Thinking it would be useful to enable lockscreen rotation when the device is on its dock.
Found the good app:
Force Dock Rotation (it's free)
Just check "Plugged into a charger" in the app settings. No need to relaunch the app after.
I can confirm that this works well on a Z1 Compact using a DK32 magnetic charging dock without having to modify any settings in the app!
Thanks a lot
Sweet it works..I need it for my alarm clock

Is there a method by which I can auto-rotate the lock screen and/or dialer? I'm running Liberty3 2.0 and ADWLauncher.
Have you gone settings > display > auto-rotation? They should auto-rotate when the keyboard is open, but this will allow (for sure) the dialer to rotate once unlocked. I'm not sure if your lockscreen will even with it checked.
I have it set but when the KB is closed the dialer and lock screen don't rotate. I have a regular holder in my car, not a dock, and its pretty annoying when I call from my headset and the dialer comes up sideways :-/
There is a hack that allows you to do this. It hink there called power widgets or something. Also many of the custom roms have this

There's an app in the market called Smart Rotate which allows you to force rotation on individual applications.

How can I have the XZ's homescreen automatically rotate to landscape mode without using a different launcher? - Display settings for screen roatation doesn't help, as it only affects apps, not the homescreen. A tweak should be possible, as the homescreen automatically rotates to landscape when then XZ is plugged into the docking station.

I am using the default launcher and the homescreen automatically rotates for me when i plug it into the dock.
It also auto rotates if you plug MHL cable in.
Would be good to have auto rotate when you turn the phone.
Must be a way to do it.

try this app
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=gpc.myweb.hinet.net.RotationAnywhere
The app istn working for me. I would like to prefer the tweak in the build.prop or anywhere. I guess its doable.
It works.
Open the app and enable it.
Go to homescreen, expand status bar and click on Rotation Anywhere.
There u can set position of launcher.

the lockscreen and homescreen only rotates when you have it connected to the dock. Curently you cannot rotate the the lockscreen, homescreen and app menu screen. This is a restriction that the xperia home launcher has, you can install an alternative home launcher from the the play store if you want to have the rotate function. Development for this phone is slow at the moment because of the issues that arise when you unlock the bootloader, once Sony sorts this, im sure a dev will be able to enable the function.
Use Ultimate Rotation Control from the play store.
You can set a rule that it forces landscape while in dock. It's working perfectly for me.

thx this app good for big screen phone
I use the Hale Dreamer alarm clock app and dock. When the dock is plugged into the headphone jack, it auto launches the alarm clock app and allows the dock to control brightness and volume of the phone. I think it does this through a proprietary protocol through the microphone jack (the dock is TRRS). This is the companion app that I think makes it work: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sonrlabs.docksignal.
On the stock XT1096 ROM, the app launches fine and the control works through the dock. On CM12.1 or CM13 the app doesn't launch and there's no control from the dock. Does anyone have any advice on how to troubleshoot this? Would it make sense to capture the logcat on the stock ROM when the dock is plugged in to see what gets called? I haven't done that before, but it seems like a place to start, although I don't know what I would do with the info. I've searched and haven't found any other posts on this (anywhere). The company also hasn't responded to multiple support requests.
Hi there,
I tested a few apps for having a quick look on the clock/ lockscreen when taking the phone out of the pocket or with a wave gesture:
The only one that worked well for me with the pixel 3a was "WaveUp" from juanitobananas.
You can get it on F-Droid and playstore.
There are Tasker profiles which enable / disable AOD based on intercepting notifications from certain apps. It's not the same as Wave/Jedi gesture, but it does save battery by having AOD on only when notifications are there and kind of defeats the purpose of Wave gesture unless you use it to check time.
