are you having problems with rotation on 4.4 TW? My rotation does not work unless I am watching a video or something. So under SMS it does not rotate when I turn the phone.

nah...I actually like touchwiz.......
But thanks either way

I think no values for portrait mode on kitkat same as 4.3.. using my note2 (with note3 pack).. can make it happen with some modification and force auto rotate.. ref HERE

[Q] Rotate homescreen?

I thought the 4.1.2 update was supposed to give the ability to rotate the homescreen?
I have 4.2 and I can't rotate it 90 degrees or 180.

Afaik, rotating the stock homescreen is a feature offered by custom ROMs only.
I believe this only applies to it running on the nexus 7. There is an ultimate rotation control app you can buy to do it with the stock launcher or you can use nova launcher to do it on the gnex.
Well the functionality has always been there but they won't ever activate it on a phone, as it makes no sense whatsoever. the update did however activate it on the nexus 7.
Edit
build.prop
And add this line at the bottom.
launcher.force_enable_rotation=true
And just restart your phone.

Screen rotation in 4.2

I don't understand why if i disable screen rotation no apps (ie gogle maps) will rotate!!! Is it possible to have the screen rotation in the apps and not in the home screen?? Is it a bug in 4.2?? Before the upgrade my home screen did not rotate but the apps did. >Why now is different?
Thank you
If you turn auto rotation off, then you won't see auto rotation(obviously)... That is supposed to happen, and always have(that is what that setting is for).
Your homescreen, however, is not supposed to rotate at all, and if it does, I'd have to ask you, whether you are actually running the stock rom or some custom rom, and whether, you are using a different launcher? All of these things could course your homescreen to rotate(on purpose obviously).

Actually I'm using a custom ROM and no launchers but it's almost like a stock, it's the Rigel R6. Sorry but the screen rotation added to the 4.2 what is supposed to do? Before 4.2 there was no screen rotation but the apps were rotating.. now there is the screen rotation and also the Home screen rotate
What is the "stock behavior" of the screen rotation???
Thank you so much!!

there is absolutely no change in screen rotation pattern in 4.2 as far as Galaxy Nexus is concerned.
4.2 only brought changes in screen rotation for tablets. Phones have exactly same behavior as they had in 4.1.2

Yea then it is definitely your rom... This has nothing to do with android as such.
Also it seems like you are confusing a couple of things, but anyway nothing changed in the screen rotation behaviour. Meaning that you will have to ask in the ROM thread if there is a setting specifically for homescreen rotation, and otherwise you will just have to use another rom.

Well it doesn't because I have been trying to get the auto rotate feature to work like it did for me in 4.1.2 and it doesn't...

[Q] Rotation question

Hello, Samsung users! I have a question for you..
I wonder what happens if you open an app that has fixed rotation and then split the screen to open another app that supports both rotations.. What happens when device is rotated? And what happens if you open the same apps in different order and rotate the device? And what if you open a fixed portrait app and a fixed landscape app?
I just don't know how Samsung handles that kind of weird problems
Anyone? I don't need any solution to any problem! I'm just curious about how Samsung handled rotation for different apps!

As far as I know there are no programs without rotation for the multiwindow. Not in stock 4.1.2. So Samsung solved this problem before it begins
So, they forced rotation for all apps? ._.

No. There are only apps with rotation feature. You can't put an app to the multiwindow sidebar wich can't rotate.
So they restrict user experience.... Nice!
Thanks for your replies, Tryunus!

I just did root, and rotation used the Ultimate Rotation Control otherwise did not do anything in the UI. I am using the original Optimus UI.

The stock launcher does not support rotation, it is also why the screen will not rotate without third party software (like Ultimate Rotation Control).
So Ultimate Rotation Control is why everything looks messed up.
THX for the answer
Yes, I know about the locked rotation, but the rom 4.1.2 (if I remember correctly) functioned normally also used in my S2 and was normal, some form of APP by correction or something that can be done.

Stop rotation when landscape app is minimized.

Hi, my problem is that everytime I exit an app from landscape mode using the swipe gesture the entire phone would momentarily be in landscape before reverting back to portrait mode. This is really annoying, is there a way Samsung could fix this and let me go back to my homescreen without having it rotated?

Would the GoodLock work? I use gestures but I dont like the back gesture that Samsung has baked in. I use the samsung goodlock app along with the module one hand operation to activate the android back gesture.
