Default rotation faker => is it possible

since some apps on the chacha have wrong rotation for some reason (e.g. peak.ar unfortunately switches the rotation modes) i wonder if it is possible to create a program that just fakes the rotation portrait/landscape for some programs.

Run it and select the type of orientation you want your programs to run in. Landscape is for the ChaCha display.

Nope, doesn't work. Landscape detection of programs is wrong as usual.

For example: Peak.ar is wrong and pictures taken with Pro Paint Camera are also rotated 90° wrong.

Whatever this program does it must be for something else.

Worked for me on previous versions of CM9, where the dialer would show up in portrait mode, so it might be something else that's hindering peak.ar. You could email the rotation locker dev asking him about this.

Ok this makes most programs opening in Landscape mode - however they still will "think" that they are in the wrong mode.

What really helps here is only something that fakes the values of the rotation sensor the other way round.
