Rotation v6.0.8

Lollipop users, Please Read...

To fix this issue I have applied a hack which is working fine with 99% of apps. There may be some problem in future but it is not reported yet which means that it is stable to use. If your device doesnot has Apps with usage access settings then, just turn off Advanced Algorithm [Settings > Advance settings > Advanced Algorithm] to use this fix.

Thanks for reporting. Please update to v6.0.8 to fix this issue.

Thanks for the feedback. I will make it more brighter in the next update.

Its very difficult to generate accent colour on the basis of selected Primary theme accent that's why there is an option to change Secondary theme accent manually. You can use Accent Picker to do that. I will do my best to improve design and theme engine in the future updates :).

Thanks for using Rotation,

Great App! Working flawless on my Nexus 6 with Lollipop 5.1 :)
[Android Apps and Games] CoolRaoul:
Hello, I'd like to ask the author if he's aware of what's explained in this post: https://plus.google.com/+TodLiebeck/posts/FjQDXnTzKb3

and, more specifically, the sentence

"Google removed the ability for applications to determine what other applications are running on a device. That is, you are no longer allowed to see what applications are running in the background on your phone or tablet. In my opinion, removing this ability has a significant negative security consequence."​

Could this change affect the "per app settings" option ? (note: I'm not an Android developer)
[Android Apps and Games] Pranav Pandey:
Hello,

Yes, I am aware of it and I have implemented a different method to detect foreground app which is also introduced in Lollipop. Google introduced a new API which requires an extra permission (App usage statistics) and you have to enable Rotation under Settings > Security > Apps with usage access (Google+ post). It is working fine in most of the devices. Per App Settings will work just like in pre-Lollipop devices. If you have any issue then, please contact me with your device details.

New version is coming with lots of bug fixes and improvements. Stay tuned !!!

Thank you,

Pranav Pandey
[Android Apps and Games] CoolRaoul:
Maybe an issue and, in any case, a question: by default in "per app settings" all app are ticked and set to "global orientation".

I thought that only app required to have a different setting from the defauld should be.

Is it how it's supposed to work or a glitch in my setup? In the first case I don't understand the purpose of the individual app toggles : what's the difference between an app whose specific setting is set to "global orientation" and an app for which per app setting is desactivated?
[Android Apps and Games] piraeus:
Hi Pranav,

I have just bought an KD-55X8505C Sony Android TV with Lollipop 5.0.1 and successfully installed the Rotation App.

When I chosse global rotation "forced portrait", all apps work fine in portrait mode.

The only thing that I don't know how to fix is that when I play a video (for exaple using VLC), the video app itself is in portrait mode, but the video itself is not rotating.

As you can see in the attached picture, the format seems to be adapted for portrait, but the video is showing in landscape, squeezed into the format.

Do you have an idea how to fix that?

Thanks for your help

Kind regards

Hi,

I'm facing an issue with the lock screen on my device.

It's set to "forced auto-rotate" in the app but that works *only* when the phone not AC plugged.

As soon as I connect USB power, when if the phone is in horizontal position, the lock screen switches to portrait.

I've found a possible workaround which I don't really understand: activating a custom orientation for "charging" (which I don't really need) set to "behind" (built-in help not really clear for this mode)

BTW: my previous question, has not been answered. Didn't found an answer elsewere meantime.
[Android Apps and Games] levone1:
Working great and somewhat quelling my frustration - I've been trying to enable auto rotation on a specific app at the apk level. I try to avoid 3rd party apps to mod one thing if I can mod the apk instead. What I'm wondering is if there's a simple mod that could force auto rotate in an apk that won't respond to settings. I've changed entries in /res/values/bools from false to true, changed entries in preference XML in /data/data, and changed /res/XML value. I've added write settings permissions to Android Manifest, etc, and it just won't rotate. Even when I applied global setting on Rotate, everything else responded, except this one app, (a MM home launcher port). Finally, when I applied 'force auto rotate' in per-app settings, now it rotates. So what's the secret to force it? Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] CoolRaoul:
Two more questions (since the two previous ones haven't been answered I not very optimistic but anyway...):

In "settings", "advanced", "notifications" there's a toggle labeled "secret". I've been unable to understand what it means.

Is there a way to force app UI language to English, even if the device global default is set to a different one?
[Android Apps and Games] CoolRaoul:
Is this app definitively dead?
[Android Apps and Games] evildog1:
Will this app force kingroot to stay in landscape mode?

Because when Kingroot asks for root permission, it force my device to rotate in portait and it will make my device freeze.
[Android Apps and Games] CoolRaoul:
Filled a bug report one week ago, got no answer.

Providing the lack of activity in this thread too I guess that there is no support for that app anymore.

Can someone confirm?
[Android Apps and Games] CoolRaoul:
Ok, I think it's time to search for an alternative app

Any suggestion will be welcome
[Android Apps and Games] Pranav Pandey:
1. Turn it on if you don't want to show notification icon in your status bar but notification will keep showing when you expand the status bar. It will help to avoid Rotation service getting killed in low RAM situations.

2. Sorry, it is not supported yet.

It is related to your app (video player). Please try any other app because Rotation can't do anything in this as we can't interact with other/third party apps in Android due to security reasons.

It is designed to work in that way. Future versions may improve this functionality.

This app is still alive!

Preparing for a reboot! Till then, enjoy all new Rotation (v6.1.2).
[Android Apps and Games] CoolRaoul:
Please consider it as a feature request for the future then (the "yet" gives me trust) :angel:

I hope it's not too hard to implement

Even if my phone default language is set to French, I choose to set "technical" apps to English when available. Most of the time this make things clearer and above all more concise.

Beside of that, I dream of availability of "per app" language settings in Android. Unfortunately it's seem not possible, at least on non rooted devices.

[Android Apps and Games] kkuhle:
It's exciting to see that you are still working on this app. It is definitely the best I have used for rotation apps! Right now I mainly use it for per app rotation and Tasker integration. The new app looks nice but is missing some of this functionality right now. I look forward to seeing what you do with the rebuilt app!
[Android Apps and Games] distante:
Is there a way to include a feature like the one in the old "Rotation Lock Adaptive" app: when the device is locked in (say) portrait and the user rotate it a floating icon appears for a couple of seconds. If the user taps it, then the decide change his orientation to a new one, if not the floating icon just disappears.

[Android Apps and Games] DungaBee:
Hello. Very nice work on this app. The interface and operation is one of the best of all of the rotation apps.

I was wondering if you are able to also extend the auto rotation to the lock screen too. I had a previous rotation app that did rotate the lockscreen but since moving to Oreo that one does not do it. I was thinking your app would, but it does not seem to do it either unless maybe I am missing something in a setting?

Thank you again.

Hi,

When set Auto-Rotate Off for Global Orientation, it will make some landscape apps run in portrait mode. Tried to set the apps to Pause Service mode and it start in landscape mode like it should.

Edit:-

Reset settings to default and configure Global orientation as Auto-rotate off again and problem solved.

Hi all, I gave a look to the (free version) app but I did not find anything like that.

Rotation version 8.9.2

Hello! Rotation has similar feature called as On Demand by which you can change orientation at any time via a Floating head, notification or notification tile (Android 7.1.1+). Floating head is fully customisable and you can decrease its opacity to make it invisible or translucent to avoid any issues.

# Rotation Key is required to use this feature.

Rotation now supports English, German, Chinese (Simplified), Spanish and Turkish languages. Thanks to all the contributors.

Hey,

I have the Xiaomi Mi Mix 2, which has the front facing camera at the bottom of the screen. Xiami suggests flipping the phone upside down for selfies. So I use this app to be able to flip phone when I am in Snapchat, however the camera feed stays right side up, so the image is upside down. But when I take the photo it is displayed in the correct orientation. Is this a Snapchat issue? Or is there any way to fix this with the orientation manager? Or any other way like Magisk modules?

Thank you very much
[Android Apps and Games] Esja:
Could you explain what "Forced auto-rotate" means? I have an issue where the device will "lock" into landscape mode whenever I've been using an app for 20+ minutes in that orientation. For example, I will be watching Twitch in landscape mode for 20 minutes, and when I go back to the home screen to rotate back into portrait, the screen will not immediately rotate back into portrait, but it will take 10+ seconds of holding the phone in portrait orientation for it to finally rotate into portrait. I have no idea why this happens, if it's a feature or a bug. Whenever I check the sensors, they seem to work just fine. So I was wondering of "Forced auto-rotate" would somehow override any potential apps or bugs keeping the phone in landscape mode despite being rotated into portrait.

Or will forced auto-rotate override app settings, like rotating landscape apps into portrait if you turn your phone?

[MENTION=3962236]Pranav Pandey[/MENTION]

Edit: Yes, forced auto-rotate will override any app settings and force-rotate apps that don't typically support other orientations. My follow-up question then would be what the difference is between having this app on "System default auto rotate" compared to just using the phone's normal auto-rotate feature? Is there any advantage in using this app's rotation service if you have it set to default anyway?
[Android Apps and Games] Pranav Pandey:
Difference:

System default Auto-rotate will use the default system settings without using the Rotation overlay.

It is included to avoid issues with some apps that may misbehave if forced to work in a certain orientation like some Camera apps.

Forced auto-rotate will force apps to support other orientations by using the Rotation overlay.

Example:

Instagram does not supports landscape mode by default.

With System default Auto-rotate, it will still remain in portrait mode as Rotation will behave like the system.

But with Forced auto-rotate, it will also work in landscape orientations as Rotation will force it to do so.

Similar behaviour will be applied to other apps like some Launchers (Home Screen) that do not support landscape mode by default.

Hope, it will help you. You can also contact me via email for better support.

Thanks for reporting the issue!

If you have Rotation Key installed, you can check the foreground app by using the Floating head.

Rotation > Home > On demand > Floating head

Please follow the steps below:

1. Enable Floating head.

2. Open Video Player app.

3. Select orientation via Floating head. It will also show the actual name of the Video Player app if it is a part of any other app.

4. After that, it will also appear in the apps list under "Special" category.

You can also contact me via in-app option for quick support.

Hey Pranav. Great app. It's perfect for me!

I use it with either FNG or Edge Gestures. I set a gesture to use the Rotation Manager to toggle between landscape and portrait. Basically to mimic the Pie toggle.

Anyway it works great but there is one maybe bug I've encountered when using YouTube.

If I have Picture in Picture (PIP) mode enabled in YouTube and I use Rotation Manager shortcut (via a gesture) to toggle orientation, it will go to my home screen with the YouTube PIP window playing in the corner.

This is only if a video is playing. If I'm just going through my feed, it works correctly.

If I disable PIP, rotation works correctly.

This is only when using the Rotation Manager shortcut.

If I use the floating head or the quick setting tiles, rotation works correctly.

Long story short, Rotation Manager shortcut causes YouTube to minimize to a window in the corner if I have YouTube PIP enabled.

Just thought I'd let you know, thanks!

For now I've disabled PIP in YouTube.
[Android Apps and Games] Pranav Pandey:
Thank you very much for your support and I can understand your concern!

This is the expected behaviour as we can only launch activity via Shortcut in Android. So, Rotation shortcut launches a hidden activity to do its operation.

This leads to the minimization of currently playing video as YouTube moves to the background which initiates the PIP mode.

I think according to Android architecture and API design, Shortcuts or App shortcuts are strictly targeted to do operations via Home screen (or Google Assistant later) with a major goal of launching different activities (which is only allowed). So, there will be more unexpected behaviours if we try to break this rule.

Notification and Floating head doesn't have this issue as they are controlled by the Rotation service and hence, can directly communicate with it to change orientations. So, no need to launch the hidden activity.

You can achieve similar kind of behaviour by using the Rotation extension which is a Tasker plugin but you have to purchase it first via Google Play.

Hope, it will clear your doubts.

You can also contact me via in-app option for quick support.

[Android Apps and Games] DevanteWeary:
Can I just say I really appreciate such a detailed response! Thanks for the information!

One question: If the shortcut is launching a secret activity from the home screen, why doesn't every other app minimize or even briefly disappear? And also why doesn't this happen when PIP is turned off? (if PIP is off, the video will rotate correctly without minimizing YouTube.

Sorry if I missed anything!
[Android Apps and Games] CoolRaoul:
Hello everybody,

Even if I'm using this app since a pretty long time, I'm still confused about the difference between "behind" and "no change" orientation settings.

I'm unable to imagine a use case where it could be make any difference.

Could someone be able to clarify this for me?

And, according to the built-in help, "global orientation" look pretty similar to two others too.

I've successively set up a app (Gmail) based condition to "no change", "behind" and "global" and didn't noticed any behavior difference so far
