Which roms have a Landscape homescreen? - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I currently run Skyraider sense 3.3.3... I just bought a car dock and I'm wonder which rom currently available is the best to run in landscape mode...
Is there any sense rom that can do it?
Devs... what are the chances we could make it happen?
Please elaborate =) Thanks

Sense roms don't so landscape sorry

Crap, I cant remember what I ran that did landscape sense. It looked weird tho... Easiest thing is run Launcher Pro... It has most sense style widgets built in to the paid version...

There are new Sense UI versions that do run landscape. The Desire Z for example. However , landscape Sense is not happening due to, from what I've heard, not detecting the keyboard being slid out.
I have been searching for an app that will either force landscape or tell the system the keyboard is out. No luck with anything working yet.

I just use Launcher Pro. Works great and I actually like a lot more than Sense.

Incdoes tweeted a picture of his Incredible with landscaped home screen and it was a Desire port. Not sure if he got it working without issues, but I would PM him and ask.

Cyanogen camera on skyraider 3.0?

I really dislike a few things about sense, however I cant deny that my phone has been running very good with skyraider. Previously I was running cyanogen and I was loving the pure vanilla, but like I said so far skyraider is running alot better. My question is: is there a way I can get the evo or cyanogen camera on my phone now? The stock sense camera is horrible.
I also would love to have the dailer and messaging from vanilla if possible. If I have to push something through abd, can someone please refresh my memory with a step by step process how to do it. The unrevoked programs spoiled me so much I forgot how to access it.
Thanks
I don't have an answer -- but I'm curious: what about the Sense dialer and camera don't you like ... or probably easier to answer: what do you miss about the vanilla dialer and camera?

After using the nexus camera from the cyanogen rom, it took alot better pictures due to on screen button, rather than using the track button, I also liked the option lay or alot better. The dialer and the messaging also was alot smoother and I also liked the layout better also. This rom is alot better running, but I miss some vanilla features
Dailer one from market
Had the same problem as I wanted vanilla dialer

Took a look at it, I really just want the stock dialer, messaging, gallery, and camera. The only thing I like about sense really is the weather animations after awaking it (can't wait to see the snow one).
Can someone please point me in the right direction to doing this, is it possible?

You know you can push anywhere on the screen and hold to take a snapshot using the htc camera...
It actually focuses and takes better pics when you do it that way, too.

[Q] Hack for enabling landscape in Sense?

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.

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.

Anyone have a clock for AOSP that works like the sense one?

I have been looking for a clock that is like the stock sense one that has alarms and timer and stop watch all included haven't been able to find one for a AOSP rom would like to find a sense based clock that works with AOSP rom that has all the goodies with it. Only thing thats stopping me from wanting to use a AOSP rom all the time. I like the senseless roms but its a pain to find something that may work until it boot loops sucks. Anyone know of any i have checked out the clock forums on here but all they seem to be is fancy clock widgets. So can anyone point me into the right direction. Thanks I am pretty familiar with APK files..

I'm using the Weather & Toggle widget on my hero and using it asa my EVO comes in. It's almost exactly like the stock one and there's skin downloads to match it exactly. I paid for mine because it's worth the couple bux bud, seriously. I don't buy many apps, just help out the devs but this one was a no brainer for AOSP roms.

Thanks i was hoping to beable to use the sense pack htc clock on a few senseless roms FC on alot of it kinda blows i really just want stock clock with alarms and everything. Id be thrilled i hope someone comes out with a better gingerbread keyboard.
I'd use AOSP roms in a heartbeat if I could get this too. Can never find a keyboard as good as the HTC one either.

Ya i am likeing cm7 tho the keyboard sucks its a pain to use. The clocks out there are not as good sense based one. Hope someone can fix that. The roms to have dried up not to many people are making anything new. I like evo based roms not ports. If your really want a port go get the phone in my opinion. Im like konies rom elite 3 battery life isnt good on stock kernel the clock doesnt suit me trying to replace it.
Fancy widget has the clock your looking for plus a whole lot more..

Sense replacements
I am on ASOP now and have really missed a lot of Sense stuff since switching to Cyanogen 6 a few months ago.
I have used a number of stopwatch apps and don't really like any of them.
I am using TouchPal, beacuse I don't like the stock dialer, but am not crazy about TouchPal.
I am using SwiftKey as a keyboard, which I do really like a lot.
I use Beautiful Widget's: Super Clock. Its the best thing next to sense. Plus you can change up the skins faster than you do your socks!
Also I use Swift Keyboard. It looks similar to the touch input plus its crazy convenient!

Ehh, I just want the time and an alarm lol. W&T widget defaults to the stock clock, which has an alarm so that's cool. The KB is garbage though you're right. Many months ago when I was on Sense roms with my Hero I was using the AOSP-voice keyboard but now I'm on Better Keyboard 8. My EVO should be in tomorrow and I'm guessing that just the meire size of the phone should make ANY keyboard easier to use lol. The Hero landscape is just a little too small for my big fingers.

Check out HD Widgets. It's on app store for a small amount but is well worth it and it looks great. It has lots of clock widget sizes and styles, with or without weather and is highly customisable.

more sensitive carousel

Does anyone Find that the carousel feature on sense 3.0 isn't sensitive enough? HTC came into work to demo the latest phones and I realized how easy its intended to be to get into this mode. I want to try work on a fix but I'm not sure where to start. The first thing to work out is if just controlled in the Rosie APK or could it be to do with screen sensitivity controled in another file.
If anyone has any knowlage about this it would be greatly appreciated
Try Hamdirs Rosie
Easy, looks good in slow motion

I'll have a look at this in the morning. I intended this to be more of a development thread as I intend to be able to work this into something to include in a rom. would be a good addition to the dev forums. Its so much easer to use on devices like the evo 3d and sensation xl, We should be able to change this with a bit of knowledge about the coding
Why?
Its only 5 screens, and all it does is spin you back to the same screen you were on. I don't want mine more senstive than it is really, otherwise it will be kicking off at random when I don't need it.
Sense 3.5 and Sensation based roms such as Virtuous Unity 2.39 seem to have much more sensitive carousels (1 full screen slide = spin). Its just the official HTC RUU 3.06.405.1 roms such as Revolution that have really difficult to spin carousels.
I'm pretty used to using the carousel to spin 3-4 screens, even though its probably slower... (But at least its just a full swipe and a tap, instead of 4 half slides)

Its 7, and even on sensitive roms such as VU and sense 3.5 roms, its pretty difficult to activate without trying as you have to slide around 75% of the screen somewhat quickly.

HTC sense 4+ wallpaper losing scrolling effect?

this is absurd i like rosie and i cant even use my LWP
Dang... Someone needs to get a mod for that.. I really liked the scrolling wallpaper effect..
Not only did it look awesome, it allowed us to have a high quality wallpaper and see everything that was on it...
I too just found out that I no longer has scrolling wallpaper. Is it me or is someone from HTC making retarded choices for their updates. If you have a functionality such as wallpaper scrolling, you cannot take it away when you update the firmaware...I did not buy something and have it taken away in the upgrade.
It should not require someone to do a hack to get that function back. I don't have an iPhone because I know what it can and what it cannot do...
HTC, you need to listen to your users.
I agree with you. That really sucks.
I'm hoping there come a rosie mod for it soon.
Thanks a lot fu**ing HTC.
I installed official JB update and for a few days bg scrolling was working normally then out*off nothing it stopped. Any solution?
You could try using Go Launcher, or any of the other launchers on the market, they will give you the scrolling WP. Unless if you're like me and you like Sense, then alas we're stuck with it
Anyone know if there is a mod for this yet for Sense? I haven't seen anything yet and would really love the scrolling WP back.

I think we just need to go back to GB for the scrolling WP...and any other i might add, like bouncing effect...in every update HTC made, it will get simpler and lesser in graphic...just more software but no theme....

I think you mean ICS and I can't believe htc would make such a stupid decision like this. Oh wait, yes I can. This is why custom roms were created.
yap, it sucks.
