I just created a repo to store sample AVD images. Basically you can clone this Git repo into your local .android folder, to get these basic emulator images pre-configured. https://github.com/mwolfson/AndroidAVDRepo I plan to add more emulator images, but have a fairly representative set of devices emulated now.

Go to Preferences / Appearance & Behaviour / System Settings / Android SDK Tick Show package details in the bottom right. Untick the version(s) of Android you want to uninstall and click Ok.

This seems to be an issue relating to the recent update. A temporary solution is to launch emulator from within the /path/to/android-sdk/tools directory in the commandline. See https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=235461 to follow the issue.
See the Android documentation on controlling the emulator; it’s Ctrl + F11 / Ctrl + F12. On ThinkPad running Ubuntu, you may try CTRL + Left Arrow Key or Right Arrow Key
Another answer here: in my case the problem was simply that the auto-rotate setting in the android emulator settings (accessible pulling down the notification bar) was disabled, my bad.
