Thanks

i have not found any way, i have downloaded launcher pro, (free version available) and that allows portrait home screen, also the ability to hide the notification bar, and afew other tweeks, the apps draw can also be viwd in portrait, but strangly the dial pad stays in landscape.
if you want me to i can upload a few pics for you, please note i also have beautiful widgets (sense like) clock on my home screen.
When I used default launcher one time I somehow got it to portrait but when I tried again it didn't worked...
I had some app force close when it happened...
@ghosty_uk thanks for the suggestion I already instaled LauncherPro but there's something about it I don't like. Anyway it's not a big deal.
thanks.
Hi so I know that if we use an app that takes a lot of memory right before going to the home screen, it redraws (for alt. launchers mostly). ive fixed THAT problem but I have a phone that has a portrait qwerty slider and even though it doesnt need to change orientation, the homescreen redraws and so it takes a good 10 secs until its ready any way to fix this?
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.
I'd been a big fan of ADW Launcher EX for a long time.
It seems the development has died unfortunately though.
My favorite feature was the ability to quickly switch between 2 dockbars. One had the standard 4 + app drawer button, and the other was a scrollable dock which effectively could contain many more.
This was great for phones (not really needed in tablets) where I needed 6-8 quick access apps.
The very last versions of ADW completely removed this feature, inexplicably. I'm running the version that last had this feature, which runs okay, but was hoping for more ICS features.
I cannot find any currently maintained Launcher that also has this feature (Apex and Nova Launchers don't to my knowledge). Many/most have scrollable dockbars, but no quick-switch alternate ones.
Anyone know of any?
I know Zeam Launcher (free from the market) has scrollable dock, but not sure what you mean with alternating docks.
Zeam's a known entity. Nice and quick. But no alternate dockbar.
The dockbars can be switched with a button press, or gesture. I linked mine to home. Press home while in launcher-->5 other apps pop up as a dockbar. Press home again-->back to the original 4+app drawer button. Repeat.
Ah,never knew this was in the old ADW Launcher! I use CircleLauncher to popup more apps from my home. But can't use hardware button.

I tried out TSF shell briefly, still needs some development but was a nice change from the norm
Has all apps on the main home screen with some great looking scrolling animations
Is there any way to make the home screen landscape, while using Sense?
I can do it with Nova Launcher, but I am trying to "wean" myself into using Sense..
Thanks!
rotation lock
There is an app called rotation lock or soothing and works great...
