I know that the home screen will rotate to landscape mode when attached to the car dock. But is it possible to rotate the home screen to landscape mode when the phone is not attached to the car dock?
Yes it is possible..depending which Rom you use..
several launchers can do it as well, i know LauncherPro can do it but I personally hate it cause some widgets look bad when turned landscape
Can someone write application to emulate that the phone is in car dock without physically being in the dock?, this will enable the horizontal stock features

There should be quite a few programs out there that would allow you to launch the car dock without it actually being docked. I don't know any offhand as I don't care for that feature but I've seen it.

I have the T-Mobile Vario III version of the Kaiser.
When I flip up the screen it rotates to landscape with the thumbpad to the left the way I'd like it to. If I press the rotate option available in the in application launcher, it rotates the opposite way.
Is it possible to make it rotate the same way as when it is flipped open?
I tried options for left and right handed use but it never rotated correctly.

Same question for me...
I would like this too
I'm building a dock for my SGS, but instead of using the phone landscape, i would like to use it vertically, since most aps are just not made for landscape (musicplayer, etc).
Is there any way to flip the screen so it can be used upside down?

And you didn't read the first sticky post why?
I'm running cognition 2.4.1, it has a rotation on the home screen! The actual home screen will rotate when the screen it turned landscape. The other cogs dont do this, even the newest one(11/18/10). I asking if we can get a full 360 degree rotation for the screen, like the jailbroken iPhone. That's just cool! Useful as well when using it in the car on landscape.
Check Settings=>Display and see if auto rotate screen is checked.
You can also use LauncherPro to achieve the same.
or you can simply pull down the task bar, and hit the auto rotate button
I actually like the home screen rotating. I'm just wondering if there is a way to do full 360° rotation. With the plug on the top, I could turn the phone upside down when in the car. I love it.
It's launcher dependant. Pull the launcher .apk from whatever ROM and plug it into another.

Then install another launcher, you don't have much choice lol
This sucks. My One X had a native rotated mode so when you used something like Rotation Locker to force it while in a 3rd party dock everything looked fine. When you rotate the M7 you can see parts of the adjacent screens. It doesnt make much sense because HTC sell the phone with a nifty little case that lets the phone sit on your desk in landscape but then you have to turn your head to use it?! Am I missing something here? guess Ill just have to put it in Car mode which seems to be the only landscaped aspect mode the phone supports.
*edit* Turns out putting it in car mode on the desktop works quite well now you can add whatever apps you want to the launcher...

Any way to hack 'n trick the phone to "think" it's in Car mode or on media link in order to enable landscape?

Well the phone will go into landscape if you are holding it that way and have auto rotate enabled. Then you can just turn car mode on by hitting the 'car' icon in the apps menu...
Not in Sense or Blinkfeed, it won't.....unless you're saying to enable car mode first.
Edit....tried car mode (never used it before)...it's more like an app dock. I'm looking to put Sense in landscape. Oh well.
Is it possible to set the home screen to rotate? I use the original rom and with "rotate screen" - ON , but the home screen did not rotate.
Currently on stock firmware there isnt a function to make the the home interface rotate. A dev could possibly make a mod, but development is slow. one other thing you can try is try another home launcher.
It does rotate when using the docking station though, so the functionality is already there. Just the lockscreen does not rotate.
Thanks for the replies. I have the phone for one day and still learning what to do and to setup.

I think also the lockscreen will be easily able to rotate, with the pincode turned and screen locked try to take a picture, the press manual mode, it will ask for the pin, for ~2s the lockscreen is perfectly aligned in horizontal then it rotates.
I don't get why Sony should prevent homescreen and lockscreen to rotate when seems they are both built to do that.
try "Screen Rotation Steuerung" App -> set to auto -> voila you have rotation Homescreen! (Damn not ootb)
