I just got a nexus 7 and I want to know if there is a way to have it set to automatic landscape screen or rotation as soon as I rotate the actual physical nexus 7 tab?

Once you unlock auto rotation it should just work...

It was not supported in 4.1.1 but in 4.1.2 what you've said is supported.. Soooo just update..

Hmmm weird, mine is 4.1.2 but its still not working... maybe i should root it?

Check settings-display-rotation settings. It is not about rooting..

And now i just feel like a dumbass.... the screen rotation was lock at the status bar lol
Appreciate the help though

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.

Do you mean the home screen? If yes, you would need to put it in tablet ui to have it landscape.

Yes, you are missing the hundred or so other threads about this.
The home screen does not rotate unless you use a different launcher or an app like rotation locker.

[Q] Screen Flickering & DPI mod

Had my Nexus 7 for 24 hours know & its amazing but the I've only just noticed that sometimes my screen flickers & I have to lock & unlocked my nexus 7 to stop it, is this due to the DPI mod I'm using to give me a TabletUI or is this a fault?
Thanks in advance
Seems like its a problem regarding tegra 3 devices. It should be fixed in a rom update eventually.

Take the brightness control out of Auto and see if it helps

Mine seems to flicker only when using Tapatalk. I haven't seen it do this on the home screen, browser or when playing games at all but every time I use tapatalk I see it at least once.
*edit* I also remember seeing it flicker when using the Facebook app.

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

Nexus 7 Won't go back to portrait mode...

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?
