Hi,
As the title says: does anybody have a solution to lock rotation on landscape with stock Note3 TOUCHWIZ JB 4.3?
I know there are apps on play store to lock/force rotation but when you force landscape on homescreen or app drawers it is out of proportion (bottom half of things get cut off by screen)
I'm looking for a compatible solution and unfortunately im not looking for alternative launchers.
Thanks!

I could be wrong, but I don't believe so. Your best bet would be download a launcher. I use Nova, and there is a feature in Nova that allows you to view the homescreen in landscape when you rotate your phone.
Yep, but it causes some pretty severe lag for some reason...
Look for rotation stuff on play store

I apologize if this has been addressed before but I'm a little pressed for time right now. Has anyone else had the issue with their wallpaper sizes being different on the home screen and lock screen? As in when you unlock the device it seems as if the wallpaper zooms almost? If so is there a fix for it? I am currently on Apex Launcher if that means anything.
Thanks in advance

Yup mine does that too.
Using Nova Launcher with a PIN lockscreen and wallpaper set from gallery using a photo taken by S4 camera.
Edit: Just tried with different photos and still same resizing change from lockscreen to home screen. No idea why.

Go to playstore and download an app called picspeed. Use that app to set your wallpapers. It wont oversize the pics like the phone system does. So when you pic your wallpapers from gallery and it ask what app to install with click picsoeed. It has 3 box sizes to choose from. The good thing is you can use any wallpaper in your gallery it dont have to be a download from picspeed.

Since we have a really big screen on our Galaxy S4 its sometimes really hard to pull the statusbar down. I'm already using an app like "statusbar expander" to pull it down by pressing a softbutton. But then i switched to ParanoidAndroid and i found out that tabletUI set to 420dpi is the perfect solution for our phone! But with PA i dont have the SGS4 camera, the music player, or things like s-view, or the video app for example. I discovered that on other samsung devices it is possible to have tablet UI WITH TOUCHWIZ like on the Note2 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2216311) Can somebody please make a TabletUI Touchwiz ROM for our S4 ? I would donate some money and shure others will
If you use Nova launcher you can use gestures to pull down the status bar. If I swipe down from any home screen it pulls it down. There are several gestures to choose from.

Just installed lollipop and widgets have gone. Is their a different lock screen app that puts them back else I'm back to kitkat. Its literally a feature i use continuously on my phone. Can anyone help me out or point me onto what setting I'm missing.
Thanks

Lockscreen widgets are gone in favour of notifications in Lollipop. You can't have lockscreen widgets without a third party lockscreen app or going back to kitkat.
I like to have my phone in landscape in the car, is there anyway to get it to rotate the touchwiz homescreen into landscape at all? I'm using a Tasker task to enable car mode and a few other things, but the homescreen is annoying.
Any advice appreciated
I've got interest in this too. I often want to use the landscape mode in homescreen.

Yes, there are apps that can do this.
The name of the apps?

Some rotation locker apps. Don't remember their names exactly. Edit: One was called "Set Orientation".
But I don't want it rotate manually and i don't want to touch the lockscreen. I'll try your named app.

Don't know if it's any good. It was just the one that came to my mind spontaneously.
