Request: Tighten up auto rotate triggering

I'm wondering if there are any apps that adjusts or replaces the auto rotate feature in android. I often find myself in situations where the orientation switches on me when I'm laying on my side or when I'm trying to see the screen because of an unexpecting notification, phone call or I'm just trying to get the phone out of my pocket.
I like to see an app where the orientation will only change if the specifide angle, tilt and time conditions are met. For example, if you want to switch from landscape to portrait. you hold it at a very exact angle of orientation (ie 90°+/-1°) at a specifide tilt (ie between 15° and 90°) for a specifide time (ie 500 ms) and then it will change from landscape to portrait mode.
I also like to see a setting were it will turn off auto rotate when the tilt goes beyond 90°, like when you lay down on your back.

I agree.
I find if I put the phone horizontally on a table it often will go into landscape mode. It is quite a pain to worry about the angle I put my phone on a table.
Customizing the tilt variables would be awesome.
I am still looking around the internet for a solution. If you find one let me know.

How to limit Auto Rotate to 90° and 180° only

So I know CM7 can do it but unfortunately there is no CM7 for my device. Is there any app or any root file edits to limit so auto rotate just stays upright and then goes 180 degrees?
Im sick and tired of it going upside down and the other way when I barley turn the screen.

Afaik that setting in AOSP ROMs is stored in a .dex file, so unless you have the environment to edit that I do not know of another way. At least that is what I recall when Froyo added landscape right orientation.

I think this is related to how the tablet thinks its default orientation is. The Tab 2 7.0's default orientation should be portrait (according to the Samsung logo), but the OS thinks the default orientation is landscape, which is correct for the 10.1's, but not for the 7.0's.

Is it possible to control screen properties in Android

hello everyone,
I've a question I'd like to ask regarding android, as I'm not that experience with coding, so I was hoping someone could help me with this.
to make a long story short: I've an android stick that I want to use for a Magic Mirror, but those sticks do not have a gyroscope sensor (for obvious reasons) so the screen is always set to horizontal mode. you can change the screen orientation through basic android configurations or apps, but all that does is setting the width of the screen to 50% and the height to 200%, where I really need the screen to actually rotate 90 degrees (as for the mirror I need to use the screen of the stick vertically)
my question now is if it's possible to perhaps edit the android code, through rooting or something alike, where I can control the screen properties, so I'd be able to actually rotate the screen 90 degrees.

Just 180° Panorama?

Do I miss something or is it normal that the camera just take 180 degrees panorama picture?
If I'm on a scenic point, I often would like to take a 360 degrees Picture. But with the stock camera app it is not possible for me. After 180° it stop automatically.
