It's the way it's supposed to work, they can't be rotated, at least not without some modifications.
The Home screen does rotate when you put the phone in the dock that barely no one has-.-

That is one of my issues, when its in the dock, like Sony presents its own product

The dock was included in the package when i bought the phone, looks awkward when it doesnt rotate in the dock, not the end of the world, but still

awesome!!!! you da man!
I will have to try this when I get home. I especially like the idea of being able to hit the menu button (rather than the recessed power button) to turn the phone on, if that is indeed true.
My lockscreen courtesy of Widget Locker. You can add more sliders for specific things that you wan't to go straight to bypassing the lock. When you close out that app, it automatically locks the screen.

Desktop Visualizer problem

I am fairly new to rooting/flashing roms and basically to this whole scene.
I have done my fair share of sticky reading and browsing, but I am still pretty noob.
anyways. I have a problem on my captivate. every time i turn it off and turn it back on, set desktop visualizer widgets on my home screens become an android icon with a ? on alot of them, but before i had rebooted my desktop visualizer widgets had pictures on them.... weirdly all the newly formed android ? icons still function as to what i wanted them to do.
any solutions?

resizing wallpaper

i usually dont change wallpapers for a really long time so im a little thrown off. i have a wallpaper, its 2000w X 1333h and im trying to set as my wallpaper and running nova launcher. not sure when it changed but i remember there being more options once you select the photo you want. now they have this interface that has a dotten line to measure the center and then options for left, middle and right. what happened to the full option or any others? reason being is I can't change how "zoomed" in this photo now appears as my wallpaper. im looking for the old set up which you can see in this photo, is it still doable?

Weather on Lockscreen??

Is it possible to get weather on the lockscreen, I dont even see 'lock screen' in Settings...I've tried various things but cannot get it to show is it cos I'm using fingerprints to unlock phone?) , unless it just doesn't/can't show weather on lockscreen?? anyone know, thanks
I have it on my case, official Huawei case with a small window.
Shows me the time,day and at the bottom weather and steps taken.
Just tried to get it on lock screen and can't seem to get it without the case.

Yes you can
If you install Accuweather from google store, you can put the weather on lockscreen.

Use the miui widget. It's even more comfortable - single tap.

I dont think there is an option to double tap to lock on the miui launcher. You could use a third party launcher for that, such as nova launcher or lawnchair, but the gestures will not work.
