I've enabled home screen rotation and true tablet UI as per http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1800042
However I haven't found a solution to lock the screen in landscape mode. I've tried several apps and widgets that claim to do that but none work on the N7. All they do is force the screen in portrait mode.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Maybe this will help..
Have home screen set to autorotate, then set your tablet to be autorotate on top via notification dropdown. Then put tablet in landscape mode by holding it that way. While its in landscape mode do to the notification bar (dropdown) and lock the rotation. It should stay landscape.
Great, that works. I hadn't thought to dig among the settings in the popup menu.

To start, i have CM7 n176 installed on my Nook Color.
I like it so far but one thing I noticed is the lack of a "proper" rotation lock. I put proper in quotes because i am aware of the rotation lock that android has. The problem I have is that while I'm in landscape mode and want to lock it in landscape, i have to completely disable rotation to portrait in the menus. The rotation lock that android has (i have added it to the notification bar) automatically rotates back to portrait when enabled. Is there anyway to make the rotation lock in the notification bar function like the rotation lock on the iPad?
Could check out my thread on the agile lock free mod in themes. It will take you to my Dinc thread, and it has rotation in the menu.
So my auto rotate is not working at all, apps that require landscape mode are fine and will rotate, but apps like youtube, any video viewing, or apps could run in landscape but are running in portrait because the autos rotate is not working. Can someone tell me what is up with my phone please? Thanks
Go to settings,display and make sure auto-rotate screen is ticked.

Ticking the box in Settings >> Display >> Auto screen rotate will allow apps like Google browser and CarHome Ultra to automatically run in landscape mode. You can use an app like Screen Orientation to pull down (like Power Toggles) and set the orientation, i.e., fixed as landscape or portrait ... but it does not set to automatic.
For the first time in years, I am running a stock Android smartphone, and am disappointed at how little Google seem to have picked from the developers who have either cooked some terrific ROMS (e.g., CM) and kernels, or developed apps like PowerTools.
How could Google release a smartphone with their OS where the Settings >> Display >> Auto screen orientation does not work?
The stock launcher doesn't support auto rotation it rotates in some apps not all, Try installing Apex Launcher its in the play store. Then go to behavior settings/screen orientation set it to 'auto rotate'
I would like to be able to rotate my home screens and lock screen to landscape mode. I've tried Ultimate Rotation Control, but it squishes my clock/weather widget, cuts off 1 of the 5 apps in the system tray and displays only half of the lock screen image.
So, how can I get true rotation of the home and lock screens while scaling widgets and lock screen image properly? I'm not rooted if that matters. Is there am app or maybe a replacement launcher that works this way?
Thanks.
Using CM12.1.
Rotation lock in the quick settings menu has two modes, "auto-rotate" and "portrait". There seems to be no way to lock in landscape - if in landscape when locking rotation, it reverts to portrait and then locks.
With my nexus 4, the quick settings rotation lock has "rotation locked" and "auto-rotate", locking in landscape works.
Is there any way to get the same functionality working in the quick settings menu on the note 4?
I have the T-Mobile OP6T and I have a small bug I'd like others to test. I like the OnePlus navigation gestures, but I got used to Android Pie's pill on the pixel and I really loved the auto rotate suggestion that pops up in the navbar.
When I have the Android pie navbar enabled, I turn off auto rotate and the suggestions work when I turn the phone landscape or portrait. As soon as I lock the phone and unlock it again, auto rotate is turned on by itself. Can anyone else reproduce this issue?

Nope, using Pie Navbar, turn off auto rotate....go to Chrome...landscape(phone gives rotate suggestion), press rotate suggestion for landscape, turn off/on....phone opens to chrome ...portrait mode (no auto rotate)
I restarted a couple times and my issue didn't correct itself. So I turned on the OnePlus navigation gestures, turned off auto rotate, enabled pie navbar, rebooted and now it stuck. Sorry for making a useless thread, I was just curious if anyone had my issue and it was frustrating me
