[Q] Orientation lock on notification bar?

I watched the video of the 2.2 software for the galaxy s and noticed they had an "orientation lock" button in the quick launch buttons at the top of the notification bar. I absolutely hate the automatically switching orientation setting but there is definatly times i need to use the phone in landscape and its a pain to switch it. I am wondering if this is something that is possible to add to our current software? i searched but couldnt find anything for this for the vibrant.
anyone have any ideas how to implement this? or is it something that well just have to wait and see if its an option when we get 2.2.
thanks

Would be nice, and i like how the Euro is Vibrate rather than Silent. I could do away with the Bluetooth for a auto lock. Wish Cyanogne would pick that up.

Yeah, the rotation of Android pales compared to the iphone. It's always been disappointing to me.
Have you tried Curvefish's rotation widget in the market? It's free and a very nice looking 1x1 toggle switch.

Use switch pro widget.

The ability of accessing it in the notifications bar is what I want.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App

Download Quick Settings in the market. Basically it gives u the option to keep it in the notification bar and access the orientation change (and ever single other setting) with a swipe and 2 clicks.
I promise u will not find a more convenient solution. The app is definitely Top 10 in the entire market.

[Q] CM 10.1 lock screen question

Hello everyone,
I just started using CM 10.1 on SD card. Is there any way to stop the lock screen from rotating? I cannot seem to find an image that does not get distorted (stretched) when in landscape mode.
Thanks,
V

Don't know of a setting for lock screen only, but if you toggle screen rotation off, the lockscreen will not rotate either.

I hadn't thought of that, Thanks.
The thing is in regular use I rotate the screen lots.
Oh well life is imperfect.

Lock the screen orientation in Paranoid Android 3.15

Hey guys this is probably going to sound dumb, but how do I lock the screen orientation in PA 3.15? I've only been using it for a day and maybe I'm just blind but I can't seem to find it. I wanted to make sure it stays in portrait.

Settings>accessibility>uncheck auto rotate screen
You can also add shortcut to this to your quick settings in status bar

Ahh thanks! I thought that was what the 'lock screen' option was in the quick settings. What does 'lock screen' do then?

That enables/disables the password needed to unlock the phone

lock screen notifications!

Android lollipop has made notifications on lock screen.
But can i disable it for individual app. The Option to turn them off in settings also disables it it from the notification bar.
In my case, it is smart remote. It is on lock screen and pretty annoying.
I am using android 5.0 lollipop SM-N900 dr.ketan's rom

There is a way!
Remember... I´m on a Swedish phone and I don´t know whats the different tabs and apps are called in english.
Settings/Sounds and Notifications/Notifications(at the bottom of the page)... the same place where you set wich content is shown on the lockscreen. There´s a app-list where you can block apps from showing notifications...

No, you can't do that. I have wasted hours, couldn't find anything, because there isn't anything.
PS: There might be an app which does that, but not really into that.

Lock Screen Setting

Hello, quick tweek question:
I like the ZTE Locker feature with the random wallpapers. But, since the recent update, I notice a heart on the lock screen that pops up useless options for me when pressed. Is there a way to get rid of this completely (preferred), or change the options available when it';s pressed? Thanks for any info or suggestions!
