I think that might be a framework-res tweak..only if i could producer a noon 
buggy compiled framework-res, i might fix this.

I think the problem is that it expects google's sensor fusion based orientation 
sensor and that doesn't get enabled because we don't have a gyroscope. Probably 
the same reason the compass doesn't work in google maps.

I think it's a launcher problem. Try using Nova launcher. It has rotation 
functionality (though you have to switch it on manually under Settings > 
Behavior)
