Rotate Screen 180° (Upside down) - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

SO, Is there any way to flip the screen rotation 180 degrees? I fond it alot more comfortable to hold my phone while charging and listening to music where the plugs are on the bottom instead of the top. Is there an app or mod out there where you can do that? I be looked but to go. ): Thanks!

I would like this functionality as well. The feature is in Cyanogenmod...is there anyway to unlock it in other ROMs?

Haven't thought much about this but there's been a few times where I wanted this to work, it would be nice feature indeed, but no biggie. I'm actually hoping for the cyannogenmod "CRT on" animation to be added as well.

cyanogen is the only only rom to have that functionality to my knowledge and you would have to ask your rom dev to implement it. same goes for the old tv on and off animation but that is something google themselves implemented with 2.3 so its buried in the code somewhere. and im sure if you ask your rom dev nicely and maby donate a coupple bucks im sure they would be more than happy to enable those features

Agreed! Just donate/ask nicely! or flash cm7

Is anyone still working on a Pulse rom?

Does anyone know of a Pulse rom that is still in development(on xda or elsewhere)? I really liked Diaz's rom and would still be using it if it didn't reboot after calls.
I'm sure I'm not the only person who liked this rom.
I did searches on XDA and Google, came up with nil.(sorry if I missed anything)
Thanks.
there is one posted nov 4 on droid haven but dont know if it works on the g1
I love the Pulse rom too, my favorite actually. The Droid Heaven rom cause alot of FC's on my G1, completely unusable for me.
hey thanks for your reply.
Does it still reboot after a call?
Do you have a link for it? I searched for pulse rom, no dice....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=580117
It's in the Sapphire rom development forum...good luck with it!
Thanks!

I was going to mess with it but really all I wanted was the home launcher ported. Still, it's Cupcake and I've been working on Donut. Still have a working build (for a Vogue/Kaiser though). What are you trying to do with it? It seems really scaled down and bare but I would like to scrape it for parts maybe. The 9 panel zooming home screen is really nice
I'm trieng to just port the launcher, but no progress till now. Anyone got the Pulse Launcher working on another rom?

[MOD] Honeycomb-inspired Lock screen for CM7 - beta

I have been working on a lock screen that I will be submitting to CyanogenMod upon finishing but wanted to let you guys check it out and give me some feedback. It is in very early stages of development but so far it works and I must admit, it's pretty cool.
The lock screen widget that I made is inspired by the honeycomb lock screen. The idea is simple: there is a small circle inside a larger circle, and when you drag the small circle to the outer circle it triggers an action (i.e. unlock, sound off, custom app.)
What works so far:
As you can see in the screenshots the outer circle has been separated into two "arcs." The arc on the right triggers a screen unlock, and the arc on the left triggers sound on/off.
Yes, I know the widget covers up the time/date text but that can easily be moved around. I will worry about that later. Right now I am focusing on functionality.
What's to come:
Soon I will be adding a third arc for custom applications. I may add two more arcs which may be customizable. So, if you choose, you can have 2, 3, or 4 arcs that each trigger a different action.
Now for the fun part..
If you want to install this and try it out (and I would really appreciate if you did)
EDIT: I botched the flashable zip. Attached a zip with framework folder. Extract, do this:
Code:
adb shell stop
adb remount
adb push /path/to/framework/ /system/framework
adb shell reboot
Note: this framework was built with an old source (3 or 4 days old). I can almost guarantee it will cause some apps to force close and possibly display some weird icons here and there. Source is being synced now. If you want to try, backup your framework.
To backup,
Code:
adb pull /system/framework/ /path/to/backup/folder
Restore,
Code:
adb push /path/to/backup/folder /system/framework/
Enjoy and please lend me some feedback!
I don't see the flashable zip? Thanks a lot for this, its awesome. Now we just gotta get the circle smaller and the colors right and it will be great thanks!

Yeah sorry about that. I posted new instructions
Okay so i tried it, I think it has a lot of potential. Gave me some fc's with apps and my status bar was kinda messed up, but the lockscreen functionality is pretty cool. I look forward to seeing this development!

Yeah I just realized I'm getting some force closes too. I'm sycing my source right now so I will have an up to date version soon that won't break anything. And hopefully some lock screen updates too
I'm on build 2, I'm not sure how much the framework has changed from then..

I'm on build 2 as well. The lock screen works but I get browser, gallery, and probably some others force close. It is good to try for now but no good for long term use until I finish syncing the latest source
Yeah sounds good. Good work

this lockscreen is pretty sick. I actually never saw the honeycomb lockscreen so i was lost at first on how to unlock my phone lol. it would be nice if it was displayed under the clock but im sure that's coming. i'd love those custom app options also. good work!
this is a pretty cool idea!
Could I use this on my fascinate? Like I know its not the nexus s but would it work?

[CONCEPT] Honeycomb-like lockscreen for Android 2.3

Hey guys,
I have designed a new honeycomb-like lockscreen (optimized for tablets in landscape mode and for smartphones - one handed usage in portrait mode), and I'd like to gather some feedback from you
This is not meant to be an exact copy of the original HC lockscreen: my goal is to offer a similar experience while also providing as much informations as possible and offering an option to use it fullscreen, without the statusbar.
[PROJECT STATUS]
Picard666 has done a fantastic job porting this concept to MIUI and now the project has been released at this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19222707
CM integration is still pending.
[PICS]
Here are the latest mockups
Landscape (ontop of mad-murdock's CM7 tablet tweaks):

This looks great! My only suggesting would be to remove the shadowing behind the lockscreen info. I think this would make a for a cleaner lockscreen.
Does anyone else feel the same way?
Do you know where you could get the lockscreen info widget you have?

Do you mean the semi-transparent black background behind the info text?
I think this is a necessary feature as it's a huge plus for elements visibility. No matter what pic you choose as the background, you'll be able to read the infos without any troubles
Looks nice! What is the gesture for unlocking the device? I'm guessing by the small arrows on the lock, you can drag it up, left, or right? Is there a way to just use one direction?
Also, link?
nice work buddy

Atm this is just a concept. If I'll get enough positive feedback I'm confident that with the fundamental help of mad-murdock this will be implemented in a future version of CM
I think that, usability-wise, the best option is to give the user the choice about the drag-to-unlock movement
Looks great, hope to see this merged soon
Love it! Super sexy.
looking amazing nice work
The design is nice, you got my vote!
Huge thumbs up for this idea, I really hope you guys get this put together!
Awesome can't wait for it to be on cm7.1

5 Finger Lock Screen

I am surprised no one has made a lock screen where you need to use all 5 fingers to unlock. Kind of like in the commercials.

me too!!! i would pay for that!!
but i also want to contral my tab with 5 fingers! like they were doing showing the texts... you know? maybe for tab switch in the browser...
+1 here for this great idea!
thats the best lock screen idea in the history of lock screen ideas, would be ool if it had buttons like in the videoeo that quick linked you to several app, music Calender gmail contacts browser, all the most used, also if it was as big as one in video you could have buttons on outside ring, and a working manipulatible preview of the app button selected on inside ring, and you could scroll through each preview by rotating the lock.
I'd like that! Its like a holographic mouse!

Some nice ideas here. As much as I love the vanilla experience, in terms of lockscreens Google always disappoints me. Especially with Honeycomb: The first thing I though was: Why not having, let's say, up to 5 app shortcuts around the ring (just like the "lock"). If you move your finger to the lock, you unlock. Move it to the "Music" symbol, you open your music app, move it to the "Pulse" app...you get the idea. There are so many opportunities, especially with this kind of big screen (and the support of 10 Fingers at once) that it hurts me to only see this (even though fancy) ring to unlock without further modifications.

[TOP TIP] Auto hide on screen buttons by swiping up

Hey guys,
I'm new over here because I just upgraded from my Xperia S to an Xperia T (dont ask haha) so hi .
basically the first thing I thought when using the phone was what a waste the buttons were as they took up quite a good part of the screen, and so despite being 0.3" bigger than the Xperia S this was not noticeable. I also hated the aspect ratio of the screen love a good 16:9
anyway after searching on here and around for ages I finally came across a simple solution that works very well
its this app here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gmd.hidesoftkeys
I bought the pro version and its def worth it, because this is such an amazing set up!
sorry if this is already well known on here, but thought I'd share anyway, oh and if you find you can't activate the buttons in the camera mode its because you have to swipe from the side (it thinks its landscape, same with full screen games)
Very nice, I love this
I like it too

Thanks, just had a play with it. but prefer the one I posted in this thread because you can customise much more like make the icons xperia and not google nexus style, also it hides the current on screen buttons without needing to do anything yourself so more simple for people.
also guys what I realised is its best to select 'spoof soft keys' otherwise apps will open without the more options button so you'll have no way to get into further settings etc.
