Rotation Control puts your screen orientation completely under your control.
You can lock or auto-switch the orientation of apps that force a fixed orientation, of your home screen, and even of the lock screen — which is normally hard to control.
It is packed with handy features: per-app orientation, automatic switching based on device state (charging, headphones, Bluetooth, dock), and priority settings for when several conditions apply at once. You can also switch instantly from the notification bar, a Quick Settings tile, or a home-screen widget.
A simple, clear design that anyone can use right away.

[Main features]
►Global rotation setting
Set the orientation for the whole device. Choose from portrait, landscape, reverse landscape, reverse portrait, auto-rotate and more.
►Auto-rotate in all 4 directions
Most devices never auto-rotate to upside-down portrait, but this app's "auto-rotate" rotates to all four orientations, including reverse portrait.
►Works on the lock screen too
You can control the orientation of the lock screen, which is normally hard for an app to do (the accessibility permission is required).
►Notification bar control
Switch the rotation quickly from the notification bar. You can also choose to hide it.
►Per-app rotation
Set an orientation for each app. It switches to your setting when the app opens and returns to the previous orientation when it closes.
►Auto-save
Change the orientation while an app is open and it is saved per app automatically, then applied again the next time you open that app.
►Rotation by device state
It detects the following states and switches to your chosen orientation, then returns to the previous one when the state ends.
- External power (charging)
- Headphones connected
- Bluetooth device connected (configurable per device)
- Dock connected
►Priority settings
Choose which condition wins when several apply at once. Two methods are available: "By priority order" and "Most recently triggered".
►Quick Settings tile / widget
Switch with a single tap from the Quick Settings tile or a home-screen widget too.
