Rotation Manager 3rd Generation is here!

WORKS WITH LOLLIPOP (5.x)


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.

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"
*Premium Version:
- Per App inverse
- Automatic Brightness adjustment
- Automatic Screen timeout
- Automatic Media volume level

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. <b>Long click to enter inverse modes.</b> 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.

If you want to enable extra features, just click on the 3 dots next to the app's icon and select which features you want to override in each app.

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.

Nice start. I think the interface layout is a bit confusing, but it works.

Feature request: Per app ability to force different rotation locks, e.g. one app force portrait, another force landscape. Obviously this would necessitate a UI rethink.

Thanks for the feedback. The only way of doing this without root permissions is with a permanent notification. We may add that option for those who have such problems.
Thanks again!

Yes you can force your orientation preference on any app. For example i set fruit ninja to be only portrait at it worked nice. (Although it sucks that way :p)

Hi,
thank you for this amazing app!
I don't understand why this feature is not builtin in Android! :)

I did a quick review about your app here:
http://techcookies.net/rotation-manager-control-which-apps-rotate/

What do you think?

WooW man! Thank you very much. I'll make a reference to your review at the first post.
The review is great! I only have one comment. You say "If Auto-Rotate is On the configuration for each app will be ignored. You can clear all the configuration for each app by tapping on Clear All." Well that is not true. The Auto-Rotate button is System's configuration. It is just a shortcut to that setting. The button that starts our application is the "play" button at the top.
We are still working on the app in order to make it more user friendly, but we are on an exam period right now. So stay tuned...

Thanks again,
SpyDiKo Team
