Docked mode broken? - Nintendo Switch Questions & Answers

Hi guys, until recently when I docked the Switch running Android10 I'd see an exact copy of what was on the screen on my TV- just like when you dock the Switch normally.
Recently, though, when I dock the Switch I get a new homescreen on my TV- it's a single screen with a settings cog at the bottom left and an app drawer at the bottom right. It uses the same wallpaper as the standard launcher but all of my shortcuts are missing. Is there any way to go back to how things used to be? I've attached a photo of what's showing up on the TV now.

Its the Desktop Mode.
You can turn it off in the developer settings.

Changing Color on Dock Screen

I've recently purchased a Dock from eBay and when I pop my Nexus One onto it, the phone doesn't recognize that it's a dock (which is no biggy).
I would goto the Clock Application, and leave it sitting on the dock for a couple of minutes (it will display my wallpaper, with the time and current weather). A couple of minutes later, everything disappears and only the time/date would appear.
The time is displayed in a Cyan/Blueish color - I'm using Cyanogen 6.0 (RC3) and I have modified my notifications/time/date color codes, but have changed everything back to WHITE.
Does anyone know how to change the color, or is it something that cannot be changed?
As far as I can tell there is no way too change it. Would be pretty cool if there was a way though.
Try opening the clock app, switching to the alarm (click the clock in the bottom left), then open settings with the menu key.
Last option changes the screensaver clock color...
Hope I understood you correctly?

Push the clock app from an older CM.

Solved Wallpaper / landscape problem

I have been trying off and on for several months to get my scenic wallpaper to show up properly when I go to landscape orientation. For some reason, the bottom half or even two-thirds of the photos got cut off. (Portrait mode was great!)
Last night I tried a new (to me) launcher called GO Launcher Ex. I use Wall Switch to change my wallpaper and there, in landscape mode, my wallpaper was suddenly displaying correctly! (Portrait mode still looks great.) I switched back to ZEAM, which I had been using, and landscape was screwed up again. I am using 1200x1024 resolution and made no other changes - no resizing, etc. I have no idea why this launcher does it right, but for those who are still looking for a solution, you might want to try this.

CM11 nightly- Interface is flipped/mirrored can't fix? (screenshots)

I was going through my settings customising my new ROM all of a sudden my navigation buttons were switched around (back button on the right) my clock and battery indicator are now on the top LEFT (see screenshot) and everything else is flipped to the left too, almost like a left handed mode. In chrome the interface is flipped too, can't figure it out.
Here are a couple of screenshots, this is a relatively fresh install, as far as I know I didnt toggle any settings to change my interface to this.

Navigation Bar gone, now I have a gap

So I used GMD in the play store to disable the navigation bar on my S8+ to further enjoy the infinity screen but now I have a gap at the bottom of my dock where it used to be. (See image) I am using nova prime as my launcher. Anyway to get rid of this gap?
try setting Nova launcher as Full screen in phone Settings > Display > Fullscreen apps
Thanks for the suggestion but didn't work.
Android is still trying to take into account the navbar even if it isn't there. I'd image it some systemUI app setting or something else within the OS.
I have mine setup to be immersive all the time and all launchers I've tried act the same. Not much of an issue for me.

Best to use the manual ADB way. No gaps
Use Shortcutter, which has an Immersive Mode switch that goes in the quick settings.
Then enable it to write settings via adb command:
Code:
adb shell pm grant com.leedroid.shortcutter android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
Then, in the Configure Services/Tiles tab, in the Immersive Mode section, select "Show Mode Selector". This makes it so every time you select Immersive Mode, it will allow you to pick between hiding nav bar only, hiding status bar only, or hiding both. The benefit of using Shortcutter is that you get that switch in quick settings, so you can switch between having both bars, either one, or neither at any time (such as when you hand the phone to a friend and they can't figure out how to use the phone ).
Personally, I select to hide both, and use a notifications widget on my desktop to look at notifications, and enjoy a huuuge display for everything I want to read or chat.
Examples:
desktop - notifications go in the blank space in the middle

Auto Rotate Icon has disappeared

My auto rotate icon has disappeared from my notification panel and is missing from the available choices when I edit the list. I've cleared data from Touchwiz Home. I've re-enabled all packages (Disabler Pro) but to no avail. Any other ideas? I am not rooted.
Attached is a screen shot of my options.
Did you restart your device?
Try to turn it off and then on again. I know it sounds stupid and in most cases, it works.
Have you done right scroll, that applies to upper and lower part of available shortcuts. It should be there. But in case you're out of luck, use shortcutter app
It's a wonder what a night's sleep can do. I looked at the screenshot again with fresh eyes and am feeling really silly. "Portrait" is the option which is the other half of "auto rotate." I guess I was expecting the same icon and perhaps a more recognizable label.
