title says it all. i can't for the life of me find the setting to allow lockscreen rotation on my OPO. if i use my phone in my car, it's in landscape, and having a portrait oriented lockscreen just looks and feels silly.
okay, squirly squirts, i have it working.
if someone wants to make a quick script to just tap and go from here, just give me a thanks :good: and acknowledgement
it turns out that you need a stupid build.prop edit
go to /system
edit build.prop. you'll need an editor with root access and r/w privileges
add to the end of the file
Code:
log.tag.launcher_force_rotate=VERBOSE
lockscreen.rot_override=true
to the bottom.
save.
reboot.
there you go.:fingers-crossed:
I don't believe you can do it.

That's not the lockscreen, that's a home screen. Mine does that too. I'm talking about the lockscreen. At least, I'm assuming it isn't the lockscreen, considering it looks like it has a dialer on it. It sure isn't the lockscreen on 11s.
Sorry, I'm talking specifically about the custom slider for the OPO, not a boring ring slider, lol

Thats actually is the lockscreen with PIN lock. Oh I think you are using the custom CM11s lockscreen so it cannot rotate I think. Try disable the custom lockscreen?

Lol, that's what I don't want to do. I want this lockscreen to rotate. That's the point of the thread
hell, i've even disabled the stupid custom lockscreen, hoping i could get the regular stock lockscreen to work in landscape. no such luck using gravity box with supersu (pro), using gravity box. wtf? what the emm effing eff? it's killing me, smalls

of course. using supersu for superuser access. it says it's on. never works. not once. not on the 'custom lockscreen' (which i prefer), nor without custom checked.
effing thing. i don't want to have to flash the thing from scratch, but i might this weekend, if nobody comes up with a solution that works.
in fact, using apex launcher, i can get homescreens to rotate, but not lock. using trebuchet, i can't even get homescreens to rotate, using exact same settings. effing ridiculous

Thats because the auto rotate is dependent on the launcher app. Trebuchet doesn't offer as much settings out of the box.
Lock screen does not allow landscape. Thats just how it is.

An easier solution is to download the set orientation app from Google play. It allows rotation in all screens including lock screen.

Hi,
Is there any way to change the lockscreen apps? I changed my dock apps to chrome, but my lockscreen still has the stock internet app listed. I tried disabling the Internet app and then the shortcut disappeared in the lockscreen. I re-enabled it however the shortcut never comes back so now I just have a blank spot in my lockscreen. I have tried dirty flashing the rom again but that didn't seem to help. Please advise. Thanks.

Are you using a custom launcher? You have to change the dock apps in Sense in order to change the lockscreen.

Hey guys. I wanted to share this. I use Nova launcher so I don't have the ability to Knock Off from my home screen. I have been trying to use the knock off on the status bar and it's just never right. I always ended up clicking and opening settings, or it just didn't work. When your phone is laying on its back with the rear buttons we have sometimes you may want to turn it off without using the hardware buttons.

I have disabled the quick settings with Xposed and use power toggles instead. It's great for adding a screen lock to the status bar and also torch. I just wanted to share that set up. Screen lock works EVERY time.

If you're using nova wouldn't it be easier to install a screen off app and set double tap gesture to that app, that's what I do and it works perfectly.

Well, I already use Power Toggles. I hate the stock Quick Settings. I tried that idea but then Nova Launcher just opens another app and I still have to click something in that app. So, having a quick setting in Power Toggles is easier for me.

Just like James as stated. I use Nova Launcher Prime and didn't want to lose the Knock On/Off feature.
So I installed Screen Off And Lock:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.katecca.screenofflock
Under Gestures, assign the Double Tap to this Application. You can still hide the App within the App Drawer so no one would be the wiser.
you can also set a long press action to a nav-bar icon to lock screen with G2 exposed. thats what i use rather than knockoff.
Using this one with Nova Prime gesture. I see absolutely no need to have an app bigger than 50KB for such a simple task and this one is like 20KB and does the job perfectly. Keep it tiny and simple is my moto :laugh:

Kudos to you, works perfectly and no additional battery drain
I second the "Screen Off and Lock" app from the Play Store. Assign that to the Double Tap gesture in Nova Prime. Boom. Just like stock. Quick and painless. I hide the App from the Drawer and forget all about it.
This allows you to double tap anywhere in the launcher or Status Bar to turn off the screen. Best way to do it.

I would think it would work with any launcher that supports gestures. You just set the gesture to trigger knock off.

Alright.Unfortunately i think GNow Launcher doesn't support gestures
Yea it will work with any launcher that supports double tap. I've always used Nova Prime so it was a no brainer. I used to use Double Tap for the app drawer and delete the drawer icon from the dock. I like screen off better though.
Hi, i currently have a nexus 5 rootrd with CyanogenMod 11. When i press the unlock button on my nexus i have a pin so it comes up with the keypad. Is there anyway to change this so it doesn't come up with thr keypad by default?
Any help would be appreciated!

What do you want it to be? The slider?
Some ROMs have an option to show the slider on a secure lockscreen. Can't remember if CM does.

If it's in the rom its usually in settings > Security and there should be an option, something like "show slider before secure unlock".

Does anyone know of a way to hide the dots of the pattern lock, as well as the "draw pattern to unlock"? I'd like to make a completely blank pattern lock lockscreen so that you have to know where the dots are to even try. Thanks!

I believe gravitybox can hide it with lockscreen tweaks. You will need xposed framework installed and then grab gravity box for your operating system(mm or nougat or oreo)

It works fine on my note 5 and s6e+, but I installed it and looked and I am mistaken. It shows or hides the line when the pattern is wrong.
I've got gravitybox on my S7, and while some options don't work, it's never caused any issues. Currently using quite a few options in it.
Hi guys.
Is there away to have the brightness slider in the QS menu so I don't have too pull down twice to adjust my brightness?
Thanks, I am unable to find an option or mod on Google to do it
If you are rooted with xposed you can get it so you just use the status bar as the brightness slider. This is the only solution I know of.
Unfortunately I'm not rooted, although I've thought about it, I usually root every phone I have.

Probably the only way to do it would be with root. Might even just need a substratum theme. Although not sure about that. I love this phone rooted, although I didn't use it on stock at all.
This magisk rom allows the slider on top
Okay well looks like I might need to root to achieve it.
You can also do a Two-finger swipe down gesture on the notification bar.
