Well, I this bought this cellphone a few months ago, and today I tryed a new Launcher. In the Android Market I downloaded the Launcher Pro (free version) and the Zeam Launcher.
So, after install they, I long-pressed in TouchWiz homescreen and selected the "Actives", with a home icon. I selected this and appeared a black screen. I just used 'back' button and for my surprise the TouchWiz was in landscape view!
I don't know at all, but isn't possible, right?
Now, everytime I put the phone on horizontal in TW the screen become in landscape.
It's a bug or it's normal?
P.S.: And sorry for my english lol

Nothing happens to me with vignette... Other ways to get it in landscape mode? Would be very nice. (do the widgets also turn?)

I installed the launchers, just it.
I think Launcher Pro caused this.
Want the stock gingerbread look for your Play? Want a landscape supported launcher? Don't have a Verizon Xperia Play?
Ripped from the R800x system. Download and set as your default launcher. If you have root, you can freeze/delete the SE Home launcher to free up space.
Supports landscape mode when you slide down the control pad, and you can use the gamepad to navigate between home screens, open apps, etc. You'll probably want to turn off the auto launch 'get more games' app though (use menu key, settings, disable auto-start on slide)

Tested and working on unbranded/rooted R800a. Anybody out there with a R800i to test?
Gonna test now

Hmm nice but nothing adw or launcher pro can't do. This could help some though.
Sent from my R800i using XDA Premium App
Yeah this is probably best suited for those who really want the stock gingerbread experience or a nice lightweight launcher.
Bonus though you get a bunch of cool stock gingerbread wallpapers with it... as I just discovered.
Thanks m8. My goal now is a full vanilla gingerbread rom

thanks axiomjunglist, nice post, pushed it to /system/ and works well, i'm sticking with Launcher pro plus though, but its nice to have
Now the question is how do we make it fully stock? I tried the dialer but seems to not work well. I got the settings(black), calculator, keyboard and messaging app all to work by installing the apk form the Verizon system dump. Besides getting the dailer to work, is there anything more to make it stock?

So far so good, some I pushed to /system/app/ and some I had to install like any other apk. Just about everything works except 2 things. The dialer/phone app the ui was messed up so I had to go back to the SE version and 2nd the settings does work but some options force closes on you. ie. brightness and volume. Besides that everything else works.
I have no idea if this works for people who are not rooted. If anybody can test that would be cool...

1) Can I use this if I'm on an R800a without root?
2) If 1) is true, how do I install it?
3) Can this mess with my phone and can it be reversed?
(sorry for the noob questions)
Works great on a 2.3.2 rooted r800i.
Just installed the apk like normal an froze the se home launcher.
The music widget is gone though when using this launcher.

Hmm... good to know. I had recently switched over to the free Google Music player and that has its own widget so I didn't notice SE's music player widget gone. Unfreezing/restoring SE Home brings it back. It seems like they tied the widget into the launcher unfortunately...

I'm 99% positive it will work for a non-root user. Just download and install. When you hit the home key it will ask what you want to use for as a launcher, just pick the new launcher and check 'use by default' if you don't want that message every time you hit home. If you don't like it just go to Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications -> All -> Launcher -> Uninstall. It will default back to the old SE Home launcher next time you hit the home key. You can't screw it up because as a non-root user you cannot delete SE Home launcher.

Just got my Nexus 7 today and it's awesome, except for the home screen not rotating? Do you think Google will release an update to fix it or will we have to rely on a third party app?

Third party app is the best way to go.
Download Rotation Locker its free if you want Landscape
Use Nova Launcher. Not only is it awesome, but it does home screen rotation.

Yes, it is great.
Auto-rotate wasn't enabled to begin with so I had to go to Nova Settings--Look and feel--Screen Orientation and select it (just pointing it out to save people a few seconds )
Also, the My Library widget is still usable (I'm not familiar with ICS/JB launchers, so maybe other launchers support it as well?).

I want to be able to have the launcher switch orientation based on how holding it. Any apps for that?

need a different launcher...nova or apex are good substitutes
Its kinda crazy that the homescreen does not rotate. Oh well, at least plenty of options to fix that with.

Didn't work for me on the N7.
Rotation locker works great. allows any setup you want based on how you holding it.
I'm a fan of Nova Launcher and that is what I'm using to rotate the home screen.

But you have to change the settings when you change how you are holding it, right?

No you don't have to. Just select the Forced Auto option and it rotates everything just fine. The only down side is it doesn't rotate lock screen.

Hmmph, that did not seem to work for me when I tested it last night.
I used the widget to select "auto" - is there another way to do it?
ETA: ahhhh... a long press did the trick, not a short press. Thanks!

I can live with that - was thinking the swipe up scrapbook & other functions. One way to tell - try!
Delete my response please.

The swipe up/home button press my magazine gets removed. Thats it.
You can overcome this, (Im using apex) and you can bind my magazine to a home button press if you miss it.
Using Nova Launcher Prime, all of the spen features work perfect, haven't noticed anything that is broken yet.
Can I disable My Magazine?
I'm coming from the other direction. I like the stock launcher and everything Touchwiz and S-pen related, I just want the swipe-up My Magazine feature to be disabled. Is there a way to do this without rooting or using a different launcher? Thanks in advance,
Nate
