Prevent screen rotation on app-by-app basis - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

Is there a way to disable the automatic screen rotation for specific applications? I thought I'd seen a settings app that did this, but haven't been able to find it on xda or anywhere else. Are there per-application settings that control rotation or is it just the global setting that's available? I've seen mention of doing this by editing an app's manifest.xml file, but am not sure if this can be done if all I have is the apk or not...

Yes i too would love and app that does this. Hope someone writes one soon

still looking for this :/

Its called PerApp... ill post a link soon

One solution...
I recently discovered the Xposed Framework and am using the App Settings module within it to control a variety of per-app settings, including orientation.

Looking for a security app

I have used es security manager in the past and it worked well but recently I tried and it doesn't seem to work at all. Does anyone know of an app that will allow me to be able to lock out certain things. Particularly interested in pass coding my gallery and messaging app. Thanks guys.

I use "App Protector". Works well.. I can set either a numerical password, or pattern password on whatever apps I choose to. Lots of customizable options as well..

Shortcut to Tether Enable?

When I want to enable hotspot tethering I have to go
home screen ->menu-> settings -> wireless and networking -> tethering->mobile->enable
Thats a lot of clicking. Is there some way to get a shortcut? I wish I could stick in the pulldown instead of auto-rotate which I never change.
This is on stock.
You should at least be able to add a shortcut to your launcher for Settings, perhaps even down a level or two.
A non-stock launcher may provide more shortcut options as well.
Without changing the framework (part of the ROM) you can't change the choice of toggles, that I know of.

Ultimate rotation controls.

Hi folks just wanted to share a program I have found called Ultimate Rotation Control. For some time I've been annoyed with the poor rotation issues of this phone even with the work of the outstanding devs adding rotation to Rosie.apk it still wasn't enough! I wanted 180 rotation and rotation within individual apps and websites viewing videos (4od was a culprit of this) and the thought of decompiling EVERY app to change was a very daunting issue.
Well that was until I found URC in a thread somewhere whilst searching various forums for ideas and help. It gives you the power to control every apps rotation individually and/or use a global setting for rotation even with Lockscreen rotation available.
This is a try before you buy 7 day free trail and the licence costs £1.69 which to me is worth every single penny. Hope you like it and happy rotating

not sure why few have seen this thread but this is great! works flawlessly for me using TrickDroid and as silly as this is, the main reason for using team venom's rom is the auto rotation. and now I get it here!

[APP][4.3 ONLY][FREE] Shortcut to hidden setting - Manage INDIVIDUAL PERMISSIONS

Android 4.3 has a hidden part of the settings that allow you to turn individual permissions on and off for apps.
You can get to it from some existing apps, but I've built a simple app that directly launches that screen.
You can get it for free here.
Just installed.
Works exactly as you say!
Review left on playstore for you.

[Q] Enabling Quick Setting Tiles

Can someone please provide me with a walk through on how to enable quick setting tiles? I surfed the forums for about an hour and couldn't find anything specific. The only thing I could find were images of the "torch" quicksetting and using number values to enable them. I used SQLite Debugger (free from the app store) to enable the power saver mode, so that would also be nice to have in my quick settings. Any help would be appreciated.
EDIT: Finally found "EQS list" thread, but no value for "torch" tile
I believe I saw a flash in the this section which enables wifi tether and also adds all the quicktiles. It was posted by runandhide.
