Screen orientation/Icon theme/Transition effects/CPU options
- I'm sure these questions have been asked but I have not found the answers to them. I guess this is directed towards anyone with knowledge of builds later than .122.
First, will it be possible to lock the phone in portrait/landscape view, or will there be an option to set screen rotation as a convenience key? I realize the accelerometer is, besides the touch screen, a key factor to the phone, but I feel that the screen rotates far more frequently than I like it to (and still seems overly sensitive to me).
Second, Theme Builder currently only has options for creating a Zen theme or a Custom theme (which is a Today theme). Does anyone know if we will have the option to create an Icon theme in the future? Coming from the 8330, I always used an Icon theme. Part of the reason why locking the phone in either portrait/landscape makes sense to me is because, without the ability to create an Icon theme, I'm forced to have a Homescreen and an Applications Screen. The phone is sluggish in rotating between the Homescreen and the Applications Screen, and personally I have no need for two separate screens. I wish we could set the Applications Screen as default so that we never have to deal with the Homescreen.
Third, will future builds have an option to enable/disable screen transitions/effects? While they are pretty to look at for 5 minutes, I wonder if having them on slows the OS down at all (kind of like how it does in Windows - which is why there's an option to turn them off). I seem to remember that .90 had no fade effects and the phone switched screens/orientation faster because of it.
Lastly, will future builds allow throttling of the CPU? Other phones have this option and it's a nice feature to have, because sometimes you need the processor to be at max, but sometimes you need to save battery.04-09-09 03:55 PMLike 0 - i think the idea of locking the accelerometer is great. I know I have found myself lying in bed on my side typing when it rotates, that kinda angers me.. Wish I could either lock it or click a button to rotate it.. I know the LG Dare has a function similar to that. I bet its do-able!04-09-09 06:01 PMLike 0
