About Rotation Lock Open Source

Turn on/off Auto-rotate screen quickly by long pressing search button.


When you are lying on bed. The screen changes to landscape. Have to open system settings to disable Auto-rotate screen. Did you find it is really inconvenient? This app provides a super easy way for switching this setting.

And it provides a state icon to indicate the current setting.

Rotation Lock is released under GPLv2 License.

Known issues:
* Can not lock landscape orientation, because Android system does not allow it.
* The lock does work in some apps which do not respect system auto-rotate screen setting.

I wish it worked for landscape too, but it works well enough

Only locks rotation in "portrait". My phone has that ability already!

Hate it taking up space in notifications but if you hide them you can't tell if it's on or off easily

T70%

best with home launcher

I am using a macro app to toggle screen rotation with the volume-up button and tried to use this app in order to see the current state (indicator icon) in the notification bar. At first it just worked fine but after a screen lock it stopped showing the changing state. I would be grateful if it can be fixed.

Rotation locker locks in landscape, thus ur claim is false and thats a better app w/more options

A great idea but why can you not disable the permanent notification, apps like this just clog up the notification bar and to panel and just ruin it for me. You can disable the notifications manually but then you don't even get a toast telling you if it's locked out not. For me, it's a no.
