add this to your build.prop file in /system/build.prop/ and reboot..
launcher.force_enable_rotation=true

is there a ROM or launcher that looks like tablet mode on landscape? but then looks like phone mode on portrait?
i've tried Paranoid Android, and it puts tablet mode in both orientations.

AOKP menu button in tablet ui

I am running the latest AOKP in tablet UI mode and hate the menu button. I am wondering if there is a way to change to the three dots.

Should be able to swap it for what you want in the systemui/res/drawable-hdpi folder I would imagine.

Did a google search and came to this thread. Thanks for the help!

You will have to download the launcher yourself. Here's the link- http://www.mediafire.com/?3ina0fd8fwki5fo

Installed this so big thanks to gnotelover, but one question.. How can I add more homescreens?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk
Select an app or widget, and then move it to the right of the home screen and keep going. A new screen will appear.

You need to move the icon to the edge of the screen to the right, hold it there for a little. It should automatically take you to a new screen.
Thanks guys, human error... I was trying to do it with a widget, but it works with an app, not a widget..

Is this Google Now Launcher the same as the 0.10.1.920880?
Or what is the version number for this new one?

Maybe it's just me, but I tried the launcher and find it pretty lame.

Thanks Jhall8. Do you also happen to know how to stretch wallpapers too? I can't get any wallpaper to fill up the screen even very large high def images.

You're welcome. Try this app for wallpaper sizing.

Thanks again. I've tried that already but didn't bode well with my favorite walls. Tried clearing data in Google search got rid of the black bar on the right of the wallpaper but stretched way too much. Oh well.
Can anyone confirm whether the latest version of Google Search and/or the latest Google Now launcher goes back to the 6 x6 grid that Google search version 3.1.8920880.arm had? Every time I tried updating to new Search version it cuts off one of the columns which throws my whole homescreen setup and wigets off. I think the updates cut it to only 5 columns
