is it correct that the screen rotation should only be vertical, or horizontal with buttons on right hand side - i.e. it won't rotate if you hold it horizontally with buttons on left hand side? Or is it app specific?

As factory standard this is how all HTC phones seem to come. Some Apps will add more functionality in them though so you can rotate any way
is there a way to make the Lock screen switch to landscape mode?
it's just unsightly to have the lock screen stuck in vertical when everything else can rotate to landscape mode transparently when using any apps
i run my phone most of the time in landscape mode for better read-ability and well most 90% of games runs on landscape mode anyways.
and when i put my phone down on the dock, i have it sitting on landscape as well, it'll make a nicer "desk clock/calendar" if the lock screen and switch as well
running Jugger ring lock screen
also running Go Locker (nice ICS theme )
Use widget locker dude I love it.https://market.android.com/details?id=com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker

Is there any way to change this? It defaults to landscape, and portrait Apps display "sideways" instead of showing up in portrait on the screen like other devices....
anyone? its pretty annoying to have portrait apps appear sideways on a TV...
I'm currently using cm9 nightly build and everything works pretty well.
I know that in AOKP we can change the on-screen navibar's colour, size etc and I think it is a great feature. However I just figure out an alternative way to further delay the screen burn-in, sorry I'm a noob i don't know jack about coding...
Is it possible that, in each time, when you turn on your screen, your navibar's keys colour will change randomly. For example, when you turn on your screen, the keys are yellow, you turn off your screen and turn on it again, this time the keys are red etc.
With AOPK, you can disable the Nav Bar and change transparency. Enabling 180* rotation the Nav Bar follows. You can enable Nav Bar options in the Power Menu as well, but that's not exactly convenience.
There is also this gesture app LMT, but I don't use it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1330150
I just hide the top and bottom bar each day with aokp, browse the web with total full screen, and my burn in is gone. Just need to exercise those pixels is all.
The power button menu has a show/hide nav button shortcut, so easy to do.
How long would it take for burn in? Back on my Samsung Vibrant, never had that issue, and it was Super Amoled.
I don't do any fancy things like you guys do. I just rotate my phone from portrait to landscape to where the nav bar is next to the front cam. I do this every time i'm on landscape. That way all the pixels get used/exercised. I don't suffer from any burn in had my phone since Feb.

Glad I could help Since the front of the phone is pretty much all black doesn't even make a difference to how it looks (cam on the left or right or even down )
My phone is running:
Android Version 4.2.2
CyanogenMod version 10.1.2-mako
Nova Launcher version 2.1.1
When i rotate my home screen from portrait to landscape, the 3 standard android buttons and my dock stay in the same location but rotate 90 degrees. I want the same for my apps and other home screen folders and widgets. I'm sure there is something out there that allows me to prevent the entirety of the home screen from rotating in one block and customize which square pieces rotate and how big they are (like 1x1's or 2x2's), I just can't find it. Has anyone come across something like this?
