360° rotation

I'm running cognition 2.4.1, it has a rotation on the home screen! The actual home screen will rotate when the screen it turned landscape. The other cogs dont do this, even the newest one(11/18/10). I asking if we can get a full 360 degree rotation for the screen, like the jailbroken iPhone. That's just cool! Useful as well when using it in the car on landscape.

Check Settings=>Display and see if auto rotate screen is checked.
You can also use LauncherPro to achieve the same.

or you can simply pull down the task bar, and hit the auto rotate button

I actually like the home screen rotating. I'm just wondering if there is a way to do full 360° rotation. With the plug on the top, I could turn the phone upside down when in the car. I love it.

It's launcher dependant. Pull the launcher .apk from whatever ROM and plug it into another.

Prevent lockscreen rotation on keyboard opening?

I mainly use the slideout keyboard to wake my milestone, but then the lockscreen rotates to landscape - which takes few precious seconds.
Is there a way to prevent rotation for the lockscreen only?
I use CM6, if that matters ..
Thanks.

Home screen did not rotate

Is it possible to set the home screen to rotate? I use the original rom and with "rotate screen" - ON , but the home screen did not rotate.

Currently on stock firmware there isnt a function to make the the home interface rotate. A dev could possibly make a mod, but development is slow. one other thing you can try is try another home launcher.

It does rotate when using the docking station though, so the functionality is already there. Just the lockscreen does not rotate.

Thanks for the replies. I have the phone for one day and still learning what to do and to setup.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I think also the lockscreen will be easily able to rotate, with the pincode turned and screen locked try to take a picture, the press manual mode, it will ask for the pin, for ~2s the lockscreen is perfectly aligned in horizontal then it rotates.
I don't get why Sony should prevent homescreen and lockscreen to rotate when seems they are both built to do that.

try "Screen Rotation Steuerung" App -> set to auto -> voila you have rotation Homescreen! (Damn not ootb)

[Q] autorotate landscape with rotating back home recent

How do I get the back home recent bar at the bottom of the screen to rotate as well when I flip to landscape it stays on the side... I've seen pictures of it on the bottom with apex launcher I just can't get my dock and back home recent buttons to rotate as well

ok so apparently thats tablet behavior. tablets have the ability to switch to a phone config (soft keys stay top or bottom and rotate in place) which would be the behavior i described.... so basically it would have to be done at the source code level. bummer..... it really should be an option imo =\

Portrait mode orientation

Hi, got my T5 recently and met with some strange and annoying problems with regards to orientation/rotation with apps such as Tradingview and Investing.com, which somehow insists the bottom side of the portrait mode be the side where the power button is located. Though I doubt the problem is with the apps. Anyone saw the same and have any solution/suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Homescreen rotation stuck on portrait mode.
Had a problem with the homescreen which stuck at portrait mode even the auto-rotate function was turned on (blue in task bar and on in screen settings). Was really annoying, suddenly all other apps rotate but not the home screen ?
Found out there is a dedicated setting for the home screen, hold your finger on the homescreen background for a couple of seconds and the screen will give you access to widgets, wallpapers and a setting button which leads to another homescreen setting which also have a auto-rotate switch. That was somehow turned off in my case. After switching it back on it works again. Apps and Homescreen rotation fixed.
