[android-developers] How to allow Landscape mode on Transparent / Translucent Activities?

Suppose I have an Activity that uses the transparent theme:
android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Translucent" in the
AndroidManifest.xml.

When my Activity is launched from the Home Screen, most commercial
phones will lock it to Portrait mode only. This is probably because
the Home Screen only runs in Portrait mode, and applying the
Translucent theme to my Activity makes it also lock to Portrait mode.

But I would like to run my Activity in Landscape mode as well. Is this
possible?

For example, is there a way to dynamically remove the Translucent flag
when a landscape orientation change is detected?
