[Q] Rotate/Landscape mode for touchwiz - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone,
I finally rooted my G901F and I'd like to make the home screen rotate like I did on the S3.
The only prob is that with the S3 it was directly included in my Custom ROM, now there is only one ROM for the G901F and it doesn't have this option.
I searched in the Xposed files but I found nothing.
If you know any way to do it please let me know.
Thanks

Really?
Just install a launcher

I want to stay on touchwiz
Which interesting launcher do you propose?

Whichever one you like after you have tested them

well I think I'll use google now launcher.
I'm pretty sure there is a way to do it in Touchwiz, if someone know the trick please let me know.

yes it seems we are the only one with the 901F.
I tried google launcher but I prefer the TW one. I'm more used to it.
I'm not good enough to code something. I'll wait for a nice person to do it

Samsung locked the screen to portrait mode in the AndroidManifest.xml in the S5 so it can't be changed you need to use a 3rd party launcher if you want landscape rotation, or a custom rom

finally a real technical and precise answer
thx

You can make it rotate actually, if you get app settings from xposed and set orientation to "Normal rotation" it rotates fine.

Too good to be true.
it does the same as all the apps in the store. I cant see all the icons in landscape mode.

Thats probably since touchwiz home doesnt support that orientation, nothing will make it look correct.

Verizon Xperia Play App Drawer?

Hey guys, i'm going to be purchasing an xperia play (my first android/smart phone whoo!) soon and I've done my fair share of research over this phone and i've gone to the verion store to check it out, and i like it a lot, but there's just one thing that bothers me. What happened to the app drawer? I know it's stock gingerbread therefore it should have the same app drawer that the Nexus S has, but it doesn't seem the same, the reason I say this is because when you scroll up and down through the apps, it doesn't give you that "cube" like effect, what happened?

does that really matter? there is a million launchers on the market that can emulate that cube effect in the app draw, and imo have much better effects too, just download one

Download the Gingerbread launcher, push it to /system/app and delete the default launcher. Problem solved This isnt ios You know
I don't have the Verizon edition so could be COMPLETELY wrong but perhaps it's enable-able in a settings?
Even if not the other comments are right - think of it this way. It's not that it doesn't have the cube effect, it's that you need to install it via the market - Launcher Pro or Gingerbread Launcher should both have it (ADW too maybe?)
If you get that phone you can definitely get the effect your looking for

Sounds more like it would be a property in the Launcher2.apk file. You can extract it and search if you want.

[Q] [REQ] Nexus4 TouchWiz5

Sorry that I post here, I dont have enough posts yet to post in developer threads.
Is it possible to port TW5 to the Nexus4 ?
I dont like the ICS (TW4) one. 5 Looks better with the colors.
Would be nice if someone could do it.

Because its a great phone and I like it even if it doesn´t have TW
Then I´ll just wait if someone makes a TW5 port or S3 Theme.
I didn´t want to flash a Custom ROM thats why I asked, I am sure I´ll be able to use TW with CyanogenMOD ?
Anyway, thanks for your answers
//EDIT I informed myself a bit, I didnt know TW is a formware, I just wanted the launcher/theme
reason i bought nexus is to rid of touchwhiz.. who wants that kiddish firmwarE?

you can try to find a touchwiz theme for a third party launcher like "go launcher" in the play store
Is this a TROLL THREAD?
Thread moved to Q&A as is a question and even if you did have enough posts you should never post question threads in development. Please don't disrespect other members and be abusive as this is uncalled for. Some people are just not as knowledgeable as others and we were all new once so if you don't have anything useful to say, please say nothing at all.
Thanks

Yes its been confirmed it is.
I already saw there is a request for sense. No motoblur love yet?
A touchwiz rom for a LG phone?
But no seriously, touchwiz as well as HTC sense, lg ui, motoblur are all closed source and very difficult to port. On Galaxy Nexus, there was a skin pack of Touchwiz on top of stock Android.
For people bashing op, android is all about options. If a developer wants to devote his time into porting it then so be it. Nothing is stopping him. If android was one way if thinking then we wouldn't be any different than the you know community.
Realistically, getting a stable touchwiz rom isn't worth it and it won't happen most likely. If you like touchwiz then get a galaxy s3 or a note 2

The launcher and some of the framework was ported to the Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 7 by a developer called madphone, he even made a ROM that was fully themed.
He's also ported LG launcher and framework to the Galaxy Nexus.
Evilisto has ported the LG lock screen to the Galaxy Nexus too.
Yes OP it's possible and you're not wrong for asking, it's your phone so run what you like on it and never mind everyone else.
Best bet to see TW5 on the Nexus 4 is to contact madphone and see if he's interested in porting it, maybe he can tell you if the mods he's got out will work right off the bat on the Nexus 4.
Do a search for him and you'll find his threads. Or Google TW5 for Galaxy Nexus, a few months back a few big Android sites wrote an article about his work.

All I want is that I can organize my homescreen by pinching it with two fingers and removing that circle in the middle to open the menu, I´d also like to have folders in my menu.
Thats all. I dont want to use third party apps, I had goLauncher on my GalaxyS+ but I had problems so I want it to be fully implemented into my OS/ROM.
Maybe I´ve missunderstood what touchwiz is,
but I am used to this layout and I like it.

Touchwiz is the framework for all Samsung devices. It is the skin that they used. Some prime elements of Touchwiz is the notification bar, icon skins being in squares, home screen of square icons, memo, smart stay, etc.

Ok thank you for explaining me, I think I´ll get used to ICS, but it looks so 'sad' because its so dark and bluish. Maybe I´ll find some nice mods in the Themes Section soon.

It's what stock Android looks like. It's called Holo. I actually like it a lot and prefer it over TouchWiz launcher.
you can google for 'touchwiz launcher galaxy nexus port' and try installing the APK and see if it works (dont flash any zips though, at least i wouldnt try it)

try Tilt Scroll is not the same but is good :good:
I don't understand how it worked for you! I have tried to see how that thing works (I know how it should) in broad daylight under direct sunlight, but I could never make it work! Not only that, Smart Pause, Smart Stay, none of them worked! I was sure that something is wrong with my eyes, maybe people need to have some different kind of eyes, but then I asked at least a dozen of my friend to try to make it work, they all failed, I sighed knowing I have human eyes. Since then I hated any Smart features, and I am so happy that Lollipop doesn't have most of them.

S8 Live Wallpaper (simulation)
Install this app from here https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=71916776&postcount=7
Set up however you desire. Install this app from here https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=4016807&d=1485366069 to enable live wallpaper to lockscreen as well. The paid version of the S8 Live Wallpaper app in the playstore gives you more options.
Found this link. Provides a similar and excellent wallpaper like in the s8.
Unlike the ones on Google play and the ones here this one lets you pick custom backgrounds and more importantly has a swipe like effect.
So far i love this one. This will keep me busy until my warranty ends so i can root and install an s8 port rom.

Good Lock 2018

I don't know know if your familiar with this app but I absolutely love it. This combined with Substratum gives you the ability to customize your phone to its fullest. I was able to theme my notifications shade to match my note9 colors and that's not even the half of what you can do. Give it a try. Search Good Lock 2018 in the Galaxy Apps store.
Nice, thanks for the heads up. I've seen these two things mentioned here and there. I'm downloading and giving them a shot now!
This is one of Samsung's best. Why doesn't it come on the phone? It has like 5 different amazing additions.
Just installed it and it is really good. Changed my recent apps so it is similar to android pie where you can scroll from left to right and vice versa. Much easier to multitask this way.
Nice find!
Wow! Love this! Thank you! Now we just need an app to control the settings theme and we're good to go
Can't find it in my Galaxy store. Can someone share the APK?

I actually like the fact that you can add it. I wish the whole Samsung UX was like that. If Samsung came with just stock android and you could pick and choose features you want to add. It would be freaking magical. ?

Aptoide? Really? Welcome to adware land!
Personally I just grab the apks from apkmirror and install them.
You have to add shortcuts to each app because they are not accessible from the app drawer. Use a shortcut maker app for that.

Sometimes it's just easier with Aptoid. Download get the app you want. Uninstall. Apk mirror is also a great option. Thanks for sharing.

Samsung Quickstar
