[Q] Auto rotate screen not working - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I got Android Version 4.2.1, I have auto rotate set to on from Settings -> Accessibility, when I rotate it from portrait to landscape it is not working. But if any app gets oriented to landscape then I cannot rotate it back to portrait any more, it is getting locked.
Can someone please help me to figure out what is wrong?

Automatic sreen rotation depending on active app

Hello.
I am looking for an app,that will have a customized list of apps,activating them will the screen rotate to landscape orientation automaticly(default is in portrait).
Example:
I start Office(Spreadsheet app) and I want it to automaticaly rotate to landscape. If I close it or switch to something else(of course,that's not in the list),it should rotate to portrait,after returning to this app it should again switch to landscape. Exactly,as iReader does,which has this feature included,but with all apps in configurable list.
I hate the automatic rotation depending on the sensor,so I want to do it this way or maybe manually.
Thanks for your tips in advance.

[Q] Auto rotate not working

So my auto rotate is not working at all, apps that require landscape mode are fine and will rotate, but apps like youtube, any video viewing, or apps could run in landscape but are running in portrait because the autos rotate is not working. Can someone tell me what is up with my phone please? Thanks

Ticking the box in Settings >> Display >> Auto screen rotate will allow apps like Google browser and CarHome Ultra to automatically run in landscape mode. You can use an app like Screen Orientation to pull down (like Power Toggles) and set the orientation, i.e., fixed as landscape or portrait ... but it does not set to automatic.
For the first time in years, I am running a stock Android smartphone, and am disappointed at how little Google seem to have picked from the developers who have either cooked some terrific ROMS (e.g., CM) and kernels, or developed apps like PowerTools.
How could Google release a smartphone with their OS where the Settings >> Display >> Auto screen orientation does not work?
The stock launcher doesn't support auto rotation it rotates in some apps not all, Try installing Apex Launcher its in the play store. Then go to behavior settings/screen orientation set it to 'auto rotate'

APP rotation

Hey,
Doing a Nexus car mod at the present time and having issues with apps that are only designed for portrait mode being stretch into landscape mode rendering them useless.
In this example the app is ingress.
Is there a way to rotate an app into landscape mode but still keep in its portrait size so there would be black boxes on the left and right of the app?
Thanks for your help

I want to switch to Portrait Mode

When I'm not using my TV I want it to function as a portrait mode picture frame. I have it set on a mount that can rotate from landscape to portrait. I've tried most of the set rotation like apps that are available in the google store. They will rotate the screen to portrait, but then the shield will rotate the screen and add giant black bars to the side.
Is there any way to modify the code in the shield to prevent it from doing this?
