Has any of you guys noticed a jittery wallpaper? I mean whenever you shift your tablet from landscape to portrait or unlock your tab or even by accessing some applications the wallpaper in the screen would move around till it settles in its original position. Its kinda annoying

after many lockups and problems i decided to turn of the rotate sensor and guess what. My phone now rocks..not a single lockup or problem.. is there any way to change the default rotation of my dell to portrait instead of landscape? also anybody knows if the official update from dell has the same problems?
You can make the home screen set to portrait by default, yes
You must use ADW as your launcher however.
Just set the default orientation to portrait and then you must set ADW to system persistant otherwise both landscape and portrait mode=landscape for some reason. I do the same.
Your lockscreen will still be landscape mode however, unless you still have the older version of Widget Locker.
It's lockscreen view was in portrait. After the latest update however it isnow landscape and you can't change it back. =(
As for the official update having rotation problems, I hadn't experienced many issues with orientation lockups except when I tried using their new Dell Stage Video app which I immediately removed after I found out it locks up the sensor whenever you tried to use it to view a video.
I however hadnt kept the rotation set to auto for very long honestly.
I prefer portrait mode for the home screen. My boot screen aswell is in portrait mode now too since someone was kind enough to post the files on the site the other day.
Portrait mode just feels more natural to me since this is currently my main phone so having it in landscape mode is abit awkward and I didnt like how certain things looked after being resized when rotating orientation.
My friend thanx very much... im using adw as launcher and yesterday i was playing with adw settings for orientation but didnt try the system persistent....of course the phone keypad and all programs remain landscape any ideas for this?
if your on 1.6 still, for the keypad you can download a differnt dialer app.
Dailer Ones pretty good.
If your on 2.2 it should auto rorate tho.
As for the programs themselves, what's not rotating?
Did you by chance turn off "auto-rotate screen" in system>settings>display when you were trying to get the home screen into portrait mode and never re-checked it?
I been reading people talking about the default orientation change, to that of the portrait view, but can this be set to sensor, so that whatever way you turn the phone, the lock screen changes to that orientation, whether it be landscape or portrait?
The stock lock screen does not change orientation even if the auto setting is on. There are several lock screen apps that have additional settings and features.
Nevermind, is there any lock screen apps where you can still use the pattern lock? Cause all the ones I tried you couldnt
I second the notion. I would love an app that allows me to lock the screen in the orientation it's currently in.
And the same app, or another app, doesnt matter to me which, has the lock screen come up in the orientation the phone is in.
Edit::: been tinkering with it this morning and now I can't get the darn thing into landscape mode at all..... any ideas
Yeah its strange how the lock screen is locked to a certain orientation. And I have no ideas how to change the orientation. Sorry mate. Another's thing that is strange is why doesn't the streak rotate 360 degree, never understood why it doesn't do upside down portrait.
Maybe the launcher has something to do with it because I have a live physics wallpaper that does follow the rotation 360 degrees.
Also I will mention that when I use ADW Launcher EX I can lock my orientation in whatever orientation it's in when I switch off auto rotate

Yeah I have my phone locked to landscape in adw, but only because the lock screen is locked to landscape, I would just like both to be changeable, with rotation of the phone.
anyone having their wallpapers appear just on one side of the screen and other half be black? whats going on? Is this a bug?
I've been having the same issue in landscape. No matter how I crop or what image I use about half the screen is blank and cropped as it was still set in portrait mode. Been hunting for fixes tonight and haven't found anything. I have, however, found a workaround. Multipicture Live seems to have done the trick for me setting the image the way I want it to appear both landscape and portrait with no fuss about cropping. I don't know how much of an added strain it puts on battery life technically being a "live" wallpaper, but at this point it's worth it for me.
Am I missing a setting where it prevents the lock screen from rotating? I'm new to widgetlocker and have been searching and searching for a way to prevent it from rotating to landscape mode. I want it to stay in portrait mode no matter what angle I hold my phone during the lock screen. This is driving me crazy so I'm sorry if the question have been asked before but I just need to know if there is way to do it.
thanks!!!
hello, i am working in project where i try to convert tabled into car navigation system. All looks ok so far, but i can't figure out how to make android in landscape orientation only, even for stock launcher.
I know about screen lock programs, but they need time for booting, and it is very annoying to boot in one orientation, and in about 30s go to landscape .
Is where simple method forcing stock Lenovo Phab Plus launcher into landscape ?
i did try biuld.prop, but somehow it does not work. Any one have idea how to do it ?
launcher.force_enable_rotation=true
log.tag.launcher_force_rotate=VERBOSE
lockscreen.rot_override=true
This locked my rotation, but the problem is, second before boot or second after reboot still screen is rotating. This messing my wallpaper It still keep it in vertical, just zoomed
Update Also setting are not in Landscape, but rotation lock programs make it landscape, hm...
