📱 Rotation – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. What is Rotation?

Rotation is an Android tool that lets you manage your device’s screen orientation. It supports all Android-supported orientation modes and allows you to set different orientations based on specific apps or system events like calls, locking, charging, or docking.

2. What orientation modes are supported?

Rotation supports a wide range of orientation options, including:

Yes. Rotation allows you to customize orientation based on events such as:

• Incoming calls

• Lock screen

• Headset plugged in

• Charging status

• Dock connection

• Specific apps

You can also set event priority, so Rotation knows which event should take effect first when multiple triggers happen at once.

4. How does the “On Demand” feature work? (PRO feature)

• A floating button

This feature is fully customizable and available in the PRO version via the Rotation Key.

10. What permissions does Rotation require and why?

11. Why does Rotation use Accessibility Services?

The accessibility service helps improve functionality, especially to force orientation changes on the lock screen (Android 8.0+).

✅ It does not access screen content or sensitive data.

Enable via:
Rotation > Conditions > Events > Accessibility

12. Why isn’t Reverse Portrait working on my Xiaomi (MIUI) device?

MIUI’s default launcher may block Reverse Portrait orientation. Try using a different launcher (e.g., Nova Launcher) to enable this feature.

13. Some apps behave strangely with forced orientations. What should I do?

If an app doesn't work well in a forced orientation, use Auto-rotate ON/OFF from Conditions to let the system control the orientation for that app.

14. How can I get help or report an issue?

For bug reports, feedback, or support, please contact the developer via email (available on the Play Store listing). This ensures faster and more effective support.

15. How can I support the development of Rotation?

You can support ongoing development by purchasing the Rotation Key, which unlocks premium features and helps improve the app.
