Is there a way to have ADW EX Auto-Rotate and Landscape only? In other words no portrait, only landscape, but able to have landscape from either side. Does that make any sense? haha, thanks!
I can get mine to lock to landscape but only in one orientation of landscape though. Haven't really looked into too deeply though

Orientation Control can lock the orientation to SIX modes:
1. Landscape
2. Reversed Landscape (Android 2.3.1 and above only)
3. Portrait (Same as disabling auto rotate in phone's settings)
4. Forced Portrait (Always in portrait regardless of app!)
5. Reversed Portrait (Android 2.3.1 and above only)
6. Auto Rotate

Sorry misread the post thaught it was landscape he wanted
Portrait for whole system
Hi,
I've been seeing the forum threads for portrait mode on the Dell Streak but all have just options for the launcher reorientation.
I have currently locked the system to landscape only since its extremely bothersome when the system is on auto rotate and it rotates by 180 degrees. However even with this, there are apps like Astrid tasks, etc which have some of their screens in portrait - which is a bit irritating...
With the landscape mode its not possible to try an operate the device with one hand. In the portrait mode it is a bit more easier to reach with the thumb across the screen to the opposite side corners and by sliding the hand down the entire screen can be accessed with a single hand when you have to.
Is there some mode where the full system can be made completely in portrait? Of course its understandable that select apps like Klondike, etc will run only on their default landscape mode but is there nothing that can be done for the rest of the system? Something that can probably just be included as a command in the install.txt file for Streakdroid packages perhaps?
I run Streakdroid 1.9.0 and love the new Stage UI. Not particularly impressed with ADW or LauncherPro.
Thanks in advance.
I was wondering if there was a way to "lock down" rotation so that the landscape orientation would always be such that that the LCD buttons were always to the right in landscape and to the bottom when the phone was rotated to portrait.
Any ideas or Apps that I've missed?
To lock to landscape just turn off orientation in settings ....to lock to portrait. Use adw launcher and select system persistent

Not the question he asked
The O/P wants to keep landscape/portrait ability but limit it to one direction only. For example the port is always the screen bottom in landscape and always the left side in portrait.
Exactly... I want to be able to lock the streak/ui down to only one portait and one landscape... basically establish to fixed "tops" and then use the accelerometer to swotch between those two. Is that possible in 2.2.
Btw, what's "o/p"?

I've been looking for an app or way to lock the orientation of my Mini Pro in landscape mode even if the keyboard is not out, AND even if i have my phone standing in portrait.
i know there's an automatic orientation sensor that switches it to landscape if I tilt the phone, but I want the orientation to be ALWAYS in landscape.
any app? i would really appreciate it.
THANKS guys!
Use widgetlocker app..its perfect for locksreen in landscape or potrait mode.

thanks will check it.
UPDATE: unfortunately, its giving me forceclose errors when doing it in landscape. works fine online in portrait
installed custom ROM? adw has its that kind of option under system preferences.
adw can lock its landscape mode no problem, but only the homescreen. i want the LockScreen to be in permanent landscape too. I tried WidgetLocker for the Lock Screen but it works in portrait only and it forcecloses when i try it in landscape. weird.
i dont have custom rom. my phone is rooted though.
I am sure many miss the ability to lock the rotation whether if you are in landscape mode or portrait mode. But as you may know, on OOS4 (Nougat) when you lock the rotation it goes back to portrait mode.
After trying many apps I found a solution that is actually better than what I was looking for. My intention was to find an extra tile but instead I found out that this app will modify de behaviour of the existing tile. So when you are in landscape and lock the rotation it will stay locked in landscape mode. Just like the old days.
To do that just download this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nl.fameit.rotate
Then set it up like in the screen shots attached and you're done.
The only drawback is that you need a license after 7 days.
Hope this helps.

That is a convenience feature added by google that lets you switch the orientation when you have orientation lock enabled.
It only appears when you have the rotation locked and you rotate the phone so that it is opposite of what the orientation lock is set too. So for example if you have the phone locked in portrait orientation and you rotate the phone to landscape orientation it will appear.
Turning off the orientation lock will cause the convenience feature to not appear
Otherwise you can try the suggestion at the link below and see if it works. If it does not work I have not seen any other method(s).
