One of the daily annoyances
with Android devices is that
often, apps will open in the
opposite way that you want
them to on
the screen.
Landscape,
portrait -
which way
do I turn the
thing? This
app will fix
that once
and for all.
There's a screen lock button on most
devices, and settings to prevent auto
rotation when you rotate your device so the
screen won't flip orientation modes. A lot of
times, you want some apps to flip between
landscape and portrait, but you want others
to lock to one view. Here’s where Smart
Rotator comes in handy. The app has been
available for a long time, but it's still as
useful as ever.
Smart Rotator is small, works on all versions
of Android, and uses minimal resources. It's
ad supported. When you run the app, it will
take a moment to build a list of apps
installed on your device. Once that is
complete, you can alter the screen
orientation used on a per app basis. A tap
on a listed app will offer you several choices.
Auto, Landscape, Portrait, Auto for all and
Portrait for all. The Auto for all option will
reset everything to the default behaviors.
On a phone, it's sometimes useful for apps
with keyboard input to be in landscape
mode for easier typing. Just select the app
and choose the landscape option. Want
YouTube videos to only play in landscape
mode? Select YouTube from the app list and
choose the landscape option.
Tablet users will find this app very useful, as
most of the time, you will want apps to open
in landscape mode. There are many apps
which go portrait by default. This has always
been annoying. Smart Rotator will force
landscape mode for these apps, but it's
uncertain this will work with every app
though. Screen layouts for apps designed to
work in only portrait mode may mess up
their screen layouts. Just try it and see how
it works for each app.
The easiest way to use Smart Rotator is to
just run all your usual apps. When one
causes you screen rotation issues, start
Smart Rotator and choose your desired
screen behavior for it. Smart Rotator is one
of those apps you didn't think you'd need to
install but once you have it, you'll be glad
you did.
