Thank you, but my "bug" is not solved :(

Can you add "Forced Automatic" feature? For example this feature is present on "Ultimate Rotation Control" and solve the bug.

Thank you for your work.
[Android Apps and Games] flanker22:
I'm running into a bug where rotation is being granted to the lock screen under certain circumstances.

1. Rotation manager setting: Auto-Rotate Off

2. Enable both rotations for an app for example chrome

3. Open that app (chrome)

4. With the app still open hit the screen lock button on your device.

5. Press the screen lock button again to wake the device.

6. The lock screen will have rotation and has broken wallpaper fit.

Basically whats happening is the lock screen inherits the rotation settings of the app that was open instead of obeying its own rotation settings for the lock screen. Phone running CM11 - N5 experience 2.4 CAF kernel 4.4.2 Kitkat

Thank you for the detailed report. We are aware of that issue and we are preparing a fix. Stay tuned for the next version.

[Android Apps and Games] spirosbond:
We managed to reproduce your "problem". This happens because touchwiz doesn't "normally" allows you to rotate to landscape mode. So, after returning to it from an app that is not configured to any orientation from rotation manager, touchwiz returns to its default orientation and the our app handles it and rotates it.

One "quick" fix you can do for now is to override the orientation of the app from which you return to touchwiz. For example, set gmail to landscape, touchwiz to portrait & landscape, so returning from gmail will be smooth. This will work for any combination for gmail, except if you don't select any orientation.

We may add this "automatic forced" option, but we need to come up with a clever way in order to fit in our app smoothly.

Overall, thank you for your patience and help here. Users like you carry our apps forward.

Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] angisbregolius:
Thank you for YOUR patience...I think your quick fix is ok but it is not really "quick" because i should set orientation of all my apps.

"Automatic forced" global option is included in "URC - Ultimate rotation control", please test this app so you can realize the solution.

Maybe you could think to add "automatic forced" option only for TouchWiz....thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] MJL99:
i love this app. past youtube apps forced rotation despite when the global setting was and it was very handy for watching full screen videos by just turning the phone. with this app i can force it back to that behavior without having to toggle my rotation button in my eqs. thank you very much!

Excuse me, I have a problem with private message on xda (I answer to you but nothing, I don't see my answer, and I don't know if you received it)...excuse me also for old pm.

So i download and install it and it works very fine, the bug is gone awayyyyy!!!

I set only forced auto and active at startup (touchwiz orientation and phone during call are now unnecessary).

Only I noticed that camera app (stock samsung 4.1.2) must be put in landscape on the option in app list of Rotation manager...otherwise it give a display error if i rotate the phone.

Thank you!!!

"Install" button issue

Many thanks for your application. It is almost fine, just one issue:

I have problems with Rotation Manager/Control v2.0_070114 on Ainol Novo9 under Android 4.2.2: cannot install any software when RMC is running in forced landscape/portrait mode - the button "Install"/"Next" is not clicking anymore, only "Cancel" works. When I stop RMC service apk "Install" button works again.

[Feature Request]

I would like to request two features:

1. Support auto portrait mode. (Automatically switches to portrait and reverse portrait modes.)

2. Support auto landscape mode. (Automatically switches to landscape and reverse landscape modes.)

Different phones have different socket layouts on the sides, whether the MicroUSB socket is at the top, bottom, left, or right side of the phone. It's especially cumbersome to change my app's orientations around through the XML manifest and through programming via Java in order for me to debug/test my app on many different devices of different brands.

On some HTC phones, I get two different default landscape modes. Landscape is when the app is rotated to the left for one of the devices, but the rest of the phones have them rotated to the right by default. And it's frustrating. :(
[Android Apps and Games] spirosbond:
We understand the problem and it is our next priority. We just need to come up with a clever way to import it to the existing ui. Stay tuned for the next version.

Cheers

Sent from my spaceship...
[Android Apps and Games] tom_mai78101:
Perhaps, I can help in some ways on clever ideas:

1. The most direct and intuitive way would be to just add two more icons next to the icons for portrait and landscape modes.

2. Some apps with service activities have trigger buttons embedded in a permanent push notification. That can pave way for easier preference setups per app or globally just by pulling down the notification bar, and selecting one of the modes available.

Those are a few clever ideas I can think up on for the moment.

-------------------------------

I do encounter a bug on HTC Desire S. When I turn off global Auto-Rotate, it sets everything to reverse portrait mode. Forced Auto wouldn't let me go back to portrait mode, and kept staying in reverse portrait. This can easily cause RMC to crash.

One UI problem would be the texts, "Auto-Rotate On" and "Forced Auto," where the former implies it can globally rotate all apps in four different orientations and the latter implies only the reverse portrait mode is unorientable. Currently, they are basically the same thing, and they mean the same thing. Shouldn't Auto-Rotate be set to act like what tablets do when they auto-rotate?

Another unintuitive UI problem would be the usage of the word, "Forced," in Forced Portrait and Forced Landscape. It hints to me that the app may support reverse portrait and reverse landscape modes. I think that if the word, "Forced," is removed, the meaning becomes more clearer and more precise.

Thanks again for your response, I am looking forward to the implementation of the auto portrait and landscape modes.
[Android Apps and Games] aiversonx3:
Option to force auto rotate on individual apps would be Super nice ;)
[Android Apps and Games] spirosbond:
If you check both portrait and landscape for that app, it will do what you are looking for.

You fixed the rotation on the lock screen tnx

I'm having another issue I'm using latest rotation manager 2.1.210114 but seen this in previous versions

I reboot my phone I have Enable on boot checked but rotation manager settings Dont work until I open the app then turn off then turn back on. I'm using the same ROM as you n5 experience cm11
[Android Apps and Games] spirosbond:
Hmmm interesting. I don't have that problem. After a reboot the app restarts normally. We will take a look in the code, in case we find something. Are you using any task manager app that kills background stuff? Can you tell us your Rotation Manager settings, in order to try to reproduce the issue?

Thanks for the feedback.

Overlay Bug?

Hello,

thank you for this great app!

I'm running Rotation Manager V.2.2.170214 on my HTC One with Kitkat 4.4.2 (with HTC Sense).

There seems to be an overlay issue with the application. When it is active i cannot click on certain UI elements: As an example in certain apps like Hola Unblocker or OpenVPN i cannot click on "I trust this application" in order to run them. Disabling Rotation Manager solves the issue.

Another issue that I've noticed is that if don't keep 'Phone during call' in portrait mode only, the screen tends to stay on during calls (if the phone is not perfectly vertical) which leads to pushing inadvertently buttons and ending calls. I would love to be able to make calls in landscape mode though.

Keep up the great work! Cheers!
[Android Apps and Games] spirosbond:
Thank you for the bug info. We are currently rewriting the whole project from scratch, and implement all the features you asked for. We will wake a look at your issue and try to fix it. I have one question though. When you talk about the "I trust this application", you mean the grant root prompt? Can you send us a screenshot?

Guys, expect the update the following days, or maybe tomorrow...

Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] TOMs12:

[Android Apps and Games] telemakos:
I don't mean a root prompt as my phone is not rooted, but the one you can see from the attached screenshot. I normally get this prompt when I activate a VPN service on my phone. I don't know whether this is common for every phone with Android 4.4.2 or occurs only on HTC phones like mine.

[Android Apps and Games] telemakos:
That looks nice!

A hint: sometimes it happens that an app misbehaves using it in forced portrait or landscape mode. In that case it is useful to quick access rotation control from the taskbar (I'm using the chuck norris mode for this) and to rapidly identify the problematic app in the Rotation Manager's list (something like 'last used app' or so) in order to disable Rotation Manager for that app.

I've found the issue. On my HTC One (M7) with Android 4.4.2 that option is cut off from the screen in both portrait and landscape mode! I can still click on the blank upper spot though to activate the option.

I've attached some screenshots.
[Android Apps and Games] spydiko:
Chuck Norris is absent :eek::eek: ? We will take a look at it.

[Android Apps and Games] super0dd:
I really love this app, but since the v3.2, I notice that force auto mode seems not working for the lockscreen. Though I know that the force auto mode somehow overlaps with the auto rotation on mode, but it seems that I can still turn on the auto rotation through system setting when the force auto mode is on and that would make it malfunction: the rotation manager would show force auto regardless of actually the device is in portrait, landscape or auto rotated.

I consider the gravity sensor of my device, ASUS TF701T, works well, and the system is without bug. So noticing these occured problem I sent you an email, but got no reply.
[Android Apps and Games] spirosbond:
From version 3 and onwards we disabled Rotation Manager on lockscreen because it caused issues for some users. We may add that as an option with the upcoming update.

[Android Apps and Games] tooobii:
Hi,

since the latest update, Rotation Manager is permanently being displayed under “ongoing” on the notification screen (the screen you reach after swiping down the top bar on the home screen). Is there any possibility to hide it there because it occupies some space for my notifications?

Thank you very much for your answer and the great app :)

Toby

// EDIT: Okay, just figured out that I have to turn of the Chuck Norris mode :) Problem solved!
[Android Apps and Games] super0dd:
Would you like to offer an older version of the rotation manager, like 2.2?

The current version is really full of bugs on force rotated mode.

When I tried to install an apk file from root explorer, how come the screen suddenly rotated to an opposite direction? Why would the force rotated mode malfunction on the package installer?

But still thanks a lot for this.
[Android Apps and Games] spirosbond:
With an older version of Rotation manager you won't be able to even install that apk with package installer... This is a security concept of android system, so we disable rotation manager programmatically on package installer. We are fully aware of that and it is not a bug. If you find any other problem we are here willing to fix it.

Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] super0dd:

[Android Apps and Games] stangri:
I'm loving the app, but the only application I want to be force-rotated is a Google Now launcher, it sometimes causes problems with the other apps I have (Plex and some games, which can display some screens in either landscape or portrait but some in landscape only) unless I only select the landscape mode for them (which I'd like not to).

Anyways, is there a chance you'd consider releasing another standalone app which would *only* affect the Google Now app force rotation and would not affect any other apps? Or is there a setting to enable/disable force rotation per app that I missed?

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] flanker22:

Homescreen buttons missing

Hey spydiko,

Very nice work! Thank you.

I installed this on my DNA last month and it worked great except that on homescreen and apps drawer, the bottom row of buttons disappeared when rotated to landscape and all is compressed to the right-most three quarters of the screen. When I switched to the S5 the same thing happens.

Odd thing, though: I just turned on my DNA and the landscape mode of the homescreen and app drawer now shows all buttons and uses the full width of the screen.

Both are on kitkat 4.4.2 and rotate mgr version 3.3

What can I do to get my S5 to work properly as well.

Thanks, again
