is there anyway i can force my SGS into landscape?
if you use Launcher PRO (free)
it will automatically switch to landscape mode when you tilt the phone.
Hi there I am using launcher pro but was hoping there was a way to force the phone to stay in landscape like the dell

yes you can, there is an ON/Off switch you can install to keep the phone in landscape mode or portrait mode

I don't know if there is one already or if there is a way to do this but I have been wanting an app that allows me to rotate the screen when I want it not automatically. I find pretty annoying with auto rotate or if I want landscape I have to open the keyboard.
The ideal thing for me is to have the option stick in the notification bar and be able to toggle landscape mode. simalar to the app "bar control" I would gladly pay for this app if there isnt one out already.
no app out there likes this yet
droid sans tweak or ahome lite which is free and has auto rotate sorry goodluck
I am using AOSP YMCA Gingerbread ROM 1/28 and I notice I get lag on my screen when it switches into landscape mode. Is there a way of preventing it from going into landscape mode?
Do you want just ADW to stop switching, or every program (except youtube or apps that run natively in landscape)?
Landscape
You can actually turn off auto landscaping.
Home Screen -> Menu -> Display, then uncheck auto-rotate screen. Applications like youtube will still be able to rotate when you put them into landscape.
I think that's what you're requesting.
Thank you that fixed it

If I want the screen permanently in portrait mode I can switch off "Auto rotate screen".
But how can I achieve permanent landscape mode?
(I'm on ICS)
Many thanks.

What're you using ?
If you are using touchwiz landscape is impossible.
For some other launchers(like Apex) set orientation to permanent landscape
I'm running LauncherPro over ICS. But in fact my problem is solved as I'm successfully in permanent landscape mode thanks to the app "Ultimate Rotation Control".
How can I have the XZ's homescreen automatically rotate to landscape mode without using a different launcher? - Display settings for screen roatation doesn't help, as it only affects apps, not the homescreen. A tweak should be possible, as the homescreen automatically rotates to landscape when then XZ is plugged into the docking station.

Rotate in the Play Store

I am using the default launcher and the homescreen automatically rotates for me when i plug it into the dock.
It also auto rotates if you plug MHL cable in.
Would be good to have auto rotate when you turn the phone.
Must be a way to do it.

try this app
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=gpc.myweb.hinet.net.RotationAnywhere
The app istn working for me. I would like to prefer the tweak in the build.prop or anywhere. I guess its doable.
It works.
Open the app and enable it.
Go to homescreen, expand status bar and click on Rotation Anywhere.
There u can set position of launcher.
Is there a setting that locks the home screens to portrait but still allows the apps to rotate to landscape?
I don't believe there is anything in Android settings, but you could use a 3rd party rotation control app like Ultimate Rotation Control. Set it up so OneUI Home or whatever home launcher you're using is forced into Portrait mode

Try Settings -> Display -> Home screen
You should then have an option to rotate Home screen to landscape or not.
I hope that helps!View attachment 4916397

I didn't even notice that setting, probably because I've been using Nova Launcher forever. That setting gets blacked out when using other launchers. Thanks for clarifying.

Since Samsung UI has come of age I don't use Nova anymore ... and UI is getting better with each update! It does all that Nova did when I last used it.
