[Q] How to turn off background rotation? - Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone,
Could anyone tell me how i can disable background rotation on my Galaxy Tab S 10.5? I want my background to be fixed even the rotation is on.
Cheers.

Search in the play store for screen rotation apps. Some let you only rotate a certain app and rotate every other apps. I use an app called rotate to force a certain app to be rotated in a direction without messing up the other apps. But its only a trial and you would have to buy it after a week.

I think op wants his wallpaper to not rotate

I need (want) that too. Been searching for an app or live wallpaper but didn't find anything.....

Exactly what i want. If i use different wallpaper other than stock then it keeps rotate. I would like to turn that off if that's possible. Went through the whole settings but didn't find anything. Btw the apps rotation is good.
Cheers.

[Q] How do I disable auto-orientation wallpaper?

I mean, I understand why the background auto-rotate when we tilt the phone. When accelerometer detect the phone tilt, the screen tilt and the background tilt w/ it. And that's kinda make sense. But, the problem is when you have a tight crop person as a background, and set the background to be non-scrolling. Then I think it's obvious that the background want to be set static in a certain way. Currently I have not found a way to lock the background wallpaper. I mean as I rotate the screen I want everything else to rotate and get landscape/portrait UI as necessary, but the background remain the same whether portrait or landscape. Well, I have yet to found a way. The only thing I came across is to disable accelerometer, but that's not very a solution. Anyone know how to do this?
Thank you,
The only thing I can think of is to find an app on the market that will manage your wallpapers for you. I know they have apps that will set a seperate wallpaper for each homescreen, so maybe there's one that allows seperate wallpapers for both portrait and landscape.
As far as finding a checkbox in Android to do this, there isn't one.

Force youtube into landscape with orientation lock?

Hey guys,
I like to lock my screen orientation to portrait for mostly everything. Games and landscape apps override this which is fine.
The youtube app for some reason is stuck in portrait (it used to switch easily in CM9 on my old i9000m).
So I have to disable orientation lock for videos.
Is there anyway to force certain apps to disregard the orientation lock? I know CM9 has it, but I'm quite happy with the touchwiz features and don't want to switch.
I also want to know about this. My GS1 does it with orientation locked. Wish I could here too

I am still trying to figure out how to play in full screen portrait mode - somewhat like the full screen zoom option native in IOS -
Thought I could do anything I wanted the phone to do with Android.. lol maybe not -

How can I prevent wallpaper rotation on Tab S4 while leaving screen rotation on?

I have Tab S4 (US unlocked) running stock ROM and unrooted. I've noticed a very annoying issue with Wallpapers.
if the screen rotation is left turned on, the wallpaper also rotates. Is there a way to prevent this from happening?
The issue that if we set the wallpaper in portrait mode that looks great, rotating it to landscape the wallpaper becomes pixelated and vice-versa..
Thanks.
I've had this problem too. my solution was to install nova launcher then go to settings-look and feel-screen orientation. From there you select force portrait or landscape. Hope this helps.
Now if only I can find a good wallpaper app besides zedge
