Way to force zoom mode in apps like on honeycomb tablets? - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Is there a way to force zoom mode (like in honeycomb 3.2) on apps that do not stretch well to 720p? I haven't found a way to do this and it would be very helpful

Set Orientation App

Just found this app on Google Play that allows full rotation with the Nexus 7 when on the homescreen or in any app.
The app is completely free and doesn't require root.
Check it out!

I would prefer if there was an app that moved the icons to the bottom of the screen etc instead of just rotating them and leaving them where they are.

This is normal on ICS and JB. The Galaxy Nexus behaves this way too.
The only way to accomplish this is tablet mode. Tablet mode always has the status bar at the bottom for all rotations. EOS does this and has full rotation built in.

"Ultimate screen rotation" works great as well. It's free and I believe there is a paid version too.

OP's ap works as advertised, cheap, no surprises.
(I was under impression home rotate, rotation was a big deal.)
Wanted landscape home for car mount.
THS
I am liking the one OP posted so far.

I use ultimate screen rotation too! Works great for me!

Try sslauncher, it lets you rotate anything (even individual icons or text). Screens rotate and let's you have completely different themes in portrait and landscape. Well worth the cost for the full version.
Good find.
Not sure if you guys are aware, but homescreen rotation works with 4.1.2 with the stock launcher

Portait or landscape?

I know i like Portait mode myself, but what do you guys use most?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
Landscape.
portrait mode almost exclusively.
I always use portrait but since the nexus logo on the back is sideways you almost wonder if Google wants people to use it in landscape

It's a tablet, not a phone... so, landscape for me...

I like auto rotate.
Landscape, always!
So far depends on what I'm doing with it. Of course it's my first tablet ever as well so I'm still figuring things out.
Landscape for a tablet !
Landscape is harder to type on IMO opinion so if i have to type i usually just swivel it around and back again.

Indeed so. Subtle tips. Cause you'll notice it's in portrait on the original.
Personally, 95% landscape, 5% portrait.
Landscape always except for a couple of stupid apps that don't support it.
I actually find I flip it around a lot, depending on what I'm doing. I don't make sure my home screens always work in both orientations, which can be a challenge at times, but it forces me to get creative.

Both. Just depends on what I'm doing

Though I use my 10.1" tablet exclusively in landscape mode, I fond myself using the Nexus 7 (2013) mostly in portrait mode. Watching video or playing games being the main exception. When I'm in bed sometime I'll hold in in landscape also.
I though I was going to be holding it in landscape like it's bigger brother, but that's not the case.
Portrait, feels like I'm holding a book. Landscape for videos though obviously.

Portrait for the most part. Even on the web.

Portrait 80%
Landscape 20%
I used my 2012 Nexus 7 almost exclusively in portrait, I hated using it landscape. With this one though, I have found myself using landscape more and more. I think the larger bezels help and make it easier for me to reach 100% of the screen if I'm going two hands.
If I am one handing the device though,I generally use portrait. I think a lot of the reason I use landscape is to help differentiate from my portrait phone. I have also been playing a lot of games so I might have adapted so I can rotate less

Portrait most of the time and landscape for videos only. Because I'm not a retard. Lmao.

Android games with sixaxis playing in portrait mode

All of my Android games play in portrait mode like riptide, sine mora, crazy taxi, etc. I don't know what's causing this. I don't think it's the rom which I'm on cyanogenmod. Could it be the sixaxis app cause I made a profile for sine mora and started doing it. I have wiped cache and dalvik cache which it stops doing it but when I enable sixaxis games start going into portrait mode again. I just want to be able to use sixaxis with games in landscape mode. Everything else like the browser and email work with the screen rotation

You don't have rotation locked do you? Most games will force landscape regardless. Emulators typically have settings for landscape you have to setup first.
Some market apps can control and force landscape for everything. So make sure all of those are uninstalled too.

I have rotation screen enabled. So if I use like the web browser it rotates both ways. It's just that landscape games play in portrait mode with sixaxis enabled and using a profile

It happens when I enable a profile
