
like i said before..the launcher in 1.3 will *when its out* allow for toggling of rotation from the power controls
was it disabled in 1.2? because after i updated my screen no longer rotates. im glad because it got real annoying. im only bringing this up because if it was, the OP can just update to the newest version to fix his problem
Dont turn your phone sideways!
this is making me feel like a total loooooser, but I can't find the setting to remove the 3D homescreen "effect." -- I'm running LGS 1.6 and don't remember the setting being so difficult to find when I turned the damn thing on, but now I think its screwing with my screen...
Mostly visible on the homescreen, but never in an running app, are a bunch of static lines that have gone away in the past with a reboot, but are getting worse and worse now...any ideas or is anybody else experiencing this on this ROM?
Thanks
menu > settings > display?
You might also try a fresh flash. Sometimes android just plays better after it's cleaned up.

Yea..the setting wasn't there...I've restored since b/c I had a host of other probs and it showed up...thanks guys
ok here is the problem my screen wont rotate did a soft and hard reset and all only time it switches view are when i'am in the andriod market ,netflix and so forth ,but at the home screen everything is the long way now it cool when iam reading my book or my comic books and i think i can deal with it but i do like it when its the other way too any help with this problem would be great
Did you check settings, screen and auto rotate?
Or did you lock your screen with a setting in one of the launchers?
And how did you get your market and Netflix to rotate? Mine doesn't.

You need to be a bit more informative about the problem brother. Things like what model do you have( wifi only, 4G...) are you running a stock unrooted Tab or are you rooted and running a custom rom, if so which rom and are you using the stock launcher or a 3rd party one??? It'll help us to figure out what's going on.
Now after rereading your post a few times this is what I'm understanding. When you say "long ways" I'm assuming you mean portrait... right? That would mean that your Tab is stuck in portrait (longer from top to bottom and shorter from side to side) and the only time it jumps to landscape is when you go to Apps that are written to automatically switch to landscape when opened, like the Market and Netflix. You also say that you've done a soft rest (meaning completely powered off your Tab) and did a hard rest (meaning you did a factory rest) am I right so far???
If I'm on the right track with what I've posted above and this is assuming that your running a stock unrooted Tab and the stock TW launcher you could very well have a bad accelerometer. That's the sensor in side of our Tabs that tell it how your holding it. If you did a factory rest (hardrest) then that should have reset your Tab it exactly how it was when you took it out of the box. And auto rotation would be set on by default.
Go to settings> screen> and make sure you have "auto rotate screen" checked.
Hit us back with some more info so we can try and help out a bit more.

So far your right on...
Hey SouthPhilly...
I noticed this thread suddenly stopped.
I am having the exact same issue, and have done a reset to factory on my device and the screen still does not rotate unless forced to by an app.
Just wondering if you were going to launch in to a possible solution.
thanks.

I'm wondering the same thing here. I have the same issue with my GTab 7510..bleh!
wipe cache.
sometimes it works
Has anybody looked at this? Some apps rotate the tablet so that you have to hold skinny side in portrait, which sucks. Would be nice to be able to rotate and hold fat side.
Hoping for that too.
hi
few days ago, i discovered "Ultimate Rotation Control"
There is a 7days (or longer Trial) at google play. I'm not allowed to post Links, so u have to search it by ur self, sure isnt a big deal.
Set it to Force Rotation, and Apps (inclusive market previews) will rotate like u want!
greets nuts
it also is a setting in 4.0 if im correct, could be a cm9 feature
yup
For some reason Sony limited the tablet to three axis'.
However with a orientation app you can use all four.
All of the orientation apps that I have tried reduce the performance of the tablet. Just try one, force an orientation, and try scrolling the homescreen. You'll see how slow it is.
Hmm, with Ultimate Rotation Control, i have no slow downs - its working like ever, only thing is, Apps starting in the right rotation, not upside down .
Until now i'm using the testversion, and its says 18days till end - not 7 as u get told in market. Hoping for ICS, too

could u tell me an App what do all 4Axis by auto rotation?
greetz nutz
URC works very well for me, but slows my launcher too, what a pity...
Search Set Orientation by Eyes-Free Project on Google Play, is simple and works nice.
I've seen elsewhere that on some Samsung devices (and others possibly) that there is a separate setting for the screen brightness in the stock browser (and possibly other places).
Everything seems to indicate that there is a menu option to adjust this ... however on my S3 there's no settings option in the menu .... what am i missing ?
This was fine last week when i got the phone, but now something has made it almost impossible to read (think using sunglasses outside on a bright day ) ... i think something i installed has caused the problem but not sure. damned thing works just fine when you leave the browser or even go to the bookmarks page ... Ahhh !!
Cheers ... Andy
Did you try scrolling browser options to the bottom?
Doh ... !
