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.

Are there any ways to install another lockscreen but not by using apps (making them native, I don't like the way it works in widgetlocker app). I have root, CWM and so on
To be honest I want puzzle lockscreen like it was in Vibrant.
*Ripple lock
it's on the marked and xda .

But unfortunately this is still an app superimposed to the original home screen or lock screen (which sometimes appears...)
Also the notification bar remains visible!
Original lock screen can't be actually replaced, but only hidden.

That's why I dont like those apps.
And why are there tons of lock screen in Vibrant Roms/i9000/Captivate and difficulties with i9100? What is the principal difference?

Besides home button unlocks the screen. Even with enabled and disabled notification bar.

+1 on that!! I hate the lockscreen so much, I'm using AntiLock to disable it. Apps like WidgetLocker or RippleLock are no proper alternatives because they either unlock with the home key, or have 5 seconds limitation, show the Samsung lockscreen underneath and such.
Just like you, I wonder what's taking devs so long to come up with alternatives. Why is it more challenging on this phone than others?
Guys,
I'm using WidgetLocker and enabled the Root Helper option, and also disabled the default Lock Screen. (In Advanced menu) and also checked Disallow WL suspend.
With these setting the defualt screenlock is only displayed for 1-2 sec when I restart the phone. but that's all.
Previously I also encountered the problem that I had to unlock the WL and then the stock one but now only WL is running.
I don't like lock screen in widgetlocker and in gingerbread itself. I like puzzle one or the one from ripple lock, but it doesnt work properly
Is this possible for a non coder?
Being forced to have the keyboard fullscreen - so that replying to responses, or even filling in say a CAPTCHA verfification form - is beyond tedious to me.
I've found a couple of aftermarket keyboards which have this option, but they have their own rather undesirable traits. I'd rather stick with the stock keyboard and non full screen.
I've researched this a fair bit and not really got anywhere apart from finding out that it's officially called 'extract mode'
Try turning auto-rotate off?

Don't see how that's helpfull...
You can choose to turn it on when needed and off when not, most ROMs have access to the setting from notifications?

Eh? What?!?
I don't want to turn autorotate on/off
I want to, (as per my original post), turn full screen keyboard in landscape off
Try "Total Screen Control"...
I got this autorotate problem before and now I can select which app can autorotate and which is not...
Keyboard Manager can help
keyboard manager may help u a little bit :https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ne0fhykLabs.android.utility.kmLauncher&hl=en
then u can use a keyboard like AI type ( it's completelty resizable , just make as small as u can ) and set it to the landscape keyboard in KM

I do NOT want to stop the screen rotating, I WANT landscape mode
What I DO NOT WANT is a full screen keyboard in landscape.
I don't know how many times I have to re-iterate that, or even why I should have to, please read all of the posts I've made in this thread.

unfortunately A.I. keyboard completely crashed my phone, 2nd attempt it seems at first glance to work OK, but the theme is pretty nasty.
Running beans19 and I wonder if there's an app or launcher or something that I could let an app work when phone is locked under pin or pattern.
I want the camera (just camera not gallery) to be able to open even if phone locked.
Is there a way to do it...??.. Btw I don't want to switch r0ms

Have you tried the app Widget Locker? It allows widgets to display on the Lock screen and has lots of options.

You can put any widget or icon you want on it. So, yes you can address camera icon. There's a free version, just give it a try.

On beans you can still use the tw shortcut on the lock screen (hold a finger on the lock screen and rotate the phone) this will launch the camera app. Although I'm not sure if it works with a lock code since I only have the swipe to unlock feature active.
No I'm not happy to see you, it's just a Note 2 in my pocket

This app sucks. I said I wanted to have a lock on phone like pin or pattern and still use camera without input of pin or pattern.

Actually, this might sound like a cheap way out, but it was pretty cool, there was an ios7 lockscreen app that worked really well (only thing was sometimes home button unlocked the phone) but you can slide up for camera without having to enter a pin. The app itself lets you enter a 4 digit pin with unlock automatically.
The reason for this, is, unlike ios, if you went to your camera app, and pressed the home key, you can bypass the security. An android limitation unfortunately. Ill try to find the play store link
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.appershopper.ios7lockscreen
PS- when it says accept or decline for the freeware app crap, just decline, still works anyway!

I like the app its perfect but you can unlock with home button like you said and when you take pic inside camera you can look at gallery.
Otherwise yes that's what I looking for but with more security.

Again, unfortunately its an android limitation if im not mistaken so theres no way around that. I would try that with some type of extra lockscreen security. Not many people would try pressing the home button though maybe, but then again I never usually lock my phone because its always in my pocket. And I watch anything I dont want to see in incognito mode
What I did in the past (for 10 minites experimenting) was that amd widget locker under that lockscreen, so after unlocking with that app, I would go into widgerlocker and my lockscreen was just a blank screen with the time. I downloaded a clear slider and put it in a small corner so that no one would know where to unlock my phone exept me really. But then again I never tried with the camera app so I couldn't tell you for sure.

The guy did update for the app and it says it fixes the home button unlock but it obviously didn't. I wish he makes it work somehow.

I was wondering when I dock my phone in, if there is a way to turn the lock screen to landscape mode. When I unlock it, the home screen is unlocked, but the lock screen isn't. just wanted to make it easier for me to read the time. Thanks
Play store. Force dock rotation

I'm just amazed this phone doesn't have that option built into the stock ROM. Especially since they sell a landscape magnetic official dock!
xposed module xblast also works. That's what I use m8:good:
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!
