I do not want to keep the screen in portrait mode all the time but just make the locked screen in portrait mode.

I've tried locking my 2.1 streak in portrait mode using ADW and Extended Controls. It seems as though Dell may have fudged things because the portrait lock stays in landscape. Locking landscape also gives landscape when I tried it :D

I think those are for the lock screen?

I'm talking about the homescreen.

Another reason I think Dell have fudged landscape = portrait mode, if you use Google Gesture Search then it is only capable of displaying in the default mode (which would normally be portrait). On the Streak this is landscape - there is no way to tell Google Gesture Search to display in portrait mode on the Dell Streak.

Also, if I lock the ADW homescreen to "portrait" in the ADW settings, then it locks to landscape in reality.

So, I don't consider this resolved personally. I also find it kind of annoying, but can obviously learn to live with it (but I don't like my devices to dictate to me on ergonomics, I prefer to use things the way I find it comfortable).

I am sure there will be apps to keep it locked in portrait all the time.

I just wanted the lock screen in portrait mode as when i pull the device out of my pocket, my natural intent is to use it in portrait mode

However i like to preserve the autorotate mode at other times.

just got around to trying out WidgetLocker today - it's a keeper!

pity it doesn't replace the incoming call lockscreen (not here on 2.1 anyway ...) do we need a new dialer too?!

[Guest ipguy]

if there was any way to make the default orientation portrait for the lock screen, i would buy the app, unfortunately the ones mentioned here do not play nice with ADW.

Typical - today's update to 1.2.6 of WidgetLocker sticks the lock screen back into landscape mode! bah!

i have emailed the dev for his awareness ....

FWIW i'm using ADW with this and haven't seen any issues (only been running it for a day mind you ....)

You can lock it into portrait mode using only ADW, no external apps/widgets required.

I came across how somewhere over on XDA and reposted it here:

unfortunately for me, the dock bar is not able to be moved to the bottom of the screen, it's stuck on the right hand side... even after a reboot

[Guest bostonguy]

Odd, you must be on a different build or something else is different from mine (ATT US with O2 2.1 beta, rooted).

I had this too. This is what I did,

I uncheck System persistance, system preferences, in adw settings. then rotated to portrait mode and then re-checked the system persistance box.

nope, still doesn't work for me

what i'm really after is a way to make my streak "default" to portrait on all screens, lock and home but rotate based on sensor.

[Guest chrisrotolo]

anyone know of anyways to rotate the lockscreen? when i first booted froyo, the slider was in landscape then rotated to portrait. even if it just the slider that would be cool. I have seen the slider in landscape once or twice since then when I wake the device. so I think its definetly possible, any ideas anyone? Thanks

I don't think this is a real solution. These apps do not provide much security. It will work fine for someone that just wants to prevent his kids from opening the phone and playing a game but it wont provide the proper level of security for someone that needs it.

Like a previous poster said sometimes when my phone boots i get the lock screen in portrait for a spit second witch makes me believe that it's some setting somewhere in the build.prop or some other config file but no one has given it much though on how to fix this.

I agree...anyone find the setting? I have seen my screen do the same thing quickly upon powering on, so the option has to be somewhere...

I've had this happen to me a few times before too when I wake my phone the default lockscreen slider remained on landscape mode and was actually able to unlock it this way before it went back to portrait. Alot of times it would change right back to it's regular Portrait mode before I get to swipe it. It's gotta be possible somewhere, somehow.

Maybe DJ_Steve has a solution for this.....
