Droid respects setRotation. The problem is Droid does not rotate the entire picture. Droid only sets orientation in the EXIF header. Applications need to check the orientation in the EXIF header and then rotate it accordingly before display.
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/hardware/Camera.Parameters.html public void setRotation (int rotation) Sets the orientation of the device in degrees. For example, suppose the natural position of the device is landscape. If the user takes a picture in landscape mode in 2048x1536 resolution, the rotation should be set to 0. If the user rotates the phone 90 degrees clockwise, the rotation should be set to 90. Applications can useOrientationEventListener to set this parameter. The camera driver may set orientation in the EXIF header without rotating the picture. Or the driver may rotate the picture and the EXIF thumbnail. If the Jpeg picture is rotated, the orientation in the EXIF header will be missing or 1 (row #0 is top and column #0 is left side). The problem is not related to set("rotation", 90) or setRotation(90). They are the same except setRotation only exists from 2.0.
