Landscape view on homescreens.

Can this be done? Is it on in ROMS other than stock? Why would it ever be disabled anyway.

Use apex or Nova launchers. No idea why anyone would stick with the touch wiz launcher

There is a mod in theme/mod section, but it may not work with ota.

That's it? It's the stupid touchwiz that causes this issue?!

Worked!!! It's called "Ultimate rotation control"
I like the Nova launcher too...it's very fast. But I somehow lost the Accuweather time widget when I went to Nova. I tried to get it form the market but it doesn't look the same. Wife's phone so I can't justify changing the appearance that much for rotations sake. Otherwise, if I could have put the same exact Accuweather widget back on, I think I would have left Nova on.
Edit: Spoke to soon. Ultimate is only free for 7 days.
2nd Edit: Found another one called "Rotation locker"

I like Holo Launcher HD. No lag, customizable, more options (like auto rotate) plus you can still use the Note 2 touchwiz widgets if you want.

I tried the Holo launcher and still couldn't find that stupid accuweather widget. Sigh.
I ended up going with Novo launcher and finding a different weather widget from the Playstore.

That's what I did. I changed over to Nova Launcher and also Fancy Widgets to use a weather clock/widget.
I did like the Weather clock on Touchwiz but what bothered me was , having used HTC Sense for quite a while, I am used to touching the time and going to the alarm, but with Touch Wiz, no matter where I touched, I'd goto weather.

I used Apex launcher on stock. It helped until I got a phone call in my car with the phone docked. The Phone app doesn't want to rotate! :/

If you're rooted....check out the MOD TW 360 rotation
I'm running rooted deoxed TW with multi view and the MOD worked fine.

I have another widget I found which is very very nice. I don't think it let's you go to alarm by touching the time though.

Fancy Widgets let you set what program got called depending on what you pressed but I couldn't find a widget that I was happy with.
I ended up using HD Widgets and and used one of their weather clocks. While it doesn't let you specify the programs for where you touch, it has a very nice weather page built in(even allows you to select int weather ino provider) that works when you touch any of the weather and goes to the alarm when you touch the time.
So I'm using Nova Launcher, HD Widgets and also Android Pro Widgets for things like a Timeline widget(I was using APW on Touchwiz too).

touchwiz vs nova vs apex

which one would you recommend? pro and con of each?
i really like touchwiz annimation when opening up app drawer. And the touchwiz widget
i tried apex on s3 and it was smooth but it doesnt include the touchwidget widget like the calender month and the weather widget
is there a way to get the touchwiz widget on apex or nova?

Why would you want someone to ditate your life? lol
Give me death or give me liberty lol

Nova and apex are almost the same but it has gesture support, wider range grid and has support for icon packs to change the looks of icons and no. No touchwiz widget on third party launchers

I used nova over stock, never used apex. However when sliding between homescreens there would ALWAYS be a lag upon the first swipe to a not yet visited screen, which bothered me a lot but eventually decided to just root and flash a cm10 based rom. Still would prefer nova over touchwiz, especially allowing the ability to modify the transition speed, makes it feel much snappier. Apex may have the same settings though.

Apex vs Touchwiz Power Consumption
From My Power Consumption statistics:
Apex Launcher
Time of display on: 20m Time of CPU in use 9s
Touchwiz home
Time of display on: 28m Time of CPU in use 4s
Apperently, Apex consumes much more battery accourding these stats.

You could get Google's calendar widget, which is as good or better than Touchwiz'. Also you could get fancy widgets for weather, or weatherbug, or accuweather.
I'm using Holo launcher by the way. I think there's not too much difference between any of them.

I use Nova, works great. Never used Apex so I cant say. Touchwiz is okay but I dont really like it.

I use Apex. I just need a grid that's at least 6 tall by 5 wide.
I tried Nova, too, and they are indeed almost the same. Nova did some things better but I switched back to Nova because of the app drawer - infinite scrolling within a tab. It was just too annoying to not have it with Nova.

Since S2 i am on apex. Never thought of looking another option .
For widgets there are alot of options in play store.

I use Xperia more smooth to me second favourite is nova consume less battery to the others

Tw app drawer

Is there a mod to move app drawer to the middle on tw launcher sorry if I missed it some were else have looked till my eyes hurt
I know I can use alternate launcher but I want tw widgets
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium

Unfortunately no , please correct me if im wrong.
Nova Launcher Prime, with Jorte (calender app) & Transparent clock & weather are the replacement TW widgets

Ive been to note 1 and theres no famous mod for this untill now. You can use launchers in the playstore but then you loose touchwiz

Anyone have a modded Google search widget 5x1?

I would like to have a Google search widget that stretches to 5x1. The only one I have stretches to 4x1 in Touchwiz. Anyone have something like this? A Zooper or UCCW skin will do, too.
Thanks.

Can't you just resize it? I have 5 columns on my desktop using Nova, and it lets me resize the search bar to 5x1. If your current launcher cant do it, try one of the alternatives.

[Q] [Zooper/Nova] Adding appdrawer shortcut to widget.

I am creating my personal theme with Zooper Pro and Nova launcher.
There is one thing i can't find how to do it. I'd like to add a shortcut to the app drawer (of Nova) as an onTap-action for my widget.
The reason for this is that i'd like to get rid of the Nova dock.
How can i do this?

Hi,
Choose Nova Launcher from Shortcuts, you are then presented with a list of Nova actions, App Drawer being one of them.
Regards Mark.

Sorry to hijack but can this feature be done with Themer launcher? I keep looking in the list of shortcuts but for the life of me I cant seem to find how to do it.

Thanks a lot. Works like a charm now.
I didn't know you get more options when you choose Nova launcher in shortcuts.
@jonnyg1097,
Doesn't Themer use widgets from Zooper to combine them into a theme? Maybe you can add a Zooper widget to your theme.
