About Rotation Manager - Control

ISSUES WITH ANDROID 5.0 LOLLIPOP FIXED! :)

ABOUT
Rotation manager is a tool that lets you choose which application you want to rotate or which one you don't want to rotate. It is a really simple app designed for the least possible power and RAM consumption.

If you want per app inverse, please download the premium version!

FREE VERSION

The permanent notification that appears when you enable Rotation Manager with "Permanent Notification mode" lets you change app specific orientation while you are in an app, without going back to Rotation Manager


Inverse rotation has been implemented





BASIC FEATURES
- Force the orientation of each app to your liking
- Rotate your device freely, without worrying if your apps will change orientation
- Orientation lock
- Forced Auto option
- Forced inverse portrait/landscape
- App-specific orientation
- Option for permanent notification, called Permanent Notification mode

HOW TO USE
The floating button is the global orientation for all the apps. It is a 7-state button and gives you all the orientation possibilities. Long click to enter inverse modes. Then you can select from the list for every app your desired orientation. Your selection will override the default global orientation. If you want only two apps to rotate and all the others to stay at their default, just disable global orientation and then select both Portrait and Landscape for the specific app in the list. After you have selected your desired apps, just click on play and your settings will be in effect.

Βy enabling "Permanent Notification mode" from "Preferences" an invisible permanent notification starts which ensures that the service will not be killed by the OS. Enable it if you have low RAM problems and the orientation service stops.

I used this app in the past and it was great...but now, it doesn't work at all. I know how to use the app so it's not user error. Apps I have forced into landscape still rotate (very annoying when laying down to read an article and having it rotate just because I moved my hands to scroll). Even my Home screen rotates...I uninstalled and will find another app. Thanks for the years of good service though...

S70%
by S####:

It works... Most of the time, it will work for a while and then it will flip the screen back so I have to go through the menus to disable and re-enable it. Then it will repeat it. When I'm on chrome it works for about 5 minutes and then it quits.

X70%
by X####:

Took a while to enable, active controls in tutorial? Very confusing. However so far app works

F70%
by F####:

The only issue is that it stops functioning when you lock. So when you unlock you have to wait through 2 screen rotations.

E70%
by E####:

Failed as soon as I tried to enable it, then it seemed like it was working and yet the apps I tried it on still behaved as if it were not enabled.

P70%
by P####:

Unfortunately it keeps freezing or crashing. Could be that my phone doesn't have enough memory. Works again after reboot.

X70%
by X####:

Recent update to HTC one m8 made it fail. Worked nicely before. Please fix

U70%
by U####:

It used to work great with older Androids. In Marshmallow, it always crashes with a SecurityException. (Crash report sent to developers.)

H70%
by H####:

I've used this so for years, but now it stopped working on my moto g with the lollipop upgrade. I'll keep it installed, but it's worthless right now. Hopefully it gets fixed.

K70%
by K####:

Please add the possibility backup/restore setting. The app is crashing after Marshmellow update. I believe app reset will fix the issue, but I'll loose all settings :(

Super. andriod5.1 gallery section dont have landscape rotation for images.. So.. By this app i enable gallery both potrait and landscape mode now while seeing my pic in gallery when i turn rotate my device automatically images also turning.. Grate Thank u. Lot

Z70%
by Z####:

I've tried several of these apps and it's the only one that has per-app settings, works with Android 5.x, and is easy to use. It could look a bit nicer but it's good enough.

X70%
by X####:

Slight bug. The option to change the orientation of an app (portrait or landscape lock) doesnt work on the notification screen. Please help?

X70%

Still crashing in MM weeks after reporting the issue.

C70%

It fixed my problem of having to rotate the phone everytime I open Youtube or Twitch. 5/5.

Keeps crashing and doesn't do anything.

Does not work as advertised. Galaxy S7E on Nougat (no root)

Doesn't work on nougat. Seems to have been abandoned after lollipop.

S70%
by S####:

I wanted it to make YouTube the only auto rotating app and the individual settings aren't working.

M70%
by M####:

Yayyyy!! It works. Spent ages trying to get my phone into landscape mode manually, to no avail. This app does it instantly. Thank you!

X70%
by X####:

Perfect app for apps you want to use rotation on and off without keep changing the settings. Works fine on my n5 and t2 ultra!

S70%
by S####:

Keeps crashing out and when it doesn't crash out the forced portrait setting isn't working all apps keep rotating. Same goes for pro version.

S70%
by S####:

False advertising. Said it includes reverse option but it's only available for the paid version. This is the free version.

S70%
by S####:

For now, It's 5 stars. It's doing what i wanted to do, which is to rotate apps that are locking rotation. The other apps I've tried work at first, but then causes more issues than helping. We'll see with this one.

N70%
by N####:

In marshmallow it doesn't work, it keeps crashing and crashing. But I guess it's still a great app. I hope I can use it soon

S70%
by S####:

Works most of the time. Sometime for some reasons it will screw up or not change at all. But the VERY annoying time was I found out I couldn't install ANY app as the INSTALL button was not working at any orientation. Turn out this app mask out the button so it doesn't work. Disabled the Rotation Manager and I could install apps. Enabled again and not working. Should have just one star but I give two because there's no Ads.

S70%
by S####:

Like well so far. Even makes the native rotation control less sensitive. Before you didn't know which way the screen was turning. Couldn't even sit phone down.

D70%
by D####:

I just installed it on my new note 4... not working. Like the idea - all sounds good, but it's not working

B70%
by B####:

I've searched forever for an app that could enable landscape lockscreen while leaving other apps alone. And I don't have to deal with an spacy notification if I don't want to. It also doest interfere with the built in rotation much.

I70%
by I####:

Doesn't work sometimes, but when it does it works phenomenally. Adds rotation to home screen and other apps. If you have an issue with side effects of rotating an app then turn off the rotation that affects the app; Don't blame the rotation manager for something that has nothing to do with it. Some apps just don't rotate (usually games).

Amazing!!! This tool helps much! Especially for Android 2.3! The others don't have Per App Config --->>> You're the only one hero here!!!

This is the only app I found that does the business with Android 5.5.1. Well done you guys!

S70%
by S####:

One of the best apps around. Does everything I want and even allows customization of each individual app. Cant get better than that!

S70%
by S####:

Would be nice to transfer settings to the paid version. I bought it and now I gotta set it up again? I wish I had root. All this needs is a 4 way non forced mode that allows full rotate until the user turns off auto rotate manually within the same app.
