Is there some reason why the lockscreen doesn't respect the choice to auto-rotate or not. I would expect it to stay landscape if I have auto-rotate unselected. And rotate with the homescreen when it is selected.
Just hoping ASUS fixes this in a future update.

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...
Is there any way to prevent my screen from auto rotating UNLESS I have the keyboard up, my phone seems to like to rotate frequently when I only need it to rotate for the landscape keyboard.
I am unaware of a way to get it to just rotate with the landscape keyboard but you can download something like Widgetsoid that will allow you to put a "Auto-Rotate" toggle on your homescreen so when you want to use the landscape keyboard you can just toggle the rotating to "On" and then when you're done you can toggle it "Off".

Anyone know of a bug-free mod that will allow portrait or landscape lockscreen, depending on the orientation of the device and tied to the native auto-rotate setting? Odexed if out there?
So this thread in the general section got me interested in seeing what hacks were possible for rotation. Editing the SecPhone.apk enabled rotation for the in-call screen. A simple addition to build.prop permanently enables rotation in the lock screen.
Enabling the launcher to rotate is not too hard to enable but after enabling launcher rotation, the app drawer gets goofed up in a couple ways:
1) If the landscape integers/dimens files aren't adjusted, the default fifth row is cut off, showing only the top few pixels of each icon
2) If the landscape integers/dimens files are adjusted (in my case, to simply have 4 rows and the default 5 columns in landscape mode - the default 5x5 is still in portrait), except that when you rotate the device while in the app drawer, the settings of the first orientation are applied to the new orientation. (When the app draw is entered from either rotation, the proper grid settings are applied.
This is potentially problematic when switching from portrait to landscape. The question is how to have the launcher properly switch to the proper grid settings. I'm sure there is a setting I'm missing, but I don't know what it is.
Anyone have any idea on what I might be doing wrong?
Please help -- how to get such a basic feature?
Not toggle auto-rotation, but directly toggle between portrait and landscape, and the orientation remains fixed.
How everybody lives with auto-rotation, it's just uncomfortable. Xposed additions don't work anymore.

This should be a viable solution for you.
