Is there a way to set the home screen to rotate to landscape? I remember with the N7, before 4.1.2 we could edit build.prop. Is there anything similar w/ the N4?

To start, i have CM7 n176 installed on my Nook Color.
I like it so far but one thing I noticed is the lack of a "proper" rotation lock. I put proper in quotes because i am aware of the rotation lock that android has. The problem I have is that while I'm in landscape mode and want to lock it in landscape, i have to completely disable rotation to portrait in the menus. The rotation lock that android has (i have added it to the notification bar) automatically rotates back to portrait when enabled. Is there anyway to make the rotation lock in the notification bar function like the rotation lock on the iPad?
Could check out my thread on the agile lock free mod in themes. It will take you to my Dinc thread, and it has rotation in the menu.
I've enabled home screen rotation and true tablet UI as per http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1800042
However I haven't found a solution to lock the screen in landscape mode. I've tried several apps and widgets that claim to do that but none work on the N7. All they do is force the screen in portrait mode.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Maybe this will help..
Have home screen set to autorotate, then set your tablet to be autorotate on top via notification dropdown. Then put tablet in landscape mode by holding it that way. While its in landscape mode do to the notification bar (dropdown) and lock the rotation. It should stay landscape.
Great, that works. I hadn't thought to dig among the settings in the popup menu.
Twice today my n7 locked in landscape after using app that are in landscape. auto rotate is on. had to reboot to get rotation back??????? Antone else? Anyone know why or how to fix?
Was just wondering when charging on the stand, when i lay the phone vertically the contents from aod, to lock screen and touchwiz are all vertical.
So just think if i could possibly customize it so that it becomes more friendly for me.
I've been searching around and found the following to add to build.prop
Code:
log.tag.launcher_force_rotate=VERBOSE
lockscreen.rot_override=true
Does anyone know if this works or is there any other way?
Btw my phone is rooted
I use an app when I need to force landscape or portrait.

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?
