[Q] Q: Home Screen does not rotate even after upgrading to 4.1.2 - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have verified that the rotate lock is not active. Also, I am using Nova launcher as my default if that helps.
Has anyone else experienced this issue?

nova settings - look and feel - screen orientation - auto rotate

Perhaps your screen orientation lock is on - you need to turn it off? An easy way to find out would be that all apps will be in portrait mode – no matter how you tilt your screen.

Of you want rotating touchwiz, just install this app and set it in forced auto:

Thanks for the info, that's a nice feature! What are your overall thought on the app? Is it worth it and truly user friendly/stable? I've been watching this app with a lot of interest and think it may be time to shell out for it.

very smooth and fluid, better than the go launcher. Very good find.
Thnx a lot
I have a samsung car dock, and two things happen when I plug it in: SVoice pops up (on Kingdroid) and TW goes landscape after some applications (messing up with lock pattern not being visible).

I can fully recommend this app. It can lock the screen in the position you like. And it comes with a nice feature to preselect the rotation for certain apps. For example auto rotate for the camera.

I do use the same ROM - any customization of lock screen widgets natively are found at System Settings > My Device > Lock Screen > Lock Screen Widgets
If you want to regain the bottom shortcuts such as (Phone, Google, Messaging, etc) then make sure "Shortcuts" is checked.
If you're wanting the different 'pages' of widgets on the lock screen, make sure "Multiple Widgets" is selected.
But if you're running your own launcher that may have adjusted your lockscreen, I have no freaking idea.

[APP] App Swap, your favorites apps one swipe away

Your favorites apps one swipe away, from anywhere !
App Swap is a drawer which allow you to easily launch your applications. It works with your existing launcher (Google Now, Nova, Yahoo Aviate, Everything Me,...).
There are two ways to launch it, from your home screen or with a swipe up from your navigation bar. And swipe up gesture can be done from any app.
This app is optimal when the device have a on screen navigation bar, like the Nexus family.

If the activity from where you launch app swap auto rotate then it will rotate. Ex from Google Maps it will rotate, from the home screen it won't rotate.
However the landscape layout is still under progress, the display/layout is not correct for the moment.
looks great... installed it and whenever i swipe up, nothing appears, i have to actually click the icon for it to appear... fix?

Actually I have a bug with the App Swap first launch, it is taking few seconds (initializing app list, analyzing icons...). The next launches should be fine ... do you confirm ?
I plan to fix the first launch experience.

Palm Swipe Screen Capture Not Working

Just noticed that swiping to capture screen not working. It is ON in Advanced Features. Menu button + Power button does do a screen capture however. No change with different launchers.
Can anyone duplicate or recommend a fix? Thanks
Notice same thing it doesn't work
I got mine turned off usually, just turned it on for testing after I saw this thread, and it's working fine in both directions.
Is it not working sometimes? Or not at all?

Well I figured it out for my phone. I have the phone in a Caseology Wavelength case. Swipe Capture doesn't work. When I take the phone out of the case, swipe to capture works. I put the phone into a cheap clear gel case that I first got with the phone and swipe to capture works.. Very strange. Wonder what the case is doing to prevent the function.

what is this icon

Please see screenshot. What is the icon at the top between the Bluetooth icon and the alarm clock icon? I tried to draw a little arrow to point it out.

I have many homescreen screen shots to verify it was never on before today or at least the icon was never there.

You must of accidentally turned it on then.
I leave it on as I have NFC stickers to automate tasks. You can hide status bar icons with System UI Tuner from the Play Store after using a few adb commands.
