Why should something being fixed as long as it's not broken?
The HTC Leo has no landscape mode because it has no keyboard, that is.
All that could be done would be a workaround to switch to the "old" 2.1 landscape or simply show a quickmenu to select an application to open, but I guess that would be slow because it has to implemented as add-on because it's not part of TF3D2.5.
By the way, why do you mind? All apps, EMail and SMS work in landscape and the TF3D surface is hard to use in landscape anyway.
The main problem with TF3D2.5 is that it is still slow (Messaging, Music Library). Maybe it won't get any faster on TP2 because the Leo has a faster CPU.

Now i understand the Prop, thanks a lot......still waiting for the official release by HTC, it can't be so long....
Have a nice WE

[Q] Dev Challenge: TwLauncher with Landscape mode [video attached]

Guys,
SGS owner sapiensbryan found a bug in TwLauncher to make the TwLauncher to able to display Landscape mode for both desktop/ Home and Application screen, but the change is neither auto nor permanent.
Will any developer able to make a patch to make it switchable and permanent just like LauncherPro?

>> Firmware 2.1-update1 (Eclair.DXJG4).
>> Try playing Angry Birds then return to homescreen half way playing, you might see the homescreen in landscape if you are lucky.

Cool but, where does he explain how he did it?

looks like Samsung can make TwLauncher in Landscape but has it locked, do not know the reason behind.

I believe the homescreen goes into landscape on the Epic 4G when the keyboard is out. Since the firmware is similar the code for landscape mode is still there on the other versions.
If you use LauncherPro you can have it go into landscape mode based on orientation, but it happens to be more irritating that useful.

Is it possible to change the default landscape orientation?

Here is what I mean:
When using portrait and launching an app that forces landscape (most games, for example), it always defaults to 90 degree rotation (ie. Turning the phone counterclockwise). With the SGS in a lot of games this is uncomfortable when plugged in because of the USB port's location. If the other landscape orientation (270 degrees I guess, or turning the phone clockwise from portrait) were used the cable would be on top and you could rest your hand beneath it. It would also have the advantage of your hand not covering the light sensor and causing brightness changes.
So my question is, is there an app that can force this globally, or maybe a configuration change I've missed?

I dont think thats possible
but i guess a software can be built cosidering the fact that our captivate supports landscape in both directions in other apps and while reading and browsing on net

I've seen posts about orientation settings in build.prop but they were all froyo. I've also read that since gb there is a screenOrientation= reverseLandscape option for individual apps' AndroidManifest.xml file, so editing them individually should work. Just makes me think there must be a value somewhere that defines what the default landscape orientation is, just don't know if it's compiled or easy to modify.

If anyone is interested, there's an app on market called Orientation Control that can force orientation, even has a tasker plugin. I created a tasker profile for apps that force landscape and used the plugin to force reverse
landscape instead, then an exit task to set it back to portrait. Works perfectly

[Q]Change the gt8.9 into landscape bias?

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.

[Q] How to setup Sixaxis map on Note? [solved]

I am having a real pain attempting to setup touch profiles for sixaxis on the Note.. I can't.
The basic procedure starts with importing a screen capture as background, and it as at this point that it fails... No matter in what orientation or how i try, the screen capture ALWAYS shows portrait mode... so it is not possible to hold the Note in landscape and create a landscape touch profile.. in line with how the game will be played..
any advice?
Note (non-Samsung type note):: I am rooted, have the PS3DS3 paired and working fine on a N64oid map created by others.. simply unable to correctly follow steps on the Note to create new profiles

I had that problem on my Atrix. What I wound up doing was rotating and resizing the image on my PC to compensate for the app forcing everything into Portrait view.

Thanks for this tip.. it certainly worked.
[EDIT 7th April]
Thanks to Scottmog in another thread, a cleaner solution is as follows.. goto settings>edit background>tap middle of screen.. it is a rotation button...
