(Q) gb and ics default screen orientation. - Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet

I've seen some tablets orientated to landscape by default. If someone wanted to set the NT to landscape, would this be changed in the build.prop or elsewhere? I know I can set this in adwEX settings, but I want it to be "hard coded".
If I'm thinking correctly, this would set the lockscreen in landscape as well. That's what I would ultimately prefer. From start to finish in landscape unless an app just can't do it.

what android firmware are you running?
stock
or the CM series

I bounce between cm7 and 9. No stock. Cm9 seems to stay in landscape including lockscreen when you turn off auto rotation while in landscape. It may be an error and could change in future builds. Right now I'm running alpha 0.04, not a nightly.

ADS Launcher EX

Has anyone else tried this launcher? I found it in the market tonight. it's like a new upgrade from the original ADS with more customizations like scroll animations. It's readily really good.
it has resizeable widgets?

Firstly, to save any confusion, this is ADW Launcher EX. It's a paid version of ADW Launcher and is worth every penny! It keeps all the original features of ADW Launcher but adds a lot of extra features such as customised home scrolling animations and the home edit function from the Galaxy S.
Goodbye Go Launcher, you have been outclassed! This is my new home app.
Hot tip: disable desktop bounce when using animations. Looks 1000 times better.
ahh thank you for that. Stopping the desktop bounce did make it look a lot better. Amazing!
And to the guy that said LP is still better.lmao, buy this app and then judge it. LP cant touch the new ADW EX launcher.
I paid for LP plus and icons a few days ago. If I new the new adw was coming out I would of waited. The new adw is very nice,slick and quick.

Does this version still have the "feature" of swiping the dock to hide/unhide? I never could find a setting to disable that, main reason I went to lp...

I went ahead and purchased the app, it's very nice. The most important to me was the ability to increase the size of icons (setting at 125 looks good, as I move past 150 it starts to get visibly blurry). The new effects are nice too.
Is anyone else having problems locking the homescreen to portrait with ADW Ex? Both 'portrait' and 'landscape' seem to lock the phone to landscape. Auto is the only way to get portrait, but it seems to briefly flick back to briefly landscape sometimes, even when the phone isn't rotated.

[Q] Portrait orientation?

Many apps force portrait mode, and the default places the power button at the bottom. I found it too easy to hit power by bumping it against my arm or chest while reading.
Is there a way to flip the default orientation by 180°?
I'm running TnT lite.
Old post bump, having same problem, just got a gtablet.
I'm running Vegantab.
Honeycomb will lock in portrait mode, I use it for reading all the time. That's one of my favorite things about it
Sent from my Droid using XDA App
Depends which launcher you have. Vtl launcher you need to go to settings and allow 180 rotation.
Apps natively have portrait mode with the soft keys on the top and the power button on the bottom
Is there a way to change that?

Wierd wallpaper bug landscape Rosie

I know I've posted this before on rom threads but still can't figure out the cause.
When I first flash a Rom the gallery allows me to get the whole picture when cropping wallpaper but then after using the Rom any Rom with landscape Rosie for awhile it will only allow me to use a section of the wallpaper.
When that happens the wallpaper somethings shrinks with black bars on the side when switching Rosie orientation. I would have to switch back and fourth landscape to portrait to fix.
I've reflashed over and over and no dice.
Any ideas

Landscape lockscreen?

I would love to attach a screenie.....but it happens so randomly and only lasts a second.
Im presuming that the function is built in because the screen doesnt look all messed up. So does anyone know how to turn Landscape lockscreen on?
Ove looked through the setting but cant see anything? Perhaps im just being a tard?

Android at its core can support a landscape lockscreen. There are a few apps out there that force rotation even when the app doesn't think it should support it. For example, the Netflix app is ALWAYS portrait when in the menu and ALWAYS landscape during video playback, but I used to use an app called "Ultimate Rotation Control", and it allowed it to do the menu in landscape and the video in portrait. I think the same sort of thing would work for you here, but I must admit that it's been a long time since I've used a lockscreen, so I don't know for sure.
Thanks. Ill take a look.
