Hey, guys! I've just been wondering if any of you other guys have been getting the same odd behavior as me with the latest stock ATT FUZE ROM.
It deals with the phone display switching between portrait and landscape orientation when you flip out the keyboard. For some reason, the Windows taskbar appears every time I flick out the keyboard to type something while using full screen apps such as YouTube. It irritates me because all the other ROMs I've tried don't exhibit this issue. I can make it disappear by tapping the Start menu and exiting it, but having to do that every time I flick the keyboard out and flicking it back in is quite annoying. I was wondering if any of you know how I could disable this behavior.
It appears that any orientation switching without flicking out the keyboard (ex. Opera rotating using the accelerometer) doesn't make the taskbar pop out, but switching between portrait and landscape with the keyboard always triggers the taskbar to pop out in full screen apps. Again, it's easy enough to just tap the Start menu and exit out again to make the taskbar disappear, but I would LOVE to just have it not appear altogether, like all the other builds of WM that I've been using.
Anyone out there that can duplicate the issue I'm having? Furthermorem anyone know how I can remove the behavior?
i have it set to auto rotate in the settings and all my apps rotate but the home screen wont? its just stuck in landscape... i was on a version of TNT and it was not working so i thought maybe a fresh start would help and just flashed vegan tab 5.1 and i have the same issue? the rotate is working within the apps i open so i know its not a hardware issue... anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?

What home launcher are you using? I have Launcher Pro Plus and there's an option in preferences to rotate the home screen. Could this be your issue?

I have tried both launcher pro and stock launcher and I know what option you are talking about though and have tried it both on and off and nothing works...
today i went home for lunch and tried some other ways to fix this and came up with nothing... i tried going into titanium and wiping data for the launcher and that didnt work, then i tried installing launcher pro and going that rought and that didnt work... i still cant rotate the home screen... but i can still rotate no problem in any app i open... ?

i dont think its a ROM issue... i have the same setup on my tablet as my wife and for some reason mine works fine but for her i cant get the rotate to work on the homescreen... and like i said earlier, i have tried the auto rotate option on and off and it wont fix it. rotate works fine within an app, just not the home screen. the problem started when she was on a TNT ROM and so i wiped everything and installed Vegan and same problem is there... not sure what it can be since the rotate works fine for the apps?
Unfortunately, I am having the exact same problem. Any application will rotate just fine, but when I am outside of any application, the display is only in landscape format. I too have tried the system display settings and made sure it is set to auto rotate.
I am using the latest VegaN build.
If you find anythign, please share. Thanks
I am having the same problem too. Apps can rotate, but home screen stuck in landscape. Wiped data and wipe cache does not help.
I'm just a complete novice and I don't really understand what I'm saying (and I don't even have my G tab yet) but I've read of so many weird problems being fixed by partioning the internal SD card that I thought I'd mention it.
Is the stock home screen designed to rotate? I updated to 3588 when I first got mine and my home screen won't rotate anymore. I swear it was rotating on the previous version. I am using classic home nothing insaled, did a factory reset on 1.1.3588.
Edit: apps andsettings page rotate normally
There were two auto rotate options... One in settings, and one in launcher preferences... Did you check both?
How do you get to launcher preferences? Again, I am using fully stock TnT.
For launcher pro it's menu, preferences... Then behavior I think....
I think my gtab had some stuffinstalled out of the box, maybe it was a returned item. First it had angry birds and kindle, I thoughtthese were just included or something. Maybeit had a launcher too. I did a fctoryreset after I updated to prep for custom roms, so whatever was there is gone now. I just thought it was stock before. Guess not.
So what I am getting at is, do the stock viewsonic TnT home screens do rotate?
Sorry, I missed the word "stock" before TnT in your post. Sorry if I confused the situation.
I'm not sure if it rotates or not. My gtab was powered on for exactly 3 minutes before I rooted it and flashed vegan....
Also having this issue where the apps and settings rotate but the home screen does not. Running Vegan 5.1 Beta with the default launcher.
anxiously.
I'm waiting for a good answer. Same prob.
Stock home screen does NOT autorotate.
So vegan 5.1 not suppose to auto rotate home page?? That doesnt sound right
Home Screen Won't Rotate
Chime in to say my stock TNT does the same thing. It's stuck in Landscape but the apps rotate just fine.
every time I try to install an app it pulls up the apk handler asking me how I want to install it...no problem right? Well, now it's repetitively opening it probably 300x/minutes and closing it...won't allow me to select to install it at all...
This wouldn't be that big of a problem except that I have Thumb Keyboard installed and I can't type until I reinstall thumb keyboard b/c of the rebooting/power glitch of thumb keyboard not sticking.
I can't hit the home button because when I try to it asks which home to default to (I JUST installed ADWEx launcher and then my tablet auto-rebooted on its own after I tried to change the wallpaper)...It gets stuck in the same loop cycle that the installation process gets stuck in...except this time it's with the default home launcher.
Any ideas?
Try the failed boot restore. Interrupt the boot, ten times, and it will do a complete system restore.

Any other options outside of this?
I was able to send zeam launcher via downloading from market.android.com
That enabled me to get to the AppMenu where I could change my keyboard to the stock keyboard...
I now have a keyboard back up and working.
What I don't have? I cannot install any apps or set a default home. Do you think this has something to do with the Nook Home replacement app that I had downloaded?
Update:
I guess to add a description...
So I can't open any menus that don't already have default applications...when I try to, they keep popping up over and over and over again.
I can never select anything when the popups are going on. I can double-tap nook home and it takes me back to the stock home. I installed
Nook Color Apps Manager via market.android.com (it has push install so I didn't have to worry about choosing a package installer)
I uninstalled ADW Ex, the Nook Home Launcher Replacement for rebinding the Nook key, Go Launcher Ex, and Zeam.
Next Update:
After uninstalling Dolphin and Firefox nightlies, it took me back to default Browser. I was then able to reboot the NT. My problem of not being able to select on a screen that didn't have a default app already disappeared.
However, after redownloading the HomeCatcher.apk, I was unable to rebind the double tap to my launcher of choice.
A reboot and a fresh download of HomeCatcher.apk has it working again.
Everything is pretty much back up and running at this point.
Final Update
Everything is back up and working. I hope this thread is helpful to someone at some point if they struggle with this same problem.
I'm posting updates as I go in case anyone encounters this same problem...maybe what I am doing will help you fix the issue without having to do an entire factory reset:S
What I have:
S3
CM10.1 (nightly 2013-05-13)
Swype Beta 1.4.9 (selected as default keyboard on settings)
After a few minutes, for some reason the default keyboard goes back to AOSP for no apparent reason and there is no way to stop that behavior. It happens also with Google Voice Typing: I unselect it, and after a while it gets selected again.
Does anyone knows how to solve this?
Thanks
I had the same issue.
Freeze the AOSP keyboard with titanium backup, it worked for me.
Hi guys, I'm still looking for the best keyboard but seems can't find it in spite therr are plenty sroind for Android.
The best atm is gboard, but I'd prefer another kb for i have not any gapps and services installed in my phone, so would like also to get rid of gboard. Don't ask me why, i just prefer not having intrusing google apps installed.
What i need the most (and gboard has) are:
1. the cursol control in space bar
2. the numbers row
3. Gesture typing
4. Symbols when long pressing keys
I don't want a dedicated arrows row like in swiftkey, because that would just steal additional space on the screen, also I don't want a button to switch from letters to arrows and viceversa, because in this way i can't type and move the cursor at the same time I'dhave to switchback and forth many time!
so i prefer the gesture for the cursor control swiping left-right in some key, like in the space bar.
I tried many keyboards, and The only other KBs with such feature i found apart from gboard are chrooma kb and LG kb. The problem is that the former continuously FCs without gapps installed so is a no go for me, the latter is very nice but it seems i can't find a apk installable in all phones
Could anyone suggest me a kb having all the above-mentioned features or port the LG kb to be able to install it in all phones please?
I got the apk from a friend of mine who has a G5, but it won't install on my N phone. If i place it in /system/priv-app with all correct permissions and libs, it appears as installed but it FCs when i try to launch it ;(
Tia all bye
