Do you get angry when your screen rotates the way you don't want? Do you always have urge to shake your phone to fix the screen orientation? Now you can shake your phone and it will rotate the screen to the correct position with Shake Freeze - a simple screen orientation control & lock app for your phone.

How it works

- Turn on the service

- Shake the phone up and down in portrait or landscape mode to lock screen in that position

- Shake the phone towards and away from you to swich between tilt (default auto-rotate) and shake controls

- Use the main app to control display orientation manually

Features

- Shake to rotate screen

- Turn Auto-rotate On/Off in app (switch between tilt and shake controls)

- Customizable sensitivity

- Persistent background service accessible from notification toolbar

- Start on boot, start shaking immediately

- Source code available, no hidden secrets

Missing features

- Force lock. Shake Freeze works ONLY in apps that do not have their preferred orientation (typically text apps like browsers etc)

- Current version doesn't change orientation on tablets (probably with most tablets, only the lock works)

Permission breakdown

- Modify system settings - orientation and auto-rotate are system settings

- Run at startup - optional, the shake detector service can start on boot. Default is OFF!

Dev info

Yet another auto-rotate app with a twist (and shake). Made as an excercise, it's my first app for Android that uses more than just display and touchscreen. I've seen better rotation lock apps (but they are paid) and better rotate to do something apps (but they don't have rotation lock). I am releasing the source codes in case you want to check out what the app does on boot etc. I would be extremely grateful if you can comment on the sources too, I am an Android beginner and I definitely have space to improve!
