What home launcher are you using? I have Launcher Pro Plus and there's an option in preferences to rotate the home screen. Could this be your issue?

I have tried both launcher pro and stock launcher and I know what option you are talking about though and have tried it both on and off and nothing works...
today i went home for lunch and tried some other ways to fix this and came up with nothing... i tried going into titanium and wiping data for the launcher and that didnt work, then i tried installing launcher pro and going that rought and that didnt work... i still cant rotate the home screen... but i can still rotate no problem in any app i open... ?

i dont think its a ROM issue... i have the same setup on my tablet as my wife and for some reason mine works fine but for her i cant get the rotate to work on the homescreen... and like i said earlier, i have tried the auto rotate option on and off and it wont fix it. rotate works fine within an app, just not the home screen. the problem started when she was on a TNT ROM and so i wiped everything and installed Vegan and same problem is there... not sure what it can be since the rotate works fine for the apps?
Unfortunately, I am having the exact same problem. Any application will rotate just fine, but when I am outside of any application, the display is only in landscape format. I too have tried the system display settings and made sure it is set to auto rotate.
I am using the latest VegaN build.
If you find anythign, please share. Thanks
I am having the same problem too. Apps can rotate, but home screen stuck in landscape. Wiped data and wipe cache does not help.
I'm just a complete novice and I don't really understand what I'm saying (and I don't even have my G tab yet) but I've read of so many weird problems being fixed by partioning the internal SD card that I thought I'd mention it.
Is the stock home screen designed to rotate? I updated to 3588 when I first got mine and my home screen won't rotate anymore. I swear it was rotating on the previous version. I am using classic home nothing insaled, did a factory reset on 1.1.3588.
Edit: apps andsettings page rotate normally
There were two auto rotate options... One in settings, and one in launcher preferences... Did you check both?
How do you get to launcher preferences? Again, I am using fully stock TnT.
For launcher pro it's menu, preferences... Then behavior I think....
I think my gtab had some stuffinstalled out of the box, maybe it was a returned item. First it had angry birds and kindle, I thoughtthese were just included or something. Maybeit had a launcher too. I did a fctoryreset after I updated to prep for custom roms, so whatever was there is gone now. I just thought it was stock before. Guess not.
So what I am getting at is, do the stock viewsonic TnT home screens do rotate?
Sorry, I missed the word "stock" before TnT in your post. Sorry if I confused the situation.
I'm not sure if it rotates or not. My gtab was powered on for exactly 3 minutes before I rooted it and flashed vegan....
Also having this issue where the apps and settings rotate but the home screen does not. Running Vegan 5.1 Beta with the default launcher.
anxiously.
I'm waiting for a good answer. Same prob.
Stock home screen does NOT autorotate.
So vegan 5.1 not suppose to auto rotate home page?? That doesnt sound right
Home Screen Won't Rotate
Chime in to say my stock TNT does the same thing. It's stuck in Landscape but the apps rotate just fine.
Hi Guys,
I've been running CM7 on my SGS2 for quite some time now and decided to update to the latest CM9 nightly yesterday. Everything runs smooth but I have a few issues which annoy me and I hope some of you guys can help me find a workaround:
1. Is there a way to disable the pattern lock (and also the lockscreen) when I am connected to my wlan at home. I had this working perfectly with tasker on cm7 but it does not work anymore on ICS. I also tried unlock with wifi and new tasker scripts with the secure settings plugin, nothing worked
2. Automount my SD when I connect the phone. I used the MultiMount SD Widget on CM7 but it does not work anymore in ICS
3. Reduce the size of the ICS dock icons. I tried with Nova and Apex Launcher but the both do not have an option for that (Unlike ADW EX on CM7).
4. I use swype on CM7 and CM9, but everytime I type something on CM9 there is a notification showing in the statusbar asking me to switch my input method.
5. Slow scroll speed compared to CM7
I hope someone can suggest a workaround for those problems.
i completely agree with this list (except maybe number 4 which i found to be quite handy if you got multiple keyboards installed)
i'd like to add one to the list however:
6. i'm using swype too and i would like to know if there is any way to disable the ics word prediction when selecting a word i've already typed in swype
scratch that, i'm an idiot! can be easily disabled in android keyboard settings

what exactly is the problem you're having with unlock with wifi? is it just that it doesn't support patterns on ics? if so, then you'll have no luck finding another app that does. ics broke the api that allows pattern locks to be turned on and off.
anyone running the new Swype beta? running cm 7.1 and when I select the tablet friendly small keyboard Swype stops working completely? (button in bottom right)
I also have this problem - Nook Color running CM7.1.0-encore
Swype crashed in small keyboard mode, and now is completely nonfunctional. I tried uninstalling, deleting .apk, rebooting, reinstalling over the top... I can't seem to get rid of it in order to do a fresh install.
If you clear the data for Swype and kill the app the keyboard will start again in normal mode. You just have to avoid touching the smaller keyboard button.
I'm running Swype on a hannspad, I swapped to ICS for a week and the smaller keyboard worked fine. Battery drain was too high so went back to GB and the keyboard problem returned.
Hello guys, first some informations:
Device: Samsung Galaxy S3 I9300
Rom: Carbon-rom nightly 21.10.2013 (Android 4.3.1)
Kernel: Boeffla CM 2.0-beta2
Launcher: Aviate
Keyboard: SwiftKey
Main problem:
Launcher seems to be restarting by clicking home button sometimes(Loading very slowly), even tested with sslauncher and its feature "keep in memory".
So thats not the bad part, the bad part for me is that Hardware buttons(back and menu) sometimes just dont work, i can feel the vibration and LEDs are lighting but nothing happens. This happens most in apps like Google Chrome, Whatsapp+, Galerie and a couple of other applications. I recognized that while there are no action by clicking this button in the application, there is an action when drop down menu is dropped down and clicking the back-button make the drop down menu disappear, but in the current application still nothing happens.
Besides that sometimes Keyboard just disappears and it takes about several seconds up to 1 minute to appear again, mostly i disappears a couple of times in the same minute. This happens in almost all applications when i want to use the keyboard, Whatsapp+, Google Chrome, Email, Gmail, SMS...
First i was ProBAM rom user, when it happens there i thought it was rom related, so i had contact with the developer and he said it is CM related but should be fixed in next version, but it didnt.
Now i am on Carbon-rom and have the same thing.. I tried different combinations off apps and settings like Standard-kernel in rom, sslauncher, Trebuchet launcher, Standard-rom launcher, Android keyboard Standard-rom keyboard,,, but its always the same.
So since i am not able to use the phone "normal" i decided to create a thread, i dont want to go back to Android 4.2 so i hope someone can help me with this.
I have six catlog-logs, the first four attached here are from ProBAM rom and the last two(and the newest two) linked from dropbox from Carbon-rom nightly built 21.10.20103, may someone can take a look into it and find if something is wrong...

https://www.dropbox.com/s/loqidkem2858w2v/2013-10-21-21-28-04.txt
In the very last logcat(2013-10-21-21-28-04.txt from dropbox) i had massive problems with keyboard and hardware keys, i hope you can see it in there.
Best regards and thanks so far for help

Hi Guys,
The Fiio X7 is an android based DAP, it's recently received an update to Lollipop 5.1.1. The device can be rooted using Kingoroot / kingroot.
It has a default launcher called 'Launcher3' which I believe is the AOSP launcher and is also able to be set to what they call 'Pure Music Mode' where the launcher can be set to their Music application (apparently closes all background processes). This can be toggled in the quick settings pulled down from the top.
I am able to install a new launcher - Nova for instance, but cannot set it as default, when the option is selected within Nova, the default launcher immediately pops back up and Nova seems to be shut down (not in the recent apps list). This occurs with any other launcher.
Checking any Launcher within Apps the 'Launch by defaults' section states 'No defaults set' and the 'Clear Defaults' button is greyed out. Default launcher applications don't seem to work either.
So the launcher lives in /system/Launcher3/Launcher3.apk and I've managed to replace this with the Nova launcher apk after renaming it to Launcher3.apk via adb push. This causes the Launcher 3 to throw up errors as expected, but after rebooting the Nova launcher works fine as the default launcher. Even persists after shutting the device down / rebooting it etc.. at this point I thought I had solved the problem...
However leaving the device on for some time, something happens and the Nova launcher process seems to be killed. After this occurs, it goes into the 'Pure Music Mode' launcher, pressing the home button does nothing, and as this isn't an actual launcher means that no applications or anything can be launched. The only way to get things working properly again is to re-flash the firmware (it is a update.img) using Fiio's application leaving me stuck with the default horrid launcher....
It seems that somehow and for some reason Fiio have baked the launcher into the firmware making it impossible to change it's behaviour. I'm hoping someone here can shed some light on how to eradicate this.
Thanks
Paul
Really sorry to bump this, i'm sure someone on here will know the answer to this.
Thanks
