[Q] MIUI - landscape mode? - Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, Sipmle Q...
Does MIUI for Dell Streak has landscape mode?
As i remeber it does not while i was using it on HTC.Desire
btw, MIUI rocks (in portrait o/c)
It'll be great to have it in landscape
Greets!

I too would love landscape on MIUI as its not so awesome stuck in portrait mode - still excellent though

It does not have a default landscape mode but in a couple of the other threads I posted a modified android.policy.jar file that would default everything to landscape mode except for the lock screen and some of the settings menus.

Is this for MIUI?? It seems to refer to the CM7 ROM rather than MIUI and it's quite a bit smaller than the default one?

Ahh, silly me, I've found this one! I'll give it a go and post how I get on.

If it works for you, i'll go back to Miui.
That was the only thing that put me off Miui is that it doesn't do landscape, and i use it in my car alot with the music player.

Did not work for me really. The launcher is still stuck in portrait. I've ended up going back to O2 Froyo rom after having tried all the gingerbread roms out there. None were reliable enough for me, though all are very well done. Back to SPB mobile shell for me!

It's not intrinsically landscape, but most of the stock apps can (and should!) be replaced with more useful alternatives. Once you get it running in landscape, and replace the launcher and phone app, you never really notice that it's not meant to be landscape.

I hide the lock screen - I don't mind personally but that might bother some people. There are 3rd party replacements for that too though.

[Q] Different wallpapers for different home pages?

The Dell Streak manual for Android 1.6 shows how to set different wallpapers for different home pages (using a long press on the Home button).
However, I don't seem to be able to do this with Android 2.1. Is this something else which changed with the "upgrade" to 2.1, or am I overlooking something?

That ui is long gone since 2.1 update however there is an apk file that you can use to run something similar. Works pretty well but only on landscape mode. Im using it now.
You ca find it in the pocketables.com (sp???) Or go to Streaksmart.com and hut forums, you'll find it there.
I use it, its called wall streak, works perfectly

If you guys can find good 800x480 pics that look good in Portrait mode please share. Right now I'm planets cause they're upright no matter how I look at em. lol
this is my current set up using this app:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Whenever I switch my Streak off, when I switch it on again it resets to a standard wallpaper. I have to go back into Settings and then Live Wallpapers to reselect WallStreak.
Does anybody else have this problem, or am I doing something wrong?
No it doesnt do it here....
no problems here... I had that problem when I first flashed Froyo 1.2 (when it was buggy)

Desktop Visualizer

I want to start using this app to make a wallpaper similar to this:
http://img222.imageshack.us/img222/9599/homescreen05halfres.png
Can someone point me in the right direction, I tried and failed miserable at making something this nice.
If you have made something like this, or have pics that would work, please share
Well, I tried and failed.. if someone comes across this, please PM me if you have some nice icons that will fill a page as if it were a wallpaper (like the link in the OP).

If you use adw ex you can choose no icons in the ui main dock settings , put icons on the hidden dock so you can at least open your app launcher .when you remove the icons from the main dock ,you can then place widgets where the icons would have been. then use desktop visualizer icons/widgets to completely cover the home screen. Then put the "regular" icons on the hidden dock you can swype them up/down ,they will appear over the desktop visualizer icons ,and will work.( incase you dont want the empty looking dock option )you could put your launcher and like for or five icons there (on the hidden dock), the only problem I'm having is finding images that will look good as desktop visualizer icons

Are you still envy of the brilliant lock screen of Sense 3.0? Now, as long as your phone is Android system, you will be able to experience the beauty of the lock screen. Only use one button, you can choose to use this agile lock screen or system default screen. Drag the bottom circle to the top can unlock screen.
This program has a lot of setting options: font, font color, font size, background settings, shortcuts settings, etc., must be well meet your needs.
If you have the "black background" problem, please set the "background alpha" to value 255, then the problem may be solved.

will Loopy tweak help to keep it work after heavy use ?
I have no idea, but you can try it. I only now that this app have cause some issue when the phone is in Airplane Mode. (you can't connect to network)
Oh haven't checked this. But I won't use this lockscreen due to missing quick setting of sound / vibration .. but i could try to use it from status bar .. i will try once more xD thanks anyway

I made it with loopy tweak and excluded from task killer and even if i reboot the processes with FMR (great app) it's still alive only the airplane mode problem. I think the Pin insertion is included in standard launcher /lockscreen so it doesn't work but i don't need airplane mode LOL so everything 's good.

it actually works on other devices as well...i have installed the Flip Clock & Launcher in my Atrix...and its looking pretty awesome in my homescreen!! u should also give it a try.....[i didnt try the boot animation...so not sure about it]
The launcher doesn't seem to scale correctly and there are some other icons over the dock.

you have to enter in launcher setting, now dock settings, then tap twice any option and back to launcher
Change the dpi to 270 and everything fits perfectly. I'd suggest an app like LCD Density Modder Pro so you can apply a permanent market fix. For the overlay on the dock I'd say turn on Tint AB and put the AB Scale to 1. Doesn't completely get rid of the overlay but it definitely makes it less noticeable like in my screenshot.

[Q] Qslide question

Currently running the Nocturnal 2.1 ROM.
On the SnowJB ROM, when you use QSlide while watching a video, it will open it in a little window and you are allowed to move that window all around the screen, resize it and use the transparency thing. However, on the Nocturnal ROM, it only allows me to change the transparency.. I can't move it or resize it. It's just stuck on the top half of the screen. Which is slightly annoying to me :/
Does anyone know how to bring over SnowJB's QSlide over to Nocturnal? I would just switch over to SnowJB, but my Wi-Fi keeps dropping out even though I'm 10 feet from my router.

the nocturnal rom is based off if the att jb update... snowjb is ported from international jb which has a way better qslide feature so nothing is wrong... just how it is...
you can try this though the system ui has the same qslide as snowjb http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2328662

Didn't work... Oh well, at least I know why QSlide acts differently on these 2 ROMs now. That was probably the most frustrating thing for me haha.
Thanks for the replies though
