TouchWiz Launcher with Landscape? - Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Are there any modded TW Launchers that have a landscape mode? (Unless I'm just missing a landscape option somewhere)

Am i tripping? (auto rotate of screen w/ stock launcher)

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.

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.

[Q] Can I revert back to the Home screen not auto-rotating?

So I liked it when the home screen didn't auto-rotate, now with the recent update it auto-rotates. Is there any way to revert back to where only the Home screen did not auto-rotate?
I’m not talking about the locking the rotate function as this locks it for everything not just the home screen, I want to restore the original function that only locked the home screen in portrait mode and auto-rotated to landscape when using any other apps such as the browser and what not.
Thanks!

An option would be to install a launcher like apex, which is nearly the same as stock but with a few tweaks. Then force portrait orientation in its settings. This is what I have done
Holo launcher or trebuchet are more similar to stock launcher and have the possibility to disable auto-rotation

Thanks guys. So I take it there is no way to revert the default launcher back to the way it was? What a bummer.
Nova launcher seems to be the only one that works on JB but its based on the ICS launcher and not JB. Not really a solution.

All of these launchers are optimized to run with JB, you can feel comfortable, if you want to return to the original home just go to settings-applications then open the launcher that you decided to use and press the button "delete default"

[Q] Apex Launcher Landscape Mode Homescreen

Whether I use Holo Launcher Pro or Apex Launcher, the homescreen in fine in portrait mode. When I tilt the phone into landscape mode on the homescreen, the homescreens on the left partially show.
In other words, I can see partial widgets from second homescreens on the left and right of the main screen in landscape mode. I hope this makes sense.
Anyway, I was hoping to know if anyone else was experiencing this, or if it can be corrected. I messed around with rows and columns but I just can't get it correct. Are these apps needing updates for the new size or do I have some type of setting wrong on the S4?
Any help is appreciated.

Works well on go launcher

I think this too with the air command are things that don't depent on what launcher you use.. I know for sure both works with GO Launcher and Nova.. Most likely with any other launchers too
It's not part of Touchwiz. Doesn't matter what launcher you use.

Yes it works with any launcher.
Note that some apps create a setting in the services section of the accessibility section. If any of these are 'on', the one-hand feature does not work. Looks like this is s bug in Android. If the feature does not work, look there.
thanks all

Forced Landscape rotation?

Can anybody tell me a landscape rotation app that is compatible with the note 3 touchwiz. Because in home screen when in forced landscape mode using apps from playstore, the proportion is bugged.

Oh thank gawd! I'm not the only one! I too am having this issue (tmus) and posted that question today there:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2590080
Basically I was using "Ultimate Rotation Control" and it works great on all my previous galaxies but on the Note 3 it looks like the icon and widgets are trying to stay in a forced portrait mode. However my background image looks fine, go figure.
However you can change your launcher to GoLauncher and that should work for you just fine. I prefer GoLauncher myself because it has a calendar widget that none of the other launchers seem to have.
Hopefully the makers of URC fix their app because its not working now.
Not to my knowledge.
If you change to Apex, Nova or another launcher, though, you'll have that as an option amongst plenty of others... Not to mention less resource usages.
