Do you guys know of an app to use the start screen in landscape mode? I remember it was in the MS plans some time ago, but never found anything. Are there good alternatives?
not possible

Hi, I'm using a T-Mobile G2 with VillainRom 5. Just wondering if there was some kind of setting or an app which would allow me 180degree rotation.
In one way this would be cool. Like in my car, it would be helpful not to look an idiot when you put it the wrong way round and go "duhhh, why isnt it rotating" when in a rush using copilot. On the other hand, it's a nightmare keeping it to landscape when using the thing in bed for digg or the browser, so I tend to hold it the opposite way to how it would go back to portrait.
I've been looking about for this for a while now and still haven't found anything. Anyone have any suggestions?
So a while back in the G1 launching days, I had a JesusFreke rom I believe and it had this option in Spare Parts where whenever the orientation would change, it would do like a zoom out, wiggle, and zoom back in kind of thing.
The Spare Parts app today doesnt have that option anymore and I've been lookin everywhere to find this!
Does anyone know what Im talking about/know where I can find it?
Thanks in advance!
Has anybody looked at this? Some apps rotate the tablet so that you have to hold skinny side in portrait, which sucks. Would be nice to be able to rotate and hold fat side.
Hoping for that too.
hi
few days ago, i discovered "Ultimate Rotation Control"
There is a 7days (or longer Trial) at google play. I'm not allowed to post Links, so u have to search it by ur self, sure isnt a big deal.
Set it to Force Rotation, and Apps (inclusive market previews) will rotate like u want!
greets nuts
it also is a setting in 4.0 if im correct, could be a cm9 feature
yup
For some reason Sony limited the tablet to three axis'.
However with a orientation app you can use all four.
All of the orientation apps that I have tried reduce the performance of the tablet. Just try one, force an orientation, and try scrolling the homescreen. You'll see how slow it is.
Hmm, with Ultimate Rotation Control, i have no slow downs - its working like ever, only thing is, Apps starting in the right rotation, not upside down .
Until now i'm using the testversion, and its says 18days till end - not 7 as u get told in market. Hoping for ICS, too
However with a orientation app you can use all four.

URC works very well for me, but slows my launcher too, what a pity...
Search Set Orientation by Eyes-Free Project on Google Play, is simple and works nice.
Hi,
I have been looking this for long time. So it is possible to access the camera without typing pin to unlock phone?
Because WP7.5 and iOS can handle this but why not Android?
My HTC One X has this. Can use volume keys (i think it's volume keys anyway) to get camera and choice on my xoom to have various apps icons on lock screen. I had the camera taking photos via lock screen on my phone last night until I changed it. I think it was volume keys, I was pretty worn out from insomnia and fumbling the phone when picking it up to use it to pass time while not being able to sleep from pain induced insomnia.

Hmm... I am not sure are we talking same issue... I mean if I want to take picture with camera. I have put that Camera-icon on Lock Screen but if i chose that I need first but pin-code and after that i can take pictures.

That is not the answer because if I make that nice smart move to activate Camera. It still ask first my pin-code and after that opens Camera.
So Android can't handle Camera in sandbox mode?
Has anyone found a solution?
i would like to know the answer to this also was a handy feature on the Iphone for sure
Don't think there's a way to do this. The point of the pin is so no one can access any function of the phone without the pin. AFAIK there isn't a mod that bypasses this

Instead of making a new thread i would like to ask is there any update to this?
I know the htc phones are able to do this by dragging the camera to unlock it.
But if someone can develop this for the S3.
I know some people have played around with Sense 4.0 with s3 its still glitchy.
The main reason i want this is so i can take pictures and video immediately instead of having to put my 8 character password in and if there something interesting to record such as a dispute or police brutality or anything really we can pull out and record for future use.
Thanks for reading hopefully someone out there atleast attempts this to see if there is a solution.

Yes, there is a solution even on a password locked phone... try camera unlock : https://play.google.com/store/apps/developer?id=Aeropic

You can bypass the pin and open the camera with Xposed framework and a module.
Been trying to find a solution for this, but no luck so far.
I installed CM10 on my tab today (wifi) and everything seems solid, but for some reason, the lockscreen is always in landscape mode, even when I am holding the device in portrait. I have autorotate on, and the screen properly rotates when I am using the device, but in the lockscreen, it is stuck in landscape mode.
Anyone know how to fix this? Thank you
buummmpppp. anyone with some info or a solution?

Had the same problem with (the otherwise perfect rom!) and found not so much a sollution but a kinda a "brute" workaround:
Look in GP for an app called "Ultimate Rotation Control". I gives you rotation control over as good as any application on your tablet, including the lockscreen.
It works great for me although the app itself seems to stay in the background (but I did not notice any lag due to it). Also it seems you 'll have to pay for it since it has a 7 days timer on it (not sure what happens after the trial but I bet it'll ask you to get a license for 1,99 EUR)
In short:
It does the job, but it seems a little overkill for thisproblem
