Top 3 android launchers 2012

martialaw · Aug 23, 2012

Does anyone of you know a launcher that has the feature of rotating all the elements onscreen if I rotate the phone to landscape mode?
Like the Gingerbread's camera buttons. Not moving the menu bar or notification bar to horizontal position but only rotating icons?
Would be a sweet feature, because launcher in landscape is irritating me, but having all the icons in the right angle could improve handling.

Really? Would you mind telling me where to find the setting? I tried just now but there is just regular rotation.
I would prefer every icon to stay on it's place while rotating the phone, dock and notification bar also. Only icons itself rotate.

Launcher 7 does that.

Yeah, right, but it's a windows phone style launcher... Not for me. Thanks anyways! Maybe the other launcher devs implement icon rotation in the future.

I love Go Launcher ex the best, it is free and its customization options are almost infinite, you can make your phone look like this: youtube.com/watch?v=CiJ0PDJkL3w&feature=plcp

No every shortcut and dock icon should stay on it's place, just rotate on spot. Seems not a single launcher can do this!

Difficult to find an example... like with the Gingerbread camera.

If I rotate any popular launcher, it tries to show the shortcuts like in portrait mode. The whole content rotates.
This usually ends in a width/height-distorted layout where I cannot find a thing, plus the switching animation is annoying.

I only want every single shortcut/folder to rotate, while they all stay where they are in portait mode.
So that I can recognize the icon and read the title.
Widgets, of course, can only rotate if they are square. They could stay how they are, not so important.

Is it that absurd to think about rotating shortcuts on a homescreen?

I like Launcher 7

Right now I'm using launcher 7 with icons and wallpaper from an adw ubuntu theme. Otherwise ADW EX. Go launcher is too bloated and ADW EX does pretty much everything it does anyway for a price, of course.
