I tried a couple force rotation apps (Ultimate Rotation and Rotation Manager). When the home screens & lock screen rotate, neither of them do it right. The icons/ folder are placed off the screen. Anyone get something to work? I'd prefer to stay on Touchwiz, because I really like the calendar widget.

Hi, you'll need to install Xposed framework and get a module called Gravity Box or Xblast. both can force rotation with stock, They both do an awful lot more too, little tweaks for your phone.
You can rotate the launcher with a lot off apps but it wont look good cause the launcher is not made for landscape. If you have root you can try a modded one or do it by yourself. You have to change a lot of xml files.

i'm having troubles with the lock screen...the QQ Launcher Lockscreen works perfectly, but my default lockscreen runs together with it. Any way i could disable the default lockscreen and use only QQ's Lock?! Thanks!

Does Settings --> Cyanogenmod settings --> Tablet Tweaks --> Disable lockscreen work for you?

i'm using a plain android rom...somehow the "disable lockscreen" option didn't worked, and may of the apps for doing it neither...but i've found one that works (No Lock). It was the only one that really worked no my xperia x10i.
But thank for the tip Spyder!

great launcher, i'm using it right now... gonna stay some time on my phone.
one thing about lockscreen... i disable lockscreen in cyanogenmod settings, and it's working ok. but... when i hit power button, the lockscreen stays on for 30 seconds (just like screen timeout time). the default one is on for 5 sec.
... and that's the only problem i have, if i can call it one.
screenshots???
no screenshot?
Auto Rotate Screen?
I just installed this launcher and have been enjoying it a lot so far. I have noticed though that when I slide my phone open the screen does not rotate to the landscape view. I went into Settings/Display and made sure that Auto-Rotate Sceen was checked, but that doesn't fix the problem. Can anyone help me out?
if you had some screen shots would be perfect. thx anyway!
I'm having the same prob with lack of auto-rotate, doesn't even go to landscape once the keyboard is slid out....is this a portrait-only launcher? HELP!
><
Its simular to MiUi Launcher. It works btw but at start you may get a FC. Its fast its got style. Oh and it has a lockscreen inside. Greatest launcher ever.
Its already v2.2 now.
like it but....
I like this launcher but regrettably I switched back to GO because of the FC problem (even did a hard reset and redo all apps installation and configuration still same problem... **sigh**)... hopefully they could fix the bug cause I really like the responsiveness and simplicity of it... btw, it has the most responsive lock screen I have used...
I know Nova can rotate the homescreen but it stretches the widgets out and cuts them off, etc.. so it looks horrible.
Are there any other better solutions for a landscape homescreen?
thanks
Google Now Launcher + Xposed + Xposed GEL Settings modules will do landscape very gracefully.
Smart Launcher is what i use when I want landscape. Kind of a unique launcher, on the home screen, plus it breaks the app drawer into categories.

Thanks YrrchSebor,
Yea i was considering Smart Launcher but I am still on the fence whether I like the layout.. I am not sure I want to be limited on the amount of direct access icons i can place on the homescreen.
UPDATE: I am actually now using Smart Launcher for just a landscape homescreen when i want it. and the stock launcher for everything else.. its working out perfectly this way. i just placed a shortcut for smart launcher on my Stock homescreen, so i can switch back and forth between launcher homescreens with a single tap. I am using the Smart Launcher kind of like a Car Mode almost.. as I use my phone in landscape in the car holder... this setup is working out very nice so far..
I'm pretty certain its using the stock AOSP lock screen, but the enable widgets option and add widgets screen are missing. If I long press on the one widget that's there (Lenovo's clock widget), the arrange widgets screen or whatever its called comes up, but there's only one widget on it (the clock) and no plus button. Is there any way I can force enable this? Something in build.prop, or maybe an xposed module (I have xposed framework installed)? This isn't a huge issue, the music and alarm widgets show up when their associated apps are being used, but it would be nice to replace the music and clock widgets with CyanogenMod cLock and Apollo (I copied the APKs off of another tablet running CM11 from /system/apps and installed them on the Lenovo, they work great so far even though its running the stock ROM), or be able to swipe through my emails and calendar events without unlocking the screen. I won't bother asking for a Cyanogen lock screen apk to replace the stock lock screen, since I searched through the system files and Google and can't find evidence that such a thing exists, but it would be awesome if it was floating around somewhere.
Has anyone else been experiencing issues with the Samsung themes not applying to their lock screen?
I apply the theme of choice (tried several) through the Samsung themes settings/app. The theme changes on the pull down menu, messages app, etc. but does not change the lock screen clock or music player controls. Some online research says others are experiencing the same thing. Has anyone here been having this issue and/or found a solution?
Thank you for your time!

Thank you for the reply!
AOD is on, but with a custom image (my signature).
Full setup is:
Nova launcher with icon pack
Custom wallpaper on home and lock screen
AOD on with custom image
Theme applied (should be changing clock and look of clock on lock screen but is not)
Thanks again!

I'll bet it's because of Nova Launcher and not using TW, just a thought..

If you apply a custom wallpaper to both home and lock screen it erases the theme home and lock screen images. I am using Nova and have no issues. Sometimes I just use a custom home and leave the stock lock screen from the Samsung theme.
The clock on the lock screen changes but my Pandora music player remains the same.
I had that issue with the batman theme. the AOD theme option would be there after i applied the theme but if i changed the AOD to a different design, the option for the one that comes with theme would disappear. only fix would be to re apply theme
This works for me as well, but oddly enough, when setting a live wallpaper (just for home screen), the clock goes back to stock.
So frustrating.
Hi guys! Is it possible to hide the clock from the lockscreen on a non-rooted device? Thanks!
Install "good lock" utility and then "lock star" module. you can hide whatever you want from lockscreen.
I am using a tablet. Good lock doesn't seem to work in album mode, doesn't really override the stock lockscreen (first I see my stock loscksreen and only after that Good Lock is loading) and I can't find the lock star module.
I have Galaxy Tab S3 and S4, currently S3 is on Android P and S4 on Q. I have downloaded "Fine lock" app. Downloaded all modules via this app(as it takes you the the compatible version of Android and module) and they are working fine. Howeever, "the latest version of lockstar" having some issue with Android Q, so I installed one step version version. And it is working as it supposed to be.
OK, I downloaded Fine Lock and managed to get it working, clean locking LockScreen as I wanted, but now I have an issue with wallpapers. Fine Lock's styles only support Portrait oriented wallpapers, and I am using my tablet mostly in album mode. Any suggestions how to get horizontal wallpaper display correctly on lockscreen in album mode?

I do not know which version of Android you are on. But On my S4 with Android Q, I can choose any wallper with "LockStar" and it works fine. . You can activate autorotate and it will turn automatically.Or just Turn your wallparer to lanscape orientation with Gallary app or any other photo editing app. and apply it.
