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 was wondering if any of you amazing devs out there are able to port the Torch app from CM7 to function with Sense ROMs?
I love the high brightness option from Torch, unfortunately I can't get it to run on the Gingersense leak. I extracted the Torch.apk file from the CM7.0.3 zip file, and it installs and runs fine, but it FCs when I try to turn it on.
EDIT:
Perhaps it's because I'm using the stock Gingersense kernel... What do you guys think?
Sense Flashlight has 3 settings, the third being very close to High Power on CM7's Torch, remember the High Power will damage your LEDS and can actually burn the plastic if used for too long!
I think the torch app is actually an app from the Market that Cyanogen "ported?" and added in, I would double check the about settings in the Torch app to see if it leads you anywhere.
The Sense flashlight's 3rd setting is nowhere even close to the high brightness setting in the CM7 Torch. It MAY be the same level as normal brightness in Torch.
The Nexus Torch app in the market runs and works just fine except high brightness does not. It seems to, but it doesn't turn on the LEDs.
I can only assume its because the stock HTC kernel doesn't have the coding in it to elevate the brightness of the LEDs.
Besides, it's not like I'm using it for 5 minutes at a clip or anything, I'm talking a couple seconds max. I'm not worried about damaging the LEDs at all with using high brightness.
I want to revive this thread to ask if anyone knows how to edit the app perhaps or if a separate kernel could be used to make the CM7 torch work on sense. I want to include the torch app on my ROM instead of the stock flashlight app because of the brightness and the fact that the flashlight app included with stock doesn't have a widget. This fall I will be taking my first Java class so I will hopefully be more equipped to work on things like this but for now I am completely in the dark... any suggestions??
Torch has hooks into the framework meaning it's not going to work on other rom without that code. The flashlight app from the market worked for me when I'm not on cm.
is there a way to make the Lock screen switch to landscape mode?
it's just unsightly to have the lock screen stuck in vertical when everything else can rotate to landscape mode transparently when using any apps
i run my phone most of the time in landscape mode for better read-ability and well most 90% of games runs on landscape mode anyways.
and when i put my phone down on the dock, i have it sitting on landscape as well, it'll make a nicer "desk clock/calendar" if the lock screen and switch as well
running Jugger ring lock screen
also running Go Locker (nice ICS theme )
Use widget locker dude I love it.https://market.android.com/details?id=com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker

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...

Different graphics processors handle drawing calls differently.

nexus 7 rotates pretty damn quick even though it's just the front camera. that's odd the N10 is slow.
I am currently running a custom ROM instead of TW on my S3. I have noticed that my battery use just takes a dive off a cliff when the screen is in use. I thought AMOLED was a bit more efficient. I try to run with just a black wallpaper and usually enable dark themes on my ROM but the very little screen on time still just kills my battery. I can leave the phone on with wifi running for hours and it will go for a while but the screen just kills the battery. Does the screen color temp help? I tried warm and cool settings and such. Is it this way with Touchwiz also? Overall, the battery lasts me over a day because I am not on my phone 24/7 but the rapid depletion with little bits of screen on time is weird. Is this a kernel issue? BTW I run brightness widget and leave it on 0%. I also use LCD screen filter although that doesn't actually make the backscreen light dimmer as it just places an overlay to make the screen appear dimmer.
Thanks for any recommendations ya'll can make.
Update: Lux allows me to drop the brightness down below Brightness widgets' 0%. This should help out.
2 things.
1 is your device overclocked?
2 and the fact that you are on a custom ROM causes battery issues due to some improper optimizations.

1. Not overclocked
2. I can see where that could be.
Thanks.
