Sony will introduce a new home launcher shortly that will bring some long-awaited features. Long pressing an empty space in the launcher will bring a new “Home Settings” icon (the Widgets and Apps icons have been combined into one icon to allow space). There will then be options to allow the home screen to auto rotate into landscape mode as well as the ability to adjust icon sizes. Previously, you could only use the launcher in landscape mode if docked.
The pictures below show the auto-rotation setting within the new home launcher. The icon size setting will also be added in a later version. This information has also been confirmed in the Xperia user guide linked below. We don’t have an ETA of when the new launcher will land, but it should be useful nonetheless.
