Someone else noticed that Opera is much slower when screen is rotated to landscape mode (tested with a lot of roms up to date)? Especially scrolling is not so fluent and fast... Is it only my problem or is there any solution?
Thanks.
me too... i prefer portrait anyway
same here. Noticed it even on htc advantage.

Hi, I'm using the Touch X 10.9 NUTS rom from MrRusch. But when I switch to landscape mode and I scroll through the tabs on the homescreen of touchflo 3d it gets quite slow and sometimes even starts lagging.
This also occurs when I try to type a text. The text appears very slowly on the screen. I know this is a common problem and I tried the fix sms lag registry thing, which helped to reduce almost all the lag when the screen is in portrait mode, but it's still there in landscape mode.
Does anyone else have similiar problems, laggy interface whilest in landscape mode but not in portrait mode?
Never... : p
Maybe a better place for this problem is the specific rom thread.. Why do you open a whole new thread just for a rom problem?
I flashed to this ROM recently: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=562935
It is by far the fastest Leo ROM i have ever tried, and though in landscape there is a really teeny tiny lag in switching tabs (seriously it's nothing compared to others) but there definitely is no lags in typing or anything else...! Give it a go! (BTW - i downloaded the 23529 Build...)
Regards.

I would think this would be related to performance in general. So if the phone is performing well, it rotates quickly. If it's performing poorly, it rotates slowly...
There's a few things you can try to improve performance. Overclocking helps a little, but it's not a huge difference. Keeping apps from auto-starting on boot helps, I'm not sure of a simple way on how to do it... Suggested method for preventing apps from auto-starting.
That same user also uses an app called 'DroidWall' to prevent apps from connecting without permission. Might help with performance as well (not sure, but it can't hurt).
Anything that will slow down your phone has to go. Widgets are killer I've found... As much as I like them, they made the home screen SO slow. On that same tangent of home screens, have you looked at different launchers? The stock 'Launcher2' is kinda slow itself. I like ADW myself - there's many others out there (Zeam, GoLauncher EX, Launcher Pro to name a few...)

So it rotates quickly portrait -> landscape, but landscape -> portrait is slow...? I don't think I've heard of that one... Anyone else?
I'm not sure what can be done to fix that to be honest... new one to me .
I know gt8.9 is portrait bias right now, I feel quite lag in landscape mode and I always use landscape more than portrait.
So can anyone help to change it into landscape bias?

It's not that easy, it's display hardware that is rotated 90 degrees, so you can't just psychically unrotate it. If you just remove the HW rotation line from build.prop then everything will be messed up.
Its probably not impossible, but it requires a lot of work. You need to have all proprietary source files to rotate every sensor.
One thing i don't understand is why Samsung did it the way he did. They must have known about this Tegra 2 problem.
Hi all, I've had this tablet for about 2 weeks now. Before I received it, I assumed that I would set up my home screens for landscape mode and go Tablet UI right away. But as time goes by I find myself using portrait mode a lot more, whether or not it be setting up my launcher or using apps (with the exception of watching videos, of course).
What do you prefer?

I use portrait mode for most thing but web browsing and videos. Its real nice having the option

Portrait is so much easier to type and see text with since there's more text listed than landscape. I also find it LOADS easier to type with my thumbs in portrait mode.
I'm finding the typing a lot easier as well with two thumbs and the ability to swipe as well.
I use landscape for videos, portrait for everything else
Portrait for almost everything except YouTube.
I am 50-50 so far. I like landscape for web surfing and videos, portrait for reading and replying to messages. I should find an alternative keyboard to make thumb typing a little easier.

Get on the SwiftKey Flow beta. It's great on this device in either mode. Just change it to separate thumb mode while in landscape.
I'm about 50 50. I like using landscape and with the 4.2 keyboard it's pretty easy to type... for me

With my iPad I use portrait all the time probably because its big and heavy but with my nexus 7 I use landscape for almost every thing. I think because its pretty small and I feel I get more on the screen that way, plus I get to see all of the wallpaper on my home screen too

Landscape 99% of the time here... I could never find any advantages of using it in portrait - folks say that it's easier to type, but the keyboard is much smaller in portrait mode, which makes it harder to type in my opinion (much easier to hit the wrong key by accident).
Very interesting that it seems most folks prefer portrait.
Of course my case caters to landscape mode too, so that may play a big part as to why I use landscape mode most of the time...

the problem in landscape mode is the navigation bar that the bar is always on front.
That reduces the screen and make it too small.
I would like to have the choice to put the navigation bar at the side in landscape mode.
Does it possible ?
I find in landscape you can't see much, when the keyboard pops up it takes most of the screen and is so hard to view and type at the same time.

I usually use apex (sometimes nova) launcher, when you keep it in landscape (or portrait) only, you can maximize the area available. But then youre not able to use the other way ...

the problem with apex is the portrait / lanscape compatibily.
you can have a big desktop on landscape but the icons will disappears when switching to the portrait mode.
That's very annoyoing and this fix should be a basic feature !!

Is there any launcher capable of having icons arranged differently in portrait and landscape modes?
90% portrait
Both

True, but N7 screen width in portrait mode is same size as ~4" phone landscape.
In landscape, I can't type comfortably, because I guess I have quite short fingers and my thumbs can't reach the keys in the middle of the screen.
I use it mostly in portrait (my homescreen is arranged for portrait), I also browse in portrait mostly, because of exact thing Apple was bashing N7 on their iPad mini release (those extra pixels on iPad mini) - there's too much stuff on top and bottom, making visual area small (in chrome you can't hide address bar, like on stock phone ICS browser (it hides automatically when you scroll down the web site).
I find it more comfortable to hold in portrait, and it's easier to read stuff too (books are portrait after all).
I use landscape for videos and games (and stupid new skype).

Both ways but I guess its in Portrait most often.
I'm using the latest jcsullins ROM for jelly bean. Do you guys notice lag when scrolling through home screens in portrait mode? It isn't anywhere as smooth as landscape mode. I tried this on nova prime and treb launchers.
Bump. Does anyone have this problem or just me?
i do, and since the honeycomb it remains as an unsolvable problem

I'm on the same rom, but I never use portrait mode. I just tried it, and no lag. I'm using Apex launcher, maybe that's it?

Try scrolling in the browser, you'll notice a difference on heavier pages for sure. It is harder to tell on less intensive apps like the launcher.
I installed the FPS meter app to see the difference on the homescreen. When scrolling through homescreens on portrait mode i get around 30-40 fps, but in landscape mode it is a solid 60. I tried acme uninstalling and webos doctoring, reinstalling multiple roms. I have this problem using every type of launcher except GO launcher EX, for some reason it is smooth around 60 in both landscape and portrait, but only in CM9 nightly, not cm10 roms. So weird... I wish a developer for some of the roms could look into this.
