You can set in the AndroidManifest a property called android:configChanges where you can decide which changes you want to manage in code. In this way, the rotation change animation will be disabled and you can handle it as you want in the method onConfigurationChanged of your Activity.

<activity
    android:name=".MySuperClass"
    android:label="@string/read_qrcode"
    android:screenOrientation="portrait"
    android:configChanges="orientation" />

You might have tried this already, but just in case:

Try defining a "do nothing" animation and call overridePendingTransition() with its id. Maybe something like:

    <set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" 
         android:fillAfter="true">
        <translate
            android:fromXDelta="0"
            android:toXDelta="0"
            android:duration="100" />
    </set>

Sorry, I didn't have a Galaxy device to test with :)
