I know this is a noob question but oh well here I go. I normally just download the rom by itself and now i see all these add ons are, and I want to do it! How do I add this on to what I have now, which is cm9 v 11? Once again sorry but remember you were all in my place once. Help a brotha out yo!

Hey man, don't worry about it. I was new once and I remember how it is. All you have to do is download this zip file and place it in your SD card then reboot in to recovery and flash it just like you are flashing a ROM.

Already working

oICS v13 by AOSP already has the default launcher setup to auto rotate, so there is no need to flash this mod onto his ROM. But still good work for those that do not have this feature.

What is the problem? What happens?
at first tried flashing directly. didnt work. no launcher appeared. good thing is that I have go launcher in case bad things happen after flashing. what I did was placed the original launcher2 @ system/app and did the right permissions. reboot then it went fine. the next thing i did was extracted the zip directly and replaced the launcher2 with the one i downloaded from OP did the right permissions and rebooted the phone twice and still no dice. tried this in 3 ICs roms. 2 are kangs and 1 is from iceandfire :)

Strange... one other thing you can try is wiping the data from your stock launcher then immediately booting in to recovery and flashing the zip.

If that doesn't work those ROMs may be using a different framework-res.apk than what koush uses.

Just curious, how did you edit the AndroidManifest.xml? I have decompiled the launcher with apktool and edited some layout files with no issues but every time I try to edit the AndroidManifest.xml file the app just won't work. Any chance you could offer some insight into how you enabled sensor rotation? Thanks!

Are you using the latest apktool? 1.4.2 I think. Also you need the aapt from the latest sdk. Oh and did you install the framework-res.apk?
