turn the phone to landscape and the home page will turn to landscape, too, same as all android phones.

I'll get my Mytouch tomorrow UPS... but in my Evo you can go to settings/display and put a check in the box "auto-rotate screen." I've only had 3 androids and they all do the same thing. I hope the MT4G is a lot different!
He...he...he... That's kind of why I'm asking the question cause on the G1 it was automatic when you flip the phone. I can't seem to do that on this phone even when the auto-rotate is already set.

Gosh, does this phone have an accelerometer? That's what causes it to know when you switch directions.
yes, it auto-rotates just fine when you're in an app. I just can't seem to rotate the home screen to landscape mode. I've tried.
Geez guyz!!! it's mytouch Sense and stock ROM! What are you talking about?

well, don't take my word for credit, but as far as I know home screen in Sense doesn't have landscape view unless custom ROM.
ugh... darn. There goes that... so begins the waiting game for a custom rom

My evo with HTC sense has landscape in the homescreen. all apps and the clock turn to landscape and the dock goes to the right side of the screen but all apps in the dock turn to landscape.

That's correct. mySense doesn't have landscape view, but when in apps it will turn to landscape. If you want landscape on your home screen you'll need to root and install a custom rom (once available), or install a launcher replacement from the Market such as LauncherPro or ADW which do have landscape view for home.

OK, my mistake... SENSE doesn't have landscape on the home screen. I forgot I was running LauncherPro so after reading this, I logged back into sense and yep, it's portrait only... I never noticed that. I guess because I spent so little time running sense. But I may never have noticed because I never go to landscape while on the home pages, and I don't see any reason to? The only time I use landscape is when I'm typing, watching movies, and when I'm in web pages. Why would you want to be in landscape on your home screen?

Because I have a stand that I put the phone on and it fits snugly in landscape mode. I want it to behave as if it's in a dock.
Since I came from a rooted phone, I didn't know if that ability was present in stock sense.

Incoming Call Screen:

Hi all, I'm just customising my Android Build, and wondered if there are any alternatives or ways of changing the incoming call screen? I believe sense has a version and the MCCM 3.4 seems to have something different. Are there any apps that change or customise that screen? I'm using LauncerPro as my launcher at the moment if that makes any difference?
Thanks

Where have you seen this? I know mdeejays builds have been removed here. Kindly point us to the video if you've seen one.
Its in settings, cant recall exactly where but there are check boxes for screen rotation. Check them all. Think 180 is the only one not selected by default.

Its in cyanogenmod settings - display, then check 180 rotation, and that will give u 360 rotation u are thinking of.

Not working screen rotation
Hi guys, Im new here, but I was reading the forum for a while.
On my HD2, screen rotation isnt working at all. I am using CM7, in cyanogenmod settings > display > acc rotation there is no difference if all degrees are ticked on, or just a 0 and 90, the screen rotation doesnt work. Also in ADW Launcher settings, system persistent is turned off, Home orientation is set to Auto/sensor.

Screen rotate.

The home screens on my dhd do not rotate when I have my phone on its side. It dose work when using apps but not on the home screens, is this correct?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Yep, that's normal.
Sense on DHD does not support landscape mode. If you want landscape try an homescreen alternative like ADW or LauncherPro.
Or you can flash Coredroid Mod in his thread.

Stock homescreen in landscape?

I was wondering if there was a way to force landscape mode in the gingerbread motoblur home, I've seen it happen by mistake for a second but I'm wondering if there is a way for it to have rotation.
PS: I am very aware of Launcher Pro and etc.
Because one signature isn't enough.
There is a mod out there that will do the job. I can't link to it, but with some searching you should be able to find it.
