Required Permissions
Required: "Display over other apps"
Used to show a transparent control UI that requests screen orientation changes.
Optional: "App usage data"
Used only for per-app automatic control to detect the app currently open.
Troubleshooting
If reverse orientation locks do not work, try turning on "Auto-rotate" in device settings.
How It Works & Limitations
This app uses a transparent control overlay on top of other apps to request orientation changes from Android.
It also runs as a foreground service so control can continue after the app closes.
Because of this mechanism, the following limitations apply:
1. Persistent notification
Android requires a persistent notification while the app is active in the background. It cannot be hidden.
2. Battery and power saving settings
The OS may identify this app as a source of battery use and stop it. Excluding it from battery optimization may improve stability.
3. Security warnings or restrictions
Because this app uses the "Display over other apps" permission, some devices or security apps may show warnings or restrict it.
This permission is used only for screen orientation control. It is not used to read screen contents, perform input operations, or send data.
4. Conflicts with other overlay apps
Other overlay apps, such as blue light filters or screen capture tools, may conflict with this app.
5. Android 16+ large screen devices
On some Android 16+ large screen environments, such as tablets, foldables, or desktop displays, orientation settings may not be applied due to OS behavior.
Important Notes
This app can force orientations that the running app may not support. This may cause layout issues, temporary unresponsiveness, or crashes.
If this app causes issues in another app, that app's provider or developer is not responsible. Please refrain from contacting them about such issues.
