Homescreens not rotating (rest of the apps do fine)

[Vance14]

Is this a known issue, or is it just me? The apps rotate to landscape just fine, Settings, Gallery, 3rd party apps, but homescreens won't. I have the box checked, but homescreens seem locked in place. Is there a solution other than an app to force it?

Most phone UIs don't allow rotation of the homescreen (although it's possible on tablet UIs). I believe this can be done with alternative launchers like Nova Launcher.

Ah, I didn't know that, I guess I have usually rooted and ROM'd my phones so quickly in the past that I didn't notice the default! I will stick Nova on there then. Thanks!
