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.

Ok so I couldn't find anyone having the same issue in the Leedroid rom thread, so I figured I would ask here.
Does anyone elses screen freeze on the app drawer or home screens and only unfreezes when you pull the notification bar down?
I have tried turning the screen off and then back on and going into the app drawer changing the home screen (only freezes when I get to that point).
It doesn't happen all the time either. And it has been happening since the phone was stock and even now as it is rooted. I'm trying to say, I will press power button, slide lock ring, enter pattern, screen will show up, try to spin to another home screen but screen will not move, touch buttons work and volume works and power works but screen will not move. Press app drqwer and it opens but will not move either.....drag the notification bar down and everything works again.....
In case somebody wants to use widgetlocker but doesn´t because you can unlock by pressing the home button:
Set the LCD Density to 319, that doesn´t destroy the backgrounds in S-Memo and everything else seems to be unaffected as well. But - for whatever reason - widgetlocker doesn´t unlock with the home button any more.
Why don't you just go into Widgetlocker advanced settings, select 'Homehelper', activate 'Homehelper Component' then activate 'Homehelper block home'.
Then the home button will no longer unlock the phone
Widgetlocker now works properly with the right settings to prevent home screen unlocking.
Density has nothing whatsoever to do with it, I wonder whether you updated to Widgetlocker recently or reinstalled/retried it recently because the home button behaviour was fixed a couple of updates ago.
I would have loved to see if home button did not wake up the screen.
I know about Homehelper, I am at 320 right now, Homehelper is on, there are no updates available for Widgetlocker and the home button unlocks.
Ok, forget what I wrote, reinstall fixed it.
Hello,
Is it possible to assign the return key to lock the screen?
I can not find the option.
On Desire HD it was possible to assign the research key.
Good morning everyone,
I am looking for a widget or tweak that makes it easy to put the phone to sleep other than having to tap the status bar twice. Something I can put down below to avoid having to mess with the status bar every time I want to shut off the screen. Let me know if you guys have any suggestions! Thanks guys.
Depending on whether your launcher has gestures, you can download Screen Off & Lock.

I'm using Nova Launcher with a double tap on home screen gesture to both Sleep the phone & Hibernate apps with Greenify.

If you are talking about the knock feature, you can just leave an empty shortcut spot anywhere on your screen and double tap that spot.
Not sure if this is what you're looking for, but I just discovered over the weekend that if I hold down the Home button, it not only shuts off my screen, but also locks the phone so that it requires my swipe pattern to access it again.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Thanks. I did it and was given several options to choose as default (Google Search, nothing, Greenify+Lock, etc). I opted for the long press to Greenify option. This is great.
Is there a way to turn off these lock screen short cuts or edit them?
this is not possible!
You can change the lockscreen with design app.
But unfortunately, other lock-secreens can not show notifications!
Only "magazin" is able to do.
Hi. I'm new to Nova Launcher. I have a Samsung phone and I'm using Nova to replace "Samsung Home Experience" which I guess used to be Touchwiz. One of the things I don't like about the Samsung Launcher is that my home screen is sensitive to long presses to the very edges of the screen. I can't disable that. So it's easy to long press by accident at the edges of the screen with your hand when holding the phone. When you do, the home screen switcher mode is activated. Then you have to press screen to bring home screen back to top. Annoying.
One of the the reasons I became interested in Nova launcher is because you can lock the home screen. So I did that. However, whenever a long press takes place on the home screen, a message stating the screen has been locked pops up... Can I disable this notification since I know that the screen is locked since I set it this way? This way my hand won't set off the notification, just like it did with the home screen switcher? Thanks.
