Disable Gyrometer Rotation, Set Accelerometer to 0

Custom Code

I'm using the camerAwesome package to create a custom camera app similar to Snapchat.

Unfortunately, this package has a "feature" where it automatically detects device rotation. For some reason, it captures landscape photos in portrait (this is reflected in the image data and in the saved Firebase image).

I am hoping to disable the device gyroscope to just not recognize the phone rotation at all. I don't need the gyroscope for anything in my app.

I've tried using the code copilot to disable the gyrometer or accelerometer but nothing worked. I tried looking up solutions online but none of those worked either.

Has anyone successfully disabled gyrometer rotation across an entire FlutterFlow app?

What have you tried so far?

I tried implementing this action in the main.dart, but it just keeps the app from rotating — it does not keep the camera functionality from rotating:
await SystemChrome.setPreferredOrientations([DeviceOrientation.portraitUp]);

I tried using the "enableRotation: false;" line from the cameraAwesome documentation, but could not get that to have any effect.

I've also contacted the creator of the camerAwesome package, and they were unable to help.

Did you check FlutterFlow's Documentation for this topic?
Yes
