ShoStock3 StriaghtTalk GS2 new issue with rotate - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777

Hello all,
Yes i did search for this problem and no i am not allowed to post in that section yet (enter flaming here) Lol
Ok so i put ShoStock3 on last night and all works great. Just today i noticed that i do not have auto rotate on home screens only. It rotates in menus and apps but not on the home screen like it does in the video. Did i break my flash? lol Any ideas? I have not seen anything in the forums about this. Not even rotate being disabled in rom for now till the other issues are resolved.
Thanks
JP

Check your launcher settings; sometimes they have rotation toggles as well.

No rotating to landscape mode

When ever I turn my phone horizontally while on the homescreens it doesn't turn into landscape mode (I already made sure that in settings-display the "auto-rotate screen" option is marked). The weird thing is that is does auto-rotate if I'm not on the home screens (say, if I'm on the web, or checking out a photo, or on the market, etc).
Any thoughts?
double post
The launcher is not compatible with landscape, would be my first thought. Try a different launcher (Go Launcher rotates, if set to do so in its own preferences).
Silly me. I had selected the option on the SGS2's settings but not on the launcher. Thanks! Everything is working now.

Are you using TouchWiz? I don't use it myself, and I'm just curious for future reference.

I found a workaround, disable all the functions that make show the bar over the keyboard, this solve the problem.
I don't know wich one make the stragne think, we must try one at time to check...

I was facing the same problem, but the 12/08 updzte fixed this issue, the closing screen issue is also solved
I had the same problem with even the latest update 20130123. Jeez it was anoyin! But after reding scionns workaround, it works like a charm. A proper fix for this issue on then other hand would be prefered - someone might wanna use all the options that had to be shut off to work.

go to settings -> language & input then click on settings icon next to Android Keyboard (AOSP)
under text correction, set 'auto-correction' to 'off' and set 'show correction options' to 'always hide'.
Worked like a charm!

I am having this keyboard issue and have tried the workarounds and resets, rebuilds, formatting and starting again but nothing works.
However I only started getting the problem a few nightly builds ago. I am currently on 10.1-20130901-NIGHTLY-p4.
I have gapps-jb-20130812-signed.zip also installed.
Also a question for the OP, how have you managed to get your Tab in Tablet UI mode? This is something else I have failed to achieve with my P7500.

At least on the cm 10.2 roms the option to enable Tablet UI is under Settings -> Display -> Statusbar(?). I am not 100% sure about the Statusbar, it might be a different option but it was somewhere in there.
I fixed the issue without disabling any features. Just went to android keyboard settings -> add-on dictionaries
There I uninstalled English, clicked on refresh and installed English (US) (it doesnt appear without clicking refresh on right upper corner)
I hope it gets fixed soon
Excellent fix - Works well
The keyboard works well with the workaround of turning off the Auto-correction and the hide show keyboard features. It makes the onscreen keyboard usable with v4.2.2 on a tab 10.1.
TY, but...
Thanks, turned off auto correction. However I'd like to use auto correction so does anyone know of a working fix? I use English UK, but will use English US if have to.
The other night I went to my son-in-laws house, and he was having this issue with his tab 10.1, I installed swiftkey trial keyboard and it works well. This has to be a bug in the rom software that is NOT fixed. BTW, he has a wifi version, p7510 I think. I will subscribe to follow any further info.

[Q] transition effect when going home in cm10.1

When exiting an app via the home button on CyanogenMod 10.1 (galaxy s3) there is a transition effect (where the home screen flies up from under the open app instead of the app fading away to reveal the home screen as has been the case since I have been using cm) that I don't seem to be able to disable.
Is this now part of the cyanogenmod rom? Or is there some way to turn it off?

That is part of android 4.2, you can't disable that sole animation. You can disable all animations if you like (somewhere under development options).

Hmm... before I flashed cyanogenmod my phone didn't do this. I have an nexus 4 running 4.2.2 and now running cm 10.1. I noticed the transition and don't like it and am trying to change it. I wouldn't have noticed if my phone had always done this....
fix!

[Q] Screen size issue

Running themer on my stock G2. I really like it but have an issue when often upon waking up the phone, the icons are shifted down and off the screen a bit. This ususally corrects itself after a while. Any suggestions on how to fix this? Sorry for the links not working, apparently I haven't posted on the forums enough. Thanks.

Is the issue just with Icons or does it happen to the widgets as well?
Do the themes you use have the status bar locked in place, or is it hidden until you slide down to display it?
I have yet to see this on any of our test phones.

It happens with the status bar shown or auto hidden. I've attached a couple of more photos of similar issues using other themes. In the one with the white back ground, check out the clock hands. It seems that it may be related to wake up? After I unlock and my home screen appears, the home buttons kind of slide up from the bottom. You can actually see the screen sort of adjust after the home buttons slide up. Sorry again for the links not working directly from the message. The forum won't let me post links just yet since I haven't made enough posts.

Ahhhh... those shots were helpful, but you mentioning the fact that the bar slides up from the bottom is really interesting and may just be the cause of this issue. We unfortunately do not have a G2 in the office to test this on.
Here is what I am thinking. If I run my N5 with a Paranoid Android Rom, or any other that allows me to remove the software navigation keys and replace it with the ring navigation, the aspect of the screen;s drawable area changes as far as Themer is concerned. In essence it makes my N5 a GS4 or HTC1 to Themer.
What I think may be happening on your device is very similar. I believe when you unlock the phone the aspect ratio of the draw-able area on the screen, may be reporting back to themer as larger than it really is, then the software keys finally slide into place and Themer takes a few seconds to realize the it.
Ill bring this to the attention of our Devs and see what they think.

Just a little more information. I think what you describe happening is correct. I was playing around with "Blades" set as my theme. After I unlock (pattern) the home buttons slide up and you can sort of see the main background adjust to the new screen size. It just looks like the widget parts don't adjust. If I long press and then change the default home screen to 1 and apply, it reloads the theme and everything looks OK and everything is in place.
I also noticed, if I sleep the phone with an app open, like the browser, it wakes to that app. The home buttons still slide up upon waking but when I return to my homescreen everything looks to be in place.
I hope this helps you guys troubleshoot. Other than this small issue, I love themer! Thanks! Let me know if there is any other information I can provide to help you sort this out.

			
				
Same issue on LG 4x HD... i hope the devs solve this problem, cuz it's really great app, a way better than buzz launcher. Keep the good work guys. Issue seems to be like some incorrect columns vs. rows settings or maybe just the resolution 1280x720is not supported ?

For all of you still having issues with the LG device.
We have a work around for you.
This is NOT a fix from our end ... yet, but it will resolve the issue on your device.
The fix is pretty simple, you have two choice.
One, turn off your lockscreen on your device.
If this is not an option for you due to security concerns, then you can simply install an alternate lockscreen app from the market.
The LG lockscreen on these devices is the culprit, disabling/replacing it will fix this issue.

Home Screen and App Drawer Auto Rotate?

Dies anyone know of there is a native option to have the home screens and App drawer rotate (to landscape). I checked the auto rotate option in settings but home screens and App drawer are fixed in portrait mode (settings screen and others do rotate). I had this feature on my g2 and wondering if they removed it. Thanks
I would also like to know if there is a way to get the launcher to rotate. I normally use Nova Launcher but I'm kind of fond of the LG G3's launcher minus this little issue. I'm rooted and have tried various options with G3 Tweaksbox and Gravitybox to no avail, also unlocked the hidden Home menu and found a couple of promising options, but nothing seems to apply. I supposed a rotation app might work, but I'd prefer not to run one.

Ok, I figured it out by accident. You need to enable hidden launcher settings using G3 Tweaksbox. Then go into the hidden settings and do the following:
(note these are both towards the end of the options)
UNCHECK the following "FEATURE_USE_PORTAIT_ONLY"
CHECK the following "FEATURE_USE_SYSTEM_ORIENTATION_CHANGE"
There are others that seem to be related to auto rotation, but I made the above changes and everything seems to be working fine except the stock 5x2 weather widget w time which won't load when rotating the screen to landscape. All others seem fine.
Sweet, thanks for posting this. I had the first one unchecked but hadn't done anything to the second one. Now, I'm rotating how I choose!

At first i was using save options in the 3rd tab but that did not nothing accept reset my homescreens so dont do that. All you have to do is make your changes and hit the home button.
Btw unrelated but figure I'd share. After swearing I'd stay with the stock launcher I moved to nova prime. The auto rotate feature is an option plus the smoothness cant be matched by stock. I also replicated everything to match what i had on the stock launcher. Oh and the replicated version of the 5x2 weather widget i mentioned rotates fine with nova.

Yep, reset my homescreen setup. Ouch!!!!
I'll stick to stock. I don't the stock widget. I use Weatherbug Elite, since Blackberry Storm days....
I don't have any lag. I froze almost everything. I'm good. Just like the rotate because I use the phone horizontally in the car.
Thanks

Did you follow any specific list to freeze? I froze a ton but feel theres more. Just being lazy and dont want deal with the consequences if i freeze something i shouldn't.
Noob Question
Noob question but after turning the hidden settings on in Tweaksbox, I cant find the hidden settings!
Where are the hidden settings?
I was excited because I really want the homescreen to be able to rotate to landscape, but I can't seem to find the hidden settings you talk of. Are they still in the G3 Tweaksbox app or somewhere else? When I check the "Enable LG launchers hidden settings" I get the checkbox, but nothing else happens, even after I reboot. What am I missing?
I'm on a LG G2 with the CloudyG3 port installed

for the g 3 at least it's located under the home screen settings on the settings at the bottom.
The two settings mentioned worked perfectly for me. Many thanks, rotation locker also worked but this is better since it sticks each boot.
Is there a guide anywhere that details what each of the settings in this hidden menu does?

I have searched but haven't been able to find anything. If anyone knows, I'd be very interested in this also.
My G3 was doing this yesterday. Put it on safe mode and auto rotate started working again. Restarted the phone and now it works fine. Go figure. Software bug.
It's been about ten minutes and so far so good. I have a Sprint G3.
