Hi guys, I was just wondering if there was a way to make the lockscreen stop auto-rotating? I know this is a feature in most ROMs, its just it feels real weird when I open my Portenzo case and the lock screen is off. I still would like the launcher to rotate, just not the lock screen.
I'm running ParanoidAndroid 1.98
Thanks:laugh:
Of course there is! Just swipe down from the top of the screen to bring up the notification tab. Then up the top of that you click the icon to the left of the settings button - its is an icon that looks like a device with two rotating arrows either side of it. This will toggle the lock on and off.

Heh, that disables rotation for everything. I'm looking for something that disables rotation for JUST the lock screen.
Weird, my lock screen has always been portrait-only on my N7, even though I have rotation turned on generally. On my Transformer TF101 on ICS, it rotates and drives me nuts.

Same here.
I found a build.prop edit that could rotate the home screen but not the lock screen. I'd like to get my lock screen to rotate so please, OP, let us know how you got yours to do so. What ROM are you running?

I'm running stock, no rooted. I'm using Ultimate Rotation Control, it's free in GP.
It rotate home screen and locked screen too. Or you can set it alway locked in portrait or landscape. Very awesome app.

What setting are you using to allow the "Lock Screen" to rotate with this app. I see no such setting even with the Paid version.

I've tried those settings... everything works fine, just the lock screen does not rotate.
Ultimate Rotation Control had an update (mine was yesterday) which allows for Lock Screen rotation. If you have the app installed, just update it and it will work.
Funny, it just updated. Works.
does ultimate rotation control still cause lag on the tablet? does it take the home screen a while to refresh when you rotate the tablet? i tried it a few weeks ago but used to find when i rotated the homescreen it would take a second or two for it to redraw and prior to that it would cause video to stutter when playing

My lockscreen started auto-rotating when i first flashed the BAMF ROM. I have moved on to ParanoidAndroid ROM but the rotate feature stayed
Running PA 1.98 in tablet small mode with apex and it rotates the lockscreen/homescreen natively without the need for any apps. It could be related to what mode you're running.
Ultimate Rotation Control is really cool! I've now got my lock screen forced to landscape, and my home screen rotates. Very cool. This was really the last piece to keep me on the Phablet UI instead of needing to root and change to the Tablet UI. I really like the pull down notifications and the centered soft buttons, I've grown to love them better than the honeycomb/ICS Tablet UI style.
Ultimate Rotation Control is cool, but it's always sitting in the background. Kinda extreme for such a simple task. Plus it doesn't really fix the problem. When I open my smart cover, if the lockscreen is in landscape, it forces it to portrait... which sounds ok but it shouldn't even be in landscape to begin with. So you're having to wait for it to do it's thing STILL before you can unlock it.
Ultimate Rotation Control DOES force the lockscreen to Portrait, but there is still a rotation delay there.
I'm looking for a way when I open my tab, it is just always in portrait and I can unlock without hesitating. At this point it seems a lockscreen replacement such as WidgetLocker or just disable the security screen altogether.
Anyone else know of a simpler method? Maybe a stock lockscreen replacement apk file that is forced to landscape. My phone is always locked to portrait but my tabs freely rotate.

I'm on latest version5.7.7 of Ultimate Rotation Control with annoying Unlock screen rotation issue. I lock the screen. The screen is off. I put phone in pocket. I pull my phone off from pocket and press power button. The screen is on but THE UNLOCK THING JUMPS FROM PORTRAIT TO LANDSCAPE. How to solve this? .

It can easily be remedied by using a custom lockscreen.

Screen resolution issue??? WTF. The screen resolution on the Note is one of the main reasons people buy it because it is the best available.
I have the EXACT same problem, only the opposite. Not long ago I made a forum with regards to this problem but unfortunately there was no reply...
I have this strange issue that when closing a game or video for example or simply by turning off and on again the screen wallpaper seems to have zoomed in like crazy (200%) and it appears smeary/blocky...
It's really pissing me off I've still not been able to solve this problem.

This must be an individual problem. For if the Note was faulty as described then why isn't it a problem for every Note user?

his note bugged out and cranked up the resolution, end result being that his icons look smaller and the grid is messed up.

Here is my wallpaper issue, kinda like the opposite to the ops...
The first picture is how it looks normally and the other 2 is after, one is in landscape and one is in portrait view.
When I tilt my screen from portrait to landscape that's when it screws up my wallpaper.
Otherwise if I turn my phone off then on it will start up just like you will see in pictures 2 & 3.
The ONLY way to correct it is to switch launcher to the default touchwiz and then back to the launcher that had the stretched/zoomed in wallpaper.
This problem does NOT occur in touchwiz but pretty much EVERY other launcher has the same problem, 3 launchers including ADW, Go Launcher & even Launcher Pro all give me the same issue.
Enough talking from me. Here are some screens of my strange issue. Look carefully at screens 2 & 3 as they are zoomed in and quality is bad.
Screen 1 is how it should look!

@kanej2006, hmm, not too sure, havent had that issue before, been using SPB launcher 3d for a while now as well.
just tried swapping SPB to landscape mode. it screws up the background whilst its in landscape mode (stretches/zooms image), but the lockscreen image is fine in portrait mode (ie. the way the picture is meant to look).
i normally just use my phone in portrait mode anyway, but have you tried seeing if theres an app or mod that would make the lockscreen appear in landscape mode instead? that way it will minimise bg image distortion? (im a nubb with modding)
This is interesting. Wonder if we abuse this "bug" and can change DPI dynamically depending on the app.

Hmm, no I have not tried an app that keeps the homescreen in landscape mode.
I was actually thinking of trying an app that LOCKS the homescreen, to keep it in portrait mode. This way it might not stretch/zoom.
This problem happened with most launchers, with touchwiz it never happened.
Any good apps to lock the homescreen? Thanks.

have you tried pulling down the notification bar and disabling 'auto-rotate' and seeing if that fixes your dilemma?

I've tried this but the problem when disabling 'auto-rotate' in the pull down notification bar is that when going through photos or browsing the internet the screen is stuck on portrait mode. There are times when I need to switch to landscape mode.
What would be useful to try would be to somehow lock ONLY the homescreen to portrait but not the rest of the menu. This may work but I'm unsure how to lock the homescreen only.
Guys I'd just like to say I've finally fixed my strange problem with the wallpaper stretching by iteself or when rotating the screen it would change and zoom in resulting in a bad quality image.
The one and only magical app called Wizardrii, wicked app & a life saver.
I simply downloaded & installed the app, ran it and when selecting my wallpaper I select 'scale image' which will then set your desired wallpaper in fullscreen mode and even when switching from portrait to landcape the wallpaper would remain unchanged, just what I wanted!
Just picked up a 2012 Nexus for $150. When I first got it, I believe I was able to go into landscape mode and lock it down - so no matter how i spun the device, it would remain in landscape. I can't seem to lock it down anymore; it will rotate but not stay locked. I upgraded OS the other day to 4.3 - only have had the device about 2 weeks. I swear it was working before. One thing I know has changed is my notification shade no longer shows the rotation icon; it did before. However, I seem to recall I had to do something special to lock it down to remain in landscape. Getting old....can't remember a thing anymore.
I really don't want to use an app just to do something so simple. What gives???
Nexus 7 (2012) updated to 4.3 here — Auto Rotate toggle present and functional in the settings shade so it should be there and you should be able to lock rotation in landscape/portrait. Unless any brighter suggestions present themselves, have you considered a Factory Reset?

I was going to root my Nexus anyway so maybe I'll just go ahead and do the the reset that way. Just a question though ....
When you say 'settings' shade did you mean 'notifications' shade?
I can enable rotation via checking the box in Settings->Accessibilty.....but I lost the rotate option in the 'notification' shade.
Thanks
I'm not sure what the proper nomenclature is but the Notification Shade is pulled down from the left-ward half of the top screen edge and the Settings Shade is pulled down from the right-ward half where the Wifi strength, battery level and time live.

The 'notifications' shade is what pops up, as you say on the upper left, whenever something happens. Like on my phone (S2) - I'll swipe down on that shade I can do all sorts of things - turn off volume, wifi etc - now maybe that is because I am running a custom ROM. In any event....I did the factory reset and have the same issue. The Setting->Accessibility allows rotation of screen from portrait to landscape but my 'notification' shade is blank on top - no icons at all.
Question - when you want to lock in landscape - what do you do? Do you do it through the pull down 'notification' shade and the icon that you see on the top or do you - do it through the 'settings' menu?
By the way - are you running 4.3? I am - I swear I had it locked down before but maybe I am dreaming.....thanks for help. Peter

Sorry - I see you already said you were on 4.3!!
But it would be helpful to know how you 'lock' landscape - that way I know for sure - if I am missing some icon or not.

I think you have your answer. I'm running factory pure 4.3 — all the
settings shortcuts and toggles are in a separate right shade (Brightness, Volume, Wifi, Auto Rotate, etc.). Perhaps you should revert to a less custom ROM (or one that has quick Auto Rotate access) if you want that feature.

No - I guess I wasn't clear.....the custom ROM was just a reference to my phone. I too am running pure google. I got the device about 10 days ago and then I got the notice to upgrade to 4.3 - I went ahead and that is when I lost the ability to lock my screen into landscape. I have since - based on your advice - done a factory reset - which was logical and not an issue - but still nothing. No way to lock my screen.
You have been very patient but can you tell me - when you 'lock' your display into landscape, do you do it by touching an icon - present on your 'notification' shade or do you go through the 'setting' menu and check a box or something? It would really help - I normally blame myself for stuff - but I just don't see how I can lock my screen using my 'pure 4.3' experience.
Thanks

I lock my rotation with a button (technically a toggle) called AUTO ROTATE in my settings shade which you seem to have lost — it was there in 4.2 and unchanged in 4.3. Since you've gone this far, and want to root anyway, you might want to flash a fresh factory image of 4.3.

Thanks for your help. At this point - I don't want to root it because - should I need to return it - don't want to have to worry about it.
I don't have a shade at all for my settings. Just the notification shade which remains empty. I can allow rotation by 'checking the box' after navigating through the Settings icon to Accessibility but nothing appears that specifies the ability to 'lock' the screen.
Guess I'll just wait to see if someone else has a similar issue - I suppose I can download an app but I hate adding junk that I should not need. Really appreciate your help....patience is a virtue
You're welcome, I had time to kill
As a native workaround, you could give yourself a Settings widget and set it to be a shortcut to Accessibility.
Hello everyone. I'd like for this thread to be a repository for Edge screen developments you'd like to see come to life.
I, for one would love to see edge notifications which when swiped, slide out the app they represent, like a drawer.

I'd like for notifications to scroll across the panel when the main display is off.

I would also like that same feature to come with a setting for adjusting the scroll speed and duration of the preview. In the stock configuration I find that it happens way too quick and there's no way to call it back up.
+1 also on a more comprehensive sports ticker.
And a suggestion I have been calling for is expanded settings for the edge panel itself. Specifically I would like to be able to adjust the background opacity to completely clear.
Already a thread about this.

In my opinion I think Samsung missed the obvious when they didn't put a clock and battery indicator on the notification panel(or any panel), especially because any app the you use on landscape mode you can't slide down just a lttle bit the regular notification slide down menu to get that hint on battery % left or the time without exiting my game, video, etc.
What I would like to see on my edge screen? Everything on the top of the phone when used normally should go to the edge when used on landscape, not some text that does nothing for you. The actual notification panel would be awesome cause then you will have the weather aswell.

For some apps/games yeah but for others that are landscape only nope. Some of this games I had in my S4 and I was able pull the notification slide down menu sideways or in landscape but in the edge it ain't happening, not even by orienting my phone vertically. This is the only thing that makes me think the Note4 would have been a better choice.

Ahh I see. The issue those apps forced landscape one way. Try a rotation app that forces the other way so the edge is on the bottom.

If you flip the phone 180° in landscape so the edge is down, a small swipe on the top (now opposite the edge) does what I think you want

Only works if the app supports both landscape orientations. Those games don't...
I guess it just comes down to each user.
I haven't had any apps not work the way I said.
I believe all the app will rotate 180 tho.
Edge notification panels
I think of all things that this phone is missing, are fully customizable panels for use on the edge screen.
Being limited to the 5-6 standard ones you can get for the phone, I find myself starting to regret getting this phone.
I was seriously hoping that the user would be able to create or even modify the panels a little more heavily.
Who the hell will use the yahoo stock app for god's sake? Would have been better offering a custom panel instead.
I am going to be looking into this to see how hard it is to create/manage these panels.
I will need suggestions as to what people would like these panels to do. Please try and think of what you want and post as many suggestions per post as possible so its easier to get an idea.

I'm looking for the same answer, I'd prefer a bit more granular control of my notifications as the options available aren't enough. All I'd want to do is hide the "peek" option.
Seems like you have to go to the app specifically and tap notification from there you can hide them for that app.

How did you turn on battery percent?
In the battery section in settings there's a toggle
Sent from my LG-H918 using Tapatalk
None of these settings are just for peek, you'd need access to the System UI Tuner for a slightly more granular adjustment. I would still want to be notified with a sound/vibration, I'd just want to hide peek which gets in the way when I'm doing other things on the phone.

Bumping because I am looking for the capability to do the same thing. For some reason they (ATT and/or LG) have blocked the System UI tuner which allows for blocking peeking notifications while keeping the sound and vibrations. Android not having a simple option to globally disable peeking is greatly annoying.
If there is no way to enable the System UI tuner is there another way to disable peeking notifications on the LG V20 while still allowing vibration/noise? Silent notifications are almost as useless as peeking/heads up notifications.
LG has. There has never to my knowledge has there been a LG device that has had it since it was introduced.

System UI Tuner is a special option, that has to be enabled (akin to Developer Options), added to Android M and above so barely any phones have it. Some carriers and manufacturers have disabled it on those that do, such as the V20.
Regardless of the System UI tuner there should be some other way on the LG V20 to disable peeking per app or globally. We are just trying to find a way on the LG V20 without also having to silence sound/vibration. There also does not seem to be an app to take care of the issue since those like HeadsOff are no longer compatible.
Does app info in application manager help with certain apps?

All you are able to do is what was linked above in the screenshot.
-Block (No notifications)
-Show silently (no sound, vibrate, or peek)
-Lock screen notifications (all, sensitive, none)
-Priority (yes/no)
Am looking for this too it's driving me nuts anyone? It was present on galaxy note 7
Sent from my LG-H918 using XDA-Developers mobile app
add me to the list
this is an unbelievable situation, its driving me crazy.. i did lots of experiments and researches, still no solution, appearantly its an app based and not a general thing, i dont know why, apps and Andriod N.. Whatsapp in my case will be the exmaple
My conclusion is based on the below tests and readings:
- All my whatsapp settings are set to vibrate and/or sound, but no pop up
- Am using Novo launcher, so i thought the launcher is the problem, however, tried the default one, but still pops up
- surprisingly, Textra app, Telegram app, some other calendar apps, doesn't show a pop up peek if u disabled it from the app itself. keeping the sound and vibrate on as wanted.
- I sent to whatsapp an email, but the email they replied with was useless and didnt address the problem itself
- i tried few apps at the play store, but all of them didnt work, as non is built for Andriod N
- the only way is what mentioned in this thread, where you will block the notification alert and show it silently, and thats not what we want.
- Yes the UI Tuner is not activated and cant be activated in this device
The End result, its a problem in these specific apps with Andriod N, and its the problem from LG not activating the UI Tuner, if only there is a way to communicate with LG and force them to solve this problem.
Glad to hear others thoughts..
Dear all,
I can confirm that i was able to block the headsup using adb commands. Refer and search through the forums here at xda, few threads explained it.. Easy in 30 min done
adb shell settings put global heads_up_notifications_enabled 0
You're welcome.
You should still get the ticker-like notification in the second screen.
thanks it works

Yes am still getting the ticker and thats a very useful feature in LGv20, i dont mind that as long as the headsup is disabled.
Ok now how do we get the notification to show longer in the second screen? Most my apps time out in about 2 seconds with the exception of the stock messaging app, and bluemail (both show for approx 5 seconds)...

Its using adb, and u have to read about it and installing on ur PC then connecting the phone and doing the process and commands. There r threads in the forums of how to do it..
Amd ues the popup still shows up on the second screen
Well let me share with you some of my experience with the C567B320 so far:
The new graphical user interface GUI referred to as Emotion UI or EMUI 5.0 is so much closer to pure stock android 7.0 UI with sleek design and light tints plus a new gesture (split windows) feature to honor 8 introduced to larger sized huwaei phones, namely Mate serie as well as now you have the choice to select the no drawer launcher or a launcher with an app drawer.
Now the experience :
Very light and snappy, but since its a beta release i found some minor bugs and hopefully will get fixed on the next beta or final release,
Aside from the graphical bug describe in attached screenshot where the restore default settings button covers the last line in Accessibility settings found under advaced settings.

I just noticed that the Kernel version date is:
Tue Nov 22 12:37:41 CST 2016
Android Security patch level:
November 1, 2016
The battery juice gave me 6:34 hrs. On normal facebook, youtube, browsing, playstore downloads and slight gaming (Army of Heroes) usage and still i had like 20% of juice left.
I think that the major fix over B317 is the battery behavior through newly modified kernel (some members described a bad battery drain overnight on B316/ B317) i confirm, it is not here anymore at least of what I've experienced so far.
Some apps doesn't work properly with Android N,
Screen off/ Screen lock apps doesn't quite work with the fingerprint unlocking but there are some experimental workarounds found in the settings of some of those apps, not as quite as good with Android M but still works.
Notifications icons seemed fine to me (some members complained about notifications icons placement)
I mean for me it's classified as a daily driver if those bugs are fixed, unless anyone can prove the opposite by describing bugs.

That's not the point, i just wanted to share my experience with EMUI 5.0/ Android N Beta version B320 as many of Beta testers are still in B316/ B317 and complaining of battery drain issue.

Could you maybe add some more screenshots?
I am also interested about the notification icons. I saw a video on youtube about EMUI 5, and it seemed like there now is only a counter how many notifications there are right now, and not the actual icons of the apps.
Edit: Just took a second look at your screenshots, seems like there is still the option to show the notification icons as usual, right?
can you post some screenshot about your software and hardware usage please with this sot
thx

So do you mean apps that turn off the screen don't work well? What apps would that be for example?
And what apps do you mean with fingerprint unlocking?

31% on screen? Wow, thats very good power consumption lvl with auto..
With mm, i usually get around 22%-25% and with that i got 7-8 hours sot.

Yes, most if not all of the available screen off (turn off) apps does turn off screen but doesn't allow you to unlock with fingerprint sensor unless you turn on a workaround option found in only few apps of them otherwise it will turn on screen without unlocking and a message will appear saying (Device locked by administration)
The drawback of the workaround to make them work with fingerprint sensor is that the phone screen will turn off after few seconds.
Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
@nitrowarez Hmm I see, but what is the point in using apps that turn off the screen? I mean, you can set the screen off timeout in the system settings.
I got the 320 OTA pushed out to me last night. Notification icons are back how they were in MM. I didn't quantify the battery life difference, but it seems like it's really good again.

To enforce turning off screen whenever you want..!!!
Btw, this is a beta version where users should use the phone in every aspect to discover bugs an repot them back to OEM to get them fixed, i hope you got my point of view.

Does emui 5 allow you to use pattern unlock with fingerprint ID?
Does it have stock lock screen notifications? I want to be able to expand my notifications from the lock screen

Yes to the stock notifications, no with the pattern unlock with fingerprint.
Any ideas on when EMUI 5.0 will be released?
