Ultimate Rotation Control 6.3.5 (Google)

The Rotation Control app is a reliable tool that offers a unique feature: the ability to lock your screen in any orientation and override app-specific settings. With its 7-day trial version, you can fully evaluate the app before purchasing a license through Google Play.

This app utilizes Accessibility services to determine the current foreground application, allowing for per-app orientation settings. This feature benefits users with disabilities who prefer to keep their screen in a specific orientation.

The "Forced Auto" mode is particularly useful for tablet users, as it enables them to override portrait-only apps or use launchers in landscape mode. It should be noted that certain launchers may display some icons cut off or encounter other display issues, which cannot be fixed by the app developer. Moreover, the NVIDIA SHIELD device is supported, enabling landscape usage for apps that typically do not work in this orientation.

Key Features:

• True orientation lock
• Forced automatic rotation
• Per application settings
• Two widgets and a status bar notification with shortcut buttons for easy rotation preference changes
• Ability to create shortcuts for specific modes
• Tasker/Locale plugin compatibility for screen orientation automation

Supported Modes:

• Auto: normal automatic mode without overriding app preferences
• Forced Auto: automatic mode with overriding of other app preferences
• 3/4 Forced: automatic mode overriding other app preferences (only for phones, not tablets)
• Lock: screen locked in the current orientation
• Portrait: screen locked in portrait mode
• Landscape: screen locked in landscape mode
• Reverse Portrait: screen locked in reverse portrait mode
• Reverse Landscape: screen locked in reverse landscape mode
• Auto Portrait: automatic selection between portrait and reverse portrait
• Auto Landscape: automatic selection between landscape and reverse landscape
• Manual: normal manual mode without overriding app preferences

Remarks:

• This is a 7-day trial version. To continue using the app after this period, you must purchase "Rotation Control (License)" from the Android Market.
• This app does not require root access.
• Some applications may not display properly when forced into portrait/landscape mode. A per-application preference can be set to normal auto or manual mode as a workaround for these issues.
• Auto and Reverse Portrait and Landscape modes are supported from Android version 2.3 (Gingerbread).
• Status bar notification direct shortcuts are supported from Android version 3.0 (Honeycomb).
