I'd like to know if this is possible too.

Set Orientation https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.googlecode.eyesfree.setorientation

Pull down the notification bar and press the screen with spinning arrows icon, it will change to a padlock once it's pressed.

I have my DPI set to 160 which puts it in tablet mode, and still the lockscreen is only in portrait. I don't want an app that locks the orientation because I'm still about 50/50 on using portrait and landscape.

The Set Orientation app lets you set it to auto, the lockscreen will rotate with the tablet.

This does work. However I use widgetsoid in the notifications drawer, and with screen krien. enabled, I can't adjust brightness. Just and fyi, but figured someone else must use this combo as well. The screen orien. also makes some apps tough to use in landscape, such as songza.

if you have root, add this to your build.prop file in /system/build.prop/ and reboot.. launcher.force_enable_rotation=true

You could also flash a ROM like Paranoid Android which gives you control over what interface each app uses like phone, phablet, and tablet. This is probably not the solution you were looking for, but you did say any way to make the lock screen rotatable.

Working great, thanks. Is there a way to hide the icon in the notification bar?

Tap and hold the notification, go to App Info and uncheck "Show notifications"

Thanks for the info, but after some days I have uninstalled the app as it has been the reason for short screen-freezes every x seconds which was kind of annoying.

CM10 supports lock screen rotation.

Ultimate Rotation Control.
I use Ultimate Rotation Control. It rotates everything, including the lockscreen, & has different settings.

(Q) Changing lock screen text

Is there a way to change the life companion text?

Yes. It is in the lock screen settings.

Here's a easier way. On the lock screen that's a widget you can grab the bottom of it and you will see a edit button. I deleted the text. Their is just the clock widget as well from the locksceen settings but I like the clocks position better with the text but deleted the text.

Note 3 Widgetlocker problem

Having a problem with Widgetlocker on my Note 3...
Installed Widgetlocker via direct purchase from teslacoilsw.com. Software is installed & basically 'works', but I'm unable to pull up the Add menu via long press. Tool mode and/or lockscreen...neither pull up the Add menu. What's strange is I get some haptic feedback during long press in tool mode and if I tap around a bit & can get random stuff to happen (like adding an app shortcut to the screen). It's like the menu is 'there' but it's not visible or something. Any suggestions?

Reinstalled & all's good now...nm. (mods, delete post if needed)
~thx

Hi,having the same problem...for my case if you used custom wallpaper then the add menu is like hidden behind the wallpaper,maybe you need to check using custom wallpaper first

Sent the dev an email and he's looking into it. I found that using an alternate wallpaper doesn't do good either.

I live in Canada and have the n900 model and I am unable to use widgetlocker any longer due to the playstore saying its no longer compatible with this device.

Would love to be able to send the developer and email. After figuring a way to install on the Note 3, since it shows unavailable for Note 3 on "play" - now I have the pull down notification bar sitting "behind" whatever I add to my Widgetlocker screen...making the pull down virtually unusable...maybe if you could tell me how to submit this to developer...?

On the play store I believe there is a link. As a work around I hide the notification bar and use Dashclock. I also think the dev just became a "daddy" so we may have to wait a bit.

I was wondering how you could hide the lockscreen notification bar.
I am using nova launcher prime and that easily lets me hide the homescreen notification bar but I couldn't figure out how to disable it on lockscreen.

Well you can hide it with Widgetlocker. Just check the settings.

Is there any way to get viper mod or lmt launcher to stay out of notification bar

Every time I restart the phone they come back and I go to app info and they are unchecked. So I have to check them on then off again..

You can install xposed framework and the notify clean module to get rid of them. That's what I use along with a lot of other people.

So I'm not doing anything wrong just have to use a work around app. Thanks

For LMT, you can also long press on the notification in the notification panel and select app info - when the LMT info page pops up, uncheck notifications or if it is not checked, check it and then uncheck it and you will get a popup saying you won't get notifications - click ok and close. You do have to do this everytime you reboot your device tho.

download 'notificationsoff' from the play store. icon is a green square with some lines in it...just in case u have issues finding it. lets u turn off notifications for any apps u chose whether they r user apps or system.

Unlocking phone brings me random apps

Okay so recently upon unlocking my phone instead of going to the home screen the first thing will be a random app -- sometimes the browser, sometimes Twitter ,sometimes another app, any thoughts?

Are you using the Samsung way to lock your phone ? With the power button ? Don't you use any third-party app to lock it ?

is it possible your launcher crashed/closed?
it sounds very much like the behavior of Android when there's no launcher app running in the background, and can be replicated by updating your launcher through the play store.
