Lock screen Orientation on nexus 4

Question

Is there a shortcut to lock the screen orientation on the nexus 4 with android 4.2.1? I read you can swipe down from the top right corner on the nexus 7 but haven't found any info for the 4.

Answer 1

You can go to Settings > Display and then un-check Auto-Rotate. Since that's rather inconvenient, I installed an app called Power Toggles which makes it possible to force lock the screen orientation to landscape or portrait from the notification bar very easily.

I particularly liked this app since its very lightweight, only about 248kb. It also makes it possible to add single-click actions for things such as the turning on the flashlight or mobile hotspot.
