Silly little problem but whenever i change my home screen wallpaper it goes back to original size and therefore will not fit my home screen. I'm assuming its using sammy's original tw aspect ratio that uses more than the one screen i have i'm also using apex launcher.
same problem here :/
Landscape or portrait?

I've been looking for an app or way to lock the orientation of my Mini Pro in landscape mode even if the keyboard is not out, AND even if i have my phone standing in portrait.
i know there's an automatic orientation sensor that switches it to landscape if I tilt the phone, but I want the orientation to be ALWAYS in landscape.
any app? i would really appreciate it.
THANKS guys!
Use widgetlocker app..its perfect for locksreen in landscape or potrait mode.

thanks will check it.
UPDATE: unfortunately, its giving me forceclose errors when doing it in landscape. works fine online in portrait
installed custom ROM? adw has its that kind of option under system preferences.
adw can lock its landscape mode no problem, but only the homescreen. i want the LockScreen to be in permanent landscape too. I tried WidgetLocker for the Lock Screen but it works in portrait only and it forcecloses when i try it in landscape. weird.
i dont have custom rom. my phone is rooted though.
Running 160 dpi which I believe is the default. I can't for the life of me find ANY wallpaper that actually fits the screen now. Everything is zoomed in to the upper half of the selected picture. I'm sure I'm missing something stupid but I can't find what. The wallpaper picker has no aspect control and the gallery app doesn't zoom all the way out.
What am I missing?
You're not missing anything. Thats how it is since you use the same image for both portrait and landscape. In landscape the bottom gets cut off.

But it doesn't appear to have any valid use for portrait? Only displays the homescreen in landscape. Basically no way to get a wallpaper to "fit" correctly.
I'm able to change the wallpaper on my homescreens, but how do I change the lockscreen wallpaper?
And is it possible to replace the clock on my lockscreen with another one? How?
Settings>screen>screen display for the lockscreen wallpaper. Can't help with the clock.

Found it, but the wallpaper is still the same even if i'm changing it. Don't get it, I pressed the save button.
I usually clear the defaults and go back to the touch wiz launcher... You can change it there then save ADW as main home again.

Thanks for answering. I switched back to touchwiz and pressed the + icon. on my homescreen. Went to background, picked gallery and lock screen wallpaper. Found the pic file and cropped it. Pressed the save button in the upper right corner. But the lockscreen wallpaper is still the same, I'm not able to change it.
Any answers thus far?
I too am trying to find this answer......
I usually go to Galleries, or QuickPic, open up the desired picture, and set is as lockscreen.

Funny thing is, that is what I usually did before.
But for some reason, that option is no longer there......
When I go into QuickPic and choose the picture, only gives me an option to use for wallpaper (dont even get me started on trying to find a wallpaper that fits).
So I am using Multi Live Wallpaper for my home screen, but can't find how to change the lock screen.
When I do change the lock screen through MultiLive it lets me do it.
But when I turn off and on the same old lockscreen is still there.......and actually, when I push the power button there is a very fast flicker of the lockscreen wallpaper that I chose, but then just goes to the stock screen.
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.
Hello,
I am using Go Launcher on Galaxy Note and it appears to redraw/reload all widgets and icons on the home screen if I rotate the screen i.e while going from Landscape to Potrait Mode and vice versa , all widgets/icons reload.
While rotating applications , this does not happen.
Anybody having this issue with Go Launcher?

Yes, Same issue with me (HTC salsa).
Generally I am not using landscape mode. I always uses portrait mode.
If you want disable Landscape mode, then download Smart Rotator and set Go launcher as Portrait. Which will not rotate your home screen if you interested so.
Hi.
This is not a problem. It is natural to happen.
It has to do with devise display resolution.
My resolution is 540 x 960 pixels in Evo 3D so when i fleep the divise,
the resolution changes is 960 x 540 so the Go Launchers have to rearange the widgets and the icons to adapt and fit to the new resolution.
