[Q] Portrait Lockscreen?

Is there a way to put the lockscreen in portrait only? I have searched for this quite extensively and I have found no setting that can be changed or app that can be installed that will enable this. I would like it to be just the default lock screen turned 90 degrees.
I am running DJ_Steve's 1.5.0.
Thanks

I too would like to know this.

use the search next time and you would know it is not. orientation is built into the kernel and framework. its just not gonna happen.

Thank you for this helpful information. I did use the search and found nothing about it being part of the kernel and framework. The only stuff I found was to use various apps to change the lock screen to something else that would be portrait, and that isn't what I wanted.

I would definitely like to have this as the default setting.
Hope Dell implements this in a future update.

[Q] screen rotation. please help!

this is probably a dumb question but how do i get the screen to rotate 180 degrees in paranoid android 3.15 or 3.99. i know iv had it with this rom before. basically i want the screen to turn any way i pick it up in an app like maps. thanks
btw my screen isint rotating at all right now. i have apex launcher but cant find the setting either.

Stupid solution, but did you check if screen rotation is enabled in Settings> Display?

How to change the DPI (no root)

I'm not sure how widely known this is, but it's possible to change the DPI of your new phone if (like me) you find that everything is too big. It's super easy too.
1. Go to About Phone > Software Info and tap the Build number 7ish times to unlock the developer options menu.
2. Back out to settings, enter the Developer options menu now at the bottom of the list.
3. Scroll down until you find the Minimum width setting in the Drawing section about 3/4 of the way down. It's set to 411dp by default on the S8+.
4. Change it to whatever you prefer! Higher number = everything gets smaller, Lower number = everything gets bigger.
Enjoy your extra space!

Awesome.. one problem.. keyboard looks wierd after changing width

If the keyboard looks weird.. Go up on DPI because its breaking up the design.
Im at 460 on highest resolution. And its not breaking that.

Is your AOD centered (if you have it enabled)? I set my S8 to 420 and the AOD was slightly skewed to the right. Tried pushing it down to 411, which I guess is default on the S8+ and it re-centered the AOD. I'm assuming there are various 'accepted' DPI settings that won't break the layout; I think somebody listed them for the Pixel on Reddit, but I can't find a similar listing for the S8. Any ideas?

I also noticed it not being centered after changing the DPI, and what's worse after setting it back to 411 it's still not centered

I'm at 480 and it's great. My aod is centered, but isn't it supposed to move a little very slowly to prevent burn in?

Indeed, feels like something I should have remembered. Thanks for pointing that out.

I am at 576.
Aod is centered but obviously small.
I use SwiftKey for keyboard and Nova launcher. Hence do not see any other issues
Increased font size and bold font so that I can read stuff better. I

I'm on 425 und I love it.

449 for me. Been using it since S7e lollipop Beta. No issues I also use nova

500 here w/ all apps full-screen, bold font just a shade above tiny. So glad this is able to be done w/o root, along w/ multi window for any app!

Any recommendations for a bigger option xd... tried 351 but doesn't seems great.. 411 is too small for me

600 turns on tablet mode, and things are working well. Two issues I've noticed so far:
* The battery icon in AoD doesn't render correctly
* "About Phone -> Status" page causes com.android.phone FC - doesn't seem to have any ill effects besides not being able to open that page. Need to go 599 or lower to get it to open again.

480 is a good one

Hey, can you elaborate on the multi-window? I haven't messed around with mine that much yet, and I haven't seen anything mentioned anywhere else.

I remember doing this on the Note 7 I think and I remember that though I liked it, I wanted to go back, so when I set it back to the DPI that it was before, it didnt actually restore everything to the way it was. I noticed someone on here mentioned they set it back to 411 and that did NOT bring things back to stock. Can anyone else confirm?
Im on the s8+ and I love smaller icons/txt so I'd like a higher DPI, but scared that if I dont like it, I will not be able to get everything back to stock without restoring the phone, which I really dont want to do lol.
Also, what is AoD?
I use Nova, so not sure what it stands for.

I haven't noticed anything that doesn't change back. If there are certain font sizes etc that don't change back, I would suspect a reboot would fix that, but I can't tell you for sure. AoD is 'Always on Display', the clock/date/battery/etc display that comes up on the screen when the screen is "off".

Sure thing!
Settings>Advanced Features>Multiwindow: Enable both
Developer options>Force activities to be resizable: Enable
Once you've done that, hold your recents button to use multi-window whenever you'd like. I tend to use the feature for most of my daily work, and in my opinion is the most useful native addition in years.
I should mention as well, enabling "screen pinning" (Settings>Lock Screen and Security>Other Security Settings>Pin Windows) and using it when still wanting to keep another app full screen is very beneficial! Once enabled, you can access the feature w/ the recents button as well. Just hold down on the app.

Any chance that someone can change the DPI to something and then back to stock (411) and see if everything (keyboard, AoD, etc) return back to stock too.

What I meant was, they do return back but I can't tell you definitively that every single setting is identical.

Apps showing through lockscreen

Some apps such as Magisk when you click on a module for the description, and contacts when you search for a name show on the lockscreen. This allows anyone picking up your phone to see what you're doing.
I'm curious to know of any other apps do this or if there is a way to prevent it.

Here is one example

It's a bug with the AOD module you're using and is mentioned in that thread.

Would you care to link it? I'm not using an Always On module. Have double tap to wake enabled only.

Happens to me as well, but it shows my home screen under the lockscreen. Happens maybe 25% of the time

That was my mistake. The layout in your screenshot is the typical AOD format. I use single tap, which just wakes up to the One Plus AOD display, the double tap wakes up just like pressing the power button.
The AOD mod uses the traditional AOSP AOD, which looks like what your screenshot is. But that mod has a bug where info is displayed. I've confirmed this while I was running the mod.
For you and others having this bug. Can you give a little info? What rom version are you running, and what launcher are you running?
Running 9.0.6 on T-Mobile, using lawnchair launcher. I can not recreate this. I can only recreate it while running the AOD mod.

9.0.6 global 6t, nova prime

I apologize for very little info in the OP, I was driving and didn't want to text too much lol.
Version 9.0.6 global.
Lawnchair launcher.
Only double tap to wake enabled.
Magisk modules: BusyBox, Greenify, iOS emojis, Universal GSM Doze, and YouTube Vanced black.
Those 2 situations are the only time I've been able to duplicate the issue. Never had it show my desktop like another person stated.

My assumption is it might be a bug in OOS then. Cause I've seen this with the AOD mod. The way the mod works is just enabling AOD that OnePlus disabled. The code is there, they just disable it and then add in their own. (The clock view when you pick up the phone or whatever).
The fact it happens with that mod, and it happens with users who are using double tap to wake (which wakes the device to the lock screen). It seems to be a bug with the lock screen.
I would try searching on the OnePlus forums for this bug. If you see a bunch of comments about it, it will at least be known it's an OOS bug and it'll be fixed at some point. Since most of those people will be running stock.
If you care about security, I would try single tap, and see if that resolves it until it's fixed.

To be clear, I'm not using double tap to wake. It happens when I press the power button.

Oops sorry

I can recreate this behavior everytime..
This happens with all apps that use the system share screen, example gallery app...open any picture ...press share icon on the bottom...share menu comes up...lock the device(power button)...press power to come to lockscreen and viola transparent lockscreen...
I am not rooted or unlocked, talking about stock device here 9.0.6...

Guys I think I figured this on out and would love you all to test it and confirm.
I'd been using a wallpaper set through the Google Wallpapers app and have been noticing the issue regularly with Magisk manager, Boost, and Google Home to name a few. After setting a wallpaper directly using an image through my Launcher (op Launcher) I was able to see that the issue was resolved.
Any time I set a wallpaper through backdrops, Google Wallpapers, Resplash, the issue returns.
Let me know what you guys find.

My wallpaper is simple black image through Nova Launcher and I was having this issue occur. It's very sporadic, I haven't found any clear pattern

Cube, see if you can set it through the stock Launcher or even use the Set As function in your gallery and see if you have the same result. I haven't had the problem since changing the way I set Wallpapers. Only crap thing about it is I can't use the pixel live Wallpapers I was using before.

Fix
Go to settings, look up app locker and select the hide all information tab.

Screen Offset

I have tried everything, changing screen resolution, DPI, screen zoom, etc. But I just cannot stop the screen from going below the bottom of the phone. Happening on the lockscreen and a few others, strange thing is does not happen on all apps.
Does anyone know how you stop this? Thank you.

Hi,
not sure it'll help, but under settings, there in the display settings is a option for "full screen apps"
Give it a try?

Did you try doing a factory reset

No I haven't done a factory reset as that is really the only issue, and everything else is running like a charm. Don t think it deserves hours of setting up again and no guarantees that it fixes the problem.

It's Lockstar causing that behaviour...
Give it up. Use the stock lockscreen.
That's what I did... Lockstar many times give me weird elements positioninig

Tried that, stock lock screen still does exactly the same. And it cuts off a few other app menus, but not all which is weird.

Strange thing I have noticed, I was playing a game waiting for the doctor yesterday, when I was called I switched off the screen without exiting the game. Later when I turned on the screen again all the icons were visible in the right places. Some kind of DPI graphics change when the game runs I imagine?

Found the issues causing this problem.
I enabled navigation gestures in settings rather than navigation buttons.
Fluid Navigation was set to hide navigation bar, I set this to do not hide.
Both the lockscreen and all other offsets no longer occur.
