Hey mates,
So here's my problem:
Whenever I open a game, the screen rotates into portrait mode, so that the buttons are at the top and the ports on the right side.
From time to time it would be better for me to have it in the "other" portrait mode because of my case.
Any chance to realize this?

Seems that not every app forces me to take that side.
Any chance to enable the sensor for every app?

Been trying to do this also, never found a good answer. I believe it is up to each developer how the app deals with screen orientation.
You can force any app to rotate any way you want with Ultimate Rotation Control from the Play store. I used it until I flashed Paranoid Android ROM. It worked perfectly.

I just got my N7 today and noticed that barely any apps will go into landscape mode. Apps like settings, pulse and the play store just work much better for me in landscape and i can't get it to work. Also I am unable to get Nova launcher to give me a landscape home screen which would be so much nicer
Pulse works in landscape for me. Make sure you have the orientation unlocked in the notification window.

That's what that button did... Wow i feel stupid...
OK im sure this might be a dumb question....but I can't seem to View anything on my Nexus in landscape view...only portrait, anyone know how to adjust this?
If you pull the notification bar down there is a lock next to the date. You can also force it with an app like Rotation Locker from the market.

look up the one click rooting tool as it is the best way to do it. besides rooting your device it also installs cwm. with cwm you can flash roms and kernels to improve the look and performance of your N7.
quick boot is another excellent tool.
es file explorer is needed to edit the dpi on the N7. i prefer the dpi at 175 for a tablet ui on the N7. after you change the dpi go into settings and change text size to large and your good to go! happy rooting to you
cheers
Much of the Nexus 7 UI has been designed using portrait mode. With that being said, some apps will still rotate (if you have the rotation lock off which was already mentioned) but for the most part they intend you use portrait.

I see no lock next to the date. Just the icon for settings.

Although most of it works fine in landscape mode, I've used mine mostly locked in landscape mode since I got it without any issues.
The launcher is what is locked in portrait which screws everyone up. Try downloading a new launcher like Apex or Go Launcher. Most apps will rotate but a few will force themselves to portrait mode.

Is there anyway that you can get a landscape lock screen on the nexus 7? Do you have to be rooted or not because I'm not rooted.

Use one of the rotation apps, set orientation worked best for me, don't need to be rooted.
Call me an idiot..... but how do i access the Gallery app through the Camera app. I have to back out and launch the Gallery app?
I'm rooted running 4.2.1.
Thanks!
You swipe to the right

Doesn't work that way for me...only works swiping from right to left.
Either way, its rather un-intuitive. Most casual users wouldnt know this gesture and even then, it sometimes brings up the settings circle if you swipe at a bad angle.
Dang i really am an idiot..... Thanks guys!
Swiping right or left seems to work on my N4. Was relieved when I found this one out, as coming out of the camera app then going into the gallery app seemed very long winded.
When I bought my Nexus 7 it came with the instruction manual as an ebook, but the N4 didn't come with one (unless I havent found it yet).
hey guys
after updating my nexus 4 to kitkat using the factory image,when i switch into landscape mode while im task manager,the very first picture is cut off. are u guys experiencing this too? In my screenshot its the googlemail app. its always the one near the softkeys. using stock launcher (not gel)

Yeah I noticed mine have it too, seems like a bug that Google need to fix.
