I have a Motorola RAZR MAXX and it has a nice function that allows me to launch a specific app if I double tap the home button. This is nice, but it is limited by a small predetermined list of apps.
I was wandering if there are any apps available that allows you to not only choose from all installed apps, but specifically allows you to launch certain phone actions ... such as toggling screen orientation lock on/off. Too many times have I been in an app and had to back out to the home page just to change this setting. I would love to simply be able to double click the home button to toggle screen rotation on/off.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi There
does anyone know of an app that i can put a shortcut on my desktop and when i click it, it changes the screen orientation
i know the phone will automatically do it dependent of the position of the phone, but i want to be able to press a shortcut / widget and it then changes it to landscape / portrait
thanks
There is something similar called Rotation Locker (You can search for it in this very forum)
It can be remapped to Search key long press, so you can just hold down the search key and the thing will pop up.
You can also place the app icon to the homescreen from the app drawer, it will have the same function as the long press search key way.
EDIT: Oh and it will force apps into Portrait/Landscape, so even the apps that don't allow landscape will be in landscape.
just what im looking for....thank you very much
Hi everyone,
I usually leave my auto rotation turned off, but when I want it in for a short period (eg to watch a video horizontally) I have to pull the status bar down and select it, then turn it off again.
I was thinking it would be useful to have a shortcut or gesture such as double tapping the status bar or screen to toggle autorotation, or maybe keeping your finger pressed on the screen as you turn the phone as a temporary toggle.
Is there anything like this?
Power Control Widget (surely you already have it).
Yes but a gesture is useful, because when full screen videos are playing you have to press home button, toggle, then go back to it. Is there something like activator for jailbroken idevices

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Search for "Tasker" in the Play store. I'm pretty confident it can do gestures, it's a pretty awesome app if you like customizing stuff like that.

Dear Androidsters
I'm very much enjoying my Samsung Galaxy Note (running stock Android 4.1.2, rooted), and it's waaay better than all my previous 11 palmtop computers put together.
I have four apps which effectively make my Notification Menu into my app launching mechanism [1], since I find this to be quicker and more efficient than the default Home Screens paradigm. I have explored using various app-launching Home Screen replacement apps (such as GO Launcher EX, 3D Home, etc., &c., all of which stick to using the Home Screens paradigm), but I much prefer to use the Notification Menu to launch apps.
Android is justly famous for its 'Customise Everything!' abilities, but search as I may, I cannot find a way of customising a single press on the Home Button. The final finesse would be that, in any and every situation (including when apps are running full screen, where the Notification Bar method of accessing the Notification Menu is absent), a single press on the Home Button shows the Notification Menu instead of the Home Screen (or whichever replacement app-launching Home Screens app it currently launches).
So does anybody know of a customising utility app which will allow me to remap a single press on the Home Button to show the Notification Menu?
Thanks in advance for your help.
[1] Four apps which effectively make my Notification Menu into my app launching mechanism:
Simple Shortcut Panel, Launch From Notification, Settings Extended, and Notification Toggle
There is a way but I know little about button mapping, ask some app developers, they'll probably know.
I've gone from sentinalrom 5 to 6 yesterday and im finding some features that i really enjoyed aren't there any more (or at least i can't find them)
Number one is the ability to use the home button on the lock screen to turn on the torch, and the soft buttons to do other functions, this was very handy for me, but now i can't see that option either under "buttons" or "lock screen"
Anyone know if that capability has been removed or am i just unable to find it?
