Default No Auto Rotate

That was of the features I liked in gingerbread.
Is there a way to enable it?

Assume you mean the home screen? This little app works great --

No the way the screen rotates automatically when you turn it long ways.
The long view retangle not the straight up and down view.
The we browser chrome goes into long view as well in ICS and gingerbread when you turn the tablet.

When you pull down the notification bar do you see two curved arrows going around a lock? Press it.

If you have root access, you can add this to the bottom of your build.prop file:

launcher.force_enable_rotation=true

Works well, like the app, only it's free.
