This is a quick walk through for editing the build.prop to allow lock screen and launcher rotation.
I got tired of looking at my phone sideways while it was propped up landscape wise, in my case.
1. Locate "build.prop" in /system using your favorite file explore
2. Open it up and at the bottom add the lines
Code:
log.tag.launcher_force_rotate=VERBOSE
lockscreen.rot_override=true
Lockscreen rotation still not working for you???
A few users have reported that adding a blank line between the two, fixes this issue.
Once the phone reboots your lockscreen and Google Now launcher will rotate with the orientation of the device just like other apps do.
To undo this, simply remove the lines we added
:good:
