Rotating the homescreen

Is there anyway to rotate the home screen without installing a launcher
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App

You can do that from your notifications menu or go to settings>display and check the auto rotate box
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA Premium App

I know you can rotate screens like internet and messaging that way. But I want to rotate the homescreen like how you can with launchers from the market.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App

which launcher are you using right now? there should be an option to do that

I think he means the stock TW launcher. If so the answer is no. I would go with GoLauncher its the best one ive found that doesnt lag and you can set it to rotate the home screen plus tons of other options and themes. Heres some pics.

And heres it rotated.

I think any custom launcher supports rotation. LauncherPro does also.

I was talking about stock tw but I'm gonna try go launcher and launcher pro
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App

Never liked TW. Not customizable enough for me.

I like both launchers but I think I like tw better. But I have a feeling I'm gonna switch to a launcher

I didn't read up enough on TW4, cause I don't like TW in general, but maybe TW4 will let you rotate your homescreen. Check out the threads on it.

I hope tw 4 lets you rotate the home screen

Yeah it does. Landscape mode.

I'm using Launcher Pro and it has worked out really well so far. This is only my second day with it though, so I'll keep working with it and try out other launchers.

My only problem with the launchers is that you lose the touchwiz dock
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App

lol. well, tw IS the launcher...so if you replace tw, you lose the tw dock. but once you use another launcher, you will easily forget about tw. the gb launchers are nice, so dont be scared to experiment and try something new.

Launcher pro has a scrollable customizable dock; in fact, it has everything tw has and more.

I just started using go launcher ex and I like it. Is there anyway I can make the bottom dock a little bigger. But other then that I really like it

Post your home screen!

I know this thread is somewhere already within the Infuse forums but I don't have the time to find it plus I think it died out so I will attempt to revive it. Like it says, post your home screens and share your ideas!! Here is mine, nothing special but I like the touchwiz launcher.

mclock theme
Here you guys go.
In order to make this work you need to create a folder on the internal sd called mclock. Then extract the zip into the folder. Once you have done that, choose a 4x2 sized mclock template, that should open the preferences screen. Click select xml, and navigate to the mclock foler and choose the third xml. And that should do it

I love it! I recognize Minimalist Text, but how do you get all the text icons? Also, what weather app is that? Are you running GB?

Weather app on the lockscreen is minimalistic text, on the icons screen is beautiful widgets with the plain grey skin. Text icons are done with Simple Text, and yes, I'm running Infused v2, beta 3.

ICS keyboard?

Is there any way to port the ICS keyboard from the ICS SDK to our Charge? I hear it's actually very good.

So I just downloaded it and I'm trying it out now.... not bad so far, only thing is the keys are really small but for some reason its alot faster typing on this keyboard.

You might want to look in to this project:

They do a great Gingerbread based keyboard and they might know something about porting the ICS one.

This works much better than the stock GB keyboard of Gummy, but I still like the new swype better. I don't think anything besides a physical keyboard would beat swype.

I was skeptical of Swiftkey after using Swype so long, but it has very quickly grown on me. It is damn near psychic in it's predictions. I've only been using it a week and I have literally typed entire sentences using nothing but predictions.

It gets better the longer you use the keyboard and the more you use the predictions.

I was an avid SwiftKey user until Thumb Keyboard was listed as the free app. of the day on Amazon. I grabbed it, tried it out, and I haven't looked back. The layout is fantastic on the Charge.

Once you have placed that in /system/app, reboot. Then menu, settings, language & keyboard, enable "android keyboard".
After that, change your input method, by long pressing a text box, select android keyboard.

thumb keyboard has the ICS theme now! and i was just beginning to miss that hepatic feedback

Following up on this as Verizon sent me the bionic to replace my charge. Here is the direct apk, no root required
