Hi there, I was wondering if there is any way to make the Blur home screen rotate without having to instal any third party apps.
Can someone help?
Basically, I wanted to make everything rotate to landscape, homescreen, phone, contacts, since some of those don't rotate unless you force it with third party apps.
Thanks in advance!
Does 3rd party apps also cover Nova Launcher? On settings I can get all screens to rotate.

Maybe some dev could port some system apps from droid 4, as the actual screen resolution and hardware is more or less the same

Pretty sure you can edit your build.prop to do this...could be wrong.

Any devs around? would appreciate...
Blur doesn't rotate and devs will probably not use this in a rom.

Found another app, the best one so far. I guess that the file we need should be in that app, but since I'm not a dev, i don't dare to try it.
The app is called Set Orientation, and it allows you to force auto orientation even on those apps that don't rotate, like homescreen and dialer.
The best of all, it's a free app.

Hi, I just got a RAZR today, my friend Cody bought me one because I gave him a ride to go see Chronicle, and I love it so far.
The only problem is, when using the camera, it sticks in landscape.
I find that pretty annoying, because with AOSP/MIUI cameras, I mostly use it in portrait.
Does anyone know how to get it to change to portrait????
Thanks!
To clarify, whats in portrait? The camera app or the gallery after u take the pics? The camera is in the same position regardless of orientation.
You can try checking your screen orientation toggle if its the gallery your referring to after you take the pics

Mine does it too. Either you can install a different camera app or live with it. The reason it does it is so that you have access to the different settings.

I figured I'd make this for people to talk about issues and cool things they find with the OnlyOne Beta 2 Rom
Good morning everyone!
Just installed this ROM last night and running it through the paces.
When long clicking on a home screen, I do not see the option to add direct dial, direct text etc to the homescreens, just apps and folders.
Any suggestions?
Those options are in the app drawer. Click on the app drawer then widgets. Long click the widget to add it.

This is the type of ROM/MOD I really like....plus the SIII TouchWiz operates great...I can get rid of all my other alternative lauchers.
I did try to do some of these mod's myself on the leaked version...svoice, touchwiz, etc. but there was always something not running right...so it's great that some take the time to do this for us!!!
Nice...running almost perfect thusfar...highly recommended.
Can anyone confirm if the tether feature on this rom is working?

Thank you for putting this rom together it's amazing.
The only issue I'm having is with the wallpaper. It says it's vertical when you choose it then changes to scrolling on it's own therefore it zooms in and doesn't look very good. Am I missing something?

Setting wallpapers with QuickPic worked without a hitch for me. Did you try to use it or just the gallery option?

multi dpi does not work. one of the reasons why i moved away from the rom. the new launcher doesn't support it + stock dpi is too large for me lol

Some where I read in the reviews that finally Sense 4.0 provides hone screen rotation, but today I check the phone in sprint store and it does not...Now I know that I can use 3rd party launchers but then I will lose sense advantages...What is with android and home screen rotation is it another of of the apple patent thing?

I will do it in Car mode even after you exit car mode if using the HTC Dock. It will also do it when using media link.
I am not sure why they won't allow us to do it at will though. I would like this to happen.

Is there a way to achieve this without flashing a ROM? is there a build.prop setting that could be changed? it does work in car mode after all....
You need a modified rosie.apk. You need to be rooted to change it but don't need to be bootloader unlocked. There are threads about it on here.

With sense. There are a couple of ways to do it.... If you do not want to root, you can get app from the play store that will rotate the home screen..... I forget the name of the app though....
Or you can flash a custom rom... I m using charmeleon rom and there is an option for screen rotation.

If I were you, I would just wait for the sgs3 to come out.... So you can compare the two and make your choice then.
Also you can check out reviews of it and there will be reviews directly comparing both.....

As others have mentioned it does rotate home screen and app screens if you exit car mode with the phone still docked. I have not been able to rotate these screens outside of the dock, however.

I am still not getting the answer...Is it because os some patent infringement or something else?
I have tried a few android phones and none seem to provide it. Now I tried apex launcher, go launcher and others and they can provide it, so I am still not sure why we do not get it in stock launchers?
Rotation locker worked great on my phone but has one maybe unknown side effect. If you have it set to permanently stay on landscape or you have the auto rotation feature enabled and you enter the camera app you will be in for a nice treat.
The camera app focus disorients and everything looks funny and in a strange angle. You have to aet tthe phone to portrait mode so everything could go back to normal.
Other than that, the app works great!

Ultimate rotation control will allow you to force anything to rotate. I used it to get 180 rotation before we had ROMs with it baked in.

Thanks man! This is just what I need!
Alternatively, search for "Rotation Locker madmack" on Google Play for a free app that works too, pressing and holding "auto" when you start up the app will make it run in the background.

Does the "OK Google" command work for you? Does touching and holding ur finger pop out the ability to change wallpaper and add widgets come out? If it does, when you try to change wallpaper does it crash?
Just a few issues I had on mine. LG spoiled me with the customizations.

Some widgets are being shown that are not installed but others work fine. Adding a wallpaper by holding down and selecting wallpaper is broken had to by using gallery. OK Google spoken command does work thanks to the snapdragon 800 but Google search crashes :/
The icons are GIGANTIC.
It hurts my eyes and I feel like Google thinks were all blind.

If your "OK Google" is not working... Try this.
Go into Now setting
, then Voice Settings. Go to "Offline Speech Recognition" and then either redownload or update your language. I did this and it works flawlessly now.

Knock on Dead
I set this up quickly, but then killed it because it disabled knock on. Also the nav bar was still the LG one so it kind of looked weird to me. And yes the icons were garrishly large. I liked the 5x5 grid on the stock launcher and this made me feel like I was using a Fischer Price launcher with the huge buttons. The killing blow for me was that I could not switch easily back to stock launcher and had to uninstall the new 4.4 launcher.
if it could work with Knock on, I might give it another go. (unless I was doing something wrong and there s a way to make it work.)

to get nexus 5 camera, and launcher + many other nexus 5 apps. Unfortunately camera only goes up to 8 Mpix and the buttons are mostly obscured by the soft keys, but it is still usable. But it does have photo sphere. Experiment by pressing just above the soft keys to activate functions and learn how to use it since the actual icons are blocked.

Knock on isn't disabled by a launcher. It still works. But to knock off the screen you have to taps twice in the status bar.

If you long press in the middle of the screen you get the options to pop up as well.
So, can "OK google" be installed by itself? Or does it require apks other than google search? What I'm curious about is, does it fully integrate with calender, etc.?And for those that did install it, how is the battery with it on? Can it be turned off, or does it require uninstall?
I have the launcher installed and the Google search and play services. But I cannot for the life of me get OK Google to work.

eh, it's still not a smooth, non-choppy launcher. idk why, but these stock android launchers still randomly get choppy when switching between pages, even if they're not filled with widgets or icons.
