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.

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.
So we all know the Nexus 4 camera rotates the ENTIRE screen (not just the button orientation) when you go from portrait to landscape. Well, I installed widgetsoid so I can have a custom notification bar widget, a flashlight on the homescreen, and the ability to disable the rotation sensor. Well, on 4.2.2 stock, if the rotation sensor is disabled and you open the camera, the screen won't rotate, but the pictures will be right side up at any orientation!
TL;DR. Disable screen rotation, take a picture. No more screen rotation delay.
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?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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
