I'm using Tasker + Secure Settings to set a Pin Lock when i'm not connected to my home wifi.
The thing that I don't get is, that when I set the Pin manually the lockscreen switches between landscape and portrait mode. When Tasker/SecureSettings set the Pin it is somehow locked to Portrait mode, which is kind of a pain in the a** when you sit in the lecture holding it in portrait and always have to turn your tablet to unlock it.
Anyone knows an answer to this?
thx
Excuse me, solved it by myself
Rooted/installed Wanam xposed yesterday where lockscreen orientation is locked to portrait by default :silly:

i was wondering if there was a way to set a particular program to launch in landscape mode as opposed to the standard portrait. i think this would be handy for database files/programs that you just need to bring up and check information.
the particular program in question is KeePass. i sometimes just need to launch it and check a password for something, but in portrait mode, i cant quite fully see 3 columns and usually need to scroll sideways, but landscape would be perfect. unfortunately, i cant really just open the keyboard because the phone is usually in a holster...and i tried assigning the rotate screen function to a hardware button, but it turns it the wrong way. in either case, i was hoping to just cut out the extra step and have it launch sideways by default. any ideas?
I'm sure I'm not the only one who's experienced this, especially because there was a post about this 2 months ago ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=827657 ), but has anyone figured this out? Seems like sometimes I get a lockscreen formatted in a landscape mode, but normally I get itas the portrait mode.
No idea how to recreate the event, it seems to happen SOMETIMES when the screen locks as I'm using it in landscape mode, but then it quickly reverts back to portrait before I can do anything about it.
Any one have thoughts how to enable this every time?
Thanks!
I too have experienced this. I think it cause the lockscreen is actually created when you turn off your screen. Sent you are in landscape when you turn off the lock screen is created in landscape. When you turn on your phone it realize that the lockscreen should be in portrait. And recreates it.
Its configured that way from the lockscreen Java code. Its set to sense an orientation that isn't set by the rotation sensor. I'm not sure why it is set like that except for they only want landscape with a keyboard.

I would love to see this implemented in CM7
Alright, so I was setting up my ls990 and during the setup of everything (apps/widgets/screens/you know) I managed, or perhaps my phone managed, to simply stop displaying lock screen shortcuts. I know what you may be thinking, no, there are no passwords, knock codes, pins, locks, mods, extras, or anything that *could* cause this.
It's a simple swipe to unlock, that's it, there are shortcuts 'set' in the lock screen settings as you'd expect, but no matter what fiddling, swiping, or press-and-holding I try will bring them back. Every last combination of settings and lock screen fidgeting and 'oops I deleted the default circle lock screen widget thingy but found out how to bring it back and also learned how to set the default lock screen page that will show when I turn the screen on'-ing will make them show again... So after on and off and mostly on playing around with it over the last 10 hours or so, and seeing how it is now 5 am where I live, and certainly the tunnel vision has set in or I'm just plain ol' dumb and/or incapable of swiping my own buttons, I'd figure that somewhere in the population of LG g3 owning & xda browsing intelligental(wo)mens there could be somebody to set my plain ol' dumb button pushing straight.
Any ideas?

Well anything? Need smart people please, I'll consider this a bump.
Do you see the Emergency Call box at the bottom? I just had that same issue, and it appeared to be triggered by a lack of signal or going into roaming mode. Setting the device into Airplane Mode brought the shortcuts back for me. Here's exactly what I did:
1. Set the device into Airplane Mode (I used the shortcut from the notification shade).
2. Lock the device.
3. Hit the power button to bring up the lock screen. Verified shortcuts were there.
4. Shut off Airplane Mode (once again, used shortcut).
Let me know if that works...
I heard that the S9 should be able to have the home screen in landscape. However, "Home Screen" is grayed-out in my Display settings.
So, that's one issue.
Also, I actually want a Tasker Task that will force the phone into landscape. This is triggered by my car Bluetooth so that I can mount my phone horizontally. I don't want the phone to always rotate the home screen, I just want to force landscape when I connect to my car Bluetooth.
On my S6, I could use Rotation Locker in Tasker to force the phone into landscape. The home screen, wallpaper, and everything looked good.
On the S9, Rotation Locker does not work correctly. The wallpaper remains portrait. As soon as I pull down the notification shade, the phone switches to portrait - and it's locked into portrait for all apps! I have to switch the phone setting back to auto-rotate.
Pinch your homescreen, go to homescreen settings, scroll down and uncheck Portrait mode only! Homescreen will go landscape!
Actually, part of my issue might be because I'm using Nova Launcher. I was able to change it from "default" to "auto-rotate", and the home screen seems to rotate now. So, I think that question is probably answered.
Unfortunately, I still don't have a solution for my car mode Task. I only want the home screen to be in landscape if I'm connected to my car's Bluetooth. Rotation Locker still doesn't work correctly with the S9.
Same need here...
My P6 Pro is doesn't always auto rotate (it is enabled in QS) I'm rooted (Magisk 24.3), and am on April's FW. I am using Nova Launcher Prime v7.0.57. The other bug I have is: I have home screen folders with 8+ shortcut Icons inside. When I am in portrait mode, I can swipe up to scroll through the folder's icons, but when the phone is in landscape mode - the folders are not scrollable. only the first 6 icons are viewable Is this just me or anyone else with Nova Launcher Prime v7.0.57 can try this?
EDIT... Nova settings--> folder--> window-->immersive. fixed the folder scroll issue
but still have the auto rotate issue
I'm using Nova Launcher Prime v7.0.57, and one of my folders on my home screen (technically in my dock) that I have set to open the folder when I swipe up on works perfectly for me in landscape and portrait including scrolling to get to the additional items in the folder. Tried rebooting?
Edit: Disregard about the folder - I see you found the cause.
Regarding auto-rotate, I think my auto-rotate has been better than it used to be. It mostly affects me when I'm using Google Reader and it didn't always rotate in a timely manner - but I also haven't been reading lately. Rotating on images or videos have always been fine that I recall.
The auto rotate on my P6P is messing up sometimes too, but I'm on completely stock and unrooted. Fully update to date as well.
Sometimes when I rotate my phone into landscape mode it doesn't change, even if I wait a while, so then I rotate it back to portrait mode to try again but as I'm rotating it back to portrait mode it then momentarily DOES switch to landscape mode for a half second and then back into portrait mode since I'm now holding it in portrait mode.
Doesn't work when playing back videos for me.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
To add to what I said previously, you could long-press the auto-rotate Quick Setting tile, and if it's enabled by default, which I think it is, then you can disable "Face Detection", which is supposed to make it a smarter auto-rotate in case you're looking at the phone from a weird angle so that it only rotates when it makes sense to.
I turned that off some time ago although I may turn it back on eventually to see if it improved.
