Landscape Homescreen? Is it possible?

OK. so I actually really like the kickstand (wish they had 2 to make the device more stable.. but maybe a case will come out..

Is there a way to get the homescreen to go landscape on this device? It looks stupid sitting sideways but I really like the way the device sits and I can view certain items really well in landscape.

(also any one sees a dual kickstand case let me know.. I like using the device while its on the kickstand

You can try a home replacement. I know that AWD launcher does landscape and so does Pro Launcher.

Does that require rooting the phone?

Neither home replacement requires root. Zeam is also another one but I am not sure if it does landscape. Just read the description, it will tell you if it req root and if it doesnt no harm no foul, the app wont install anyway.

great question .. i was wondering this myself & have been navigating the home page at times while holding the phone in landscape as the app would pick from or switch to reverts .. fast too unlike my tp2 which lagged! ..
if you try 1 of the can u report if it works right ?

Also just a quick tip there are cases like mine the platinum from BBY that makes the phone sit portrait very well.the case has a flat bottom and grips surfaces alot better than the phone alone.
