Fix for v5.0.0.323 Landscape Custom theme (White Bars)

[dukins]

Not sure if this was already discovered. But workaround for landscape mode on ALL custom themes.

1. Change Wallpaper to something other than original wallpaper that came with custom theme.

2. App Screen > BB button

3. Options > Change layout to today > exit > save

4. BB button > Options > Change layout back to 2 row > exit > Save

5. rotate to landscape mode and viola it works.

If you like your custom theme wallpaper just ask the theme developer to upload the wallpaper for that theme and use the same steps above.

*Obviously change the wallpaper to the wallpaper provided to you by developer.

Very nice find!

This is actually a workaround not a fix. I think you'll find your problem comes back every time the phone resets. It's better than nothing but you'll have to do it after every batter pull or soft reset. If you can get any app to actually reset your phone that is

The stock Precision Zen theme is the only one where this doesn't seem to happen and this won't work for all themes.

Ok this is typical of BB OS. Any thought on
The panning bug in Gmaps?

Yeah I found this out last night and posted in a few threads...seems this is why there was so much conflicting info on whether or not the fixed work..you need to change the wallpaper.

I sometimes still get a glitch when going back to portrait with this fix....white bar at top and bottom.

Seems like a pretty simple and easy workaround....once a battery pull it takes about 5 seconds to change the layout, save, change it back, save.

Google maps works fine except when you get it OTA from google. There are links where you can OTA the correct touchscreen version, check 3rd party apps...I am downloading the newest version right now....

I only put fix because workaround is such a long word I didnt want the thread title to be very long. Anyways it works, glad people are enjoying their custom themes.

i've tried it with 3 themes now and you don't need that many steps. Just change to 1 row and back to 2 rows. You will have to do it again after a battery pull. Also this will update your beryweather icon.

Yeah this doesnt work for everyone. I MUST change my wallpaper. Just changing w/o wallpaper change doesnt work.

I had to change it to 3, then back out all the way to the home screen, then back in and change it to 2.
