i keep getting this glitch with adw and it is throwing the dock on to the side like in the attachments. am trying to figure out what is causing this so i can keep it there. it is so much easier to launch apps from the dock. so i was wondering if anyone knows how to keep the dock there
p.s. sorry bout the screen forgot to set it up for colors
Turn off system persistence mode. This should fix it.
(That's if it is on, of course)

I used autoneuter and am running zeam launcher. I was pretty pissed the ipad had a switch for disabling screen rotation ( not anymore apparently) and wished there was some way to do it on my nook when laying down in bed reading.
I was messing with the screen and i found out touching the wifi/battery/clock area at the bottom right of the screen opens up Quick settings which has "wifi, mute, oreitnation, and brightness"!
I may be really slow but I was SUPER happy about this and wanted to share incase anyone else missed it.
I am not sure if this is part of autoneuter, zeam, or softkeys ( installed by autoneuter) but thought I'd share for those of you who don't know about it.
It's part of the stock B&N software.

As stated above its part of the B&N framework. Its actually a great setup except for its location. I love the notifications being a popup instead of a drag down.
BTW, there's a bunch of ways to get this same setting. In fact Extended Controls Widget has an orientation lock toggle that will handle that in one click if you want.
I can't find extended controls in the market... i've been using it on my Aria and wanted to use it for my nook too...?

Does anyone know of an application in which you can disable Auto-Rotation on just the Home Screen instead of disabling it altogether?
It disables the Auto-Rotation in all of your programs if you disable it in settings. This gets annoying if you go into your gallery.
Maybe there is a program that can change the auto rotation properties of specific apps.
Thanks for your help guys.

depends on what launcher you are using....what launcher are you using?
Beautiful widgets has a toggle widget for disabling/enabling auto rotation. But I'm pretty sure there's no app to apply rotation restrictions to specific apps. But search google and see if you can find anything. It also does depend on the launcher in some cases. Are you rooted, running 2.1/2.2/2.2.1 roms or anything?
This would be a great idea for someone to make into an app if it doesn't exist. I too would like to disable home screen rotation, but still be able to use the landscape keyboard and such in other apps without having to change the settings.
if you use a different launcher like launcher pro or adw, those settings are available to you. if you use froyo or gingerbread launcher, it doesnt rotate.
I guess I didn't make myself clear enough. I run the stock 2.2 launcher and I prefer it over LP and ADW. I know I am able to completely turn Auto-Rotate on or off, but I would just need it off for the home screen (maybe the browser and messaging too). It gets annoying turning it off and going into the gallery and not being able to view in landscape mode. I also don't want to have to continuously be toggling a widget or going into my settings. I'm rooted, and I assume such a program would require full permissions.
I guess it hasn't been made yet.

stock 2.2 launcher? like the froyo launcher? or touchwiz?
We are in the Captivate thread, so... Touchwiz. It's the "stock" launcher of the Captivate.
Not that your question needed to be answered because it doesn't have any relation about what this thread is about.
If you're running 2.2, the pulldown menu at the top should have the auto rotation toggle in it. It's really not that much of a hassle. Swipe down. Disable. Swipe the menu closed. Carry on about your business. If there's an app or one gets created, it's always going to be running in the background no matter if you have the "disable app" to work with one app or forty apps, and it's just gonna be lurking there in the bushes, getting ready to take your battery from behind with no lube. No lube at all.

wow. i apologize for trying to understand what you are running....you know, since 'STOCK' means different things around here....and it absolutely pertains to what this thread is about
carry on. sorry to be of some major burden to you....
Honestly, "stock" does have about 6 or 7 different meanings and implementations around here.
I dont know what you are necesarily refering to here, but what I would like is a widget or icon that I can put on my homescreen that would allow me to just move from auto sensor to portrait only for my homescreen, not the whole system. I know that it can be enabled through most launcher settings, like LP and ADW and GO Launcher, but if there were to be a shortcut to toggling this it would be awesome
Word to the wise. When asking other people a question you really want the answer to, don't act like an arrogant sob. Be it one sentence or an entire explanation. There taking time out to help you. Take me for instance. I was going to dig pretty hard for a solution to this partly for you and partly for a friend that likes stock over lp. But after reading all your posts you just come off as an obnoxious brat. Of the two of you Im only going to give the solution i find (if any) to one of you. Take a wild guess at who won't get it.
All I was getting at is he's asking these questions when I was just wondering if there was an app that would stop the home screen from auto rotating but leave everything else defaulting.
It's a simple question. It has nothing to do with running a different launcher, I already know LP and ADW do such a thing, but I don't want to use them. That's why I was asking.
I wasn't asking for a launcher, I was asking for a background app like "Keep the Lights on" or "Set CPU."
I'm sorry for coming off as "arrogant" or a "snob" but he's digging too deep, asking questions he doesn't need the answer to. As well, his questions came off kind of rude to me. That's probably why I responded the way I did.
Anyways: Simple app that stops home screen rotation.
Smart Rotator (SmartDog Studio HK) and Smart Auto-Rotate (Asteri Software) are possible solutions.
Enough of the Off Topic posts and rudeness, I will not tolerate it.
Also to solve the problem, not sure if this is available on the Captivate, there is an extra button you can enable in the Power Control widget that allows you to lock the screen vertically.
HI!
I am using my Touchpad with CM9 in my bedroom. It is always in the Touchstone Dock
I like to have the TP permanent go to Dock Mode instead to turn Screen off.
Is this possible?

Try installing Tasker and set up a context of on charge to open the clock app. It should be fairly straightforward.
HI!
Tried a lot but nothing really works with tasker.
Could you please explain it a little more detailed?
Maybe I did something wrong...
Moved to Q&A, please read here for what should be posted in development section.
HI!
Is Tasker able to start an App like Dock Clock after 1 Min. of not using the TP?
Dam it!
I bet there is a Parameter to execute an App when Display went off. Found a Parameter %DTOUT but how does it work for me??
Goes the wrong way I think..... but how to revert it? If Display went of start the app dock clock?
Dam it (2)!
Okay, there is a Profile "Display off"
in that case I start the Task "Starting App Dock Clock"
But it wont work if Display went off........ why?
Not working with ICS??
I run mad!
Edit3:
Near to shoot myself
In the Clock / Taskmanager it shows "no active Profiles"
But I hocked them......
I'd like to have my TP display news, weather, Facebook feed or other interesting things while in the dock. What is the best way to do this? I am new to android. I just installed CM11 4.4.4 on my TP and love it.
Can I install and customize widgets and that display automatically when docked?
Thanks!
I've played around with this for awhile now and have a working solution. This may be common knowledge to some, but as a newb I had to cobble together info from several places to get the results I wanted. Here's what I did.
First, enable custom widgets in Personalization, lock screen
Press and hold on your home screen and select Widgets. There are a bunch included in CM but you can get more in the play store. Set up your widgets how yuou like them. I have Email, news, and a time/weather one set up.
Now get Dock no op and Stay Alive from the play store. Dockno op will tell the tablet to do nothing when you dock it. Stay alive keeps the screen on. There are lots of options in Stay Alive but I just used "keep screen on while charging". I also unchecked Allow screen to dim.
I tried turning on developer options (tap 7 times in Settings, About tablet, Build number) and checking the setting the Stay Awake option. It kept the screen on, but it still dimmed after 30 seconds.
Now I can keep my HP TP on the dock on my desk all day and it will stay on.
Sorry to keep replying to my own thread, but someone may find this helpful.
Now I am a bit worried about screen burn in since it is on my home page 18 hours a day on the dock. Can anyone suggest an app that will move the screen around periodically, or maybe schedule screen inversion, or color changes? Or is there a way to rotate between two home screens with different content?
Weird, in the home screen, when i move my an app right above the dock just right above it, it doesnt stay there but went straight down to the dock? anyone has this same issue? it was working fine on my s8+, tablet, both imported with the same save settings.
It happened to me once. In my case I had an e-mail widget that was taking up most of the page. Visually it looked like there should be enough space to put an icon above the dock, but it wasn't until I shrunk the widget that I was able to correctly add the icon. Hope this helps

I think you can go into Nova setting, under Desktop, either go to Advanced and turn on "Widget overlap" or under Desktop grid and check "Subgrid Positioning". I guess you can resize it too.
Hmm, im not using any widget, just a simple plain screen though. Tried Widget overlap, subgrid positioning was already enabled from previous settings and resizing, issue still remain.
