Sorry if this has been raised elsewhere, but I couldn't find it anywhere...
I know many don't like HTC's Sense. Personally I like it fine, with the huge exception that I can't use my phone in landscape half the time. I don't suppose it would be possible to enable landscape would there?
I'm running rooted stock 2.2.
Do you mean on the home screen???

yeah the home screen for sure, but since contacts, calendar, music, etc... are all modified by sense then none of them can go landscape either.
This is the number 1 reason why I don't use sense/Rosie. Its utterly ridiculous that sense doesnt do landscape.

The sad part is all the images are there (in the framework) for Rosie to go into landscape, they just don't let it. I've seen a mod done that accomplishes this but it looked terrible and would have taken a lot of work to get all the elements to look right. Maybe they gave up and decided to focus on a more important project.. like Sprint Nascar.. or the Sprint Promotion app..
Rosie has such potential but is such a let-down. If they weren't going to go the extra mile and make Sense own everything else then they shouldn't have wasted their time on such a crippled UI.
Sense for Windows mobile does landscape. Why not the Android version HTC? Thats one of the reasons I use adw

I completely agree. Its like they got to a point that they were happy and just gave up. The fact that landscape wasn't a high prirority is either lazy or dumb or both. This is basic functionality. As soon as I found adw way back when, Rosie has never touched my phone.
Yeah it does seem pretty dumb. Well I wonder if when the G2 comes out with an actual keyboard it'll mean that we finally have a landscape Rosie...

Id hope. You'd think that the Evo would have had it since they promoted the hell out of the kickstand. What good is a kickstand if you have to turn the phone vertically to use its most basic functions? Thank God for ADW.

Hi guys.
I did try searching but didn't find anything about this.
I miss having separate wallpapers for portrait and landscape like I had on my TP2.
Is it possible to do this on a G1, with 1.6, and no root?
(Please don't start the "why don't you root" stuff, at this point in time I will not get any benefit from it, I don't feel like changing all my settings again, and there seems to be no definite guide for UK DRC92.)
android has no built in feature that allows you to do this but there may be a home replacement app that will do this, not sure though

I was kind of hoping there was an app that'd allow this with the stock home, every home replacement I've tried has either been laggy, FC's a lot, or is just useless in general.
I am not aware of any such feature. It's not doable in the stock home screen or any home replacement I'm aware of.

Dual Wallpaper allows the user to select two different wallpapers to be set when the phone is either in Landscape or Portrait mode.
When the orientation changes, the application will automatically change the wallpaper.
For 2.x phones only
Does NOT require root.

My Previous phone was the N97 and perfect Keyboard, Long Space Bar!!!!
This phone regardless how much i try i cannot Stop hitting that Full Stop key,
Everything els is Perfect,
Is there any mod? hack tweak app or anything to remove that Full Stop key to the right hand side of the space key :-(

Thanks
I don't know of any such hack. The Americans would call that a "period" instead of a full stop

there are many keyboard replacement options. personally i didn't like on screen keyboards at all until i started using swype. beat one out there i've used
Heh, that's ironic! Saying how good a keyboard is, and the auto-correct gets it wrong!

Rofl.. well played I always hit the fullstop. Its getting on my nerves too lol, not sure why though.. im not used to any other touch screen phones besides HD2 and that has the same keyboard pretty much lol
Who said anything about it being correct? I was giving the OP another term to search, full stop

I looked and looked and looked and could not find anything,
Maybe one day,
But in the hunt i come accross swype (Also noticed someone els post they use it in this thread)
Wow!!! very good very easy looks like i may of overcome my issue lol
The full stop instead of space has been bugging me for ages as well. Just trying out new keyboard from market called swiftkey beta. Seems better so far but no double tap space for a full stop might become a problem instead...
Swype in landscape moves the space bar to the side by the way
ive seen alot of people with custom lockscreens like having a different picture on their lockscreen than the one on their homescreen. and some have widgets like typoclock.
how do you do all of this?

WidgeLocker from the market. Excellent highly customizable lockscreen app. Plus there is a whole thread on it with custom locks and such... Only thing is, it's not free.
Heres the link to that thread I mentioned earlier if you're considering the app:

I got rid of widget locker on my N1...Too buggy and slow for me
Being able to put the Handcent widget on the lock screen is worth the price of the app alone. I'm not a fan of the popup.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
thats the only solution....?
Widget Locker.
You can get a *Pirated* version to do some testing...
At first I didn't like it much & didn't think it justified the cost, but it's great to have all your Go To Apps right on the Lock Screen along with the customization...
Once you purchase the App you get a lot more options & a much stabler build... Highly recommended.
I guess I haven't figured it out. Ijust purchased widget Locker, and it's pretty cool, but I can't get it to overwrite my actual lock screen setup.
Right now I slide the unlock slider, and that takes me to the phone's unlock slider, to then enter pswrd. Any way to go from widgetlocker straight to pw?
OP dude how the heck have you had so many phones...4 iPhones??? LOL
I tried it out on CM 6.1 and it was glitchy as hell .

hahahah, if you really love phones like i do, you find ways to get new ones every so often. i like to trade a lot on craigslist. you can really get some killer deals. traded my iPhone 3gs for my brand new g2. best. deal. ever.
so is there no way to set a different wallpaper for lock screen and home screen?
well so far i dont see any other app that allows u to do what widget locker does. Wish their was a trial version of this aswell but i took the leap and bought it and i was not disappointed at all. Its not that buggy at all on the g2 as long as u dont lock it and unlock really fast... than the screen flashes with the lock but thats the only problem i have so far. I havnt even modded my widget locker till i looked into this post! and WOW i love it even more now. i dont remeber how much i paid for the app but.. worth it def.!
I don't think so but, is it possible to port over this answer/ignore screen from Sense?? My girl is getting annoyed by the slides now. She seems to be liking iphone now.. which it is better an app deparment. Way better than android market IMO..

Not possible for an AOSP ROM (which I presume you're using).
That answer screen is part of the Sense framework. To port that over would mean to port over the entire framework, which isn't possible.
Thank you, no kind of alternative huh?? She really likes that "iphone" stuff.. but unfortunatelty.. she's stuck now with the TMOUS leak , unrooted.. until there's a downgrade.., everything else is perfect, except she's tired of the slides.. which is dumb IMO same process right?

I don't believe there is an alternative, though I could be wrong. The AOSP answer screen is part of Phone.apk and I don't believe there has been an alternative to that.
You can use alternate dialers like DialerOne (http://www.appbrain.com/app/dialer-one/kz.mek.DialerOne) which changes the dialing screen, but I'm pretty sure it wouldn't change the answer screen.
Sliding or pressing to answer calls doesn't matter to me, sliding just requires a tiny bit more finger effort, lol. Tell her it's good for her finger muscles lol.
I did notice that if the phone is "awake" and someone calls, you get the "push to answer" option instead of the slider. And when it's locked, you get the "slide to answer" option. Makes sense because they want to make it harder for you to answer a call on accident when the phone is locked and in your pocket. So if someone modified Phone.apk to always present you with the "push to answer" screen, then your problem would be solved.
If you're familiar with ADB, have you tried the downgrading thread over at the development section? Supposedly you can downgrade and root any G2 with it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1055581
Then you could just load up an MIUI or Sense ROM onto her phone and she'd be happy

Lol that sucks. I love Sense and MIUI ROMs but they're a little too slow for me. I've had the most success with the InsertCoin ROM. Pretty smooth, not as smooth as CM7 though... Of course that's just my opinion.
PreludeDrew, Kush Deck or JaredTheGreat? Wondering what people are running out of the three ICS roms.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
I installed Team Blaze's (Jared) newest ICS last night and was running Drew's prior to. I would say at this point they are almost the same... each one is making improvements... As for my experience... Jared's is solid and I haven't ran into anything broken. There are some things a little buggy (like TTS errors when opening Navigation, but TTS working just fine) but I haven't found anything broken. They are all working on making the camera better and it works on Jareds. These aren't final releases so I am good with what I have! Can't wait until these things get smoothed out as ICS is tight.
Jared The Great all the way baby.
ICS Question
I have been following these ROMS.
At least on the home screen they appear to be still pretty buggy.
I don't know if the MMS is working, the camera, all that stuff.
Just curious if someone can tell me what I need to expect after installing.
I am currently using Synergy non-god mode and hate it. It is SO LAGGY. It takes a good 15 seconds to get the icons to populate my home screen. I need a new rom and was wondering if these were worth switching too.
Thanks all.

Switch to MIUI. It is the fastest, most customizeable rom out there.
You may not like the no app drawer thing. But i just made a folder and put all the apps not on my screen in there. Now thats my app drawer!

He was asking about ICS not MIUI if I'm reading the first post correctly. MIUI fanboys are as bad as apple fanboys...
I'm running Deck's alpha 5 and it's really solid. Trebuchet is buggy but that's a known issue and the solution is to run Nova instead. It's definitely worth flashing an ICS ROM to get a feel for how they are.
james
I have run both Jared's and Drew's. Both solid build... both buggy as hell. They are still working on them. To be honest... the best one right now will probably be the one with the latest release.
Decks Alpha 5 for me with CoD tweaks. I haven't tried any of the other ones but this one is rock solid for me. There are quirks but any rom has those. Honestly I have better battery life on this then I ever have had before.

Uh yeah i know wut he was asking..i can read too. But ics isnt that great. Its gb with a theme and add that quick app thingy.
MIUI is actually different in looks as well as useability. And Im not a fanboy. It just is the best all around rom. Alot of people dont like the iphone like no app drawer as do i. But once u have one in miui it is by far the best rom available. For sure it is the least laggiest evo rom. And by the way these are facts. And if u disagree u must be a ics fanboy or just a straight up MIUI hater. Bu bye!

Gentlemen, best is predetermined to be biased upon your own preferences; there is no right answer here. Yes, ICS does have some nice features, like improved voice commands, better folder management, ect. And for MIUI yes it is a lil 'iphone' like in essence, but different from all the rest. Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but if you change the launcher, you fix the 'no app drawer' issue, which some people tend not to like.

Yea ur right. There is no right answer. I was just telling the guy on synergy that was laggy. That miui has no lag. And that other guy starts saying im a fanboy, thinking im referring to the OP. When i clearly quoted who i was replying to, and it got me in a **** talking mood. Sorry..my bad
And yea u can install a different launcher, but it takes away the uniform of MIUI, so i just made me a folder on the dock and put all the apps not on my screen in it
