Guest That-Guy Posted June 18, 2011 Report Share Posted June 18, 2011 Anyone know if its possible to edit/tweak one of the Android OS files to enable Screen Rotation on the Home Screen and Apps Draw on the Huawei U8800? Its a simple feature that some Android Devices seem to have :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Simon O Posted June 18, 2011 Report Share Posted June 18, 2011 There should be some modified Launcher2.apk about that can do this. I use LauncherPro which allows rotation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest That-Guy Posted June 18, 2011 Report Share Posted June 18, 2011 Found a modified Launcher2.apk here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1025264 But that is for 2.3 so guessing it wont work, will keep looking :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest That-Guy Posted June 18, 2011 Report Share Posted June 18, 2011 (edited) This is a Froyo Launcher2.apk that should work I think but comes with Droid X Wallpapers bundled. Features: - 7 Home Screens - Faster - Auto Rotate Enabled Not tried myself yet: http://www.droidforums.net/forum/shadowrom...ate-faster.html EDIT: Download link does not work so still no closer :) Edited June 18, 2011 by That-Guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest That-Guy Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 Got a little bit closer with this after posting on another site. Was told I need to de-compile the launcher2.apk and search for android:screenOrientation="nosensor" and change to android:screenOrientation="sensor". They said it is in the file AndroidManifest.xml but cannot find it :) Anyone know if im missing something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make sure you use apktool or somefiles may not be extracted from the apk. I decoded with apktool and it's right there in the root directory with that string you are looking for: android:name="com.android.launcher2.Launcher" android:clearTaskOnLaunch="true" android:stateNotNeeded="true" android:launchMode="singleTask" android:screenOrientation="nosensor" android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan" This is the launcher i'm using (Stock Launcher2 from AOSP): http://www.mediafire.com/?4w9a9la1duv0a4d Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
