Android Pie adds a rotation icon to the navbar when the sensors detect the device is rotated but auto-rotate is turned off. This is useful but it's incredibly annoying that the icon's background flashes non-stop when I do not want to rotate the screen. I'm hoping it would be possible to disable this flashing with a Magisk module.

Whoa, thank you, I've seen this icon appearing for ~1 sec after unlocking my phone, but couldn't understand what it means and how to make it permanent

My accelerometer sensor has lost its cool. It basically goes in circles no matter what way the phone is turning. This becomes a problem because some apps use the sensor for orientation without having an option to turn it off. So my question is; is there any way to simply turn the sensor off, or disable its output? Just somehow make the OS not listen to it at all.
You can turn off screen rotation in the display settings, might help?
I've done that and it works for most things. But some apps disregard that setting and use the sensor for screen orientation anyway :-\ Thanks though.
There is a widget by Curvefish called autorotate onoff. You could try that, but it may not do any more than the manual disable did.
The MIUI rom has an option for auto rotation in its notification pulldown. I just turned it off and it keeps the portrait view through the OS and 3rd party apps. Might be worth a look.
Ooh thanks I'll try that!
I've got gestures enabled in accessibility but when I have a notification and wave NY hand over sensor area it doesn't wake up or give me a view.
What could cause this?
I used the basic xml file with package disabler. Is there anything in there that could have caused it?

hi,
firstly, the wake up gesture works fine for me. No issues, I have stock Rom (920C device) not rooted and no apps disabled. A few tips to remember. If correct setting is enabled in Accessibility /Dexterity and interaction /Gesture wake up . You don't wave your hand actually, its more of a "slow motion effect /action" over the device /sensor, than a fast wave etc.
Also check some combination in Settings if it is set correctly.... eg Notification reminder and LED indicator (re notification light flashing etc) clashes with each other.
And yes,
if you play around with apps like Package Disabler you must expect that disabling certain system apps can break other apps depending on the one you disabled ?
Good luck
Thanks. Will check all of that.
There is no "Gesture wake up" in my stock rooted N9208. Only direct Call, smart alert, silent and screenshot are available.

That's a different thing, gesture wake up is in Dexterity and Accessibility.
I've got mine "on".
You're right. Found it and it's working.
What is this icon for ?
Auto Rotation OFF
Why this appears all of sudden . Most of the time I off the auto rotation and it's not appear before .
Do you use system ui tunner? This app has sometimes this issue when you hide some icons in the statusbar
Actually, my experience is, that icon shows up when you have auto-rotation on. When you turn auto-rotation off, the icon also disappears.
I thought it was an OS update available

Really odd, in my case, the icon appears when autorotation is disabled! ?
Usually stock for Samsung devices it doesn't appear at all no matter what you have it set to, well not on any of my past Samsung phones anyway.
As said, if you use System UI Tuner or ADB to disable or enable any status bar icons, it will show up. I disabled my alarm clock icon & doing so makes the rotation icon appear so I had to disable that too.
If not using System UI Tuner you can disable it using ADB, no root needed.
Code:
adb shell settings put secure icon_blacklist rotate
Hi. Been playing about with phone and seen that there is orientation option under the AOD settings. Choose Landscape or Portrait. But it doesnt seem to do anything, unless im being a dumbass. Does anyone have any idea?
Yes, it does what it says....clock in portrait or landscape. If you double tap the clock, it gives the rotation option and AOD brightness (if you have auto turned off )

I double tap the clock and it gives me the brightness and can scroll music, weather etc but no rotation. Confused.
interesting. I'm on Verizon and the latest update as of the 8th. Can't screenshot it from the lock screen I don't think, but I'll try and grab a pic that it's real.

Cheers. Even uninstalled rotation control app in case it was conflicting but still wont do it. Even tried routines to toggle it and nothing. I will have a play, sure it must something im doing. ?
Attached is my personal build.prop (extra properties) which I append to the build.prop which comes with our Oneplus 7 Pro releases.
This is an accumulated build.prop over a number of phones (so there might be a few properties which are outdated in the meantime).
In addition, I spent an afternoon looking for the properties which are used in Oneplus, APKs, libraries, binaries, etc.
Do NOT blindly apply this (it disables for example voLTE which is not available on my carrier).
Use it as a reference and take what you need.

Hey! I found this looking for a way to make my lockscreen rotate. Do you have any idea why...
"lockscreen.rot_override=true" (Enable Auto Rotation on Lock Screen) ...and...
"log.tag.launcher_force_rotate=VERBOSE" (Enable Auto Rotation on Home Screen)
...absolutely will NOT work on Oneplus phones? I've tried with the 6T and the 7 Pro, and they just ignore them.
Is there some other way to get my lockscreen to rotate? EVERY other Android device I've had will do it. It's frustrating.
Thanks!

Lockscreen rotation shouldn't be a thing on this device because of the onscreen fingerprint sensor. That being said, if you don't care, you can use EdXposed + Gravitybox to force your lockscreen to rotate.

Thank you! Yeah, I don't like fingerprint unlock, so I'm looking into the combination you've suggested now.
All this to make the stupid Lockscreen rotate. Crazy!
