Gallery would not rotate to landscape - AT&T Note 7 Questions & Answers

Hello.
Does anyone have this issue when gallery cannot be rotated to landscape mode, including image view?
The auto rotate is enabled, all other apps working fine, including camera app. Gallery shows only in portrait and when phone rotated it stays in portrait.
I've tried clear data of the gallery, also cleared all cache from recovery. That didn't help.
Any other ideas before I waste 6 hours of setting up the phone with factory reset?
Thank you.

Found what's causing it: Nova launcher with "Screen orientation" set to "Default" or "Force Portrait".
As soon as I set it to "Auto-rotate" the gallery started rotate as well.
Any ideas for a work around other then allow nova to rotate?

[Q] Setting a wallpaper in portrait mode from gallery

I want to be able to set a picture in portrait mode as my wallpaper without it turning into landscape mode. I see there is an option that lets the wallpaper not move when I switch screens but even after doing that, the picture is still only able to be set as landscape. (It's a picture from my gallery) I want the full picture on the screen without having to move screens or anything
HELP PLEASEEE
Never mind, I found out how and for any of you having the same question as well, download the app "Wallpaper set and save"

Locking screen rotation?

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.

[Q] Auto rotate not working

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

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'

screen doesn't rotate when looking at a picture in gallery but rotates gallery!

I could have sworn it was working before. Here's the problem...
When looking at a specific picture, the screen won't auto rotate, but when I go back to look at the gallery, it does rotate. Anyone else have this problem??
For example, I am looking for a picture in my gallery, I click on it to maximize, it does, but then doesn't rotate. , If I go back, it will rotate. Very frustrating!
