So I just rooted my new shield tablet got Google experience launcher installed and xposed but I can't seem to switch the orientation of the lockscreen it always switches to portrait no matter what I check.
What's the issue here?
I can rotate to either orientation as long as auto rotate is toggled on. All I have is root and nova launcher.

I've searched everywhere for this one, maybe the API doesn't support it:
I hate auto rotate and I always have it set to off.
But when I'm typing, the landscape mode is very comfortable.
Is there an app that enabled auto-rotate ONLY for when the keyboard is displayed on screen?
I've seen other apps that control auto rotate (force/auto/off) per app - but the keyboard is not a standard app...
Thanks
I don't see why it wouldn't be possible... couldn't a system-wide app just run a check to determine the state of the soft keyboard?

Hi all,
I've tried Power Toggles and similar from the Play Store, but none of them actually access the same rotation toggle as the Samsung ICS control, which you can stop rotation at any orientation.
Anyone had any better luck? Most of the toggles I tried just totally didn't work. GMD Smart Rotate allows rotation but when it gets disabled the display always goes back to stock Portrait (so it can't be held in the last-held orientation).
Hi,
Stock unrooted UK Moto G on 4.4.2 using Apex Pro Launcher - Auto rotate checked in Settings and Apex Settings, but doesn't seem to be anyway to enable auto rotate for the lockscreen (I use the device in landscape in the car and am bothered by the side ways album art ).
Is there a way to enable this without rooting?
With the module App Settings for Xposed I could put the home screen launcher landscape when I turned the phone. In 5.1.1 it does not work anymore. Can someone confirm?
I can't confirm because I don't use stock launcher. But launchers like Nova allow landscape mode natively, why not use one of them?
Hello,
I have a problem with display rotation, on Stock 8.0 i could lock in landscape rotation in apps (like browsers for example) via quicksettings toggle (tap once for auto rotate -> hold phone sideways (while browser open) -> tab toggle again, phone now locked in landscape mode. Ever since updating to 8.1 it wont stick to landscape mode, it will instantly go back to portrait orientation :/
Can anyone confirm if they can still use the quicksetting orientation toggle in the way i described above (anyone on 8.1)? Is it a unknown bug maybe?
I am not using stock kernel (due to magisk and safetynet) but testet it on two different kernels (currently on flash kernel).
Or does anyone know of a solution that does not require an additional app running/managing the rotation?
Thanks!
Edit: For anyone facing the same problem, i found a workaround. It's not perfect but has to do for now: Download "Tiles" from the Playstore (paid app), there one can add a toggle for rotation that toggles through all avaible orientations. It's still more annoying than a native toggle that sticks to landscape straigth away but at least it makes it possible to have an app stick to landscape orientation regardless of phone orientation.
