<div dir="ltr">This seems pretty stable than the previous one. The brightness effect is nice, but the event, apparently, is hitting even if the phone is moved a little (i was trying to type a message).<br>The brightness thing started to feel too much pain, so I killed the rotate instance (from a separated ssh session). Unfortunately, the program had thought that I am rotating and hence had brightness set to 0 when I killed it. So, I was left with a switched off screen :).<br>
<br>So, 2 cents from my side<br>(1) The brightness effect (and rotation) should be applied only we are switching orientation (I am not too sure if accels would give that data directly....but keeping a state can be a workaround...it would give some false positives and negative, but would have a better output)<br>
(2) We might like to put a close program handler which would try to reset the brightness to the last read brightness value (if the rotation was in progress while the program was closed)<br><br>--Vikas<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

</div>OK, new newrotate version, taking usage of brightness to use less energy<br>
and a nicer rotation.<br>
