Is there any way to disable camera orientation on the EVO? I'm currently running a Sense ROM (Calkulins 1.7.7) but would like to do this for AOSP as well since sometimes I run CM.
Basically, I always want my camera in portrait mode. However, just the slightest tilt of my phone rotates my camera - annoying. Regardless if screen orientation is on or off, the camera always rotates even at the smallest degree of rotation..
Thanks!
Personally, I don't think you can stop it from rotating. You wana search in themes and apps, MAYBE a mod there, but unlikely, I think. Sorry man.

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.
i have noticed that the screen can be rotated to left and right landscape on the Zee with cyanogen 7 but when you use games or video, they only seem to rotate to the left only. is there any way they can be forced to rotate to the right instead?
Videos can rotate either way but it would seem games are written to only rotate a certain way when active..as far as autoposition in landscape. Could be wrong but makes sense to me
dont send me pm's crying about how i hurt your feelings in a thread
cheers spas. does the rotation of video include flash based from websites though is what i wonder. will have to take a look
hey all
i would just like to start a thread talking about the motion capabilities of our phone, commenting on them, and also thinking about new motion uses that may be able to be implemented into roms!
firstly, i love the motion features on the phone, i use the zooming very often in the gallery and browser. I never use the motion to switch icons from screen to screen, particularly because i only use 1 homescreen and i use ADW and i dont think it works with ADW.
one thing that bothers me is that the two finger motion zooming does not work when you are viewing images in the camera app, you HAVE to be in the gallery app. why when you click on the image icon in the camera app it brings you to a different viewer and not the gallery, is there anyway we can change this?
maybe it would be pretty cool to be able to switch pages in a program like Google Currents by quickly flicking the phone left or right from your wrist....any thoughts?
id like to see a feature like the incredible 2 has, that when your phone rings on a table, the volume of the ringer quiets as you lift it up. i would like this in addition to the flip mode, which is pretty friggin sweet too
what great ideas for motion features do all you have? and what do you think about the current useage of it?
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
Sent from my GS3
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 -
Anyone here use this? I try to snap a pic in landscape and it saves it sideways. I can always rotate it, but I shouldn't have to. Camera ICS saves them correctly.
Using Tiny's CM10.1 rom.
Does the same for me. Cant find any setting to change it. I dont actually use the app anymore, but bought it back at christmas time when they had the sales for 99 cents. Thought the effects were cool.
Just realized that it does work... The wrong way. I turned it volume buttons down and landscape worked the way it should. There doesn't seem to be a reverse landscape option though. I think I'm going to email them and ask about it.

I always hold mine that way to take pictures - and I use Camera Zoom FX a lot, I have no use for the effects but it's one of the few camera apps that handles display rotation correctly. The stock app is the worst, it rotates the whole display and with the glitchy preview it's a nightmare. Camera Zoom FX rotates the buttons and nothing else, much less stressful on my poor Dinc's GPU. It does only work in two positions though, but I never noticed that before and I take a lot of pictures (it's easier than writing stuff down - lol).

I do like the stock camera and the way it's integrated with the gallery, but it just sucks on the Dinc. CZFX is a really good alternative. Camera ICS is nice but I like the look and features of this one more. I emailed them on the 21st. Still haven't gotten a reply. Volume buttons down just feels upside-down to me. lol. Hopefully they'll implement a reverse landscape feature sometime. Until then, I can deal. Just made it my default cam and assigned it to the Search hardware button. I don't use it anyway, so it's nice to have a dedicated camera button. I use QuickPic as a gallery, so I deleted the Gallery2 apk. Freed up some system space. Default gallery seems to take forever to refresh after I move pics around with a file manager (even after hitting refresh).
