Nexus 7 Won't go back to portrait mode... - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I need help, I updated to the most recent 4.1.2? i believe. whatever is the most recent build. I updated it last week and today..I can't change it back to portrait mode. It's just in landscape. I unlocked the screen lock and I restarted my device multiple times, but it's always landscape..

Is t just the home screen or the entire device?

Home screen..

Some launchers, e.g. Apex, have settings to force a given orientation. Does your launcher have that feature set?

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.

GN7 screen off/on widget?

First, just did the OTA 4.2 upgrade and all is well... These tablets are KILLER for the $$. The only thing I have issues with is the power/volume rockers being so close together. Any apps/widgets or other suggestions for turning the tablet screen on and off without using the physical buttons?

Dunno what app can do it but I do know a magnet can.

Jklsr55, I've found this one to turn the screen off.
I haven't tried it though.

Does anyone has a way i might have missed to move the navbar to the side?

If you're up to flashing a ROM, try paranoidandroid. They've brought back tab ui and also allow you to set the ui and DPI for each app independently.

FWIW... I'm on Thundercat from 12/27/2013 and it has a Nav Bar Left/Right/Center option. The ROM performs perfectly for me, too.

There are root apps that accomplish the same thing.
