I have Gederom and Apex Launcher installed. I manage to find the screen orientation in the Apex settings, but when I change it to 'only landscape', it still goes to portrait when I turn it while in an app. I don't know if that is just how it works, but if not, I would appreciate some help to keep it locked to landscape only.
Have you tried, while it's in landscape mode, going into Settings -> Display -> Rotation -> Unchecking "Auto-Rotate screen" ?
You can add a button to the notification bar in order to turn it off and on comfortably, as well.
Are you going into Behavior Settings>Screen Orientation > Always landscape? I just tried it and it works fine.

I did both of those and they didn't fix it, but I did figure it out. I went to the apex settings and made it landscape only. Then I went into the display settings in the system settings and turned auto rotate screen on and only checked 90 degrees. Seems to be working. Thanks for the help guys.

My screen no longer rotates when I turn my phone. I cannot seem to find the setting to change it? Did something change in the most recent update that took away screen rotation? Any help is appreciated.

It didn't change. It's still in the Quick Settings (see User Manual).
Here's what I got
You know that you can scroll the quick settings and edit them

Try to recovery mode and clear cash
Anyone knows how to rotate screen? I tried Closed App Settings but it doesn't work. Tried several other apps and modules. Nothing works to rotate screen.
I need rotation to force Here Maps into portrait mode in which it is possible to access settings and change map location from internal to external SD location. (Yes I know that most other settings are available in driving mode even on landscape but storage location is only available in default settings which are blank in landscape mode - known issue in Here)
The g-sensor on my phone broke, so the automatic screen rotation stopped working for me. So I've been using this app:

It has a menu bar that lets you choose between landscape and portrait mode.
It works well on my phone. Hopefully it works on your radio.
i think you would have to change the allow rotation flag in the mysql db to true to actually get it to rotate and then echo it in there every time the thing starts

Could you please explain it in more details? How to change flag in mysql?
I also need to rotate screen (Here Maps settings are not showing on landscape!).

IIRC you can get to the settings on the bottom of the screen in driving mode.
I heard that the S9 should be able to have the home screen in landscape. However, "Home Screen" is grayed-out in my Display settings.
So, that's one issue.
Also, I actually want a Tasker Task that will force the phone into landscape. This is triggered by my car Bluetooth so that I can mount my phone horizontally. I don't want the phone to always rotate the home screen, I just want to force landscape when I connect to my car Bluetooth.
On my S6, I could use Rotation Locker in Tasker to force the phone into landscape. The home screen, wallpaper, and everything looked good.
On the S9, Rotation Locker does not work correctly. The wallpaper remains portrait. As soon as I pull down the notification shade, the phone switches to portrait - and it's locked into portrait for all apps! I have to switch the phone setting back to auto-rotate.
Pinch your homescreen, go to homescreen settings, scroll down and uncheck Portrait mode only! Homescreen will go landscape!
Actually, part of my issue might be because I'm using Nova Launcher. I was able to change it from "default" to "auto-rotate", and the home screen seems to rotate now. So, I think that question is probably answered.
Unfortunately, I still don't have a solution for my car mode Task. I only want the home screen to be in landscape if I'm connected to my car's Bluetooth. Rotation Locker still doesn't work correctly with the S9.
Same need here...
I can't seem to get my rotate icon to work on Developer Preview 2. I've turned off the Auto-Rotation option, but it's still not showing up. I wasn't a part of the 1st Developer Preview, but I don't think that plays a factor. Is anyone else experiencing this?

it works for me. it doesn't show up unless I rotate the phone.
I can't get it to appear for the life of me! It's driving me nuts!
if you have auto-rotate enabled in display settings, it will NOT show up. If its disabled, you should see the icon if you rotate the screeen
My auto rotate is turned off (not blue), but when I go to YouTube, for example, and attempt to rotate the phone, the rotate icon toggle doesn't appear. I cannot FOR THE LIFE OF ME figure out why.

Just tested and it appears to the far right of the home button.

It finally works. It started showing up a few minutes ago. Go figure!
still doesn't work for me, have you done anything to enable it ?
No. It just started appearing. Very odd!
Ya. I can't get it to work either. Tried everything. Hopefully mine will "just start to work" to.
I just ended up doing a clean flash and now it works.
My P6 Pro is doesn't always auto rotate (it is enabled in QS) I'm rooted (Magisk 24.3), and am on April's FW. I am using Nova Launcher Prime v7.0.57. The other bug I have is: I have home screen folders with 8+ shortcut Icons inside. When I am in portrait mode, I can swipe up to scroll through the folder's icons, but when the phone is in landscape mode - the folders are not scrollable. only the first 6 icons are viewable Is this just me or anyone else with Nova Launcher Prime v7.0.57 can try this?
EDIT... Nova settings--> folder--> window-->immersive. fixed the folder scroll issue
but still have the auto rotate issue
I'm using Nova Launcher Prime v7.0.57, and one of my folders on my home screen (technically in my dock) that I have set to open the folder when I swipe up on works perfectly for me in landscape and portrait including scrolling to get to the additional items in the folder. Tried rebooting?
Edit: Disregard about the folder - I see you found the cause.
Regarding auto-rotate, I think my auto-rotate has been better than it used to be. It mostly affects me when I'm using Google Reader and it didn't always rotate in a timely manner - but I also haven't been reading lately. Rotating on images or videos have always been fine that I recall.
The auto rotate on my P6P is messing up sometimes too, but I'm on completely stock and unrooted. Fully update to date as well.
Sometimes when I rotate my phone into landscape mode it doesn't change, even if I wait a while, so then I rotate it back to portrait mode to try again but as I'm rotating it back to portrait mode it then momentarily DOES switch to landscape mode for a half second and then back into portrait mode since I'm now holding it in portrait mode.
Doesn't work when playing back videos for me.

To add to what I said previously, you could long-press the auto-rotate Quick Setting tile, and if it's enabled by default, which I think it is, then you can disable "Face Detection", which is supposed to make it a smarter auto-rotate in case you're looking at the phone from a weird angle so that it only rotates when it makes sense to.
I turned that off some time ago although I may turn it back on eventually to see if it improved.
