My home screen (sense) used to rotate when I changed the phone's orientation, but it suddenly stopped doing that. Does anyone know how to fix this?
The problem only affects the the home screen, rotation works fine in all other apps
To be frank (not saying it's not possible), I've never seen an in store demo Incredible S homescreen rotate since it was released or on my personal hadnset (on a standard ROM). It was one of the first things I tried just to see the illuminated buttons at the bottom rotate too. Found I could only get it to rotate when in an app.
Yup it only rotates in app. As far as my knowledge surpasses, its only desire z that that has feature of rotating home screen.
Lol even i tried a lot to rotate the home screen when I got my silver desire last summer.

Question. I seem to have lost my home screen on touchwiz.now when I double click home it slides to the last page of however many pages I've set up no matter if I then shuffle them around each other. Additionally, in edit mode none of my home screen pages show a house icon, specifying home screen, ie the one touch wiz defaults to with home screen double click. anyone know how to restore a touchwiz home page?
There's no way to restore any screens once they get deleted on touchwiz . Sorry

just to be clear i'm not trying to restore a home screen that i've organized widgets and links with.. i'm just trying to reset one of the homescreens to the home one with a home icon. If you edit your homescreens you'll find that one of your screens has a house icon on it and thats the one touchwiz will swing to when you double click the home button.
Anyone?
you found one of the odities of the Touchwiz home screens. If you have less then 5 ( i think) the one on the end becomes your home and you can't change it. If you have 5 or more you can move them around to make the middle one home.
TouchWiz uses pane 4, or the highest number to it as Home. I've never found a way to change this. (aka 3 if you have 3...)
I too had this problem. The only way I found was to leave it on the 7 screen configuration, and just leave the end screens blank.
Hmmm. I seem to have stumbled into this as well. I didn't think it would be possible, but I deleted an empty page and now don't seem to be able to create a new one (now that I have more crap I want to load on one).
yes thats one of the bugs in touchwiz I think. Unless you have 7 screens; the rightmost screen becomes your Home screen. I tried looking for a solution for long time and no go yet. Lets wait for froyo update and may be a new touchwiz! btw you can always install launcher pro or ADWLauncher. But I think touchWiz is more sophisticated that those two.
There is a free app in the market, called SGS Screen Changer that let's you set the default screen when you use the Home Button (needs root and Busybox to work).
Good luck!
well this is really interesting (to me )
I'm using CM nightly, so it comes with ADW launcher
When I slide the home button (when in drawer) or drawer button (when at home screen) upward, the dock disappears, and even restarting ADW launcher doesn't help to bring it back...
Could someone please suggest how to bring the dock back again?
And also I'd like to know, what advantage does that function do..
thanks a lot
Go to where the app button is supposed to be and swipe down. I had the same problem.
Wow that works
Thanks a lot

This is a secondary application dock that you are seeing. Only there are no apps there so it just looks blank. Slide up on the home icon and the quick launch dock/panel appears, you can then drag an app icon to that area and it will stick to the quick launch dock. This is a good spot to keep a calculator, quickboot, titanium back-up; whatever you want.
If you're like me and your screen keeps flipping/inverting on your note using a ROM with a CRT on/off animation, than you can use any launcher that adjusts the orientation of the phone automatically to fix as long as you don't have a security lock on your home screen. It worked fine using launchers such as ADW Ex, SPD Shell, and a few others I tried. All you have to do is flip the phone sideways and wait for it to fix. This is holding me over till a fix is presented.

I have my ADW launcher set to landscape, i still get the flipped over crt off animation.

Well, i keep pressing the home button on my flipped lockscreen till the Vilingo voice app starts. Command it to go "Home" landscape and DING.. back to normal
@EarlZ the Landscape thing isn't there to prevent the flipping but it can revert it.
This worked for me.

Flash the zip file via CWM. This will remove the CRT on and eliminate the flipped screen.

I guess we dont want to remove it, but fix it

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)
OK I picked up my GG last week and slowly but surely I been tweaking it and decided to root and install null-14. So far I have root, on UK firmware and and free falling theme. For some reason when I move my GG to see time or perform a task the motion sends a command to NOVA Launcher and instead of a default home screen I get the screen that shows five home screens with center chosen as default (checked mark) I can seem to fix this issue. All I can do is touch the screen and then it goes to the default home screen with all my widgets and icons. Am I missing something? this only happens when I choose NOVA as my launcher no problem with Touchwiz launcher. below is the screen shot of what greets me every time I do a motion to look at the time.:
