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.

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'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.

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.

HI,
The Note is nearly a Tab, so is there a Hack to bring the Homescreens in Landscape like the SG-Tab? I dont want to use a custom launcher...
Thx Blaui

I'd like landscape home screens, too. It's weird they didn't already give us this. Didn't the GSII have landscape home screens? I don't think it's just a tablet thing.

Indeed, Samsung should have given the option to have LANDSCAPE MODE / AUTO ROTATION even in the TOUCHWIZ homescreen, if at all they dare to call NOTE as a Tablet. Its strange that they have missed such an important need of their customers!!
By the way, Blaui, there are MODs available for this, however as obvious, you will need to root with custom recovery (CWM). May be this link will help you further:

and, I am sure for NOTE rooting and cwm, you can refer to this superb thread from Dr. Ketan: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360
(Thanks Ketan, yet again)
Something weird happened. I have stock rom KL7 on my Note with CF-rooted kernel. I was playing Majesty, which is in landscape mode. I let the game run, as I was doing something else. After a while the game somehow closed itself and my home screen was in landscape mode! I turned the device around and it changed back to portrait and couldn't get it back to landscape.

I'm using Rotation Locker to achieve Touchwiz landscape homescreen.
Search in market for Rotation Locker by madmack
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)
Hi, got my T5 recently and met with some strange and annoying problems with regards to orientation/rotation with apps such as Tradingview and Investing.com, which somehow insists the bottom side of the portrait mode be the side where the power button is located. Though I doubt the problem is with the apps. Anyone saw the same and have any solution/suggestions? Thanks in advance.
Homescreen rotation stuck on portrait mode.
Had a problem with the homescreen which stuck at portrait mode even the auto-rotate function was turned on (blue in task bar and on in screen settings). Was really annoying, suddenly all other apps rotate but not the home screen ?
Found out there is a dedicated setting for the home screen, hold your finger on the homescreen background for a couple of seconds and the screen will give you access to widgets, wallpapers and a setting button which leads to another homescreen setting which also have a auto-rotate switch. That was somehow turned off in my case. After switching it back on it works again. Apps and Homescreen rotation fixed.
