Orientation Manager is a simple application to manage your device orientation anytime anywhere. It can be accessed on top of almost any application running (Except full screen applications).
Setting up and using Orientation manager is very easy. It has setting options for
Starting / stopping the Orientation Manager.
Starting automatically on the device boot up.
Force rotate mode to forcefully rotate any application (Very useful for tablets to use applications in landscape mode which runs only in portrait mode).
Force rotate is also useful to rotate the home screen of devices having fixed portrait orientation e.g. Nexus 7, HTC devices, etc.
Option to remove Orientation Manager icon from status bar.
Option to select color scheme which looks better on your screen.
Features-
Rotate screen clockwise or anticlockwise.
Start / stop auto-rotation.
To fix current orientation just stop the auto rotation by clicking on auto-rotate button and to release it just click it again.
Using Orientation Manager is very simple.
As soon as you start the Orientation Manager you will get a Float (floating pointer) on the screen.
You can adjust the position of the Float on screen by dropping it to any side of the screen.
Pull the Float towards the center to open the rotation panel.
Just press back button or pull the Float out of the center and release to close the panel and float will return to its position.
Simple right!!!
Please share your reviews and help me in making your experience better...
Note: In force rotate mode some applications which are designed for portrait or landscape mode only can malfunction on forcefully changing their default orientation.

Is it a possibility to show landscape view when my device's orientation is initiated via either auto rotation (i use gyrator) or through a shortcut (like assigned to a button). As far as i know the landscape page only pops up when you slide the keyboard open but i would like it to show also when i turn my device sideways initiating the auto rotate function from gyrator..

I get landscape view just fine when i'm using gyrator, so i'm not sure why you wouldn't be getting it.

Did you create an event for it? When I rotate the screen with Gyrator then it always ends up in portrait version of TF3D (rotated by 90 degrees) which is messed up.
When you rotate your TP do you get the landscape version of TF3D?
you can also set a long press of the phone key to cause a screen rotation manually: http://www.fuzemobility.com/?p=1200
yah that's what I get not the 8 button view like the hardware keyboard causes when slid open
so nobody solved this problem yet ? I would like to use auto rotate too but still with no succes...
I want to use Gyrator to automatically rotate TomTom into landscape mode irrelevant of the phones orientation.
the reason is I use the phone on my motorbike and it sits flat. Also with the cornering it ends up rotating all the time.
How do I do that?
Currently I have a new event called TomTom and the flag is set to 0. No orientation and no Stylus.
MunichWinClass
No Orientation
No Stylus
Actions. Rotate Screen
How do I get it to trigger just on seeing the app and to only lock it into the Landscape position?
Sort of solution
I have adjusted it so it actions on orientation and it only rotates in Landscape. Once rotated it won't rotate back out.
eg
TomTom : 1
MunichWinClass
Landscape
No Stylus settings selected
Actions. Rotate Screen
Would be nice to have it trigger on application startup detect??
Hey everyone. I was looking around to try to find out how to get the Sense 4 home screens (and lock screen) to rotate and, while failing to find a setting to do it, found this.
Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.devasque.rotationlocker
When you launch the app, long press "Auto" and it will run a background service to auto rotate the screen. Note that hitting "Landscape" made it rotate so the bottom of the screen faced the volume keys and would not rotate the other way (at least that's how it is for me).
Would be awesome if we can really have full control on screen orientation. The default system rotation (even on Android 10) is still super annoying.
Here goes my idea:
Let's just put it that way, the system auto rotation should always turned on for the app to work.
By default, your (new) app has to always display a floating button with unlocked status (i.e. allow system auto rotation to work as usual, don't interrupt). Only when user wanted to lock the current orientation, be it portrait or landscape, then user can click on the floating button once, which will then turned into a locked icon, and the current orientation is locked.
For example, user would like to always browse Chrome in portrait mode, he can click on the floating button to lock it to portrait and won't be bothered of system rotates the phone when he/she lie on the bed or sofa. Then he opens youtube and go through a list of recommended/popular videos in portrait mode (locked earlier), and selected a video to watch, now he/she wants to watch it in landscape, so what he should do is just click again on the floating button, and then it unlocks portrait and now he can use the auto rotate to put the video in landscape mode, and click once again on the floating button to lock the current orientation in landscape! That's it, perfect solution for the annoying system rotation.
Imagine how simple and easy is this and I can't figure out why Google or Apple does not incorporate this in their OS, or perhaps their next version of Android/iOS? lol
Optional (Nice to have features)
You can make the app to always show locked floating button (to let user know current orientation is locked), and only hide the unlocked button after 5 seconds of inactivity/idle. To unhide or call it, user just has to slide from edges to make the floating button visible again and he/she can now click once to lock desired orientation.
S22 Ultra has huge screen and I would like to use it in landscape orientation always, is there a way to set it permanently ?
I have already tried 'Turn your phone the orientation you want it to stay in and then lock it with the auto rotate button from the quick panel. You can lock it in either portrait or landscape that way.'
and didn't work for me, here is the video https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...orientation-permanently.4411873/post-86533919
one approach: use bixby routines and set to rotate to landscape for all apps on open

I dont see trigger for screen unlock
Is this not an option in the pull-down toggles anymore? I'm still waiting for my S22U to come in, but on my S8 you can pull down and get a "Auto-Rotate" toggle. You'd enable that, rotate the screen the way you want it, and then tap it again -- the text would then change to "Portrait" or "Landscape" and the rotation would be locked in.
Turn your phone the orientation you want it to stay in and then lock it with the auto rotate button from the quick panel. You can lock it in either portrait or landscape that way.
@itsXpanD and @AndroidNO0B i have tried this, once i lock the screen in landscape and go back. it returns to portrait.

Search your settings for landscape and the rotate to landscape option near the bottom.

(had to record with other mobile as as screen recording gets stopped when locked.)
managed to make it happen
this is what I was missing.
Huh, that's interesting. Seems to be a more recent addition, there was no long-press menu on OneUI 1.0 yet. Glad it's working now!
