I'd like to request a rotating home tw launcher. Stock 4x4 grid is just fine, in fact preferred, but I gotta have landscape abilty !! I tried using a rotation app and I just doesn't scale correctly as noted on my past notes (2&3) but I was always able to find a modded launcher that either rotated on its own or would at least scale correctly when used with the rotation app.
So if anyone can point me towards the necessary edits, or edit it yourself and post, it would be much appreciated.

Well I got it to rotate with the help of a guide @dwitherell linked me to, but the scaling is off and the 4th row is cut-off. The same thing I was seeing with the ultimate rotation app.
Anyone know a fix? or can fix it?
I'm uploading what I have so far.
Thanks
Looks like this. .....

Hello folks, today I decided to try ADW launcher on my GTAB. I must say there are some really great looking themes, and its quite smooth and nice to use. The only problem I have went through so far is that wallpaper doesn't fit the all screen when in landscape mode. I have tried to resize them with the Gallery App, and I have also tried to download new ones from interfacelift with resolution of 960x854 or 960x800 but nothing has changed, and even wallpapers downloaded from the Grallery app doest fit the all screen in landscape mode. So I thought it must be a bug in ADW. Is there a way to make them fit the all screen ??
Thanks
not sure if this will help as I dont have a tab, but go into the ADM launcher setting and check or uncheck the wallpaper hack option....maybe that will help

It's old thread but is there anything happened with that problem since December? lol
Im still strugling witht that problem and half an hour surfing on the net didnt help. I sent mail to developer but so far no reply.
So the problem is old does anyone solved it yet?
What exactly is happening? Are some parts of the screen not covered by the wallpaper or are you only seeing a part of the wallpaper. I use ADW and in landscape mode. I get the top third of a wallpaper fully covering the screen. A live wallpaper I use works perfectly. Perhaps reset ADW to its default settings?

Have you tried these wallpapers with any other launcher?
You'll find that its the gallery's fault more than anything. Try multi picture livewallpaper

I am experiencing this as well. Portrait mode there is no issue, it is just landscape mode.
The stock standard Samsung home screen doesn't have an issue, it is just when I am viewing the ADW Launcher EX home screen. It is zoomed in on a particular section of the wallpaper and is only displaying a portion of the picture.
I have a Samsung GT-P7510 running Honeycomb 3.1 and ADW version 1.3.3.1
I too have the issue with my galaxy note, and i started this thread and had no luck so far

ADW Launcher EX wallpaper rotation bug
Well, on my Nexus 5 using ADW Launcher EX :
I'm in portrait mode, I set a custom wallpaper (image fits full screen, sides as expected are scrolling left/right when I switch through the desktops).
Now, I just rotate the phone to go in landscape mode, the wallpaper rotates but is cropped top/bottom and left/right too. "Ok, whatever..."
Then I rotate the phone back to portrait mode : the wallpaper doesn't come back to its original state but is kinda "zoomed in" so cropped on the four sides... I have to re-set it to get my original picture back...
The only fix I found was to force ADW to be in portrait mode and not use the sensor (the default launcher sticks to portrait mode anyway).
So, there actually IS a bug in ADW Launcher EX...
I wish the developer would fix this...
Hi, I've been having this issue for a very long time now, actually ever since I started to use the said music player app. It's an amazing app, no doubt, as it gives you a very good music player with a zune-like ui. The problem I have is with the widget. If you put an Ubermusic widget 4x4 on your screen, and the orientation is in portrait, you'll get 6 buttons: prev, play/pause and next at the bottom of the widget, and playlist, repeat, shuffle on the right side. But for some reason, whenever I rotate my screen into landscape, the last three buttons (playlist, repeat, shuffle) inconveniently disappears.) I tried 'resizing' the widget in landscape to see if it will fix the problem, but I find out that even if you resize it in the maximum size that it can get (10x10), it still won't let you see those buttons IF IT'S IN LANDSCAPE. It functions fine in portrait, but the problem is I always use my device (a NookColor running CM7,) in landscape. I tried this on various launchers as well. I primarily use ADW EX and I tried it in Go Launcher but it still won't solve the problem. I tried contacting the developer, he said that since the widget was designed with phone constraints in mind, it will always be that way. I suggested a widget usable in landscape but he didnt respond. I love this app, and I woukd greatly appreciate it if someone can help me out. Is there any way to modify the APK and correct the widget or at least 'trick' the widget into thinking that it's in landscape? By the way, the widget skin I used was the Clear Widgets Skin (transparent one).

I'm looking for a portrait "hub" layout of sorts for my nexus 7.
I've been reading through XDA and other forums for the past few days checking out the different tablets and homescreens.
I have found some fantastic ideas from others, but they all use either ADW EX Launcher or Launcher Pro Plus.
Launcher Pro Plus doesn't play very nicely with Jelly Bean.
ADW EX works decently, but I cannot get the show/hide status bar to remove the top bar on ADW unless I take my DPI back to 160dpi to kick my notifications bar to the bottom of the screen.
I don't like the tablet UI b/c I use my device 99% of the time in portrait mode.
Unfortunately this makes neither LPP or ADWEX viable options for me.
Is there a launcher that allows to 100% disable transitions and you can jump to page 'X' without seeing any of the other screens, the same ADW and LPP do?
Thank you in advance! Any and ALL help is GREATLY appreciated.
I read that twice and I still have no clue what you are talking about. Maybe you can post a video.

I guess I am aware I can Set the screen transition to none, but that still shows the screen as I move from one screen to another. I am hoping I can click directly on a shortcut that will take me to the desired screen (jump to screen x) without any other transition showing. Instead I see the other screens pass by even when clicking on jump to screen.
Does that make sense?

I've tried many launchers including Xperia S, GO, holo, etc.. their landscape behavior is same : stretched widgets..
I wanted launcher like SPB shell or nokia belle home, where we can configure different layout for portrait and landscape.. but I don't like SPB, that's too heavy and not matched with android theme..
I really miss my nokia n8 because of the home screen

there is no launcher that can do LOGICAL LANDSCAPE so far to my knowledge.
I've tested almost all of them, and they all just put the portrait configuration into landscape. which messes up the look, leaves large unused space between the icons (when in landscape) and the widgets get squeezed into thin lines of available space and simply become unusable.
so, any other suggestions?
Just turn your head while keeping the phone upright. That gives a good working landscape view.... Well sortof.

Ive found this thread via google because i searched for a better way.. but ill tell you what im using now - which gives a quite satisfiying result - but it requires some workaround
First you need Apex Launcher - i have not found a different launcher which allows to set landscape grid different from portrait
then you can set your widgets and icons like that:
Have fun!
Hi everybody. In this period I'm using a touch wiz ROM and I love its launcher, but sometimes I would like to disable the scroll of wallpaper. When I had my HTC hd2 I downloaded a lot of portrait wallpaper that I would like to use, but with scrolling the effect is horrible. Is there any way to have an option for disable/enable scrolling like other launchers? Eventually there is a mod to disable it?
P.S. before asking I tried to modify the apk by myself, but it didn't work well anymore. I'll try again, but meanwhile I would be able to disable it.

In my case, when I choose a pic from GALLERY (very important, choosing from quickpic for example won't bring same options) to take like wallpaper it shows two "modes", portrait and landscape. I choose portrait and the wallpaper don't scroll. That's on la completely stock rom XXLSZ.
I haven't tried but asume choosing landscape wallpaper will scroll...
Regards.
thanks for your answer, but unfortunately didn't work for me. i tried both portrait and landscape image types, but is always scroll. and with a portrait pictures on lateral pages are visible black stripes, so nothing to do at the moment.
on ICS i remeber, if i chose a wallpaper of 800X1280, it doesnot scroll..

Mine is 1000 x 800.
I don't know if that brings difference.
not sure,, but the height should be 1280 and w=800
I think the resolution need to be a minimum of 1600 x 800.. Try finding another wallpaper at that resolution and try it..
thanks alot for your multiple anwers, but none of them worked. the last thing i can do is trying to modify launcher following madijni giude, but i'm not so good, so tell me good luck
