No auto screen rotation with daydream

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
Letting screen time out normally (from home screen or app) causes clock to stay 
in up right vertical position only.  Will not rotate.
Clock will rotate if
1. plug in device
2.open dash clock settings
3.allow screen to time out from the settings page
4.click will now rotate to all 4 positions, but animation will only move along 
the left half of screen when horizontal (this is not a problem for me, but some 
users will dislike it)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I prefer to use in landscape mode,since I do not own a dock. 

What version of the product are you using?
Current

Which device and Android version are you experiencing this issue on?
Latest jellybean, galaxy s4 with touchwiz launcher

Are you using a custom launcher or ROM? If so, which one? Note that custom
launchers and ROMs are not supported.
Touchwiz

Please provide any additional information below.

I am running into the same issue. Mine is with an HTC One w/Nova Launcher. It's 
strange because when I go into the settings and tell it to Start Daydream, it 
works perfect. Yet, when I have it charging and automatically go into daydream, 
it just stays in portrait mode, even though I have it on a horizontal dock.

I am getting the exact same issue as #1 MRepro. I would love to see it work 
properly in Daydream horizontal mode. (Samsung Galaxy S4 - AT&T)

It will not auto rotate after it is running. However, it will display in either 
portrait or landscape according to the orientation of the phone when it is 
launched.

I have the same issue.  I have a kickstand case.  If I plug the phone in while 
it is sitting horizontally, daydream starts in portrait.  It will never start 
horizontally unless I go into settings and manually start daydream.

This is actually an Android bug, and not at all specific to DashClock:
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=40226

However, the dev of ClockPlus DayDream was able to come up with a 
workaround/hack (it works on my Moto X on 4.4 anyway). The code is available 
(see the links on the app's Play store listing), so DashClock should be able to 
integrate it.

jrbell...'s observations match mine, re ClockPlus. I also discovered, (Samsung 
Galaxy S3, Android 4.3), that if an app that normally autorotates is open at 
the time DashClock starts, DashClock will rotate as well. Otherwise it stays 
locked in portrait. It would be nice if DashClock could integrate the "force 
autorotate" function. Still, DashClock is an excellent app.

I just want to say that I just installed it and it will not autorotate for me. 
Only when I am in settings and start it from there will it autorotate.
