I don't know if there is one already or if there is a way to do this but I have been wanting an app that allows me to rotate the screen when I want it not automatically. I find pretty annoying with auto rotate or if I want landscape I have to open the keyboard.
The ideal thing for me is to have the option stick in the notification bar and be able to toggle landscape mode. simalar to the app "bar control" I would gladly pay for this app if there isnt one out already.
no app out there likes this yet
droid sans tweak or ahome lite which is free and has auto rotate sorry goodluck
I am using AOSP YMCA Gingerbread ROM 1/28 and I notice I get lag on my screen when it switches into landscape mode. Is there a way of preventing it from going into landscape mode?
Do you want just ADW to stop switching, or every program (except youtube or apps that run natively in landscape)?
Landscape
You can actually turn off auto landscaping.
Home Screen -> Menu -> Display, then uncheck auto-rotate screen. Applications like youtube will still be able to rotate when you put them into landscape.
I think that's what you're requesting.
Thank you that fixed it

Is this only possible with the keyboard extended?

On the homescreen,yes. However any apps that support landscape mode do not need the keyboard out.
I discovered if you use a third-party launcher (LP, myself), the setting for autorotate in the launcher preferences allows homescreen rotation. I'm rotating now...
I've found an app that forces rotation on individual apps. Its called Smart Rotator and it is amazing!

Hey all
I typically like to use my phone in portrait mode, and only want to rotate when I'm watching videos or when I'm viewing photos.
I have used rotate switches, and whilst they work perfectly, I was wondering if there is a solution to what I want.
Is there a mod/app/rule that we can set up so that the phone enables auto rotation in the Album? even if the screen is locked to portrait?
thanks

^Yeah even I prefer to keep my phone in portrait mode at all times, so I know that it's kinda annoying to toggle it on/off every time before opening the album app!
Although I couldn't find any solution for the same, there is a simple workaround. Just search for "ScreenRotate Small App" in Play Store. Using this, at least you could save yourself the hassle of navigating through the Settings every time to toggle it on/off!
you can use Tasker and create a rule to turn on auto rotate when you open the gallery (and other) apps and turn off auto rotate when you exit it

In the Tasks, you create one for turning on auto-rotate (action -> display -> display rotation -> on) and one for turning off (action -> display -> display rotation -> off). So there's 2 tasks total for this. Then in profiles, create one based on Application context, choose the applications you want and hit back, then pick the Enter task (auto-rotate on). Then long-hold the Enter task that just showed up, and choose Add Exit Task, where you'll pick the auto-rotate off task.
If you still need help (and if I have time later), I can add screenshots of the process.

the lockscreen and homescreen only rotates when you have it connected to the dock. Curently you cannot rotate the the lockscreen, homescreen and app menu screen. This is a restriction that the xperia home launcher has, you can install an alternative home launcher from the the play store if you want to have the rotate function. Development for this phone is slow at the moment because of the issues that arise when you unlock the bootloader, once Sony sorts this, im sure a dev will be able to enable the function.
Use Ultimate Rotation Control from the play store.
You can set a rule that it forces landscape while in dock. It's working perfectly for me.
