This application, simply put, allows you to have your applications rotate depending on how you hold your phone.

Not much more I can say there really.

Known issues (that I can fix): rotating some applications, especially those that rotate themselves can cause your phone to reboot. You have been warned.

Known issues that I can't fix: A lot of applications look really, really ugly in portrait/reverse-portrait mode. If they are from extras, file bugs, and hopefully the authors can fix them.

Future features include blacklisting certain applications to certain directions or to not try rotate them at all (e.g. browser, which has its own rotation), and anything else that people can come up with.

Original inspiration for this should be credited to rotate.py (original author unknown) - I'm just trying to take this a bit further.

Now available in extras-devel 'Desktop' category as 'rotatedaemon'.
