Home Screen Rotate?

I was just wanting to know that since we have root is there any way to get the the orientation to work on the homescreen.

Short answer: No.
Long answer: Rosie (the SenseUI Home Screen) does not support rotating. Dream users have modified it to make it rotate and it just crashes when it does.

I deleted rosie and installed HelixLauncher. It rotates and is much faster.

Yeah HelixLauncher is definitely the way to go. It's pretty fast and has live wallpaper support. Don't try HelixLauncher2 though; it FC's like crazy because it's only for the Nexus right now.

I use SMS Popup for text notifications and if i get a notification at the homescreen it allows me rotate it to view but it also changes orientation of the homescreen as well. The phone bar at the bottom is even intact and in a wider mode. I'm sure it's possible to do if it does it with sms popup

I suppose your Rosie could have better support than the Hero's rosie, being so much newer.

home++ rotates just fine best app ever

Has anyone figured this out???

One of my favorite things about the HD2 is the picture and music tab rotation. Has anyone figured out how to enable landscape mode while at the same time keeping the native picture and music rotation format? I've used several landscape mode cabs and tweaks but none so far can do this. Any ideas?

Hey torremitsu. Tell me what you're seeing when the picture and music tabs go into landscape..? I'm not sure what's looking different for you. I'm using the TX_Total_Landscape cab (which I'm sure you've already tried) on a stock ROM, and they look pretty much exactly the same to me (see images below). But, I'm sure I'm just being dense and not getting it lol
Or...are you saying you want everything to rotate into landscape except those two tabs...?

yes that is exactly how it looks with landscape enabled But without land scape enabled there is a totally different animation that i love. I wonder if there is a way to have both landscape enabled as well as keeping the original picture and music animation the same at the same time

wow dude...I'm totally missing something here lol, call me dumb I've played with those tabs in both landscape and portrait, with and without this cab, and I can find/see any visible differences in behavior. What animation is it that you're referring to? I don't know how to retain it in landscape, but I'm dying to figure out exactly what I'm not seeing here. Thanks for bearing with me!

No i COmpletly Get what my dude is saying. with the cabs installed its a snap change, bnut with the native rotation and actually animates a smooth change. and on top of that when in landscape on music tab (cab installed) you cant see the track list, when its native you can see the track list of your albums

Cover flow

I am thinking this dude wants to keep the landscape orientation with the pictures flowing across and the ablum cover flow to be the same. It looks a little different on your screen shots. I think he is wanting to remain like this.
But then again...I could be trippin' I am not so good with the words and putting them together and whatnot!!

LOL ok thanks everybody
I think there must be some different versions at play here or something. When I play with my music and picture tabs, I can't find any differences in the animations or behavior between landscape and portrait mode, it looks the same to me....I've never seen a look like the ones in toreone's screenshots, with or without this cab, no matter if I'm in landscape or portrait. My albums and pictures scroll up and down regardless of the orientation, and with the same animation, speed, everything. I'm also able to see the track listing just fine in landscape (by hitting the "library" soft-button). I'm sure there's just something I'm overlooking lol.
EDIT: or, I'm just thick in the head....let's not overlook that possibility

I found the perfect video that shows what im talking about. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MuOvHWoL5bg&feature=fvw

i know what you mean, in landscape it should show albums and scroll left right, but in roms that all tabs are landscaped it continues to show tracks and scroll up down, just sideways.
i don't use the tab player much, else it would annoy me too.

Unfortunately, I haven't been able to work this out either. If something is tab'd, it becomes a part of Sense and it's Sense that gets rotated, not the "Home Screen" or "Start Screen".

Ahhh well, maybe one day Thanks for the reply's gentlemen

Animator duration scale?

Anyone know what "Animator duration scale" in the Developer options settings is?

I'd like to know, too

Seems even google doesn't know since I haven't found the information despite googling for some time.
Since transition and window animations are covered by the other options I can only assume it affects widget animations or something.

This animation is when you press the app tray button.
However, you may change this option and notice it has no effect! Fine, call me a liar. Seriously though...
The reason it will *appear* to have no effect is because the launcher will need to be restarted.
Just set it to .5 or off if you want your app tray to pop up MUCH faster.
I assume this has no effect on custom launchers.

I was looking for this too, and did not find any answer, so I tried to set Animator duration scale to 10x and result is that this is let's say in app animation. In camera app it's animation of hiding settings buttons etc.
Truth is that an app has to be restarted to take effect. Just press recent apps and swype application , you're testing on away.
You can try it or watch video on YT http://youtu.be/Qot4n0EV1SE

hope this helps.
It changes the speed of certain apps animation and some system animation. Keeping it off or lower will increase the speed of animation.

Slide flickering while using "fast sliding" method

Some of my homescreen slides flickers a lot when I use the fast sliding methoc. By that I mean the method when you press the little house icon and the dots at the bottom of the screen. Anyone else experiencing this?

It's just the animations, you can enable developer options and scroll down to
Window Animation Scale
Transition Animation Scale
Animator Duration Scale
And change the values from 1x to either 0.75x or .5x or less or even off. It should solve it for you.

Thanks, but are you positive you understood what I meant? The widgets on the slide I scroll to or from, blinks/flickers. This is default behaviour, therefore I find it strange and need to ask. Will try your method though.

Yeah it'll just be the Animation on the device, the fast method is literally too fast for it and it shutters. I wouldn't worry to much.

Ok thanks man Have a nice day. Yo Yo,

Is it possible to disable the quick settings animation?

Does anyone know if it's possible to remove the animation that's used when the quick settings appear in MIUI 12 (I'm using xiaomi.eu)? I've disabled animations in Accessibility, but it seems to be the one animation that's not removed. For some reason, I find it really irritating!
