Has anyone found that on pure stock including stock launcher
If you install Facebook, the homescreen/app drawer stops auto rotating?
Still works in apps (games, chrome etc.) but the homescreen is then locked to portrait even if auto rotate is ticked in settings.
Uninstalled Facebook and voila homescreen started rotating again....

Can homescreen autorotation only be done in a full custom rom?
Or would an upgrade (e.g. cyan's making bacon) be able to enable this function?
Cyanogens Makin' bacon doesn't support landscape right now. The only I see to enable it would be to download a homescreen replacement such as Home++ that's what I'm using right now and it works fine.
What happens to your icon/widget layout when you switch to landscape view?
Does Android 2.1 not support auto-rotate by default?
It supports auto-rotate for everything but the home screens, which kinda sucks cause when I get Handcent pop ups if I wanna use the landscape keyboard I have to go into the handcent app. Can only do portrait for pop up quick reply if it comes up while youre on home or lock screen.
I tried open home, it wouldn't let me put widgets on the screens so I got rid of it.
but to my question:
Does native landscape mode for the home screen require a COMPLETELY new rom?
Or just a addition to the stock?
Hi,
If i enable auto-rotation from the home screen, the home screen also rotates automatically creating a lot of lag. Is ut possible that the home is never rotated (always in portrait) whereas applications can rotate the screen?
Please let me know. It would be of great help.

ok, so more info would have been helpul, you know. however, of course it is possible, this is android isn't it . You must have installed a different launcher since your home screen rotates. Look in the launcher settings, there should be a setting somewhere that will turn it off.
tl;dr launcher settings!
This is Froyo rooted on my G3. And the option is in the notification bar drawer. So it isnt becasue of the launcher.
did you even look!?!
Its the home screen! How can it not be launcher related!!
you are really frustrating, but I still explain it to you:
The same way that some other apps dont rotate, some launchers dont rotate, namely stock launcher. If you are using stock launcher the home screen wont rotate regardless of that option being checked or not!! Third party launchers provide the ability to rotate your homescreen! Most, if not all, will allow you to turn it off!!
Sooo go! Check your launcher settings!!
I'm using zeam and its under general. However, you are obviously not using zeam if you are complaining that it is slow.
Soooo go!! Check your launcher settings already!!
P.S. Depending on your launcher turning off rotation for the homescreen might include turning off rotation for the app drawer. I dont know if there are launchers that separate the two.

Make sure you have lagfix v2 installed on your phone. For more info, see general help in this forum!
Good morning,
I had since the beginning with my new phone this problem : Pictures won't rotate in my gallery view!
I have read forums and saw that it was a software issue related to those who are using NOVA launcher.
this solution for the S6 edge is working!
The fix I applied was super simple.
Previously, gallery did not rotate when launched from a folder on the nova home screen.
When I moved the shortcut out of a folder, to occupy just one spot on my home screen, it started to rotate.
Also, launching gallery from the app drawer always was able to rotate as well .
Put a shortcut again to Nova launcher and It works!
It's always nice to known!
Do you mean the rotation from portrait to landscape of a photo you are viewing?

Yes, That's what I mean.
If I started the Gallery from the icon on the my nova launcher, the pictures didn't rotate when I putted the phone in landscape.
When using the icon on the app drawer, it did!

I never had that issue. I wouldn't think it would make much difference but I'm on an AT&T S7E with Android 6.0.1 and Nova Launcher Prime 4.2.2.
I tried all 3 ways. Gallery shortcut on my home page, Gallery shortcut on my home page but within a folder, and Gallery app in the App Drawer. I closed Gallery completely in between each test and every time I selected a photo it would rotate from Portrait to landscape without issue. I wonder if some other app is causing the conflict even though you said this happened before on the S6's.
Well, at least it works and thanks for the "fix" information because someone else will surely need it!
I launch Gallery from a folder in Nova Prime, and my images rotate just fine.
Having the same issue on Note 7.
The culprit is nova launcher with "Screen orientation" set to anything but "Auto-rotate". As soon as I set to "Auto-rotate" the gallery started rotate as well.
I'm with Verizon, I've tried 2 launchers in settings, the Home with separate Apps list and Nova launcher.
Text messaging, youtube, websites, gallery etc all rotate but the home screen and the other 2 pages I scroll to find apps don't rotate horizontally?
Any fix to this?
Thanks in advance.

I'm not on VZW,but,have you checked the Settings of the phone (Accessibility).
There should be an option to check off for Nova once installed,ensure you grant that permission. Also double-check the Nova app settings for auto-rotate.
If that does nothing for you,try this app from the Google Play Store:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nl.fameit.rotate&hl=en
You'll have prompt(s) to grant accessibility settings access/approval for it to work properly,then proceed to customize on a per-app basis,or,simply choose your desired settings for the entire phone.
Hi,
Other than the default LG launcher (which I dont use - I use Google Now Launcher), nothing - no LG apps - no 3rd paty apps run full screen... Is this normal or something weird about my device software?
I have set all my frequently used apps to "Scale" to 18:9, rebooted many times etc but they all run with a solid white or black home button arrangement. I was expecting the LG apps to run full screen but they dont either... I even tried going back to the LG Launcher, rebooting, trying apps but still the same result.
I would really like full screen apps with a transparent home button section... is this possible?
Thanks!
It's normal the navigation bar is always solid background unless the app developer codes an app so it becomes transparant, which is very unusual in my experience.
I think its a problem with Google Now Launcher, I was experiencing the same issue. I switched to Nova Launcher and the navigation bar is transparent like its supposed to be. Nova Launcher just added Google Now support to the homescreen using a companion app that lets you swipe to the google now feed, so now its basically a better version of Google Now Launcher.
