Did a search on this but didn't find the answer I was looking for.
Is there a way to set my evo so that my homescreens are always in portrait mode but when I am on a web page or typing in a forum like this, landscape is available?
I just don't like landscape mode on my homescreens but do like it when typing. Is there an app that will allow the user to set landscape preference for each app?
EDIT** - Found an app in the market that lets you set auto rotation on the notification bar which isn't exactly what I was looking for but will do if nothing else is available. Don't want a homescreens toggle switch.
Its called Auto-rotate Status Bar and its free.

does any one have an idea how to do this without removing the camera.apk? I hate having apps in my app drawer that I don't/will never use... I am rooted with unlocked bootloader. thanks in advance...
or is there a replacement camera app I can use?
if anyone cares... I found the solution! I used rom toolbox and used advance freeze, and disabled mirror. easy.
you can disable any app i think within the settings>manage apps>all tab, then tap on the app and select disable.

The reason you don't see these is that the Android team moved the NFC enable/disable setting into the secure settings in 2.3.5. Prior to then there were a few NFC toggle widgets on the market. Now those apps would need WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS (so you're looking at only devices with root access willing to make your app a system app or JB+ devices where you can request it from the package manager with root access).

I don't think that there's a solution for automatic NFC turm om. What is more, it's not really safe.

I don't auto-turn on NFC. You can create an app that does this if you just have it request WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS and then either use root to grant that permission via the package manager or copy/move it to /system/app

System settings --> more --> nfc [check/uncheck]
Or..
system settings --> system --> quick settings panel --> tiles and layout --> add --> nfc, then its on your quick settings panel.
I too would like to see a way of turning the NFC on and off without the manual prompt - like you can with bluetooth.
It appears that you cant do this because its "unsafe" and because of this reason they've also made NFC not work while the screen is off although some crafty people have realized this kind of defeats the purpose of having NFC and for some phones they've enabled NFC to work with lock screen closed (see link)
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/activate-nfc-at-any-time/
I can kind of see how its unsafe to be able to turn it on without acknowledgement - but if you could setup a rule that required Root access then this should be a reasonable stop gap? You would then be able to setup a rule in say "automateit" for example so that the NFC turns on and off during certain times or after certain rules are activated or stopped - this would then kind of make safe because you can turn the NFC off and know for sure its off after certain events have occurred.
I know this is a very debatable subject but I think its a good subject to debate.
I use shortcutter app from play store. Although you have to grant the relevant permission via adb.
Hi all,
I uninstalled the secure folder because it is conflict with NOW launcher. the app drawer is not showing any app. Anyway to reinstall it?
Thanks.
Do you mean the secure folder? I don't think there is a way. They don't like each other. I've only been able to run either Google Now Launcher or My Secure folder. Uninstalling Secure folder should make the app drawer work properly. if it's not showing properly, you man need to reinstall the launcher.

Hi it is an add on app which is called secure folder. i uninstalled it and the app drawer for NOW launcher appears.
Check through your settings if there is an installation option. If not maybe the Samsung App Store?

If you want to re-install Secure Folders, go to Settings -> Lock Screen and security. Scroll down to where it says Secure Folders. This will put it back in.
However, Google Now Launcher will stop working. If you want to put back the TouchWiz, you can either uninstall Google Now, or go to Settings -> Applications. Select Default Applications in the upper right. Near the bottom is Home Screen, select that and change it back to TouchWiz.
Thanks all. Either now or secure. Sad

angka8, have you tried Nova Launcher? You can get it to look pretty much like Google Now if you want. It's pretty customizable. The only think you can't get is Swipe Left for Google now. You can have it activate other ways. Some people have it set when you swipe up. I have mine to activate when I press the Home button on the home screen. I'm a huge fan of Google Now, but was Nova was recommended to me. It looks exactly the same and Secure Folder works with it.
Strange, both are working fine together for me. I have no problem accessing my app drawer.

Not sure exactly what you are trying to achieve, but have you looked into certain "apphider" apps? they have app hider apps that install on your phone and actually need a pin you can create to access. It's almost like having another App drawer on your phone that is hidden and you can install apps into that hidden area. food for thought

Not sure why you guys dont look in the SECURITY section in the settings menu.
But my phone as a built in phone lock option, where you need the pin or pattern /fingerprint of the phone to open apps.
Also, there is a launcher option to change if you want an app drawer, or all apps on the desktop.
