I know there is a setting which allows you to lock the screen, but I just want to lock the home screen and app drawer to Portrait view rather than Landscape; is this possible? (I have root)
Cheers

Which launcher are you using? There should be an option in the UI settings of the launcher settings itself.
For example, I'm using ADW launcherEX and it's under ADWsettings -> UI Settings -> Screen Preferences -> Home orientation -> Portrait...
piece of cake... Should be simillar in GOLauncher or LauncherPro too, dig around
Thanks so much, it was under a weird setting in GoLauncher, I eventually found it.
Cheers!

On my 70IT the landscape is the default screen orientation when autorotation is off. Is there any apps or tweaks that can change the orientation to portrait without autorotation?
I use LauncherPro as my homescreen (faster & more flexible) and it has an orientation lock setting. I can't tell you about the stock home screen since I'm waiting for Archos to send me my replacement A70...
Only launcher that will remain locked in Portrait mode for me has been Go Launcher. Launcher Pro, ADW.Launcher, and Zeam seem to lock landscape wise, even if you say portrait.
For this matter I use AutoRotate OnOff widget. You can find it in Market. Hope it works for you.
Widgetsoid!!
This has the best widgets I have seen...
hello guys , i have a question . i would like to change the lock screen, but i don't know how to change. any guys know ?
thank you
Widget Locker. The popular most app out there.
(I don't use any 3rd party Lock Screen app.)
Regards.
You mean changing the way it looks? Or the image?
Just so people are aware widget locker looks good but does drain your battery a lot so i just stick with the normal lockscreen.

That I said at least 10 times, but people don't care as they love the app so much
Just flash a ROM that has lockscreens...

If you mean change the image then hit the menu button from the home screen and select "settings"
In the subsequent menu select "Display" then the top menu item "Screen Display". On this menu you will find options to set font size, home screen wallpaper, lock screen wallpaper and lock screen clock position.
Some widgets also offer lock screen custom options.
You can also go to the "Location and Security" menu in the main settings menu for some other options on the lock screen like password or pattern requirements to unlock.
Hope this is of some help.
I just update ADW and in doing so it changed my setup including not a big deal, however after looking through all of the menu settings I cannot figure out how to hide the main dock bar. I did have my setting backed up but when I restore then the system revert back to the new ADW defaults. Anyone figure this out?
I just figured this out a few minutes ago.
adw settings -> general behavior -> gestures -> swipe down actions -> open/close dockbar
go back to main screen, swipe down on your screen to close the dock bar
go back to settings and change your gesture back to whatever you were using.

Nice find, I just found a way myself by long pressing on the screen and choosing launcher actions than open/close dock bar.
Now to find out how to place an icon outside of the blue square in other words place an icon anywhere on the screen as before.

Found a problem with both methods, if you rotate your tab the bar comes back up and you have to swipe it again.
If you don't want the dock disable it in the settings

That setting is missing with the recent update also the secondary dock is now gone in this update.
Did the update remove full screen use? Unless I am not understanding the settings in the update. I have been messing with it for an hour. Last update was amazing, this one, seems to have lost some functions.

Apparently the recent update consoldate the old "Dock Bar" and the "Main Dock". They seem to have removed the setting for show/hide the dock from the settings menu, but like others discovered you can still toggle it via the old "show/hide dock bar" command.

The developer has posted another update the fixes the hiding of the bar not sticking also you can use the whole screen again to place icons. I like ADW again.
Easiest thing I've found is to use the "Open/close Dockbar" shortcut.
Longpress desktop ~ Launcher Actions ~ Open/close Dockbar will put the shortcut on the desktop. Then you can open or close it with one touch instead of swiping and/or setting/resetting your ADW Settings.
Anybody know how to get back to the settings after hiding it on your home screen?

Make a shortcut with Anycut? Or are you referring to ADW settings?
By default in ADW, swipe up or down toggles showing and hiding the bar
Hi,
is there a way to disable the autorotate just on the home screen? coming from Note 1 then Note 2; those 2 devices allowed the home screen's autorotate to be disabled but enabled on everything else.
thanks in advance!
I use apex launcher, much more custom settings for every aspect of the launcher and entire user interface.

I think I tried other launchers including this one. they always scroll your home screen's wallpaper and I didn't care for that but that might have changed. but anyway, i guess the better question is, is this possible using touchWiz ? thanks.
To disable Home screen rotation only with Apex Launcher
Set your global System rotation settings to Auto
Then in Apex Launcher settings, go to Behavior Settings and set it to Default
Now your Home screen will remain in portrait mode when rotated to landscape, but apps such as Chrome will rotate to Landscape.
