This is probably a stupid question but I can't find the answer in a few searches.
How can I remove the Landscape mode .zip and let my streak use auto rotate again?
I prefer landscape mode for everything except the dialer and Kindle/Google books. With the new Google books update it now uses landscape and is pretty much unusable in my preferred reading method of laying on my side in bed. I would like to try different screen rotation lockers etc. and see if I can find a solution but I realized I don't know how to remove the Landscape mode without completely starting over by flashing the whole rom.
Refresh the ROM

My portrait mode zip should revert it back for you. Both Simple Streak and my Streakin' are based on 354, so the file involved should be the same.
Thank for the suggestion. I tried flashing your portrait.zip a couple of times and nothing happens. Checking and unchecking auto-rotate display my streak still stays on landscape. Maybe the landscape.zip has stronger mojo than yours. XD
Which launcher are you using? Have you checked the settings for it? Is everything about your streak stuck in landscape? On your lockscreen, is the clock oriented for portrait or landscape? The landscape.zip simply copies an edited file to /system/framework. Mine simply copies back the original and I've used it successfully. Maybe there is something else going on.

You're right! Thank you so much. I had Zeam launcher set to not allow rotation also. Unchecking that box after flashing your .zip makes it rotate correctly. Thanks for taking the time to help me out.

Hi, I'm using a T-Mobile G2 with VillainRom 5. Just wondering if there was some kind of setting or an app which would allow me 180degree rotation.
In one way this would be cool. Like in my car, it would be helpful not to look an idiot when you put it the wrong way round and go "duhhh, why isnt it rotating" when in a rush using copilot. On the other hand, it's a nightmare keeping it to landscape when using the thing in bed for digg or the browser, so I tend to hold it the opposite way to how it would go back to portrait.
I've been looking about for this for a while now and still haven't found anything. Anyone have any suggestions?
I'm having an issue selecting wallopers on my vibrant. I flashes the bionic rom and everything is working very well with the exception on the lock screen image remaining different from my normal wallpaper.
My lock screen has the default tree silhouette with the moon while my unlocked home screen has an image from my gallery. If I try and set the home screen to use a standard tw wallpaper, it just reverts back to my gallery image that I had set before. One thing I can do though, is set a live wallpaper with no issue... Odd.
Anyone have any ideas as to what might be happening?
I was having the same issue until I rebooted.

Turns out that I needed to use the normal shutdown option via android. Quickboot restart was screwing me up somehow.
All is good now though. =)
Thanks for your input!

I had the same issure with eugenes hybrid.. It went away somehow though. I may have rebooted.
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

I use adw launcher on comm rom and mine stays in portrait
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA Premium App
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!
Whenever I set a wallpaper on my tab, after rotating and going back to landscape the background goes blank on half the screen. If I then rotate to portrait and back it resets but it's getting very irritating when this happens. Anyone else getting this or have any idea how to cure it? I even tried turning auto rotate off but still no luck. I also tried other wallpaper apps like wizardrii. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I had the same issue on a certain rom and kernel combo.. Not sure which it was cause I have re-flashed both since then..
thanks for quick reply, sorry should of stated my tab is totally standard touchwiz with no mods.
I'm in the same boat here... I thought I found a fix the other day. I just disabled the screen rotation so my screen stayed in landscape. Worked for about a day or so.
I don't know much on how Honeycomb handles setting wallpapers but i get the feeling it has something to do with that wierd crop function Honeycomb uses.
I use ADWex as my launcher and it still dose it.
I did notice that on my eVo4g (running Gingerbread 2.3.5, using ADWex) that when I turn my eVo from portrait to landscape the wallpaper doesn't resize or reposition its self near as nice as on Honeycomb(when it works like it's supposed to). So much so that I started just using an all black wallpaper.
Most likely its something that can be fixed with some kind of a matinace update. I haven't gottin around to rooting Tab yet to see if it happens on other rooms, and maybe I can get around to it next week.

My wallpaper stopped rotating even though I set it to auto. I flashed the ROM I was using without doing a factory reset first and it got it working again
I had this problem to. Try using Wallpapyrus or Live Multi Wallpaper(wich i use now).
Never had that problem nomore.
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.
