Thanks for this, I had the same question...lol
Lock portrait with only ADW solved
You can lock it into portrait mode using only ADW, no external apps/widgets required.
I came across how somewhere here on XDA and reposted it here:

to do it in adw...
hold phone in portrait mode
menu --> adwsettings --> system preferences --> check system persistent
that does it for me.
only thing is when you reboot... need to go back in uncheck it, then hold in portrait rotation and go back and re-check it.
Im refering to the lock screen not the home scteen, i want the lock screen set to portrait.
ADW can kinda lock the home screen but not successfully between reboots
anyone figure this out on the stock official froyo? its really annoying that i can now have a fully portrait phone, with the exception of the lock screen.
Widget Locker. It's a paid app but it does the trick.
I found that the most recent version had some bugs with the Streak but if you email the developer he will organise to send you version 1.2.5 which works well with the Streak.
i got the widget launcher apk installed and configured. i guess it will do for now but it doesnt feel very native. every now and then the default android locker will flash for a second. i was hoping a setting in build.prop would have it.

Have you asked the developer to send you version 1.2.5? Like I said, the version on the market is buggy with the Streak but I had no problems at all with 1.2.5.

so widget locker latest version will rotate lockscreen and lock screen slider, please confirm, on official froyo? thanks..
yeah i had 1.2.5, it crashed on me several times so i just uninstalled it. widget locker doesnt really rotate it into portrait, it more replaces the lock screen with another program, that happens to be portrait only, that you can customize to look pretty close to stock. i think i might wait for a better solution.

You sure you haven't been using 1.2.8? 1.2.5 works perfectly for me to give me a lock screen in portrait.
What exactly do you want anyway? Do you just want the lock screen in portrait or the home screen? Or do you want a lock screen that actively rotate when you rotate the phone?
I installed screen suite locker to replace normal lockscreen but old lock screen kept coming up too, so I downloaded no lock to disable default lockscreen completly.
Works just how I wanted it portrait lock screen no default lockscreen

Ahh... I see! You want the stock lock screen in portrait. No, this cannot be done at this time.

Isn't there a setting in build.prop that will switch to portrait? i really want my Lock screen in portrait.
any news??
This great idea
Just download ultimate rotation control , enable pre app , set lockscreen orientation ( potrait ).
U also can use forced auto orientation for lockscreen, u can use your lockscreen in all orientation.:good::fingers-crossed:

or flash the portraitmode zipfile from the Manii, it should be there somewhere in the development section.
how can i lock down the home screen from rotating. I dont mind the pics and text messaging with the flipping but i dont want the home to rotate. I have tried the shake to flip thing but it is some weird...any way just to lock down the one screen?
are you using the stock sense launcher or a launcher from the market?
i have adw and i think i found a setting in it...i thought i had looked everywhere
Yeah, theres a setting in ADW. its in like UI settings / screen preferences /home orientation i think.
I have 2 questions that despite a lot of searching has not yielded anything, and I just want to find out if I need to stop looking:
1. I like to open the camera app when double-tapping the home button. I can't find any setting in CM9 that would allow me the same thing - am I missing this?
2. Is there a setting somewhere that would change the screen rotation delay? I type texts horizontal screen and the wait for the screen to respond and rotate after I turned the phone sideways, is annoying. It would be much nicer if the screen rotated immediately when I rotate the phone, synchronously. I notice in the CM9 camera app, this rotation is much snappier, so it seems possible.
I can suggest this on your first question. I use Apex Launcher, and it's configurable right in behavior settings.

Thanks, I also found that item after I installed Apex last night. In other android OS's, this is a setting which is independent of the launcher.
Can anybody tell me a landscape rotation app that is compatible with the note 3 touchwiz. Because in home screen when in forced landscape mode using apps from playstore, the proportion is bugged.

Oh thank gawd! I'm not the only one! I too am having this issue (tmus) and posted that question today there:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2590080
Basically I was using "Ultimate Rotation Control" and it works great on all my previous galaxies but on the Note 3 it looks like the icon and widgets are trying to stay in a forced portrait mode. However my background image looks fine, go figure.
However you can change your launcher to GoLauncher and that should work for you just fine. I prefer GoLauncher myself because it has a calendar widget that none of the other launchers seem to have.
Hopefully the makers of URC fix their app because its not working now.
Not to my knowledge.
If you change to Apex, Nova or another launcher, though, you'll have that as an option amongst plenty of others... Not to mention less resource usages.
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.
Sorry for posting in the wrong forum early.
