[APP] Rotation Toggler

Rotation toggler is essentially an auto-rotate screen toggler application that allows you to enable or disable android's auto-rotate feature. This is useful especially when you don't want the screen to change its orientation when say..you're reading an ebook or browsing a site and don't want your browser to change its orientation. Just long press on the search button and select "rotation toggler" or launch the application in your app drawer and toggle the auto-rotation on or off. It is just that simple! Don't forget to try my other free apps. Ad-supported (requires and uses internet connection ONLY if you launch the app via app drawer).
I created this app out of a request from my friend who wants an app to easily toggle the auto-rotation in his nexus one. Thought I'd share this app with the rest of the world, i'm sure someone will find it useful. Enjoy
You can download Rotation Toggler along with my other android apps here:

You know there's already a free widget in the market that does this. And it doesn't have ads.
It's called "Autorotate OnOff" by Curvefish.

Mine is not a widget, its a replacement when u long press on the search button. so its an alternative. For instance you're in adobe reader, you just long press, select the rotation toggler and you're done. With a widget, you'd have to press the home button, toggle the widget.

I wonder whether you could do that it woulden't rotate the home screen, bot like the browser (ect.) would? And so I don't have to switch manual every time.

buttom customization would be nice (maybe long home press) as search button is being used by couple other apps (Quick Settings, Voice Search)

Actually if i'm not mistaken the stock home screen for most phones won't rotate, at least my n1 doesn't unless you're using a custom home screen like adw or launcher pro. Also this is not possible to disable just one part of the system such as the home screen or the browser. Its either off entirely for all or none at all.
kkssgg > Can't be done for other buttons, apps are not allowed to use other buttons for long pressing as it interfere's with its existing functions (home screen long press - switch apps, menu long press - keyboard, back button long press - well nothing but so far its not possible to long press a back button).

Awesome app! Thank you very much!

Thanks! Don't forget to try out my other apps, I believe you will find them useful too. Enjoy

Actually
long press Menu = Search
never really understood the redundancy. (Well, I guess it's not redundant on the international version without the dedicated search button.)

Just to notify everyone that my android apps have been added to the android market since Nov 1st 2010. Search for "Malcolm Lim" and you will find my apps there. Enjoy

Show keyboard for me.

New version of rotation toggler 1.15 uploaded to android market and slideme market:
http://slideme.org/user/mlbl
New in v1.15:
- New main interface look from app drawer
- Option to display notification icon for easy toggling of rotation
- Fixed several bugs
- Added donate button for donations

Hit me up,
I have an idea for an update that I started to build with app builder, but don't really have time to learn app builder that well although I have a pretty good prototype of how I want it to work... Funny I was using the same rotate icon as your app
Maybe we can make some bucks

Ways to switch off the screen without using the power button?

Could you tell me a few ways to switch off the screen without using the power button?
(Only Off)
1)
On some Roms (CM11) double tap the status bar - but the bar is quite small, so I am often not hitting.
2)
Power Button Widget - creates a button.
Problem is: My homescreen is full. I can create an invisible button above another widget, but this is not always working (Holo Launcher HD)
3)
Gesture with the activity of Power Button WIdget.
Holo Launcher force closes on my Nexus 4.
Are there other ways?

There are Xposed modules that use the double-tap status bar function.
There are apps available that use the proximity sensor to do the same sort of thing by waving over it and/or tapping it.

Thank you. I'll notice to change suitable icon for this

Nice app! But you forgot to indicate if this app needs root or not. And I agree with changing pokeball icon into something more like home button in pixel. The white solid dot. Keep up the good work!

Virtual button in the screen is hidden?

Thanks

What do you mean ? You can't drag from bottom screen up and have them appear ? Is it after you checked the option in settings to have the fourth "hide" virtual button ?

Way to add flashlight to lockscreen or gestures?

As title says. I have been looking all over to do this somehow on my note20 ultra, and None of what I have come across works.
There is a preselected list of widgets to add to lock screen, cannot add anything new.
And same with the gestures.
Is there just No way of doing this either of those ways, or am I missing something?

1. As of saying about gestures for flashlight in samsung,
There is a way to turn on flashlight by press and hold power bottom and then click on side key settings<open app< torch, that will enable you to turn on flashlight by clicking two times 'power bottom'.
But you have to be quick in clicking and just two times click.
If you click three times that will call emergency number of your reign.
2. In the case of lock screen:-
-> Swipe down with fingers then click on settings icon,
-> Swipe down and look for lock screen, click on it,
-> Swipe all the way down and click on shortcuts,
-> Turn it on if its off,
-> Then choose which side you want, to open flashlight,
-> Choose torch.
This will enable you to turn on flahlight by swiping in any direction from torch icon.

Neither of those methods are working for me. Double clicking the power button ooens the camera.
Power + middle is screenshot.
Power + top does nothing.
For the lock screen. I dint have any optio. For shortcuts. The screenshot shiws all thats available to try and change anyrhing available there.

After messing around with it. I remembered womthing about changing the side key functions. I was able to change the double click for camera to make it open flashlight instead.
Thank you for the help

1. Again hold power botton and than click on side key settings< click on open apps and then click on settings icon on the right side of open apps choose torch (first app).
