Expected behavior

There is a feature "force use of accelerometer" in phimpme gallery and camera application which rotates the screen even if the auto rotation on a device is turned off and this feature is supposed to work in whole application.

Actual behavior

While it does work when we open a photo but it does not work when we are on the home page of phimpme and also when we open a folder.
It cannot be intended behaviour as it is supposed to work on whole phimpme application.
When I turned on auto rotation on my device, the homepage of phimpme also rotated and therefore force use of accelerometer feature should also rotate the screen on homepage.

How to reproduce

  • Go to phimpme
  • Turn on force use of accelerometer
  • Rotate the device on homepage or when you open a folder, the screen will not rotate.
  • Application: Phimpme for android (latest version)

  • Operating system: Android 6.0.1
