Does anyone know a app that allows you to set certain applications to auto rotate, and others too not auto rotate? I know about all those toggle Widgets, I'm looking foe something that can control the apps ...(something like app protector pro)

I'm wondering if its possible to make the backlight lower then what is the lowest setting on the stock htc rom? If so, roms/apps that let me lower it?
Thanks,

Major overkill for just adjusting brighness, but Tasker can set these very low brightness levels as well - If you have other uses for Tasker automation, it's a very powerful app. On the Brightness front, it can be used to create brightness preset widgets, or widgets which popup a brightness selection menu, and of course to automate setting brightness based on any number of circumstances...
Tasker is paid thats overkill for just a simple task IMO.

Well read my below post
Actually, I waslooking for an app that allows me to turn off the backlight completely, or make it nearly so....adjustable brightness doesn't go any lower then the native widget

Just experimented with Tasker which allows you to set the brightness to a value from 0 to 255, setting a value of 1 didn't look too much dimmer than the dimmest that the system slider would set (on CM7, not stock) and setting 0 seemed to be the same as turning the screen off (CM7's screen off animation was displayed as the screen went blank.).
Hmmmmmm, well that's great....hopefully I can make an app that will do what I want

I'd love that app if you make it.

Its not liking me, I'm having a hard time keeping the screen from going off with the backlight

Can you just set it so low that its basically off but not 100%?
Sent from my Incredible using XDA App
Its not much better then the stock lowest. So I'm not sure about just the backlight being off being possible

Basically I'm looking for an app or a setting or anything that will allow me to customize when and where auto rotate actually gets used. As apposed to just having it enabled or disabled.
Where I could enable auto rotate to only work in browser, games and gallery and keep disabled for everything else so it stays portrait all the rest of the time.
Could the option be coded into a kernal like the voodoo sound control app/feature or BLC?
Any help would be appreciated
This is exactly what I am using. I use tasker app for that. Get it from the market. It can do much more than just this.

+1, I am using tasker for that too but it doesn't really tie in the autorotate to the apps themselves, but rather it enables/disables auto-rotate based on the apps. This means that I cannot specific auto-rotate to work only with, eg gmail but not other apps. I can only turn auto-rotate on when gmail is launched. So other apps will also auto-rotate so long as gmail is running
Try smart rotator. Its free on market.

Hi,
is there a way to exclude apps from autorotation
My launcher has a seperate option, so that's OK but a lot of apps don't and in some cases it's annoying when it switches to landscape by accident
anyone any ideas?
cheers

If its not in the app settings then just disable it altogether

Tasker can do this very easily

My Settings are:
By default disable autorotate
Tasker Profile:
- App needs landscape
- context : various apps (PocketCloud/LastFM/etc)
- task: Auto Rotate ON
- action: Display -> Display Rotation -> Set On
- exit task: Auto Rotate Off
- action: Display -> Display Rotation -> Set Off

a very simple method is using the free "Smart Rotator". There you can enable the apps which you want to allow to rotate. Works perfect for me!
This is very helpful, thank you

Thanx a lot.
back in ljc rotation depended on the active app, now in lk8 the rotation depends on the app that requests a certain rotation, any way to change this?
eg Netflix would be able to get put on top and when i selected the bottom app i could rotate any way i liked, now Netflix rotation is predominant and forces landscape while in multi window... I hate that.

Has anyone got the default nexus 4 camera app that auto rotates even with screen rotation off.
I can't seem to find one that allows this.
If it works on your current Phone, please post it here for me to try.

Sorry I had it, but I lost it.
It is easy to do this using Tasker app. Let me know if you need the profile.
Profile context: launch app (camera)
Task: auto-rotate (off)
+1 on using Tasker for this.

From my experience (stock rooted), even with rotation off, the pictures get saved in the proper orientation depending on how I hold it. The bets part about having rotation of is that you don't get the whole screen to rotate, which delays the camera a lot. Try it!
This is something annoying that Google should fix, normally, its just the buttons which rotate, not the whole screen
