Is there an app that has the ability the give us a fancy screen rotation? Back when I first had a Hero....I remember there was an app that gave us a fancy screen rotation, instead of going from portrait to landscape with no smoothness.
Just curious if someone knows something I don't....or if an app developer wants a good idea for a cool app that is not currently available

I mean, I understand why the background auto-rotate when we tilt the phone. When accelerometer detect the phone tilt, the screen tilt and the background tilt w/ it. And that's kinda make sense. But, the problem is when you have a tight crop person as a background, and set the background to be non-scrolling. Then I think it's obvious that the background want to be set static in a certain way. Currently I have not found a way to lock the background wallpaper. I mean as I rotate the screen I want everything else to rotate and get landscape/portrait UI as necessary, but the background remain the same whether portrait or landscape. Well, I have yet to found a way. The only thing I came across is to disable accelerometer, but that's not very a solution. Anyone know how to do this?
Thank you,
The only thing I can think of is to find an app on the market that will manage your wallpapers for you. I know they have apps that will set a seperate wallpaper for each homescreen, so maybe there's one that allows seperate wallpapers for both portrait and landscape.
As far as finding a checkbox in Android to do this, there isn't one.

Hey guys,
I like to lock my screen orientation to portrait for mostly everything. Games and landscape apps override this which is fine.
The youtube app for some reason is stuck in portrait (it used to switch easily in CM9 on my old i9000m).
So I have to disable orientation lock for videos.
Is there anyway to force certain apps to disregard the orientation lock? I know CM9 has it, but I'm quite happy with the touchwiz features and don't want to switch.
I also want to know about this. My GS1 does it with orientation locked. Wish I could here too

I am still trying to figure out how to play in full screen portrait mode - somewhat like the full screen zoom option native in IOS -
Thought I could do anything I wanted the phone to do with Android.. lol maybe not -
This app is amazing!!! Landscape mode with almost any stock launcher and you don't even have to be rooted!!! Try the 7 day trial and you will definitely buy the license for only 2.99... worth every penny.
Changes your lock screen too!!

Why pay when you can use Rotation Locker for free.
Sorry but rotation locker sucks!!! Ultimate rotation control is smooth and the auto rotate works on stock touchwiz and sense. Just download the trial one and see for yourself. You can also do it for individually for apps.
Installed this and noticed my battery life went south badly. Also my phome was very slow waking from deep sleep. Had to un install.
Perhaps Sammy will bake a good rotation into the next iteration of TW...

Whats wrong with the built in toggle?
I'm not sure how it's affecting waking from sleep or battery usage. I don't even notice the battery drain on mine. I use it so I can lock the lockscreen and homescreen onto landscape mode. I let the built-in auto rotate handle the rest.
Hi everyone,
Could anyone tell me how i can disable background rotation on my Galaxy Tab S 10.5? I want my background to be fixed even the rotation is on.
Cheers.
Search in the play store for screen rotation apps. Some let you only rotate a certain app and rotate every other apps. I use an app called rotate to force a certain app to be rotated in a direction without messing up the other apps. But its only a trial and you would have to buy it after a week.
I think op wants his wallpaper to not rotate
I need (want) that too. Been searching for an app or live wallpaper but didn't find anything.....
Exactly what i want. If i use different wallpaper other than stock then it keeps rotate. I would like to turn that off if that's possible. Went through the whole settings but didn't find anything. Btw the apps rotation is good.
Cheers.
On the z3 was a feature called smart rotate, this means when you slowly tilt the phone eg when you lay on the couch, the screen won't rotate.
Really missing this feature on my z5c, does any one have a solution?
I use an app called orientation control to set specifics orientations for each app so I don't have this issue, not the same as smart rotate, but the closest I've managed so far
sound promising, a quick search on that title gave me a lot of similar sounding apps, can you share a link to the play store?
