Howdy yall. Just got my shiny new S4 the other day (bought it from a friend for $400, and sold my Evo 4G LTE for $200. So basically got this phone for $200 with no contract extension, yay!), and am very pleased with it.
I just have one question. Is there a way to enable landscape rotation on the home-screen? I have this awesome cd-slot phone-mount, and in order to see my radio controls, I have to keep the phone rotated in landscape. On my old Evo LTE, there were ways to enable rosie (HTC's overlay, similar to TW) to operate in landscape mode, which I absolutely loved. Is there any method to get this working on the S4?
Thanks!
Not with the TW launcher but Nova launcher and others support it.

There is an app in the play store called ultimate rotation control or something like that that may help.

Hey everyone! Like the title says, I am new to rooting and Android devices. I was a BlackBerry loyalist for many years, and after that had a Nokia Lumia 900. After being disappointed by that, decided to switch to android. I'm 99% sure I will be picking up the GS4 on Sunday. My question for thos of you here that would know; when rooting, can I take apps/programs from other manufacture devices and put them on to my device? (ie: Htc Zoe and put on to S4. or S Health and put on the One)
Sorry in advance if this has been discussed before (i havent seen it) or if this is in the wrong location.

All android apps from the play store will transfer. SOME, but only some will transfer by manually install from the 'system' or Rom/Custom Rom, but it's sketchy at best. You can always try it..... Nandroid first though. Which we seem to not be able to do yet. And NONE move from blackberry to android as far as I know.

So this might be an idiotic question, however figured i'd ask anyways.
I was wondering if, on the Galaxy S4 there was a way of changing the color themes of the apps. For example, the e-mail app, or messaging app are all dark/black themed whereas in the stock jelly bean apps (like on Nexus), are white/gray colored which I found to look much better.
Is there any way of getting the Galaxy S4 to look like this without rooting/installing Custom ROM?
what about try get theme in google play?
After thinking about it more, is Samsung even using the stock jelly bean apps on the GS4? And if not is it possible to install them on the i337 yet?

I have been researching for a while buy have not found quite what I'm looking for... I am planning to switch to android from my iPhone... I have owned a iPhone since they first came out. I have been doing a lot of research as of yet because I am eligible for and upgrade here in a week or two. I have decided on the galaxy s4. Amazing specs compared to my 4s!!! I plan on using the smart dock to connect to a monitor/keyboard at home and a Motorola 'lap dock' on the go (of course with a slight cable mod) as seen on tech crunches news article showing a raspberry pi as a 'laptop'. The most research I have been doing has been on software, I am going to run ubuntu 'along side' my android. There are apps I can use after I root the s4 like 'Debian kit' or 'complete Linux installer' but I am really wondering If there are any other options that I can do without using a vnc to 'connect' into the GUI? Like simply opening an app once everything is installed and running correctly. Or quite literally similar to the Ubuntu for android solution. Now I know that once I'm able to set everything up its not going to run like a super computer, nor do I really expect it to. I simply want to consolidate a lot of My computing.

Does anyone know of a multi boot setup for the galaxy s4? I'm coming off a moto RAZR and I had safe strap on it which allowed me to partition the memory and install multiple ROMS... Just wondering if there was a similar program for the s4... Thanks.

same situation
Came from razr maxx and in same boat... Would like to have samsung rom for Remote features and one for battery saving
hint to devs that might be reading this...
Hopefully there is an awesome person WAY smarter than me working on that as we speak. I hated that phone but having safe strap was freekin awesome. I'm a flash-a-holic and being able to run 4 ROMS at the same time for comparisons was great... phone was garbage but that part was great...

Safe strap will work at long as you have not updated to 4.3 OTA on VZW not sure which carrier you have
