Since I enjoy using the phone in portrait when laying down, I finally found an app that would work. I know there are ROMS that can set the default to portrait, but I also wanted to lock landscape as well (similar to the iphone)
Unfortunately it's $1.49 in the market, but I haven't found any free app that works (most were just widgets that turn auto-rotate on and off)
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.coinsoft.android.orientcontrol
It does work, but be aware that (at least for me with ADW Launcher) when/if one uninstalls the app, the default orientation gets locked to whatever it was last set and will not return to auto.
YMMV.
I'm using it now. It's not bad. Has some flexible configuration options. Thanks for the tip.
I've been looking for something like this. Thanks a mil
Ok just to be sure, this software locks the orientation in Portrait for any applications? Or is it just for the launcher?

That would be stealing
It would violate XDA rules.
hmmm now that true portrait mode is available, maybe there would be some new apps that would follow its method of changing orientation and would be free.
Is there any way to change the boot and/or lock screen default orientation without flashing a custom ROM?

You don't need to flash an entire ROM, there is a thread with the mod here at XDA.
The only other lockscreen option is a replacement lockscreen that allows/forces portrait.
For booting, the initial Dell logo is pretty much hard coded in, but you can use a different boot animation that is portrait. I made one with pics of my grand kids.

Even though I have root, I still need to flash a custom recovery to do this however, correct?
I just prefer the plain jane lockscreen in portrait. I tried all the paid and free options, and for me at least, they sucked.

If you want to flash any kind of .zip file for a theme or boot animations you need a custom recovery. But, you can change the boot animation without using recovery by placing the alternate boot animation in /data/local. If there is a bootanimation.zip file in this directory it over rides the stock boot animation. So you only need a file explorer with root access to do this.
I believe that you do not need a custom recovery to do the portrait lock hack, but I have not done it.
If you don't have StreakMod Recovery installed how are you backing up your phone? I use nandroid to make a backup every couple of weeks at least. You can prevent StreakMod from being over written.

I'm rooted and I'm using Titanium Backup, but I'm still on s Stock Froyo ROM. I'm taking my time and reading as much as I can before I jump into flashing on my Streak, because even though I came from the HD2 and the Vibrant (and flashed those dozens of times) I'm always a little hesitant when I'm trying a new method and I can't afford to brick, maybe more than most, because I can't get ANY decent phones here in Panama.
One provider sells the 8GB Galaxy S for $800!
Thanks for the info. I'd love to have the PIN screen default to portrait also. Does the above mentioned hack accomplish this as well?
I actually had to change my PIN because I couldn't reach "0" when I changed my screen dpi to 180, which I much prefer over the standard, since it was then blocked/obscured by the Emergency Call button.

Im not big on creating new threads but I noticed alot of threads asking about removing bubbles so I created some apks of mymode themes that have the bubbles removed. enjoy

EDIT: Should mention I am using SlideMeRoot5r1. I haven't tested it on stock or other roms, but it should work.
ok I have included system themes now. just push these to /system/app/"themename".apk
example: go into recovery and in adb do: adb push C:\Android\Hoops.apk /system/app/Hoops.apk

Great stuff! Also works fine on a non-rooted phone. Is there anyway you can put something under the icon text? Those of us with light backgrounds have a tough time reading the text.
Any way you could do this for Nest? I mainly use that theme with different wallpaper. Awesome job btw.

Only issue I came across is that the preview images for these do not load in the mymodes app when you're changing the themes.
Also, randomly it froze up and kept trying to reload the home page but kept freezing and repeating. If this happens, just power down and back on.
It'd be great to see the other themes get this as well
Previews showed for me, I really like these as well.

my phone is not rooted.
I got the issue solved now.
This is just a warning for those with non rooted:
Your phone could freeze up from these modified theme files.
If they do, you will not be able to get past the mytouch slide startup screen.
If you get frozen you will have to do a long battery pull (i let me out for almost 7 hours, i'm sure its shorter, i just did it while i was as work), then boot into recovery mode. This shoot then boot to the red triangle/exclamation. pull battery again (short pull), power phone up to the boot manager and do a fastboot. Hopefully if anyone else goes thru this, it will help them. I wouldnt want to see anyone else freaking out like i was this morning.
Note:Hard reset wont fix this issue
Hello fellow Arc owners.
I have a quick question for you all.
What do you wish your handset could do that it can't?
Something you've always wanted to be able to do with your phone but has never happened, no-one's ever found a way.
Whatever this something is, it has to be possible to do by way of an app - so no super-high-res screens, batteries that last a year on a single charge or anything else hardware related, we're just talking software.
And I'm not talking an updated GingerBreak or something like that. I mean a proper, legit, above board idea.
I'd love to hear any/all sensible ideas, thanks.
NB: I'm not looking to steal anyone's ideas, if you've got a plan for the next killer app then go for it and I wish you all the best.
I'm just trying to find out if there's a niche out there that could be filled...
Im thinking......facial or thumb print unlock screens.....no idea why though.

Thumb print.. won't be feasible on current screens
And facial.. would take too long compared to swiping ?
A snap shot feature would be nice like a system restore. I know there are way to do it in Recovery but it would be nice to have a application within Stock ROM because Recovery is not available within Stock we need to Flash the custom ROM like CM for it.
A better (and free) lock screen could be good ! ..
I used to love how I could use the iPhone/iPod as a touchpad to control the mouse on the computer. Something similar for the arc would be a good idea. Should be graphically pleasing though.
I love to be able to use the camera button unlock the phone directly to the camera app, by long pressing it, so it doesn't happen by mistake. And when you turn off the screen or press the back button it would go back to being locked.

As mentioned, finger prints would require different hardware.
Facial recognition is simply fraught with too many problems to be practical.

Really !! You know how to create a snapshot? Or access it?
Android 2.3.3 Gingerbread Allows Screenshots Without Rooting
Don't know anything more about it though, sorry.
Sorry I think you got me wrong ...! Snapshot i meant a complete image of the system so we can restore it back to previous state. Let's say if something screws up we can restore the image
Right, ok.
I thought you had made two suggestions - screenshots being one and backups being the other.
I could be wrong but I'm not sure that's possible to do unless you're in recovery. I have a feeling that it's only possible to copy certain parts of the OS when it's not running.
As I say, I could be completely wrong but I can't help but feel that there's a reason why recovery is needed to made Nandroid backups.
May be I want to capture video of the activities I do on my device (just like capturing screenshot)...
Though m not sure if its achievable or not!!!
an app which can change anything in the system .. like the default wallpaper settings ..i dont mean the main wallpaper ... change the color .. change the notification bar ... but that easy change anything in the system ... where u can feel easy on making ur own system ... but the problem i dono how to make i hope somebody go on with my idea .... its free for u all ^_^ ... the first who will do this plz let me be the first one who tries it ^_^

I am expecting an application that can show the time and other notification when screen is off. It means that the time can be checked without needing to wake up the screen. W 800 used this technology before. Very useful!

+1 , and the time/notifications have to move up over the screen after each minute (like a screensaver) (like Nokia/Symbian has)

I'm sure that a lot of you know this already, and also that most of you enjoy the Sense 3.0 lockscreen. However, in case any of you wanted the simplicity of the AOSP lockscreen, here is a simple way to do it. With the Evo 4G it was the same way, but you needed to use the AOSP clock for the alarm to function properly. So far I've had no issues with it here, I'm able to unlock the screen and click dismiss, and the alarm turns off. So I've had no problems using it yet. If you have a screen lock or whatever, you'll need to enter it to unlock before being able to dismiss. That is good, to ensure you're really awake, lol.
Using Root Explorer or any other root level file manager, such as ES File Explorer, navigate to the /system/app folder. Scroll down to HtcLockScreen.apk, and rename it to HtcLockScreen.bak (I prefer to rename change the file extension to .bak so the app disables, in case I choose to go back to it, it's as simple as changing it back to .apk and rebooting). Once the HTC lockscreen is disabled, you're left with the stock AOSP lockscreen, which is there all along. Don't forget to make sure Root Explorer is mounted as R/W before doing that. Once done, reboot. You should then have the AOSP lockscreen.
EDIT: And btw, I'm currently not using the Rosie launcher. I'm using the stock gingerbread launcher, so I'm unsure if or how this will affect using Rosie. Report back if there are any problems with that, so others know. Thanks.

I'm using the launcher from the Supra rim thread. He has an apk attached. I haven't had ant issues with it. The apologize drawer doesn't have that "rounded scroll " effect when you scroll it, if that's what you mean. Otherwise it works great.

It is a good lock screen. But either way it's always best to have options.
I'm now trying to switch to the AOSP lockscreen. Works fine when I rename the htclockscreen.apk file but... I'd sure like a way to turn off the menu button which completely defeats the entire lock system. Reason I want to switch is that HTC still doesn't know how to make a lock screen that doesn't constantly pocket answer. Sense 3.0 is no better. So the AOSP lockscreen would do the job: if I could disable the menu button so that pressing menu does nothing (like it should). Anyone know how to disable the menu button on the lockscreen? Would also be nice to turn off the haptic garbage when sliding the slider too.
Any info? I found a flash for the Evo 4G that disables the menu button on the lockscreen but it involved replacing a .jar file in the framework folder. I'm thinking an Evo 4G file in there would probably not be compatible with the Evo 3D so we probably need our own file, right?
Thanks,
Mike
Hell yeah. Just what I've been looking for. Thanks. Works great!
is there any way to do the opposite?
use aosp throughout the whole rom
but have the htcsenselockring?
sorry if it had already been asked.
Guess I'm stuck with the HTC lockscreen answering in my pocket. You lose too much using the AOSP lockscreen:
(1) Caller ID on lockscreen: have to unlock to see who is calling and after that, there's no way to relock before you put it back in your pocket: pressing the power button disconnects the call. Smart!
(2) Menu button completely overrides the lock. Again... SMART!
(3) Idiotic haptic feedback while sliding the lock.
Just wish HTC would do it right. All they'd have to do is offer a side to side or different type of unlock as an option. Screen Suite actually works pretty well but you have two choices of a lock slider: iPhone (don't get me started) and a stupid cartoony spaceship that looks completely ghey. Sigh... this should be SIMPLE!

There is a ROM that has that, it has the sense lock screen but an ASOP look. Sadly I forgot which one it was since I flash like every other day.
Edit: Its Project ROM.
The easiest way to get the AOSP lockscreen instead of Sense imo is just go into Titanium Backup, go to Backup/Restore tab, scroll down to HTC Lockscreen(not sure of the name of the actual app but it is obvious and has HTC Lockscreen in the name), uninstall it and then reboot your phone and you will have AOSP lockscreen.
I used this method but now when my screen is off and I receive a call, I have to unlock the screen, but it only displays the red end button as if I am already in a call. It does not allow me to answer the call. Any remedy to this? Thanks

There doesn't seem to be any alternative locksreen options for the Streak that actually flash the frawework as opposed to running as a application/service. Is this correct? Is there any reason why other devices (such as Captivate) have flashable lockscreens but the Streak doesn't?
Just curious, thanks.

Which app should be replaced for this to work?
Does the lock screen come from a system app or is it "built-in" to the kernel or some other part of the framework?
How can you make sure that the replacement lockscreen integrates into the system like the built-in lockscreen?
You make it sound simple, but is it?

Well it depends on the app, not all apss will install from that folder, in that folder of you rom, if its a custom rom that is, are all the system apps installed, like the browser, camera, launcher/launchers etc...
For instance, before i install a custom rom, i will go through deleting all apps i don't want and adding ones i do, from experience i know some do not install ok but most do.
So say, put Agile Lock free edition in that folder, install the rom and see if it works for you.
Just an example.

Your advice is offered as an "easy" solution, but without any basis. I personally could care less about using a different lockscreen, but if you are going to offer a suggestion you might want to think it through, test it, or make it clear that you have not tried it and have no idea if it will work.
And even though I knew that you could modify custom ROMs prior to flashing, perhaps the OP did not?

Well Marvin, no point biting my head off when you failed to answer his question as well, you know as well as i do, that its not possible to change the lockscreen of the Android OS itself as its very tightly integrated with the rest of the OS.
The solution i am offering is to simply install a 3rd party lockscreen and use no lock to disable the system lockscreen, i don't think anybody has another solution to the android lockscreen debacle.

Some of these i cannot find as MODS,
Part is included in stock roms. Part is available as mod... which one is impossible to find for you?
BTW, some examples are... ridiculous. as an instnce: what for do you need GPS fast lock? My SGS catches lock within 4 secs inside the building... Same, scrolling wallpaper. 4 way rotation... you mean: in 3D space + time?.
Cell standby issue - I did not observed any issue here.
Similarily:
ROM will wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache

- where's your problem with the wipe from CWM??? Is this a MOD? RLY?? So, you want to do it automatically, with the frequency of? 20Hz?
and, last but not least: please have a look at the term which describes your requests:

You know, I'm old... but I still remember the good times when kiddos got a bike for their 6th Birthday. I'm sure that you'll not believe how much simpler it was, as they knew what to do with the toy... and what to expect.
Finally, bcs I'm tired and bored: flash stock ROM, backup requested stock bloatware on card with Titanium Backup, then flash whatever you want, Lumia 800 Win 8 even, and restore the apps.

The question is how can i take "Part" from the stock rom over to the custom rom

Wow thanks for the deep insight but i just copied and pasted what was included in the ROM from the page, thanks for helping anyway and unfortunately not all the "bloat apps" are located there which is okay ill take a look into the Kitchen thing as well as simply backup with titanium backup but i am worried about compatibility.

BTW: have you decided to keep the bloatware, as in first post, or to remove it, as you stated in third???
