Running a non-rooted G2.
Anyone else notice sluggish screen rotation when going from landscape to portrait or vice versa? It seems like it takes over 1s to switch, closer to 1.5s I would say just trying to count out loud.
The only running apps I have besides the stock ones are Tasker, LauncherPro Plus, Beautiful Widgets (1 large widget on homescreen), BattStat, and SwiftKey.
Any way to adjust the speed at which the screen switches orientation?
Thanks
LP+ does have its moments where it slows down. Original launcher is nicee enough no need to replace it
I've noticed a couple glitches related to this now that I've rooted. It's slow, then it shows the icons and even on screen keyboard in smashed or stretched pixels before it changes orientation. Just for a split second but it's annoying and never did it before.
Yeah, I don't know why the automatic screen rotation is so slow with LauncherPro.
My solution for now was to disable the auto rotate under LauncherPro's Behavior Settings.
The G2 switches instantly to landscape mode for you once you slide out the physical keyboard. No lag this way, but you don't get it to change orientation unless you slide out the keyboard.
I've noticed this too! I thought I was the only one. The funny thing is that when you're in a program that needs the accelerometer there is no lag, but on homescreen there is that slight delay when rotating from portrait to landscape.
I've had this issue with SF, corrected by setting desktop scrolling speed to 0 on ADW launcher setting.
Not sure if this will work on your device.
is there a way to speed up the screen rotation?
its always a delay switching from landscape to portrait in pretty much all apps
unfortunately iphone is almost instant

Great vids there to watch more than one
So, I've noticed that in most if not all new Android builds, scrolling wallpapers have been removed... My first question is... Why!?! Second, does anyone have any thoughts on this? Or solutions to enable this feature manually?

I hate that too. Mostly, I hate that if you lose scrolling wallpapers, you can't use a 480x800 image for your wallpaper. It still will only let you use 960x800, so you can't even see half of the image you're trying to use.
I wonder if there is a way to use a command line or something to enable scrolling wallpapers, I think it makes the home screens look a lot nicer. Especially in Roms with scrolling wallpapers that the lockscreen displays the last part of the homescreen/wallpaper you were viewing.

I found the only way to do this is install some kind of launcher,like ADW,which allows scrolling wallpaper.
My only problem with adding a launcher is that the ROM that I'm using is a little demanding when it comes to phone storage... that and I REALLY like the way it looks as is. I'm using the new WARM ROM, 340mbs if I'm correct...

If you're talking about ICS, scrolling wallpapers do work, but you have to change to a different launcher [at the time being]. Its still being worked on. There were just more important matters before scrolling wallpapers, like overall stability and the camera.
I'm talking about most new builds, I know the ICS builds are still alpha builds, so they don't count.

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 -
Does anyone else have lag when rotating the new camera in 4.2? Its really annoying and it seems ridiculous that google would release it like this.

They only had to rotate 2 little icons... can't understand why they had to apply fullscreen rotation to camera.

Exactly, i thought it was just a bug when i tried the 4.2 apk. I just figured it was due to it being for the nexus 4, i was pissed when i saw that it carried over to the official release.
Please star this issue in to get it recognized by Google:

Everyone make sure you're just starring. No comments. Comments spam everyone that has starred it.
Android Dev about this:
"Unfortunately this is working correctly. The new app has to let the system rotate so that when you swipe over to view recently taken pictures the status bar, action bar, and navigation bar are in the correct orientation. Otherwise you have the bad transition into/out of camera that was in 4.1. We will try to make it faster and more responsive, certainly, but currently this is a "lesser of two evils" sort of thing."

Well lets hope the magic google devs make the animation faster without seeing laggy animation.
This is extremely boneheaded and annoying. The stock Samsung camera -- and every other intelligently coded camera -- only rotates the HUD, not the damn preview image.
Just. Plain. Stupid.
Maybe the new boss of Android will realize this...
Yeah, its the first thing i noticed.
Can i just flash the camera apk from JB 4.1 on 4.2.2?
I turned off auto rotation and it fixes the laggy camera rotation problem. But if you want to view your photo in landscape you have to turn the Auto Rotation back on. I dont use my phone in landscape very often, if at all. So leaving the auto rotation off hasnt been a big deal for me. If there was a way to just turn the rotation off in the camera only, that would be nice.
Glad I'm not the only one noticing this.

This is stupid, how the hell can you take landscape photos?

I always have auto-rotation off.
I can confirm 100% that the camera still takes landscape photos, as it still senses which way is down. But you don't get the rotation animation which slows the app.
The worst thing is that it doesn't need to lag that badly. The nexus 4 is quite quick in rotating the camera app. Thought it is just raw procwssor power at first,but my nexus 10 also is slow as hell in that category. Well,guess we will have to hope that key lime pie will not end in the 4.2 fiasco...

nexus 7 rotates pretty damn quick even though it's just the front camera. that's odd the N10 is slow.
