Force Portrait Mode

[Guest theeskimo]

Any way to force portrait mode on the vega (even for the homescreen), I envy the galaxy tab and ipad because portrait is so much better than landscape.

What happens when you use the orientation lock?

Don't have the vega on me atm, where's the orientation lock?

Would this force the homescreen to portait mode?

I see, you didn't rtfm :unsure:

Between Power button and Back button there is a small slider. You turn your Vega so that it shows portrait mode, then you move the slider to the lock position and your tablet stays in the orientation that it is at this moment (until next boot or until you move the slider again).

I think the OP is referring to the default Launcher only working in Landscape and not Portrait. Try a different Launcher program line ADW which will switch between landscape and portrait formats.

Haha, ofc beegee its like getting something from ikea, you've got to do it yourself :unsure:

cheers Dave I'll take a look as soon as I get my vega back.
