Screen rotation

[hardindp]

I find it odd that this is missing when it woks on all other Android and tablet devices! I know there are hacks, but come on Google!

I would hope that Google gives us home screen rotation in a future update.

Don't have ever to miss it. Just download Ultimate Rotate app from Google Play. Little laggy at times but gets the job done.

Ya, I voted 'a lot' but I went with Ultimate Rotate as my first app.  So actually I *would* miss it 'a lot'...

I tried Ultimate Rotate and I didn't care for the overhead, plus isn't it like $3 to use after 7 days?  Honestly it's not a huge deal for me, but if I ever find a good landscape dock that uses the Pogo pins I'll probably look again so the home screen isn't sideways when docked.

There is a setting that allows auto rotation for apps that permit it (some do not, usually games). User Guide P. 14. Sincere question: Am I missing the point?

[JayJ]

I must be missing the point too then because apps that autorotate usually need to be that at and I prefer a free customizable launcher that can rotate my homescreen rather than me paying for an app that doesn't good any interest to me.

With you on this JayJ. Things that need to rotate do, can live with locked portrait mode on Home. I don't spend a lot of time on that screen.

Nova launcher was one of the first apps I installed and haven't looked back.

[RDJW]

Thanks, Frank. I hadn't seen that app. Might give it a try.

If your Nexus 7 is rooted, you can safely edit your build.prop file to fix your home screen rotation and eliminate overhead and cost of a rotation app. I will try to find time to post a tutorial later today.

That would be very cool, S. Prime.

[radiocycle]

Yes!
