Ok finally figured it out how to do that. It fairly simple. It is done by a use of UIDevice class which provides notifications for device orientation. Here is how I implemented view transitions when device changes orientation without UIView's self autorotate methods. Hope someone finds this useful.

- (void)applicationDidFinishLaunching:(UIApplication *)application {
	[window addSubview:tabBarController.view];
	
	[[UIDevice currentDevice] beginGeneratingDeviceOrientationNotifications];	
	[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
										  selector:@selector(didRotate:)
										  name:@"UIDeviceOrientationDidChangeNotification" 
										  object:nil];	
    
	if ([self isDataSourceAvailable] == NO) {
        return;
    }
}

- (void) didRotate:(NSNotification *)notification
{	
	UIDeviceOrientation orientation = [[UIDevice currentDevice] orientation];
	
	if (orientation == UIDeviceOrientationLandscapeLeft || orientation == UIDeviceOrientationLandscapeRight)
	{
           //view transition code in here
	}
}

BR,
