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

Is there a way to change icons on a STOCK Sprint Galaxy S3? I'm not talking about the Lock Screen icons at the bottom, but I guess by default they would be included in this scenario.
For example, let's say I wanted to change the default Amazon store app to a simple "cardboard box" .png on my S3. Is there a way to do this without fear of breaking the app or losing data? I know I could do this on my Photon. Didn't it allow you to do this on the Stock Galaxy S2? Not sure.
Your help would be greatly appreciated. I love my S3, and wouldn't change it for the world. Just would be nice to do a tweak like this.I'm a tad OCD, but don't want to root my phone. I've done it before, but with Jelly Bean coming shortly - don't see the point. I want to keep as is.
Thanks again folks -

Just found an app yesterday actually called icon changer free and it works great

Wow. This is great! I was using Desktop Visualizer which was pointed out to me today, and is another great application, but I like the GUI on this one better as it's more intuitive.
I just want to change the icon of an application already on screen, not have to recreate it. This app does that.
Thanks again bud.

Just came a crossed an app that disables the tegra 3 screen dimming function which causes the washed out colors. The app is nvidia tegra prism toggle...used it and noticed a big difference but MUST BE ROOTED TO USE THIS APP

It can and does open but ask for rooting rights as soon as it starts
Worked great here. Thanks for the find!
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
it's been sad many times,i think there's also a 3ad somewhere of prism toggle by nvidia.Anyways,if you don't want to buy the app,you can use the tricksterMOD app and by disabling smart-dimmer in the proper tab,you do the same thing (echo "0" > /sys/devices/tegradc.0/smartdimmer/enable)
EDIT ehi,but it's warez!!!!!!!!!!!PULL IT OFF!
thanx guys, trying this out,,steve

I noticed that if I'm playing a youtube video, and I press the recents button, the icons look wash out/almost white. not anymore with this app.

there is no problem with the display. its a power-saving feature which doesnt save any power from what i was able to find out.
problem is that it washes out your colors. its extremly visible when you watch video for 10-20min and then press HOME. it stays like this for good 30+sec. after that it goes back to normal. watching a lot of movies, its visible whether I have this turned ON/OFF.
Why does Google do such weird things all the time? I know other people have to think the same thing about why they design an OS the way they do. For instance clicking the clock in the status bar takes u to time settings instead of clock or calendar(when we all have auto time enabled)? And I'm pretty sure(at least I hope) its a bug, but the stupid new camera rotation is beyond dumb. And why they took the so much fun camera effects out, I may never know... I do love Google but just question their Dev team sometimes... sometimes a lot
But that is why we have these wonderful devs across the forums. I can't thank you guys/gals enough!!!!

The slow camera rotation is intentional. The Android Dev team spoke about it. As for camera effects, I don't know how many people actually used them. Sure, Mac users seem to use them quite a bit, but I don't know about Android users.

Yea I meant alarms.. Lol. Or even clock app would be smart
Why on EARTH would u want camera lag when changing the phone orientation... Then u end up missing Ur shot!
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
The rotation lag doesn't bug me too much. It usually takes a second or less to rotate. I usually know what orientation I want my picture to be, so I'll press the camera app in that orientation.

Just lock rotation when you want to use your camera, if you are using a rom with toggle rotation it wont be that hard to press a toggle.
I personally always disabled rotation, and only enabled it when i want to use it.

Another thing that bothers me is app drawer. the black background is still stuck in the Gingerbread era.
If I lock rotation to to a pic in landscape its going to take the picture in portrait but I guess u could just rotate it in the gallery... But still useless as fuhk. I'd rather deal with the lag of swiping to my pictures than the actual camera itself... Come one Google... You're better than this... Back to 4.1 camera I am

IMO the black background is nice to quickly identify icons. U know u can always use third party launchers to change that..

Im on jedi x 13, and have pie launcher working, just curious to what everyone is using it for. I had toggles on it, but the pull down is good for that, just cant think of what to use it for at the moment.

I use it for quick access to necessary apps while I'm out n about on my bicycle. music maps etc its not as valuable as say is you were on nexus 7 but its a awesome jedi feature. I use it without the info showing because I like using the s pen thanks b whoever posted those awesome Hover point icons. If your feeling pie I recommend you checkout a app called relaunch1

why not just show your screen caps?
I've set it up with basic buttons like, back, home, recent apps, menu. I always use it coz it just appears on the side or bottom screen so i don't have to look down to press home or whatever.

Yeah ive tried it for all those things, found that the integrated phone features were easier and more user friendly. I like the feature and idea, just need the proper functionality for it.

I am using a T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S4 with Wicked v5.1 Rom, and I have consistently experienced an issue with the updated YouTube app. Every time I watch a video in landscape mode and then turn it into portrait mode, a black bar appears between the status bar and the YouTube search bar. The bar doesn't go away even in landscape mode. The only way to make it go away is to exit the app, but the black bar always comes back. It really is quite annoying. I know that others have the same issue as I do because of what I have read on the Internet. Does anyone have any suggestions? I really hope that Google fixes this.
Thanks in advance for your help.

I love the new UI.
But is it the latest version?

As of yesterday when it was released.
I've noticed similar problem with this version as well. You can see it on top of the title/menu bar.

I should mention that I've tried other roms like GE and they don't have that problem. I think it's TW related.
Here is the before and after the portrait/landscape/portrait turns.

Both old and new versions have the same fck bug. Its ridiculous. A version before those 2 was fine....
I am on infamous roms and when in landscape mode I can't even view the seek/status bar! I have to go to portrait making it smaller then tap the vid box again to see how far through a vid I am or seek back and forth... I read one other review on Google apps play market so I know it's not just my rom, but there must be something up with the gs3 not letting me view this bar all the time.
