When I view a picture in the stock gallery app and I turn the phone from portrait to landscape or vice versa, the picture doesn't rotate. Instead I need to tap once on the picture to reveal the menus and then press the rotate button (on the top bar, second from the right) for the picture to turn.
Is there a way to make it auto rotate like in the stock ICS gallery?
This may sound stupid but bring down your notification bar and check if screen rotation is on.
Anyway, wouldn't be surprised if it were a bug. I have a couple of bugs in my gallery app. Some pictures flip 180 automatically and some stretch to landscape and distort instead of staying in portrait
Thanks for the reply. Auto rotate works everywhere else. It even works in the gallery app all the way until you select one picture and view it full screen. It seems as though it was designed that way because the rotate button actually lights up when you turn from portrait to landscape and vice versa.
\edit I've attached a screenshot of the rotate icon. Its the second one from the right on the top menu bar. This icon is grey when in portrait. When I turn my phone to landscape the picture doesn't rotate, instead that icon becomes white and pressable.

Is there any way to prevent my screen from auto rotating UNLESS I have the keyboard up, my phone seems to like to rotate frequently when I only need it to rotate for the landscape keyboard.
I am unaware of a way to get it to just rotate with the landscape keyboard but you can download something like Widgetsoid that will allow you to put a "Auto-Rotate" toggle on your homescreen so when you want to use the landscape keyboard you can just toggle the rotating to "On" and then when you're done you can toggle it "Off".

I've got a Verizon LG V10 and when I go to the manual camera mode while holding the camera in portrait orientation all the settings are there and look normal. But, when I turn the camera to the landscape, the row of settings icons disappears and the icons that show the specific setting selected (like what shutter speed is selected) are on the right edge behind the "snap a picture" icon... I tried to take a screenshot, but the settings didn't show up... I'll try to get pictures to show what I am talking about... I tried a reboot, but nothing changed... Anyone else see anything like this? Any ideas? Thanks!
I think I figured it out... I installed an app, Rotate, to force some apps to rotate to landscape and I think that was causing the issue in the camera...
Many people like the Facebook landscape mode on the 4:3 table, the layout split to two column, the left side is general information and right side is ADs and contacts, and right/left width seem to be at a golden ratio, it looks comfortable.
But we XDA nexus9 user may like more custom layout, for example, we have split window built in, and even floating window, we would like to see APP in portrait under system UI in landscape.
I have tried app setting, some xposed module and some orientation setting app on play store, still can not enable app in portrait while system is in landscape. Any possible to enable it?
The attached screenshot form my nexus9 show normal portrait , normal landscape Facebook app layout.
And a temporary portrait means open in system portrait, rotate table to landscape, sometime keep app portrait just "temporary", kill app and reopen still show landscape.
Everytime I close the game up. It reset it back to default window size.
Also why some of the portrait games won't resize on the max out screen? Snapshot below.
Using 3.0.206.
I know there is a bug on the hidden bar. Does that on some of the games. Even at full screen. Hidden bar will leave a black bar behind.
Recent apps screen gets in landscape mode whenever any app in landscape mode is running even in background like camera app.
Is there any way to lock the orientation and it just change orientation according to auto rotation enabled.
