hi,
sorry if this question has already been asnwered..
is there an app in which i can set which programm may use landscape mode?
i know there are lots of software which allow me to set the programs which should NOT use the rotation, but i just need it in very few applications so it would be much easier to define programs that are allowed to use rotation, instead of denying.
any ideas?
G-Config with a Whitelist for apps that should go into landscape will help you:

thanks for the quick answer. i will try it!
1. I didn't give the navbar much thought through the initial setup and now I cannot change where I want the Navigation buttons to go.
When I go to the settings page for the touch buttons, it only has options for adding pointless buttons and, for instance, not the settings button.
Do you know how I can get back to that original menu to add 4 buttons instead of 3?
2. Is there a way to change the clock on the lockscreen as it barely shows on anything other than dark wallpapers. On the G2, you could swipe sideways, add a page and then delete the standard clock, but this UI seems not to have that feature.
3. Is the only way to get full immersive mode with this rom to install an Xposed module?
This belongs in the Q&A section.

sorry about that, can a moderator move it for me?
I'd like to disable the touch keys that are taking up display real estate and have my Nexus 7 2013 be in permanent immersive mode or full screen mode. I'd like to use Pie Control instead to navigate my screen. Is it possible to disable them? I tried apps like Hide Soft Touch controls and they can be flaky switching back & forth between full screen and non-immersive mode. Is there a hack that can do this that doesn't affect system stability?

Unfortunately, it looks ridiculously complicated to install xposed. Wish there was a simple text file edit of build.prop as described in the last section of this site, but I can't find the system folder of my Nexus 7 and don't even know if it can be done this way.
Update: posting this in case others wanted to do this. Yes, the build.prop edit does work with a Nexus 7 2013. Just had a little trouble finding the System folder but with the help of ES Explorer, I persevered. Cheers.
So I'm a (mostly) happy owner of a new Tab S4 SM-T830 256 gb tablet. My old tablet was a 64 gb Tab S2. I was excited about the hardware upgrades. I use my tablet in place of a laptop, and was starting to notice the speed and memory lags.
I'm having problems with three "features"
1) No fingerprint scanner. I wear glasses. Strong glasses. Progressive lenses. I turned on Samsung Pass, but it isn't clear to me if this works with external apps (like my banking app), or just within the Samsung Internet Browser.
2) I use Nova Launcher. On the Tab S2, the dock bar stayed horizontal on the bottom of the display when you rotated the tablet. For the S4 the dock seems to be locked to the short side of the screen.
3) Multiple peaves with the floating navigation bar. I'd like it to lock to the short side of the screen, like hard buttons do. But it stays horizontal. It takes up a lot of expensive real estate - can I add other shortcut buttons to it? In the best of all worlds, could you make it part of the docking bar?
3A) This is the most annoying "feature". I use SwiftKey for my keyboard app. Even though I have the navigation bar set to hide, any time I pull up the keyboard, there is the navigation bar. Right under the space bar. I can't tell you how many times I've missed the space far and hit one of the navigation buttons.
3B) This may be due to the wide-screen format of the tablet, but when you bring up the keyboard in landscape, and add in a cm for the navigation bar, it takes up 3/4 of the screen.
Any other thoughts, tips, tricks for migrating from a Tab S2 to an S4 are appreciated!
Thanks,
Joe
I've been using Samsung Pass on my Note 9 and now on the Tab S4. It seems to work almost anywhere: Apps & Browser. Although, not consistently. Still better than nothing. I also have Lastpass and it is a little annoying that I can't use iris scanner for that, but it gives you the option to use a PIN on the S4, which helps a little.
I just installed an app called simple control (On the Playstore). I have heard it works well for the Nav Bar issue, but I haven't tried it yet.
I can't speak to the other issues though, as I'v only had the Tab for 2 days.
As already mentioned, I also use Lastpass. I disabled Samsung pass for now as with Lastpass I can use on multiple devices. As far as the dock in Nova, not sure what's going on with that. I also find that annoying that it doesn't rotate either, thus I got rid of it. I just disabled it and placed my common icons right on the desktop. Then I added a shortcut icon to open the App Drawer. It rotates, so kind of like having the dock. In regards to the Navigation bar, try Samsung's One Handed Operation App in the Galaxy Store. It's a nice alternative to the Navigation bar. I wasn't sure I would like it at first but now use it exclusively. Thus I also now hide the standard Nav bar.

I use Samsung Pass & LastPass in conjuction.
So far both works perfectly on any apps & website.
I used to use Nova Launcher but in this Tab S4, I skip it because I think it has everything I need...and I also installed some apps to give more functional effects.
Those apps are: Rotation Control, Blockada & Internet Speed Meter
But if you really want a floating NavBar you can just activate its built in Floating Navbar called Assistant Menu
It's located in the Accessibility>Dexterity and interaction section
A & B : I don't use Swiftkey, but I use Samsung Keyboard in conjuction with Tab S4 Keyboard Cover.
You can resize Samsung Keyboard to your liking and if you use Tab S4 for typing I recommend you buy its Keyboard cover as it is a very good physical keyboard.
I hope my answer helps & if you still have any questions just ask me.
Solution for #2

I managed to solve this with the help of another thread . You need to go to the Display settings for the device and change the zoom to the smallest value. You'll find that the dock will now show at the bottom when you switch to landscape.
Thank you so much! That fixed the dock! I appreciate you taking the time to point out the post I missed!
Take care,
Joe

Hi guys, do you know if is it possible to use different keyboard for small and large display via Tasker or any other app? For example I want to use default Samsung keyboard for the small screen and Swiftkey for large screen.
yes it is. You can use Tasker to actually switch launchers when unfolded... read this..I'm sure it came from here at some point haha. https://www.reddit.com/r/GalaxyFold...en_density/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x
