Help Rotate home screen...

[naviwilliams]

I'd like my home screen, when the device is in horizontal mode to look like this (I borrowed this image!)...

How do I achieve this?


Thanks

That's a custom ROM by the looks of things. Sense doesn't rotate unfortunately, you'd either need a custom ROM, or you'd need to install an alternative launcher. I know Apex & ADW have the landscape option, not sure hat others, but I imagine most of them do.

The Sense home screen does rotate but only when in the car dock, I've found no other way of achieving it yet

Install ADW Launcher, and it works

Try the Rotation Locker app.

...and this is what makes Android good! So many choices

Try the Rotation Locker app.

I use this, tap the icon and then long press "auto" and it starts a service which rotates your home screen depending on the orientation of the phone.

Sweet as, thanks for that it was infuriating that sense didn't rotate.

Woo hoo, it works and well.

Glad you got it sorted, the pic is of my homescreen, it's LeeDrOiDs Rom with Nova Launcher.

I have it work on mine then it stops then it starts again trying to find out what starts it.

Here is a link to a youtube of it working

Thanks for the video
It could be some other application you have installed possibly...?

If not that, I think it has to do with the G-Sensor being a little wonky. If you calibrate the G-Sensor you will probably see this latent benefit disappear from your handset.

I took delivery of a replacement handset yesterday because my G-Sensor stopped working.
