Anyone know how to lock rotation and still have camera rotate? - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Here's the thing, I never use my phone in landscape so I prefer to have it locked from rotating . What happens is that sometimes I need to take a quick picture either through the camera app or whatsapp and I always forget to have to take off rotation. So I was wondering if there's a way to set it up somehow so the camera isn't affected by the rotation lock. Maybe a modded camera apk or something?

I just disabled rotation completely. Then I use tasker to enable it for only certain apps where I prefer to have rotation enabled.

1+ for Tasker here too. You can set it to detect when a specific app is launched and it'll change settings according to your desires.

why are all of my camera pictures come out rotated 90 degrees?

so here's an interesting thing that I noticed.. all of my pictures are rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise. Everything shows up on the phone (in the gallery app) and in google+ correctly (which is why it took me a while to realize this issue), but when I look at the actual jpgs, they are all rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise. Have you guys seen this before? How do I fix it?
original camera app?
auto screen orientation turned on?
original camera app (one built in to the n7100), screen orientation turned off. I prefer to use portrait mode for pictures.. and the pictures are always 90 degrees to the "right". what's funny is that picasa shows the pictures correctly. but windows photo viewer isn't, and file preview in windows isn't. when i export them to a non google service (such as QQ, a popular chinese instant messaging app), it's also showing up as rotated.
any ideas?

it's strange but google+, picasa somehow figures it out correctly.. *shrug* i'll try w/ the auto screen orientation on and see if that does it.

I thought this was a bug in android I found most of my pictures come out the correct way round as in the way I took them but occasionally the odd one will be rotated 90 degrees. This also used to happen with my note 1.

if you go in to the original stock camera app, if you click the cog on the top left, scroll down, there's a setting which says 'save as flipped'
if you click it, it should stop that from happening.
I always thought that was for the front camera

This option is disabled for me on my camera when I have the phone in landscape... And my photos are still flipped.

flashlight: lockscreen + brightness?

I have a rooted 6p running the latest stock rom, and I have two questions about flashlight:
1) Is there a lockscreen widget that would allow me to turn on the (camera) flashlight by e.g. double tapping an icon on the lockscreen, without first unlocking the phone?
(I installed gravitybox and I can put on the lockscreen an icon of a third-party flashlight app, but to run that app I need to first unlock the phone with pin and/or fingerprint).
2) Is it possible to adjust the brightness of the flashlight when used as a flashlight and without affect the brightness when used with the camera?
Thanks!

First of, you do not need to unlock your phone to turn on the flashlight. You can pull down the notification screen even when the phone is locked. to turn on the flash light.
I do not think, you can adjust the brightness of the flashlight without using a third party app. Try Flashlight app.

You can use the wake gestures app. I have it set up so swiping right turns the flashlight on. Works without the screen being on as well.

Is it the wake on gesture app in the store by team.fluxion?
Not what you were asking for, but I use power button flashlight. 3 pushes of the power button turns the flashlight on.
You can also pay for the additional option if you want to turn the flashlight off using 3 presses. Otherwise you have to tap the app to turn the light off.
The flashlight 3 presses are more of a dash dash dash press, slower presses with a short pause between the presses. Whereas the camera 2 button presses are like a dot dot action (rapid presses one after the other Like Morse code).

Screen rotation with 3rd party launchers

After installing NovaLauncher and Apex and have found both are unable to auto-rotate the desktops. Once in an app or menu, the display rotates. Has anyone seen this? I have used NovaLauncher for years now and I've never seen the app behave badly, so I am guessing there is something happening between EMUI and the launcher. I am running EMUI5 on my P10+ and everything runs perfectly. Totally stumped... Is there a setting somewhere that needs to be enabled? Just to be clear, the default launcher works 100% fine. Thanks for reading
Hmm, interesting made me go look as I'm using nova, now my home screen and app drawer don't rotate but all my apps do..including my settings.
Did you try to enable Auto Rotation in Nova Settings->Look&Feel->Screen Orientation?
For me it works on Default, maybe setting this to auto-rotate fixes your issue.
It could also happen because Nova sees your tablet as a phone, as many other apps do. Setting the Screen density in developer options to 711 or higher(my current setting, some lower values may also work) also fixes this.

How do I disable max brightness in stock camera app?

Whenever I open the stock camera app, screen brightness is automatically set to maximum. I get that it's a feature some people like to take better photos but there should be an option to disable it. Other camera apps have this option but lack EIS or portrait mode. Would really like to use the stock app but this one issue is very annoying. Any help?
To enable EIS , click the given link
https://www.xda-developers.com/enable-eis-asus-zenfone-max-pro-m1-without-root/
If you feel that the camera is really important then you can explore XDA for enabling google camera on phone .
The automatic is a default configuration in the phone and you cant do anything for that . Its actually useful because sometimes the display is visible during bright sunlight . Or else install the Nokia camera port on the phone. It will also give the extra PiP feature :laugh:
