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.

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.

To lock home screen so it would not rotate, just go to launcher settings and disable "rotate screen". That is all you need to do. I am referring to Nexus 4 with OS 4.3 There is nothing is settings that will help. I have been fighting with this for a week not remembering how I did it in the first place..
