Hi all
Anyone know of a way to lock or select an orientation for the "lock screen" in portrait mode thats compatible with ADW ?

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:
http://forum.pocketables.net/showthread.php?t=7317
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.
i could have sworn that this phone auto rotates right? regardless if keyboard is out or not?
i know it may not be full rotate
is she supposed to rotate with the stock launcher? or does orientation only flip when keyboard is out?
SN: of course launcher pro works fine..... i just wanted to know if touchwiz launcher was supposed to work like that as well
In short, no.
TouchWiz only rotates if you slide out the keyboard.
okay so i am tripping. lol
thanks!!!
cuz i coulda swore i had it rotate the screen once but i guess im wrong.
thanks again!
go into settings display settings and check tap orientation to enable rotation orientation
it did before the update to add amazon mp3 garbage.

dah well
There has to be a way to force TouchWiz rotation. I have a vibrant, and now that the dock is out, there has to be something the dock does to force rotation on the touchwiz homescreen.
anyone have any ideas?
u be tripping
as long as we're asking questions, i could have sworn that you could re-order the touch wiz screens but i'm thinking it might have been because was on the epic experience rom.... was that a TW 3.0 feature?
Pinch zoom out to get to that feature.

from the home screen on a stock phone? not working. not a huge deal i just remeber being able to do it
I used the various hacks and apps to bring home screen rotation early on but disabled it after a while, finding the rotation incredibly laggy.
Well after the new update, rotation is enabled but again is very laggy indeed. Any way to disable it without disabling rotation in apps?

Maybe try a different launcher like Nova Launcher. it has settings to force rotation to portrait or landscape.
FWIW, it sounds like you have a sensor problem. Mine is not laggy with Nova or stock.

I've toggled the widget in the drop menu multiple times. I can't seem to get the screen to rotate at all, in menus or apps. Am I missing something? Defective? Does the screen rotate on the home screen?

I've also checked the box for auto rotate under the accessibility settings

if you let it auto rotate, the screen will change from landscape to portrait and vice versa. this happens in both the apps such when in the chrome browser as well as when viewing the desktop. locking auto rotate prevents this rotation as you turn the tablet.
is your screen not rotating?
I am currently using Xperia Home launcher, but it does not support double tap to sleep.
Is there any widget or app for quick screen off? I mean really screen off, not screen lock because I am also using Smart Lock feature while at home.
Greenify can do this. (rooted it will turn the screen off instantly, non-rooted it will have a delay to turn it off)
Screen of and lock
Thanks for all your suggestions but I found just perfect app myself.
It is Gravity Screen from Play Store. You must play with the settings for a while until you find a setup that suits your needs.
