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.

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?
Hi
I've a french phone provider (orange) giving us a TV player named Matchblue.
The picture is always displayed in landscape orientation, but in the bad one because volume buttons are at bottom. Impossible to access them when I put the phone on a table. I want a 180° screen rotation. I've tried lot of screen rotation soft but none of them works.
Any idea to force the screen rotation ?
Thank you for help.
Check in the app itself if there is a setting menu giving You the choice which side to rotate or maybe there is an xml-file for this app whre You can change rotation or best: ask the support-team for this app
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!!!
Is there a way to disable the lock screen rotation? I have it disabled when unlocked but it still rotates when locked. When I set a wallpaper with picspeed it looks great until the lock screen rotates then the picture gets all fat and distorted even in landscape mode and I have to reset my wallpaper all because of the stupid lock screen rotation. Plz help!

I would love to know if there is a way to do this as well.
One thing you could try instead of reseting your wallpaper, is once you are at your homescreen, turn autorotate back on, rotate to portrait and then back to landscape and see if that fixes the wallpaper. I have a different problem that happens when mine rotates when in lockscreen, but this usually fixes it for me.

Just tried your suggestion but it still borks the wallpaper. Once it goes goofy there is no way to ungoof it without setting the wallpaper again from scratch
I don't believe I've seen this addressed but if so, my apologies.
I'm having an issue typically with games in landscape mode. The screen will invert and when I rotate the tablet 180 degrees to get it right, it'll immediately rotate and flip upside-down again. I've played with preventing auto rotation and forcing it to only use landscape, but it still gives me issues. This is with games in both the stock Kindle OS as well as with a separate launcher in the flashable GAPPS environment.
Anyone else having this issue or have a fix?
Thanks
Actually just saw this being talked about in the "[ROM] thor-gapps-rom" discussion under the development forum.

Try "Smart Rotator" app, and/or lock the screen orientation using the notification toolbar BEFORE you run the game.

Locking the screen by the notification bar does not work in some cases.
Best way is to use an app called ADAPTIVE ROTATION LOCK, it has an adaptive mode whenever the screen change the orientation, a small button appears and the screen orientation only changes when you hit the button or else it will go away.
The app has a pro version in which allow you to set the default orientation PER APP, I set all my games to Landscape and it works flawlessly.
