Weird, its the only option thats grayed out... I'm on Darthstalker rom.
Keep in mind that AMOLED screens are extremely susceptible to screen burn. Having anything displayed for an extended time can permanently ghost it into the display.

Hi ,
I'm sure I've seen this in several videos of pre-release Android ICS ! The home screen and the app drawer rotate in landscape mode.
Apparently it isn't the case in Android 4.0.1 on the GN... Why, why did they remove the feature ?! Am I missing something ?
[Sorry for the likely poor english, not from here]
EDIT: Seems I can't remove my own posts here for some reason. Slightly rewritten to at least make sense.
There has never been official support for that as far as I know. Some custom launchers implemented it.
What I said above was before I saw you mention pre-release ICS. In that case it indeed seems strange. Perhaps it was buggy?
Home screen rotate
I thought it would as well as am most disappointed , as it actually does work perfectly well when you plug in the mhl cable and turn it into landscape mode. Just dont understand why not without the cable , Perhaps a request to be put in for the next software update ?
Exactly, if you connect it to your TV with a MHL cable you can rotate the screen no problem.

Can you take a picture of the TV screen? I want to see what the launcher looks like in landscape.
I took some pictures, and there is a picture of the lockscreen as well ;-)

Hope our friendly hackers here will fix this for us. xD
It looks quite polished, I don't see why Google removed it at the last minute?
Check your settings, the rotate option might be disabled.

There is no such option. I mean there is but it does not affect the main screen.

There is an option. It's in 'system settings' -> 'Launcher preferences' -> 'General' -> 'Auto-rotate screen'.
Your home screen should now rotate between landscape and portrait. Nice and intuitive setting location, right?

It doesn't work on the home screen. Never did on any official builds. The option is there,but it only affects applications, not the home screen.

Why bump a thread from November ?? And there is no such thing as launcher preferences. You are running a rom that has it.

I didn't really think to mention the rom I'm running. I'm running ICS Passion 10.6. In this rom there are two setting for it, one in 'Display' -> 'Auto-rotate screen' which seems to control rotation in apps, and one in 'Launcher preferences' -> 'General' -> 'Auto-rotate screen' which enables home screen rotation.
As mentioned by joshnichols189, I'm running a rom that has the option NOT an official release. Again, my apologies for the Confusion.

I wasn't trying to bump the thread. I was looking for the answer myself and found this forum post. I found the answer myself afterwards and thought I would be witty and post a response. Of course my response was unfortunately flawed, but still well-intentioned. The thread's only a few months old, I really don't see the problem here.
FWIW, at least on my G-Nex, this app allows the stock launcher to either auto-rotate or be locked in landscape: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.devasque.rotationlocker

I've looked around and haven't found a decent solution. gravity box has the option to turn them off but doesn't work, maybe it's my ROM?
In stock ROM, under Settings > Display > Touch key light duration > Always off.
If you're using custom rom, maybe they took that out?

Afterwards, at the top of the Developer Options panel, toggle off the Developer Options so that you can't accidentally turn this on again.
If you ever need to get to the Developer Options: Settings > About device, then tap on the 'Build number' setting until a toast tells you Developer Options has been enabled.

It works as designed, but I think it needs a redesign
Always on display still times out after 5 minutes. It should stay on until the watch runs out of power or i turn the option off.

"Always On Display" is the dimmed / alternative face (depending on which face you're using) that comes on after your normal screen has timed out.
Hmm i did not interpret it that way. Thanks.

There are certain watch faces that can show the whole watch after dim.
But amoled screen has issue with burn in. So not recommended

Yes indeed there are. I make mine like that. And if it's white face, I find they go too dim you can't even tell the time so I've started making inverted colours for dim mode. Whole face, but opposite colours. Problem is though that dim is still, well, dim. If you wanted to show off your beautiful face you spent hours scripting on, you can't unless you don't use wrist gesture

Thanks! But this only turns the ambient display on. I'd like the screen to turn on like the iphone. Such a simple thing but really loved that feature
Oh I see. You can do double tap to wake setting. Otherwise, Im not sure if there is a way to do it in its stock state.

it doesn't have this feature for the lock screen, it has double tap to wake. honestly it's more useful in the long run because lift to wake would waste so much of your battery . try using the ambient display for a bit. Apple doesn't have this feature and i honestly find it pretty useful
You can have this feature if you have no security on the phone ( pin , fingerprint, face,) and pick up to show turned on. Should work just fine
