as it is limiting activities to a portrait orientation, but they are working acceptably for landscape orientation as well. Orientation configuration changes should be managed correctly; as the application stands, navigation flips to the Devices tab when orientation changes, instead of persisting in the current tab.
Splits the buttons in two clusters. Right cluster mimics the original Roku navigation cluster. Left cluster groups tv/media and unconventional or elite buttons.
Kind of hackish: https://stackoverflow.com/a/5317727 and https://stackoverflow.com/a/23363016 So, now that a horizontal layout has been added, when the orientation changes, we retain the selected tab/item.

I use my tablet in landscape mode all of the time, supported on top of the keyboard. Applications that don't support a landscape orientation can be quite irritating to me, so I enabled the landscape orientation on the activites and wrote an alternate layout for a landscape orientation on big screens to make better use of the screen real estate. The other views look fine on landscape, so no changes were needed there.
A pending issue is a remote controller layout that works well with small screens on landscape. I suppose we would have to get rid of the tab switcher (or make it vertical) and the top title to maximize the area available for the buttons.
