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.
someone try this to make sure its not just me... unlock the phone regular, and of course the normal fade in home screen animation appears... but then lock the phone, slide over to open the lockscreen camera widget, then press home and lock the phone again. now when you unlock the phone, does it skip the fade in animation? cause thats what happens on mine, only way to get that smooth unlock animation back is to reboot the phone. BTW im on completely stock 4.2.1 no root locked bootloader stock recovery.
Animation is gone after doing all that so its not just you
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
that irked me so much i downloaded Lockscreen Policy from the play store and removed the camera lockscreen widget altogether. lol
So today I was messing with go locker pro and some settings and I was able to set a pattern using go locker pro, then used the swipe from the stock lock screen to have multiple widgets with the swipe effect and when i unlocked I would have to draw a pattern which was a part of go locker pro. Sadly go locker is laggy and when i reboot I have to set the settings over again because swipe gets taken off. Can anyone use this as a lead to figure out how to keep this set up permanently?
When I updated to Lollipop a weather widget appeared on my lockscreen and I can't figure out how to remove it. Any suggestions?
I assume you're on a stock ROM. Go to Settings>Lock Screen. You should have an option to shut it off there. If not, you'll need to open the Accuweather widget settings and look for the setting there.

Go To Settings then lock screen then lock screen widgets then change personal message to clock now come back to lock screen setttings and additional information tab is accessible and can be turned off and then u can also change back clock to personal message
Thanks for the info, that did the trick.
I've been unable to find any lock screen apps that can override the TouchWiz lock screen. Such apps either state 'not compatible' in the App store or they simply don't work (e.g. the TouchWiz lock screen still takes precedence).
Without rooting the Tab A and flashing a custom ROM, has anyone found a way to replace the lock screen app?
Thanks,
M.
I'm using that : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.achep.acdisplay&hl=en
Make sure to go into Settings and switch the lockscreen to None when using another lockscreen app.
