I don't like my homescreens to autorotate but I do like it when I am using my keyboard in apps such as forums and texting.
Is there an app that will set autorotate to OFF on my homescreens and ON when using my keyboard? Or maybe where I could specify which apps I want to activate it on and have it work automatically?

i'd like to know as well
Not really any apps that I know of that can "detect" when you need the auto rotate function to work. But, I use Switch Pro with the auto rotate on my homescreen and I use Quick Settings, which works on any screen by using a long press on the search button. This calls up the app and I can activate auto rotate and quickly go back to the previous screen. Hope this helps.
Well, there is an app in the Market called "Auto-Rotate Status Bar Switch" that turns auto rotate on and off from your Notification Bar. It works fine and I use it, but I was just hoping for an app that automated the process.
There is another app called "Rotation Toggler" that is actually even better. You can just turn rotation on and off by long pressing the Search button and clicking their icon.
tasker.. you can set auto rotate to turn on when you open specific apps

thanks for the tip
Hi,
I wonder if there is an app to manually select the orientation (in this case of my HP Touchpad running cm7).
All the widgets available concerning rotation are to turn on/off auto rotate.
My problem is I have a broken accelerometer or something like it (different topic here), so Turning auto-rotate on, puts the touchpad in landscape, upside down (when in a case).
So, is there an app where I can truly choose ( like 0/90/180/270 degrees) the orientation of a device? Or should I build the app myself?
thanks for your brainpower!
I've searched everywhere for this one, maybe the API doesn't support it:
I hate auto rotate and I always have it set to off.
But when I'm typing, the landscape mode is very comfortable.
Is there an app that enabled auto-rotate ONLY for when the keyboard is displayed on screen?
I've seen other apps that control auto rotate (force/auto/off) per app - but the keyboard is not a standard app...
Thanks
I don't see why it wouldn't be possible... couldn't a system-wide app just run a check to determine the state of the soft keyboard?

Liking the phone so far, except gesture typing with the android keyboard will not work. I have enabled this in the android keyboard settings, and even tried restarting the phone, with no success. Is this a known issue? Anyone having the same problem?

I have no issue with the app. What is you problem? Is it that when you go to type the regular keyboard is showing? If so hit the globe icon next to the space bar. That will either auto switch to Google Handwriting Input or give you a menu to with the option to choose Google Handwriting Input. If that isn't your problem then please tell us what specific issue you're having.

Sorry, I was not too specific. In the messaging app, or search widget, or any time when the android keyboard pops up, I am unable to use swipe to input text, that is, inputting a word by sliding through the letters. This is in spite of gesture typing being enabled in android keyboard settings. Settings/Language and Input/Android Keyboard/Gesture Typing
Thanks

Oh OK. Yeah it's a known issue. Install the Google Keyboard from the play store. That one works fine.

Next update will change menu favorite app to edge
Does this disable the stock navbar?
Suggestion. Can you add switch to recent app and kill foreground app?

Installed and very impressive. Thanks Developer.
However, is it possible to make "open center notification" to be done in my Galaxy Note 5? It says that "this function don't support my device".
I'm now running Android 6.0.1. Maybe there are some restrictions on this action in Marshmallow...
The new version update 1.6.2
