How to rotate on long press like in WM

I don't like the auto rotate and have disabled it. Is there a way to rotate on long press of a button like in the Energy ROM for windows mobile

Found an auto rotate which stays on the status bar. Good but not yet perfect

Home button

Hello.
I have a question regarding the home button.
Whenever i press it, it always leads to home screen 1.
It would me much nicer if i could change this to a home screen
in the middle, like for instance 4.
How do i change that. Any ideas?
Thanks

It cannot be done on touch wiz, which is the default skin. The home button always takes it to screen one. You can use another launcher such a launcher pro and assign screen four as your home screen.

You could also exchange screen one with scream four, in the minimized screens view.

[Q] Back Button

Windows 8 is being designed for tablet. It lacks back button and makes it difficult to be used on pc. My idea is can anyone make a onscreen back button just like Android ICS?

Move your cursor to the top left of the screen... You'll see the last app you were in and you can click on it. If you move your cursor to the top left of the screen and wait for the little preview window to pop up and then move the cursor to the bottom a bit all the programs currently running will show up. Doesn't get much easier then that I'd say!

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
but that is not perfect replacement for back button?

[Q] killing tasks?

On my n7 i press the right hand side button and it opens a task manager on the g2 it opens an options menu.
how do i kill tasks or better still get more of a stock android experience without rooting?

Long press home button.

Or you can mod the nav bar to do it the old way. Or you can use hide soft keys app to do it and more
