Auto-Rotation

[loserpunk701]

ok, I just flashed to joeykrims final kernel. still having the problem. I know I could rotate my home screen fine when I first got it and when I got the CL14 somewhere between then and now, not positive if it was when I flashed the first time or an app or what.... heres a list of apps I have downloaded.

[edit] I just downloaded advanced launcher and it does solve the problem... sooo one of these apps has to be causing it.

yea, I was originally able to rotate the home screen. and now the home screen is the only thing that will not rotate properly.

did your phone come with the CL14 update on it?

I'm about 99% positive that the homescreen DOES NOT rotate without the keyboard open unless you have a different home app like pandahome. I've yet to see it rotate the stock homescreen on stock, CL14, or 2.1.

I agree. I have seen it auto-rotate in PandaHome and Open Home but never in the stock Home.

you guys could be right. I am wrong every now and then. it really doesn't matter I guess, but it's kind of annoying... it seems like I remember it turning sideways cause I was using the virtual keyboard on the google search bar.

I had thought maybe it was just a weird malfunction. I have a problem with my virtual keyboard making stroke sounds. if I go to the menu>settings>sound and display and audible touch tones is unchecked, yet my virtual keyboard is making keystrokes. I turn it on, then back off again and the keyboard no longer makes sounds when I use it. if I turn the phone off and on again, the virtual keyboard makes the sounds again, and I have to go through this process to change it. I was hoping the home screen problem was similar, but evidently not.

either way, I have downloaded advanced launcher, which I like so far, and it fixed the home screen problem so...

If you are using the Android Keyboard then go to Settings -> Language & Keyboard -> Android Keyboard Settings -> Sound on Keypress.

I'm on 2.1 right now so the locations could be slightly different, but the option should still be there in 1.5.

no, the option is there, but I have to check it and uncheck it like three times before it actually applies the settings.

The stock home screen on android does not rotate and never has on cj05 or cl14 unless you open keyboard but pretty much every alternative home has the option such as gde openhome pandahome advanced launcher etc.
