Screen rotation with 3rd party launchers

[sevenoverthree]

After installing NovaLauncher and Apex and have found both are unable to auto-rotate the desktops. Once in an app or menu, the display rotates. Has anyone seen this? I have used NovaLauncher for years now and I've never seen the app behave badly, so I am guessing there is something happening between EMUI and the launcher. I am running EMUI5 on my P10+ and everything runs perfectly. Totally stumped... Is there a setting somewhere that needs to be enabled? Just to be clear, the default launcher works 100% fine. Thanks for reading

Hmm, interesting made me go look as I'm using nova, now my home screen and app drawer don't rotate but all my apps do..including my settings.

Did you try to enable Auto Rotation in Nova Settings->Look&Feel->Screen Orientation?

For me it works on Default, maybe setting this to auto-rotate fixes your issue.

It could also happen because Nova sees your tablet as a phone, as many other apps do. Setting the Screen density in developer options to 711 or higher(my current setting, some lower values may also work) also fixes this.
