[APP]Rotation Lock Adaptive - Rotate anyway you want

Title says it all you can rotate your screen on your likes.
Adaptive rotation - if you find automatic screen rotation annoying then this app is for you. It will detect the device's orientation and show a transparent button to let you decide whether the screen should be rotated to landscape or portrait
Lock the screen in landscape or portrait - it will lock the screen the way you want even when some apps don't offer certain orientation
Increase productivity - unnecessary rotation will distract you and interrupt your workflow!
Power saving - every screen rotation will involve a lot of computation. By reducing unnecessary rotation the battery will last a bit longer
There are 8 modes which can be chosen in notification bar:
1. Adaptive mode - detect the device's orientation and prompt you whether to rotate the orientation
2. Landscape - force the orientation in landscape
3. Portrait - force the orientation in portrait
4. Reverse Portrait - force the orientation in reverse portrait
5. Reverse Landscape - force the orientation in reverse Landscape
6. Force auto - automatically rotate the screen in all orientation
7. Stock auto - exactly the same as original auto mode
8. Stock portrait - exactly the same as original portrait mode

Hello I use this app. It has one bug: wanting to customize settings for individual applications but the list loads infinitely.
Sent from LT22i using Tapatalk 2

I concur. It's annoying that it's slow-loading every time I want to customize per app rotation.
Also, it would be nice to have FORCE PORTRAIT, for the home pages. That is, Force Portrait = stock portrait or reverse portrait.
Fix these two and I will rate 6 stars, if allowed.

I just tried out this app and thought it was great so bought the full version. However, the option to hide the notification tray icon (which is one of the features of the paid version) did not work for me. Until I can hide the notifcation I won't be using this app which is a shame because I really like the concept. I am using a Nexus 5 with stock Android
I also think there is room for further improvement. Eg. I would like to be able to control the duration of time that the 'overlay' button appears for. Also if it's technically possibe to control the degree of rotation before the overlay button appears.

This app is soo great! But the adaptive mode is not working since (I believe) Android 6. Is there a fix, or alternative app? Thank you!

I ended up writing a little app myself to replace the adaptive rotation mode. It's not perfect yet, but you can try it here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bubblegumapps.dynamicrotation

Thanks for going to try it! Yes unfortunately currently it's set to only be compatible with very few devices. I'm planning on fixing this in the next few weeks. Will report back here when it's done.
What Android version are you running?

I finally got around to implementing the most important changes to support lower Android versions. Since the fixes are done very roughly, I released it as a beta version only. If you'd like to try it, just opt in to the beta program here. It should work fine on Android 7.0, as my changes were necessary only for Android 5.0 and lower.

I have found a solution on my Redmi Note 4. It has Androi 7.0 with MIUI, so I'm not sure that original Android UI has the same menuitems.
My exact problem was that the overlay pop-up did not appear. After some investigation I have found the cause: the app did not have permissions and it did not ask for it. So I had to set it manually in Phone Settings/Permissions/Other Permissions/Adaptive Rotation Lock(Free)/Display pop-up window. I set it true, and it works well now.

Saentis, could you please also make your app able to override autorotate in apps like youtube and mxplayer? I was able to do this with the old Rotation Lock Adaptive app. Otherwise, your app would be perfect. Thanks.

This took a long time.. But I finally added this feature! You can now force rotation anywhere. There are still some limitations (for example reverse portrait doesn't always work and I frankly don't know why) but overall and also specifically for YouTube it works great!

[Personal Review] Galaxy S7 edge Nougat beta firmware

Hi guys here you have a proper review of the Nougat firmware for the S7 edge based on my personal experiences.
So I installed it yesterday night via odin thx to @laimonas777.
With my own experiences I can say it is not as nice as I had thought.. It's hard to use, it's full with small bugs and delays and sometimes it can even freeze up to 30 seconds (My experiences).
Every app has got the new GraceUI of the Galaxy Note 7 including the settings app.
One of the best Nougat features, the display scaling option has got "only" 2 different options which do not differ that much from the standard option.
Let's talk about the Notification panel. You now have 6 toggles visible at the top but you cant swipe anymore. When you pull the statusbar twice you will see 9 toggles per page. Its much harder to find one toggle you are searching for because of the 3 toggle pages. On Marshmallow all toggles were visible in one "page".
Also the colors could have been better but I think everyone has its own opinion there.
Something which is also weird is that you have a search bar on the notification panel but actually you cant type anything in there. Instead, this textfield will just open the finder app.
The camera has got newer options and a totally different but perfect UI which I really like. But the new color modes are actually not that important features and were also aviable partially in 6.0.
Lets move on to the recent apps panel, which is a big pain.. The recent items got taller just like in stock nougat but the scrolling is a very big pain. Its just as the android nougat developer preview 1 for nexus devices also there are some minor graphical glitches which I have shown in the video.
Another thing I want to mention are the notifications. And yes, they are ugly but i am sure samsung will fix that. On every notification where you can tap for an action (example whatsapp, to reply) is a grey bar, which looks horrible. You can see it in the attached ss
Performancewise it hasnt got big changes but dont forget the delays when opening some specific apps etc. The battery consumption is also a bit higher but all these will get fixed with the final build (hopefully).
But now lets talk about the positive things :silly:. The Multiwindow option has got much better than it was on all other touchwiz versions, in short, its almost the same as in stock android nougat. Another thing which is perfect is the Window apps mode where you can open apps in window mode. We all know how bad this option was in Touchwiz, maybe no one of you ever have used it but now the window mode is very good and snappy. The negative thing there is that you cant deactivate these both modes anymore. So always when you try to pull down the notification panel from the right or left top corner, it will just open the current app always in window mode which is quite annoying.
And something which is annoying like hell is that if you play a game like doodle jump where you dont need to touch the screen the screen always turns off after a while. So the auto screenoff option doesnt get disabled while playing games or (maybe) even while watching a movie.
Galaxy Labs is now removed, so now you cant get all apps on your homescreen and you cant hide the appdrawer.
Remember that this is a very early beta build, and all of these bugs are normal and wont be there in the finale build.
Here is a quick video about the update to see how it looks

What about a dark theme...it was rumoured that Android N will have a dark theme not only that light one. Also the existing themes in store (for Samsung) work properly on N or not?

Keep in mind this is the frist beta released from samsung, so some things might hopefully change by the release of the final firmware. Also, you do have scaling other than going through the developer options. Go to Display -> Font and you will get to cgoose both the Screen zoom (which is set to almost huge idk why) and of course the font size. This comes to be as tha Normal and Condensed options back from marshmallow.

Hey glad to help. nice rview my friend. . :good:
P.S What happened to the hand?

I'm using the ota build and its running lovely to be fair
Touchwiz is rubbish anyways and just install nova which makes Icons smaller

thanks for the corrections, in stock nougat there is an extra option for the display scaling. I didnt look in the font scale thought its just the normal font scaling

Hello, thank you for great review. Could you confirm one exciting feature of android 7 (atleast for me) that it works on this phone beta software.
As of Android 7.0 phone can read 2G/3G/LTE frequency without ROOT. Easiest way is to install app Cellmapper(mapping cell towers to map) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cellmapper.net.cellmapper&hl=en
Could you run this app and post screenshot while connected to LTE only(no wifi)? Also, maybe send debug report from settings menu to developer with screenshot.
Thank you

Strange review .... I have been using it also since yesterday, and it is faster and smoother then my MM stock ...
Agreed there is some laggs when double tapping the multi tasking bouton, but overall its snapier and more responsive.
Also I have not noticed any freeze. I find this beta very polished to be honest.
Have you done a full wipe before installing ? or OTA ?

Thank you. Does not seem to report more info than in android 6.0.1. If you see LTE band reported on Cellmapper screen you can make another screenshot, but it seems that this functionality might not be there.

It's not a review, it's a rant. I literally have no issues with it, no freezes what so ever, it's actually snappier than MM.

I think the 'review' tag should be removed from this thread or it should be locked, as it is full of false information and the corrections to that false information have been given, but the 'review' hasn't been updated. If people read this thread thinking it is accurate, they will get false information.
The comment about display options, for instance, is just the OP not knowing what to do. It's not something wrong or an option that has been removed, it's just a lack of knowledge.

Yeah, I don't get that with any app. The only thing a bit laggy is the "new window" tab animation in the browser and the notification bar. Apart from those two things, it is fine.

PIxel 2 PIP?

Hi All,
I love pixel 2, I can't figure out when PIP works with Oreo, and it doesn't.
I come from Samsung GS6 world, and as much as I hated how out dated it was, PiP worked with EVERY app. all I had to do was swipe the display from corner, and it would make the app overlay. I could resize the overlay how ever I want.
I was surprised pixel 2 didn't have that feature as I always thought it was google feature, and not samsung's.
Are there anyway to make PiP for Oreo and make it work for every single app?

You can only allow it for the apps that show up here.
Settings>apps and notifications>advanced>special apps access>picture in picture
App developers need to add the ability to do pip to the app to have it show up in this list.

On pixel you invoke pip by pressing home button. You'd hate it if it did pip for all apps anyway.

On Samsung you invoke it by swiping diagonally, almost like you're changing the window size,and this worked with every single app including plex. I hate how it doesn't work on this phone.

Updated to android P

Hi all.
Today I received the new android p update. But unfortunately differences are little to none.
Have you received the update yet?
Whats your experience with android p on lg g7?
Have you noticed much improvements?

I noticed notifications are little bit different, you have option to minimize those permanent notifications without being able to see them in notification bar. And you get options for fast reply messages form viber... probably some other apps. But it wasn't there before. And Gestures are here. I still use app called Gesture control for this coz I like it more like that. And ofc there is different recent apps look. Looks better. Other than that, everything is same.

I use google sms app and have had the notification and fast reply already.
Unfortunately I am disappointed that lg did not put any time to improve the ui.
What about camera? I do not see any improvements.

I noticed also magnified view when I try to select some text. And in camera there is now cine shot which lets you make some photos with some part moving like animation.
There is probably more of changes that I dont notice. I use nova luncher with custom themes so I knot nothing about UI how it looks like now and can't remember how it looked before.

If you turn them on in settings you will be able to use swipe right to open recent apps and switch between last used apps.

I had to enable the "Nuanced Dark" theme in customization AND also also enable "Override force-dark" in the developer options. I am having problems with text not showing in the messenger app this way but so far that is my only issue I have came across.
Hope this helps
