Does your homescreen rotate? I thought they fixed that in 4.1??? The homescreen on my N7 rotates. Why doesn't it rotate on the X?

Do you have "Auto-rotate screen" checked in the display options?

yes. everything else rotates fine. just the homescreen/app drawer. this was a known miss for several versions, which I thought was remedied.

That is a feature only for tablets. Quite frankly, it would be annoying on phones, but if you want it, Nova launcher.
Download an alternate launcher such as Nova or Apex and you can enable auto rotate on the home screen launcher.

dammit. i hate launchers. i never got the draw. even when i was a victim of the heavy-hand of Blur, launchers never did it for me. i suppose the old method of modifying a parameter of a file requires root. can't really remember the technical details.
anyway, with the USB on the bottom and the headphones on the top, not having a homescreen (or potentially even the active notifications screen) that rotates kind of sucks.
EDIT: that's right... edit the build.prop file, add the line:
launcher.force_enable_rotation=true

I've been trying to figure this out too, but all I want to rotate is the active display.
do you think something like "active display.force_enable_rotation=true" would work?
Hate launchers? Get my xperia launcher & fix.
I really like the GEL. my only gripe is the lack of rotation on the active display and the persistent google search bar.

I hate the default swipe lockscreen, I want the normal swipe one from AOSP where I can pick between several apps to launch from the lockscreen.
Where do I get that? Is it available on the App Store, or as an apk?

Rename /system/app/XperiaLockScreen.apk to XperiaLockScreen.apk.bak or move the file to your sdcard.
It's that simple.
EDIT: Didn't see that you wanted the shortcuts. That will need some work. Not sure you will be able to get a replacement like that.
And the Lockscreen Widgets, yes... Holo Locker will give me the shortcuts, but not the widgets, and the default will give me the widgets and not the shortcuts.
Why the hell would Sony disable the shortcuts like this without adding any functions? "Value added" my ass.

You could try this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=42808283&postcount=3
Although the guide is for 4.1.2, it should also work for 4.2.2.
I'm not talking from experience here, because I haven't tried it, but this seems to be what you're looking for?
EDIT: If you can upload your framework-res.apk, I can probably try to do this for you.
Great, thanks! I'll try later, and I might ask you to do it for me if I can't figure it out.

It does, but the lockscreen music controls no longer work, so I don't know if that's because that just how it is (i.e you need to manually add the widget) or if applying the same code broke it, but this is how mine looks...

Is there a way or am I searching it wrong to put the launcher on the left side when in landscape mode? Looking for an app mod or anything? I'm not sure where else to ask this question and I didn't see it while searching.
What do you mean launcher? Launcher is all your home screens and app drawer.. Did you mean dock?
He means nav bar...
Never seen one myself, but perhaps try pie controls? Not the same but let's you swipe you nav controls onto the screen from top/bott/left/right depending om settings.
Again, not directly what you ask for but will let you operate nav buttons with that left hand.
Easiest would be to lookup lmt pie controls 2.5 here on xda, or Google and look for the xda link. You will need root.
Oh, I forgot about nav bars. I've used pie for so long, I forget nav bars even exist. Nasty, screen real-estate grabbing, pointless buttons of crap
Sorry guys im an idiot... II did mean the dock/nav bar where your app launcher and such are. Pie is great but not really what im looking for.

Sorry, dock and nav bar are 2 different things.. Which one do you mean? Can you screen shot?
..or do you mean both?

Ok that is dock.
Again, this might not be something you want but I remove my dock and use glovebox to swipe in from the left.. It's always left though even in portrait.. Then it auto hides.
I'm not aware of a mod to change the dock in stock launcher. I'm not aware of any 3rd party launcher that does it. Can't see a setting on nova.
Hmm good stuff, I wonder if there would be a way to make it persistent but that just might do.
Turn your phone in the opposite direction so the volume/power buttons point down?
I noticed that in landscape mode, bringing up the dock behaves as if the phone has capacitive nav nav keys instead of the onscreen softkeys. Not the most clear photo but on the middle icon the overlap can be seen.
Anyone else got this going on or is there some setting that I'm missing?

Mine doesn't do that.
Reset Nova settings, confirm it works then redo your settings.
You must have edited your padding settings, although just checked and I couldn't replicate. So many settings in Nova so must be something you did.
I'll check it out, I actually restored settings from a U11 now that I think of it lol. That does have capacitive keys...
Can't believe this is the kind if noob mistake I'd make having been here since touch pro 1 -_-

Hm still doing it. Lemme clarify that if I already have the dock out and then rotate,it doesn't do this. It only does it if I have toggle dock mapped to a swipe and I use the gesture to toggle the dock in landscape.

Tested and can confirm that specific "use case" does produce output as per your screenshot.
A small oversight/quirk - notify Nova and they will fix it.
For now, simply rotate back to portrait then back to landscape.
Hi, it's not really a S10 related problem, but the Nova support isn't answering my E-Mail for a week so I wanted to ask here if there's any solution for this:

The wallpaper on Nova's home screen is getting zoomed in, no matter with which app I set it.
On the lockscreen of One UI it looks good.
It's both the same file in 3040x1440.
Wallpaper scrolling in Nova settings is disabled.
Is there any solution for this?
Nova stiil has support on Google+ until that goes away on April 2. Nova also has a Discord community where you can ask, https://discord.gg/sVg9j4J
That would be the best place to ask as this obviously isn't an S10 question.
I talked with the Nova support and they said that this is a Samsung issue and they're not able to fix this at the moment.
Samsung did some changes with the S10 and One UI and it seems that nobody know what they did exactly.
I'm wondering that I'm the only one who noticed this.
Try to add 2 or 3 homescreen and delete them...
One thing I noticed was that you can pinch to zoom while setting the wallpaper in Nova. Had one paper get applied zoomed and that was the reason, accidentally zoomed it myself. Otherwise, it doesn't appear to be doing any automatic zooming of my wallpapers.

Did you compare it when you set the exact same wallpaper for lockscreen and homescreen?
With some images this may not be easy to see but I tried different images and everytime it's zoomed in.
I also tried to zoom out on wallpaper selecting, but it is completely zoomed out. I can see the difference immediately when I set the wallpaper.
The Nova developers are sitting there with S10 and S10+ and can reproduce this issue and don't even have a clue why this is a thing on those devices.
Hi -
To solve this issue, swithc back to your Samsung ONe ui launcher, then set the wallpaper you would like UNTICK the motion effect box, and then switch back to novalauncher, it should be fixed!

Thanks! This worked great!
This seems like it should be VERY simple, but I can't figure it out... I just want to have weather displayed on my lock screen and always on display.
I went into Settings - Lock Screen - FaceWidgets - selected Weather, and the "show on Always on Display" option -- no luck.
Suggestions? I must be missing something...
S10 on TMobile
Would also like to know... haven't been able to find out how.
Their implementation blows. On AOD, you have to double tap the time then scroll. On Lock screen, you have to scroll the time. Makes it pretty worthless.

You can change the order.
It's kind of in a strange settings under lockscreen-face widgets.
At least then you don't have to swipe 5 times
