simple but full purpose rotation lock ?

Hi all,

I've tested quite some apps about screen rotation in android. They're either too simply or too complicated. Gradually I got in my mind an idea of a rotation locker: it could be simple to use but can cover nearly all purposes. Could anybody please help to realize this?

This app will put an icon in the status bar(or,is it called information bar?) in the screen. If user does not click this icon, if he rotates the cellphone, screen will rotate according to android's system settings (auto or not) ;
This app will affect only one appliction's rotation - the current/front one. If user switches to another app, there'll be no locking;
If user clicks the icon, there'll pop up a lock icon at the screen center. This lock icon will stay there for N seconds, N can be changed in settings. Or, make it simple, without settings, just make it 2 seconds. In this 2 seconds, screen will rotate 90 degree clockwize for users' every click of the lock icon ...... 4 clicks makes it back to original direction. And the screen will be locked ... until user switches to another app. Of course the rotation must be FORCE rotation.

That's all. Any response would be appreciated.

~Cheers

There are already a few apps that allow you to set screen rotation per app, which seems simpler.

Thanks for the reponse.
I've tried many. The only thing similar to my idea is an app : when I rotate cellphone, there will show up in screen center a lock in locked status(or not), if I click it, screen will rotate (or not) . But I just can not remember/find which app this is.
