Hello im looking for something that will allow me to always enter next via landscape - i have tried changescreen but that didnt really work that well, it took ages for it to turn the screen on its side and would always change my lifestyle screen on its side despite telling the app that i wanted it always upright. im just looking for something that will allow me to enter text using the screen on its side - got any ideas?

Sounds like you didn't quite have changeScreen configured correctly, as it should work fine. Did you turn up the sensitivity all the way? Manila always in portrait? If it's giving you alot of trouble, you can always try gyrator (or GSen).
Try Flip it and make sure you have the 270 degree box ticked then you can enter txt via landscape

i tried all the setting and none worked how i wanted. yeah i want mobile shell only displayed in portrait but it always changes to landscape after sending messages which then takes ages to go back
The best way, in my opinion (after trying all different rotation apps and seeing how they crash the system all the time..), is to assign the long press call button (instead of voice dialing) to screen rotation. The only thing you need to do is enable (using Schaps' Advance Config 3.3) "Show Screen Orientation" and then go into Start->Settings->Personal->Buttons and assign "Button 1(Hold)" to "Rotate Screen".
After all my other attempts, I think this way you control when you want it to rotate and it is the best option..
Good luck..

sorry man. no other options then.
wktask works great for me.
rotate assigned to a horizontal swipe top right to left, perfect for texting or spreadsheets.
also has a nice program launcher too (I have this assigned to vertical swipe).

Hi all, I have a very easy problem, but i can't solve it ..
I need to block my PDA beacuse every time that a textmessage comes, ( and i have got it in my pocket) a lot of programs open accidentally.
How i can block my blackstone, when i switch off the monitor ? Does exist a program for me ?
Thanks Bye
I use AutoLock. It is great.
i have just installed it .. but i cant find it anywhere ..
does it works for win 6.5 ?
Yes, it is for 6.5. Go to Settings\System and you should see an icon for Smart Lock. Select (in addition to the one already ticked) to Lock on Suspend.
In addition I also apply the following tweaks to AutoLock
- a nice skin I use the Dusk skin
- I also apply the HeartofWolf delay fix (this moves the slide to the bottom of the screen and does fix the delay problem to a large extent.)
thanks guys !!

Use this for the delay fix instead (works perfectly and very simple/easy):

Thanks, I also came across that last night after this post and can confirm that it works even better than the HeartofWolf fix. The only issue I suppose is that one needs to remember to redo the fix each time one aligns the screen.
sorry but i have another little problem.. For example, when i'm using the tom tom navigator after 1 minute the screen goes black and "autolock" starts running.. Is there a solution to prevent this ?
Thanks in advance..

What settings have you chosen for lock? If set to Dim Lock, it will lock each time the screen dims. You will need to choose Suspend lock. You can also check the timing of your screen dims and suspend in Settings\System\Power\Advanced
After we got co0kie home tab.. Does it mean that we can use the S2U2?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=527523
Thanks.
Yeah.. You can always use S2U2.. But as it is not a HVGA version so QVGA Version might make you feel everything small. But, it will work perfectly.!!

Maybe you have made some mistake. Read this:

S2U2 is working fine with hd mini
increase "Text Size" in settings
To have bigger icons, unzip the attached files (gfx folder) to your s2u2 directory. It is not my work. I get it from xda, but i can't find the post anymore
For double lock issues, set "Replace WM6.5 system manual lock" to yes in settings, soft reset then launch s2u2. It should block the windows lock screen.
Hope it helps, I do not use s2u2 anymore. I have switched to cht lockscreen

Hey.. I tried your attachment.. But I didn't find any changes, SORRY.!!
What Icons were you concern of.?
This should work.
Changes are on the slider, notification icon and the popup when you click on one appointement or on a notification icon.
I will make a test later in the day when i have time

bsb tweak man works perfectly,i install it last night and wm lock screen is off
Hi there,
I'm using a Lock Screen app for ages now.
it's an app that turns off the screen without having to press the physical power button.
This one, for example: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=wq.lockscreen
The issue started since installing the lock screen app and now I can't unlock the phone using my finger print, but only using the pattern. I tried several apps now and none of them worked for me. Only when I uninstall the app the finger print function works flawlessly..
Does anyone here came across this king of issue and found a solution ?
Thanks, guys !

There is a setting for "Smart lock and Nexus imprint" Says Experimental. Works every time for me.
It's a mm issue, not your hardware or software.
The confirmed workaround is use root and nova prime gesture to lock ie double tap/swipe down or up etc. Nova launcher prime is on a sale now too, double goodness

I'm using Nova for along time now, i know there's an option to add a gesture in order to lock the screen, but it doesn't work like any other app i've tried. I don't have root yet on my device, but Nova hasn't asked me for root either.

I'm not sure how it works without root. Give it a try though. It works the same as other lock apps except you're using nova gestures in the home screen.
That's the problem here, all other lock apps can't make it work.
Iv'e tried with Nova now, same issue :\

Any app that offers a real screen off without lock function (which wouldn't interfere with Imprint) needs root to do so.
Nearly all of the apps that provide a screen off function without root use the same API method which by design or oversight on the part of Google overrides both Nexus Imprint unlocking and Smart Lock settings on 5.x devices.
There is a Google Issue tracker thread here - star if this design decision/oversight irritates you - https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=191955
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.iglint.android.screenlockpro has a working method but it is really just smoke and mirrors, not a true screen off action.
All it does is temporarily reduce the screen timeout to a minimum value (10 seconds) and sets a black screen overlay until the screen has naturally turned off. It works fine unless you invoke the shortcut and decide within 10 seconds that actually you wanted your screen on.
Nova can't do it with it's standard method either.

If you already use an automation app like Tasker or MacroDroid along with Secure Settings (I prefer MacroDroid) it's pretty easy to emulate the https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.iglint.android.screenlockpro workaround and add some extra functionality to cancel the delayed real screen off if you decide you want to interact with the device in the few seconds after activating
Basically the steps are:
Use Secure Settings to set screen timeout to 1 millisecond (this actually results in a 7 second screen time out)
Set brightness to minimum
Set a 100% screen dim
Set Immersive Mode (MacroDroid doesn't support this natively dunno about Tasker - but there are apps that support this via intent so doable).
Reverse the above when the Screen off system broadcast is received and on whatever trigger event you like - I've got a proximity sensor wave to wake set up anyway via MacroDroid so just use that.
Hi, every time I write a screen off memo it will not show on the AOD screen. Instead will go directly into a icon. If I tap twice the icon will appear for a brief time and then go back as icon.
The time it will stay on the screen will not be combined with the date/time.
Anyone has the same? Is it a problem of the settings or csc?
Tks

Yes, same here - direct to icon. I saw review videos where the screen off memo actually remains on the display along with the always-on screen. I tried every combination (i think) of always-on display and lockscreen notification settings, but never found a way to get it to stay.
On those same videos, by the way, the main settings screen looked very much like the one of the Note 5 and not at all like Grace UX, which is what i have. So i wonder if there are different software versions out there with some serious differences.
Maybe csc related ? mine is XSG.

If you go into the always on display settings and then about it should show you an update is available. After this is downloaded it is now working correctly.
Not sure why this did not ship on the phone or they make the update more obvious.

i didn't check that, but Galaxy App pushed an update of Always-on Display yesterday, and indeed now it works the way it should
Thanks. Update worked. I was wondering why it wasn't working.
