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

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
thanks for the tip
I notice that if I have the auto-rotate setting disabled in the phone's system settings, then the camera won't auto rotate the shutter and camera settings buttons. Anyone know if that can be changed? For instance, YouTube always rotates, regardless of what the system setting is.

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.
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?

So I just rooted my new shield tablet got Google experience launcher installed and xposed but I can't seem to switch the orientation of the lockscreen it always switches to portrait no matter what I check.
What's the issue here?
I can rotate to either orientation as long as auto rotate is toggled on. All I have is root and nova launcher.
