Is there anyway or any app to lock just the "phone screen" or phone dialer to portrait. I STFF and google and can not find anything.
I could not find anything either. Obviously the lock screen in settings locks it to landscape but so do the widgets and apps like the one from curvefish.
I really dont have trouble keeping it in portrait but I do agree and would like something that I can lock it there if I really wanted to.
following this guide will allow you to lock the phone in portrait http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1084850
as for the phone dialer, you can modify the manifest file in the app to only allow it to use portrait...unfortunately I'm still trying to figure out how to get the phone app to work after performing the modification.

I came looking for porn, didnt find it, but figured while I was here I could ask a question:
Let me first say I sync my phone to my works Exchange and they force some security settings on my phone, like the pincode to unlock the phone. On my Desire HD and GalaxyII I had WidgetLocker installed so I could control Spotify without unlocking the phone and typing the pin.
On the Razr it kinda looks like the standard lock screen would let me add widgets to it, but I cant figure out how so i started using WidgetLocker on this as well.
However, when I am in the widget locker screen and "slide to unlock" it just takes me to the standard "lock screen" and i must slide again and enter a pin code.
I assume WL have disabled the lock screen on the Desire and Galaxy, but cant on this?
Any ideas?
All i want is to be able to control Spotify without typing the pin and unlocking the phone, so if you have any other suggestion on how to get this done I would love you long time for it
Download the free app "no lock". It should take care of your issue. I use WL on my RAZR and have the No Lock app set to disable the stock lock screen. Works great.
I just downloaded these app and love how it makes the phone run and look. I have a rooted droid 2 but am not currently using the root for anything. I Have the GO locker app on here with a new lock screen an it almost works great. But every ones-in-a-while the old lock screen will pop up and then i will have to unlock that then the Go locker lock screen.
Any one els use this or know how to fix it. I'm willing to put a custom ROM on my phone but they all look like allot of work to get the same thing that Go launcher does?
Hey, if still unsolved, you can proceed by selecting "Go locker" as the default launcher !
I have one question about go locker, it looks great and works ok, but I can't find out how to change the default screen when someone is calling me. When the phone is locked and I receive the phonecall, it doesn't even show the screen where you have to slide to answer or decline the call, it just shows the default android screen for phonecalls as it would show if the phone was unlocked.
Notification pin
Hello,
Currently I am using Go launcher with Go locker. I have not found any problems recently and enjoy them very much.
However, I am having one annoying little problem and wonder if anyone could please help with this.
I cannot open anything from my notification bar without entering a pin first. Whether it be messaging, apps, or updates.
I briefly remember choosing this option in a menu, but not sure. I have checked system settings/security, GO locker setting/security, and GO launcher settings. I cannot find anywhere to disable this feature . PLEASE HELP AS THIS IS NOW A VERY ANNOYING PROBLEM. !!
Thank You.
I hope this is the correct place for this thread, my apologies if it is not.
After some searching i did not find anything.
I'm just wondering if there is currently an app out there that allows certain applications to use the rotation sensor on our phones, but not other applications.
For instance i like to text message in landscape mode sometimes but when i go to my home screen and tilt my phone at all, the home screen will go to landscape which i don't like because it takes a long time to switch back and forth between portrait and landscape and seems to be overly sensitive to the axis of my phone.
Does this application exist? If not, how hard would it be to create? i feel like i'm not the only person who would enjoy this application so any help would be wonderful.
I don't know if an app already exists specifically for your needs but your home launcher itself should have an option to turn off the screen rotation altogether without turning it off for everything else.

Yes i know about this feature. I'm looking for something for allowing it to switch for certain apps but not all. any idea how hard this would be to create?
Have you tried Smart Rotator? Seems like it may do what you want. Available in the Market.
Try this, maybe it'll help for what you need?

Ah! thank you very much macellaio, this seems to be EXACTLY what i was looking for, although it does seem to take up a good chunk of RAM (25MB) thank you very much. no clue why i couldn't find that.
On Widgetlocker, (or in any other launchers) I can make a shortcut button to make a post on Friendcaster. This lets me jump right into making a Facebook status without having to go into a program, and then hitting the update button. I had these shortcut links both on my home screen and on my lockscreen (so I wouldn't even have to unlock the phone... just just get an immediate pop up to type an update)
I like the ripple effect of the touchwiz lock screen, and I have some shortcuts set up there... but it seems that you can only give links to full apps, and not the 'shortcuts' that the launchers or other lockscreens allow. There is normally one called 'Post' ...but on the touchwiz one if just gives full app names. Anyone know a way around this? Thanks.
The lock screen is only coded to allow applications, rather than specific functions of applications.
So no.
Is there any easy way to disable having to input my lock screen pattern for when I'm driving?
I use my phone for music but I never have it docked, so I don't want the screen permanently on. It's just dangerous to have to do my pattern unlock whilst I'm driving. I'm using InDrive app to control PowerAmp but I want to be able to go straight to that by just pressing the awake button on my S3.
So is there anything that will easily allow me to disable this but won't stop the screen going off? Ideally a widget I can place on my home screen.

Well.. I never came across a widget or app like that but there is an option in my rom to disable lock screen. I think there will be an option on your device as well. Just turn it on and off whenever you need.

Cheers. If I go through the menu settings then I can disable lockscreen. It's a bit of a pain to do this every time I get in and out of the car though.
I just assumed this would be a common problem for people using their phone to play music in the car. Seems like it might not be!

Well yeah.. But you got few ops. Disable and enable from settings (lockscreen settings on my phone), or you can make a playlist of your music which will save you from touching your device while driving. Or you can copy your music to a usb drive and plug it to your car's audio system.. Or the most complicated but the most useful thing you can do us try making an app or a script will do the job of enabling/disabling the lockscreen everytime you run it. Well.. Thats something for devs and can be really complicated.. But worth trying..
If you're rooted you can install the xposed framework and per app DPI module, then set specific apps to show over the lock screen such as poweramp so its fully use able while the phone is locked
