Gallery view : no rotations of pictures - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

Good morning,
I had since the beginning with my new phone this problem : Pictures won't rotate in my gallery view!
I have read forums and saw that it was a software issue related to those who are using NOVA launcher.
this solution for the S6 edge is working!
The fix I applied was super simple.
Previously, gallery did not rotate when launched from a folder on the nova home screen.
When I moved the shortcut out of a folder, to occupy just one spot on my home screen, it started to rotate.
Also, launching gallery from the app drawer always was able to rotate as well .
Put a shortcut again to Nova launcher and It works!
It's always nice to known!

Do you mean the rotation from portrait to landscape of a photo you are viewing?

Yes, That's what I mean.
If I started the Gallery from the icon on the my nova launcher, the pictures didn't rotate when I putted the phone in landscape.
When using the icon on the app drawer, it did!

I never had that issue. I wouldn't think it would make much difference but I'm on an AT&T S7E with Android 6.0.1 and Nova Launcher Prime 4.2.2.
I tried all 3 ways. Gallery shortcut on my home page, Gallery shortcut on my home page but within a folder, and Gallery app in the App Drawer. I closed Gallery completely in between each test and every time I selected a photo it would rotate from Portrait to landscape without issue. I wonder if some other app is causing the conflict even though you said this happened before on the S6's.
Well, at least it works and thanks for the "fix" information because someone else will surely need it!

I launch Gallery from a folder in Nova Prime, and my images rotate just fine.

Having the same issue on Note 7.
The culprit is nova launcher with "Screen orientation" set to anything but "Auto-rotate". As soon as I set to "Auto-rotate" the gallery started rotate as well.

Nova launcher landscape?

OK. I have been fiddling with nova for a while but I can't find any option for home screen orientation. I went ahead and updated to prime...still no dice. Others have mentioned it working...what am I missing?
ADW works though..but I prefer Nova.

you don't need prime but that is fine. pull down your notifications window. Is the little icon set to allow the screen orientation to change or is it locked?
There is a setting in nova launcher under look and feel, screen orientation.
Under "look and feel" there is an option for screen orientation. you can choose from default, auto-rotate, force portrait, and force landscape.
If you're interested in having the Nexus 7 homescreen actually rotate, you can download Ultimate Rotation Control.
Once installed, you can choose the option "Forced Auto" and the home screen will rotate.

Hi every one !
I just received my nexus 7 today and I notice that it doesn't rotate to landscape when I'm using any application ??

Turn it on in your "accessibility" settings. I think that's where it is. Should be a setting for "auto rotate".
Or check the notification area for the rectangle with two semicircular arrows

just swipe down from the top to see your notifications.There is a toggle right there to unlock rotation.
I tried everything but still not responding !!!
Shall I return it or try to fix it ?

Try opening an app and see if it rotates in that.
Thing is, even when you unlock rotation, the home screens won't rotate - made me think it was faulty too when I first got mine. You need a third party launcher if you want home screens to rotate to landscape.
If even in apps it won't rotate, then maybe it's faulty.

Swipe down your notification bar, to the right of the date is a lock with two arrows circling it. Press that and the lock will change shape.
Now all apps that support it will change orientation, the home screen does NOT support this. To rotate the home screen you will need to download a new launcher from the play store.
Test that rotation is working with a stock app like YouTube, not all third party apps are coded to rotate.

I opened all apps and still not responding !!
I did rest factory ,.. nothing change
I recommend Apex or Nova for a launcher. I am partial to Nova right now but both of them are top notch. Everything rotates beautifully now. Make sure to do what they said and also don't forget to check in the launcher settings as there is an option there too.
Cheers!
Thanks for responds !!
But it still not working , I'm going to return it back

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.

S8 unlocks to home screen each time instead of opened app

No matter what app I have opened, my S8 unlocks to the home screen. Using action launcher beta. Could they be a launcher problem or phone issue?
I'm not sure, but mine doesn't do that and I'm using Nova launcher. Can't remember on Samsung launcher. Try Nova and just see if it does it. That will rule out ether the phone or launcher
Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk
I have the same thing, I've been using Waze lately and whenever I unlock it goes straight to the home screen.
Haven't had the chance to install Nova on my S8, not that I need it too.
Uninstalled action launcher and installed nova prime and its still doing it across stock and installed apps. Trying another restart.
edit: so right now it seams to work 50/50. pattern doesn't open up to the last opened app. It almost always opens to the launcher home screen. fingerprint sensor almost always opens to the last used app, but sometimes doesn't. this is after about 20 unlocks on different apps (messages, audible, samsung browser, play store)
edit 2: so I uninstalled adblock, adhell, and then deleted all folders that were not in use from the "my files" app and then did a restart and that seems to have fixed my issue, at least for now.
Do you use BxActions or any similar apps?

Replacement launcher with split screen?

Hi - I've been looking to replace my launcher from touchwiz as I need landscape orientation for the home page.
Do any of the alternative launchers support split screen? Doesn't look like Nova, Action Launcher or Google Launcher do, and I cant find Samsung's Good Lock for some reason as I thought that might.
Any ideas? Thanks
Samsung doesn't want launchers to work in split screen. That is a design decision which makes sense when you think about it. The same reason that the launcher does not show in "Recent apps".
Fear not, there might be a solution.
A simple trick would be to get the apk that you want to try in split screen and then edit its AndroidManifest.xml file so that the app doesn't know that it's a launcher. (Not sure if you can do that directly but most probably you'll have to Decompile the app -> edit manifest -> Recompile the app.
If you have spare free time you can google how to do all this. And see if its possible. (Most probably it is.)
I found a great solution! I force landscape mode using an app and Nova in split screen - ie I have music on touchwiz one side, and nova on the other. That way I can run any apps split screen. Inside nova I can run maps which wont run on it's own in split screen.
Touchwiz allows this with launcher apps which are not set as the default home.
In fact it works fantastic. I use it along with a floating app launcher so I can press home and it wont take the whole homescreen home, just the nova launcher.

hello whats actually my problem i try run the same app 2 times with island app but it doesnt let me put in split screen so i have the one app full screen and the main one not cloned floating mode but i am looking for a way to run both in split can work with your way ?
I recently downloaded the GalaxyS8_Dark_clock_noframe.apk and it is WOW! Although I only got to try out the trial version on a Samsung Galaxy A3 2017 with android v6.0 (marshmellow) I noticed that in the gallery app the title for each album is white against a background of white and not black against a background of white or white text against a black background? See attached image.
Is there a freeware theme that is similar with the dark menus,notification window,etc as I don't have that much data so I can't google that much....
Thanks
