Is it just me, but unless you use a password or gesture to secure your phone, then the lockscreen is redundant. Is there a Metamorph or .apk to remove it? I mean, tapping the top power button to wake, and THEN swiping the screen is super redundant

I was wondering if anyone knew of an app that would lock the screen rotation. Now, this isn't just a widget i'm looking for. I was hoping that you could lock/unlock screen rotation with the camera hard key. That way, you wouldn't need to see the notification bar or go back to the home screen or slow down the homescreen with a widget. You just hit the button, and it locks. Easy.
The spinning homescreen carousel thing is pretty irritating... when I unlock I want to be able to use my applications immediately.
No.

You can use the apps immediately, just touch the screen or press a capacitive button.
I'm hoping I'm not going crazy here, but I thought I recalled at one point that my Infinity had a feature that would allow me to slide a little lock icon at the bottom of the screen when in a fullscreen app that would "lock" the home/back/switcher buttons to prevent them from being accidentally pressed.
Anyone know where I can find this functionality or what it was called?
Thanks!
Settings -> ASUS customized settings -> System bar lock
I am using power toggles which creates a custom extension to the notification window when you pull the notifications down. Its useful for having quick toggle buttons. I notice that you can swipe it away and it will not come back unless you reopen the application. In other skins you cannot swipe it away it stays locked.
I'm trying to find the option to hide the visual indicators for touchscreen presses (those white bubbles that pop up under your finger where you press) while on the lockscreen - because what's the point of a passcode if you're literally showing people where you press lol. I could swear there was an option for it back on my Nexus but I'm not finding it on the Pixel 3. Anyone know where the option is / what it's called / if it's possible at all on Android Pie?
I don't think it's possible, maybe with root. You could use the fingerprint sensor and then people wouldn't see your password..
PIN/pattern is required after reboots or after you enter lockdown mode (hold power button and it is under power off/reboot).
