Is there a way to disable the rotate on the Touch Pro? My annoyance is that some times I take pictures with the phone in landscape..... and when I view the pictures, the phone would auto rotate the screen making unviewable
I see a solution with using different picture viewer. I use Resco,because it has much more functionalities than builtin viewer. I want to disable autorotation while keyboard is slided out. Any hack for this?

By default, Gyrator disables Manila/TouchFlo3D, but long story short, I hang my phone upside by the lanyard attachment near a window to get better reception. Thus, I have enabled orientation switching for TouchFlo. However, the TF3D UI is messed up (the tabs portion of it) when in landscape and reverse-landscape orientation. Maybe I have not explored the options/settings fully, but is it possible to disable specific orientation but allow other orientations (in this case, disable landscape, but allow allow reverse portrait) for a particular program?
Thanks.
If i understand the question correctly, you only need gyrator to switch between 2 orientations? In that case if you look at the orientation tab when you edit the event, you can uncheck specific orientations. For instance, if i wanted tomtom to only switch between default portrait and reverse landscape, i would add a new rule with tomtom as the application focus. Then i would move to the next tab (orientation) and check only portait and reverse landscape. Then I would check Rotate Screen in the events tab and apply. That will limit tomtom's rotation (or any other app) to only rotate when the phone is turned in one of the two orientations.
I hope that wasn't too confusing i almost got lost typing it. =)
I read the question again. You can just check portrait and reverse portrait and leave landscape/reverse landscape unchecked for the touchflo rule.
thanks!
lacrossev, thanks for the detailed walkthough. You (and I) forgot about checking "orientation" in the popup menu when long-clicking the event as this was why my setting wasn't working.
The HTC Pure has a built-in accelerometer that automatically changes the screen orientation from portrait to landscape when you rotate the phone. It works great for websites, email, photos, and video, but not for 3rd party apps like Google Maps and Facebook.
Is there any way to lock the screen orientation, so it stays on landscape?
Thx!
I pinch the screen to view all the windows that are open. I have auto rotate turned off yet the windows screen can be rotated. Is it possible to disable this? It's very annoying. Landscape only display is also turned off.
As the subject said, the rotation (gyro) on the GT7+ is very sensitive. Many times I just titled the screen slightly and the screen rotates.
Can't you just turn off rotation in the quick task settings when you open the notification slider? Is that good enough for your uses?

I can, but I do use the rotation feature. I.e. when browsing the web. It get annoying when I read a PDF, the screen rotates, so I have to rotate it back, turn rotation off, keep reading, click on a web link, rotate, doesn't work, turn on rotation, etc...etc...
I also have an iPad 2 and the rotation is not as sensitive.
Hi,
I am looking for an App to manage screen rotation when you tilt your phone just the way the stock screen rotation app does.
Just so there is no confusion: there are a tonne of screen rotation management apps already out there. ALL of these (AFAIK *shrug*) do not implement a screen rotation thread. Instead what they do is enable or disable screen rotation so that the stock system thread will rotate or not-rotate.
Rather, I want to "replace" the stock thread.
This replacement app would:
1. disable the stock thread (this is easy through the settings.)
2. monitor the two-axis tilt sensors.
3. set the rotation 0, 90, 180, 270 as required.
What is the advantage of such an App over the stock rotation thread?
Well there are several:
A. you can extend the functionality to bump or shake.
B. you can adjust the sensitivity.
C. you can get your rotate working if the stock thread is broken -- which happens on some phones.
Does anyone know if any app implements its own rotation mechanism as I describe?
Best wishes
Paul
bump
bumpity bump
I don't think there are any apps that can replace the stock rotation system, they can only extend the functionality. It's also possible that some can force rotate it if your sensor is somehow broken.
An app called "Rotation" adds a floating button that gives on-demand rotation. Though I don't know of any apps that have all the desired features into one. I know there's a shake to rotate app, but I don't think there are any bump to rotate apps.
is it possible to change an app's orientation using this so that it opens up only in portrait instead of always in landscape?

that does not make sense
if you can (1) read the sensor, and (2) you can force rotate, and (3) you can disable the stock rotation system,
then that 1..3 means that you are effectively replacing the stock rotation system.

The app that I named in my previous post doesn't work if rotation is disabled.
It has a small switch in the top right corner which turns on its service, which in turn also turns on the auto rotation system of Android.
I haven't used any other rotation apps except the one I mentioned, but I'm pretty sure they all require auto rotation to be turned on.
And that's what I would call "an extension of the stock functionality", because a replacement wouldn't require the stock system to be turned on, correct?
I use tasker for this. You choose the apps you want to be able to rotate the screen or you choose the orientation you like for that app. The system orientation is untouched by this.
Not sure if you really looking for this but that's how I handle my gallery, youtube, ... (rotation enabled, brightness to 90%). After you exit the app everything switches back like before (in this case only brightness to 25% because orientation is still disabled by the system).
