I found out to day that you can download an app called orientation control. This app make your phone completely in landscape mode when you what it. You also can have it set to auto to switch when apps like the phone.apk doesnt fit on screen in landscape mode.
This apps forces the app to go into the mode you have set. It comes and handy sometimes. I like to use it because the sidekick 4g is a landscape device.
So for the people how want that the app the is on the market. ;-)

Thanks for this! I don't see why they didn't add this option in the first place since sidekicks were always In landscape mode.

Orientation Control by Coin Soft? That's a paid app. Any free apps to do the job?

This is exactly what i was looking for, with one exception, when I lock my sidekick in landscape, everything is in landscape except for the lockscreen, any ideas to keep the lockscreen in landscape too??
It just depends on the lockscreen you have, my lockscreen changes to landscape , so I much depend on the one you have.

Yeah i figured it out, if turn auto rotate on from the notification bar while using the app to lock phone in landscape, then my whole phone will be locked in landscape and my lockscreen will auto rotate, but that doesn't bother me.
My problem before was that my phone was locked in landscape, and my lockscreen was locked in portrait. but i resolved it.

I have used search..All morning. Not getting any useful answers using search so I asked. So anyone know how to remove stock lock screen? I heard that for some phones deleting the clock will also delete ur music app and mess up regular clock...hmm

Mod's: Please move if there is a better area for this request.
Suppose your significant other, boss, or teacher picks up your phone and they are curious about what's on your phone. Luckily for you, you remembered to set a password or pattern so no prying eyes can look at your info. But wouldn't you like to know who and when tried spying on you?
The idea I would like to share is for an app that would take a picture and time stamp of somebody incorrectly enters a password or pattern on the lockscreen. This app would silently take a pic with the front facing camera.
If I possessed the knowledge to write an app myself, I would and sell this app in the market. Just wanted to share this idea to those of you who can make it happen.

That would be a sweet idea, but it would probably need to replace the lockscreen in a manner like WidgetLocker does.
That's a brilliant idea.
Eventually this app could include audio and video recordings along with a location fix.

Not sure if it would need to replace the whole lockscreen, The idea came, in part, from taking a screen cap of the lockscreen in MIUI. (The menu+vol down method)

A collegue of mine said there was already such an app, but he couldn't find it anymore. In an attempt to search for it I discovered this thread.
Does anybody have an idea if such an app has been created after this thread? Or know about the app my collegue talks about.
cool idea, will be interesting to see

I'm not sure if anyone else knows about this, but if you hold your finger on the status bar until the notification tray starts to open and then stops opening, you can slide your finger back and forth on the status bar to adjust brightness without going into your settings. I just found this out and thought it was cool and worth sharing

While the idea is nice, I find it a bit tedious. I'll go with a switch widget instead.
I have a Nexus 7 running CM10 and a XPLAY now running ICS, and i have just noticed that when you swipe the apps after long pressing, you just take the app off the list, but some still running...(like dead trigger and gamecih)
does someone knows a app/mod that force closes the app insted of just taking off the list, when you swipe it
thanks
If u go under developers options all the way at the bottom there's a setting that destroys all activities when the user leaves. That's kind of like it

Android 2.2 and up handles multitasking itself, you don't want to force close unless the app starts behaving erratically.

It doesn't get rid of it off the lock screen. Just doesn't tell me who it is, which is even more annoying
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda app-developers app
yea, i dont like the new ls either... i prefer the aosp one...
Use the message center lock screen widget. Its a single communication screen for all messages. Does that help?
Guys the problem is this - when you enable ""Preview Message" it enables it on the lockscreen, which is nice I guess, whatever. But, this also enables you to see who sent the message in the notification shade.
Now, when you turn it OFF it still shows it in the lockscreen AND the notification shade but doesn't tell you who it is.
The big issue with this is, if you have a lock-pattern or other security turned on WITH "Preview Message" turned on, then anyone can see the contents of the SMS on the lockscreen - BAD SECURITY. On AOSP, this did not behave in this manner. On AOSP you would receive the notification, but that's all I need to see "Hey I have an sms!" - I don't need to preview this if I have enabled security on my phone for the very reason of keeping prying eyes off my phone.

I was JUST going to post about that. I have some nosy ass girls who look over at my huge screen whenever they hear a beep or a buzz and I REALLY can't believe they wouldn't include a seperate option to NOT see the message preview from the lock screen.
It's nice to be able to preview it WHEN you slide the notification bar yourself but I don't need prying eyes on my lock screen.

im running apex launcher pro and rooted but even when i enable all the options , i get no notifications on my lockscreen , does it work with apex or only tw ?
I hate this lock screen too! It's so frustrating because I have long fingers, and I very often hit the clock when trying to swipe which just "grabs" the clock instead of unlocking the phone..
I am completely missing the point of widgets on your lock screen. I don't want them at all and I want to turn them off, but that's not an option. Why?? I want the screen to unlock whether I swipe the clock or a blank part of the screen!
Opening messages directly from the lock screen now is also a chore. Who thought to themselves that sliding a puzzle piece across the screen (or dragging your finger across an icon) to look at a message was too hard, and then came up with the current implementation? Click the message, then swipe your finger in a very specific part of the screen. Because that's intuitive.
We can have many home pages that have all of the widgets and icons we want on them. Why do we need an extra layer of them on our lock screens? If the lock screen weren't cumbersome to use, then shortcuts on the lock screen wouldn't be necessary because they wouldn't be saving any time.
The way the lock screen works really irritates me, and I honestly thought about just keeping my GS III because of it (and a couple of other things that are OT).
As cheesy as the slider lock screen on the iPhone is, one thing I really like about it is the ability to open the camera app directly without having to input my (corporate IT mandated) PIN to use it. That extra second or two wasted putting in my PIN on the S4 could mean I might miss a neat shot. It needs some tweaking, for sure.

No....just no...I hope your joking there are already enough threads talking about lag (which I still haven't experienced on my s4)
But yeah...once we get some roms cooking I'm sure devs will give us some better lockscreens...and probably even port the s3 lockscreen over
