Looking for an app to rotate screen

[Gertcher]

I have a Samsung S2. I can rotate from portrait to landscape but it will not go back. This seems to be a problem with the gyroscope. I have found a work-a-round here, but I am looking for something a lot more intuitive.

Instead of needing to go to the status screen, the requirement for this app, I would like to be able to pull or push the screen rotation with my finger.

I have looked at loads of apps on Google and only found 2 suitable ones. Does what I need exist?

I hope someone can help.

Thanks in advance.

I am currently using Ultimate Rotation Control (paid license). It does what I need, but doesn't offer the finger swiping you're suggesting. It has customizable functions such as per app settings for rotation lock. I like the set and forget customizing with it.

I had similar issues on my first One X, using a custom ROM, I remapped one of the capacitive buttons to Rotation Locker as a temporary fix.

You can long press the search button for the same effect looking at the description.

Sorry for hijacking a bit but can any of these apps alter the auto-rotate behavior (angle and delay)?
I want my phone to auto rotate when its at say 90

I tried that, but because of the gyro problem UR does not work correctly, that was the first of the 2 apps I have tried.

Thanks Greg

That sounds just a little too complicated for me. I am very new to Android,best if I stick to installing apps for now.

Thanks Greg

You don't need to root etc for the long press of the search button thing to work, it does it out of the box by the looks of things.

No harm in installing to give it a go.

I would prefer to see if I can find an app that will swipe and rotate.

Thanks Greg

Doesn't look like it, that might need to be set at kernel level?

Thanks bro. I just remember having an app that did it on my old Nokia (symbian s60) lol :beer:
