I recently got a pinetab2, and I booted it into ubuntu-touch, running lomiri. But the screen orientation is the wrong way (portrait). I am not interested in autorotate, so how would I force the screen orientation of a mir-based desktop to landscape? If you need more info to help me, just ask for it....
