Is there a way to have the portrait mode on Galaxy s8?
Like on the home screen? Not with the default launcher (TouchWiz), but Nova launcher can, and I bet there's others who can too.

I think OP means bokeh like iphone.
Open camera - swipe left - choose "selective focus"
Use that mode, but capture time is bit slow so dont move the phone or the object 3 seconds after you press the shutter button..

Selective focus is for closer object like 50cm away while portrait mode is for more like 1.5 meter away objects. Very different.
Ive been using that mode for couple times, and it worked, try it. Its on par with portrait mode in galaxy J7+, sort of.

hi, i notice in videos that when you're in the home screen, you're locked into landscape mode? Is that right?
Is there anyway you can make it so you can be in either landscape or portrait mode depending on how you're holding it?
THanks!

At present the only way is to use a different launcher such as adw our launcher pro.
everything else works in portrait btw, just not the home screen.
Tbh that doesn't bother me, took about 5 minutes to get used to, and makes sense to do that.

Notice how it's on a slider? And how it's a horizontal slider?
Lemme know if you see an EVO with a horizontal slide-out keyboard, kay?

I love that lolz of course your going to sense ui in landscape on a slide out. The slider triggers that now i think i would be a little annoyed if the evo had that since they sensor can be a bit touchy when you tilt just a little.
I think the OP's point was that there should be a Rom soon that has landscape enabled for areas other than sms and browser. I would enjoy that!
CM6 has landscape mode. It also has a power control widget that lets you turn off the rotation sensor software. Believe me, it gets to be annoying as hell having to sit and wait several seconds because you accidentally tilted your phone just the wrong way while walking, and your home screen has to re-render in landscape, then back into portrait.
i want to root but then i dont just seems to risky for me. maybe if i had a demo phone then i would but not my only line to the world
Rooting's pretty safe these days. I haven't had any serious issues with my phone, only little "cosmetic" issues... Nothing which getting CM6, editing a file, or nagging Cyanogen on Twitter hasn't fixed.

Yeah...I could see how it might. I've only had the evo for a few days and this is my first visit to the evo forums. Installed 2.2 official so now it appears I have to wait for root.
This is not really new, there are a few custom roms that allows you to rotate your home screen with or without sense.

Care to share some links?
I'm very excited for this. I've been waiting for HTC to come out with a phone with landscape Sense so that it could be ported over to the EVO.
Cyanogen has 360-degree roatation.
ADW Launcherand launcher pro both do this
The inability to view the original home screen in landscape mode resulted in me trying launcherpro/adw and now with CM6 I have yet to look back. 99% of the time I'm in landscape mode.. when I'm not I am not happy. I feel like one of those assholes on a sidekick but I don't care. It's the only way I can do it.

Easy fix for this would be to give it a few seconds before switching..
What I really want is landscape mode while at a 45% angle - i.e. when using the kickstand.. Had that with other launchers, but ended up going w/ sense since I hated every other launcher that I tried.. (adw/ launcherpro / etc)
And yes, obviously I realize that the EVO doesn't have a keyboard - just pointing out that a landscape sense is OUT THERE we should be able to get it..

Yep - ADW and launcher pro do this.. but.. I found both of them extremely laggy compared to sense
Not sure why people are hating on sense - I like it.. it works, and works well.. *but* doesn't support landscape at least on our devices

Because LauncherPro is better in every way, shape, and form.
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.
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?
Sent from my SM-910F with Tapatalk App.
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.
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.
