Force Auto rotate - Sony Xperia Z Ultra

Hi Guys.
There's a couple of apps that seem to come up as portrait even when my phone is on landscape.
Lock screen is one of them, also the phone app is on landscape but when I receive a call it goet to portrait.
Is there any way to fix this?
I've installed app settings, and forced auto rotate on phone, but still the same.
Maybe phone app is not the one used when on an actual call?
Any ideas?

Managed o do this with an Xposed module, but the phone app doesnt rotate well, and displays an error in the swipe to answer
Any ideas?

try the App Set Orientation from the Play Store.
Note: if an app forces you to landscape than it`s because the App doesnt support portrait.

Try rotation control by fame it. This app let's netflix rotate to portrait!

[Q] Enable default Android lock screen

Anyone know how to enable the default Android slider lock screen on the A101?
I too would like to know if this is possible
I think this is impossible
Archos propably has deleted this option in their android version.
but maybe there's an app that simulate the normal lock screen?
This could fix your problem
In the Market, there is an app for this (WidgetLocker). But it doesn't work on the Archos.
Try Lock Screen App from the android market or an internal feature "system settings -> location & security -> set unlock pattern"

Widgetlocker works on my A70IT. I'm using it right now.
How did you do that? When I install the app on my A70, there's no lockscreen. The screen's black, and the app has force closes. It says, the lock is activated, but ir doesn't work.
Could you say me, how I can make it working?

Sorry, I can't really help you with that, because mines worked perfectly from the start.
I bought it from the Android Market, and it installed and ran right from the start. You might have to reset your device, or you were low on System storage memory. I always try to keep mines at 90-110 mbs free.
In case you want to know, I'm running the stock rom from Archos. I recently updated it to 2.3.20, and it still runs fine.

Landscape Lock for Mini Pro

I've been looking for an app or way to lock the orientation of my Mini Pro in landscape mode even if the keyboard is not out, AND even if i have my phone standing in portrait.
i know there's an automatic orientation sensor that switches it to landscape if I tilt the phone, but I want the orientation to be ALWAYS in landscape.
any app? i would really appreciate it.
THANKS guys!
Use widgetlocker app..its perfect for locksreen in landscape or potrait mode.

thanks will check it.
UPDATE: unfortunately, its giving me forceclose errors when doing it in landscape. works fine online in portrait
installed custom ROM? adw has its that kind of option under system preferences.
adw can lock its landscape mode no problem, but only the homescreen. i want the LockScreen to be in permanent landscape too. I tried WidgetLocker for the Lock Screen but it works in portrait only and it forcecloses when i try it in landscape. weird.
i dont have custom rom. my phone is rooted though.

Is it possible to have the screen be always rotated horizontally whenever possible

With stock ICS, I am bad at typing messages with the vertical keyboard, so I always have to turn it first so that the large keyboard appears (and sometimes it takes a while for it to register). I was wondering if there is a setting for it to automatically always select the horizontal way whenever possible...or perhaps there is an app out there or a way for it to register much faster.
Use holo launcher hd plus or any launcher in the launcher settings there is always an option default orientation change it to landscape then u can have a permanent landscape view not sure abt the option being there in touchwiz havent used it in a long time

I use Set Orientation from gPlay, allows you to set (and force any app into, even it doesn't want to support) the orientation you want directly from the notification area.
Maybe that'll help you too.

Auto rotate screen

Does it really work only in landscape mode when locked? It seems like a bug.

Yes, unfortunately it is this way. A bug or at least badly programmed.
But you can (like me) use a 3rd party solution.
I have "Ultimate Rotation Control" which can reside in the notification panel.
Aside from being configurable, it even allows to force rotation, so that apps which normally only work in one direction can now be rotated. So it's a recommended bonus anyway.

Lockscreen in landscape mode

Has anyone figured out how to view the lockscreen in landscape mode. I tried a few screen rotation apps but no dice. Lockscreen always in portrait.
PS: Not interested in rooting my device.
Thanks.

Very old app (been using since Note 3 days), but it works - "Set Orientation". Not available in the play store anymore, so you would have to side load.

Maybe you're using different app. Mine works. And yes this is the lock screen.

I just found an apk for "set orientation". Tried every setting and none worked. Do you have a link?

Attached apk, but I tried rotating my lock screen without it installed & it worked. So you're right it probably a different issue.
My lock screen rotates to landscape so long as rotation is allowed in the settings/quick settings.
I know that you do not need any third party app because the only way that the face unlock will allow to unlock using your face is when the lock screen is in landscape mode.

Thanks. Thats the same app I had found. Still no dice. Lock screen still won't rotate. Its always in portrait mode until I unlock it. Btw I don't see the lock screen on the pictures you posted. Can you show me a picture of your lock screen in landscape mode with the fingerprint scanner on the right or left? Does it rotate too?
Thanks for the assistance

What my word isn't good enough!? Kidding
Pattern shows on screenshot, but finger print doesn't. Lock screen rotates 100% of the time with or without 3rd party app.

Lol. Yeah no offense. No matter what I do I can't get landscape mode on the lockscreen. I don't know what the hell is going on.
Your device OS is geared towards displaying everything in portrait mode and the only solution is to get a hold of a decent OS that isn't owned or runned by hipsters
Make sure auto rotation is enabled.
