On my tablet, LG G Pad 8.3 LTE, I usually have it locked to landscape, but when you pull down the task bar there's a toggle for that.Good to know, but I don't really care if my home screen rotates.
Mrs. P hates the auto rotation and turns it off on her phone and tablet. It drives her nuts when she's doing something with my phone or tablet.
I do prefer the auto-rotate, but honestly, even if I hated it, I'd leave it on just to watch her get frustrated when using my stuff.
They also added a toggle for that in stock Android Lollipop.
