Android app that rotates home screen icons?

KubeDawg · 05-15-2015, 03:39 AM

So there are plenty of apps in the google store that allow me to change the rotation of my screen, but I've not been able to find one that rotates just the icons on my home screen, basically transposing them individually. That way, when I turn my phone sideways, the icons remain in their position that they were in while in portrait mode, but they rotate so I can read them while holding my phone in landscape view.

Here's an example of what I'm looking for (alas, it's only for iphone

):

What phone do you have? I have the Galaxy S5. I guess I never noticed the forced portait orientation for the home screens. As long as the apps allow landscape as needed I'm good. I'd look for an alternate to Touchwiz via rooting but at the end of the day I really don't want to spend that much time farting around with a tool.

Kube are you still looking? Pretty much any third party launcher rotates. I use smart launcher 2

Rotates each icon individually though? I've tried a few different launchers but they only rotate the whole screen.
