Android Central Question

I have a LG LML212VL phone and I have auto rotate turned on but my home screen will not rotate. Can someone tell me if there is anything I can do to fix this? Thank you
 
Welcome to Android Central! The homescreen typically does not auto-rotate -- only app screens. If you install a 3rd party launcher like Nova, you can get that feature.
 
Auto-rotation on the homescreen is usually only available on tablets. For phone screens (especially the taller height-to-width screen ratios these days), it'd be difficult to make the portrait orientation arrangement for icons and widgets translate easily into landscape.
 
Now a days a lot of phones doesn't support the auto rotate option on the home screen. I remember having a sony phone with a Keyboard slider that supported the Auto Rotate option and it was a nice phone.
