Rotation Control - Manage Screen Orientation Easily

"Rotation Control" is an Android app that allows users to easily control screen orientation from the notification area. It offers various modes, including Guard to prevent other apps from changing the orientation, Auto Rotation based on sensor input, and fixed orientations (Portrait and Landscape) both normally and reversed. Depending on the device, some modes may not be available. Keep in mind that with Guard mode activated, app installations require disabling it temporarily.

A must-have if you use your device in landscape mode! Modern Android lacks any way to lock the screen in landscape. Turning off auto-rotate just forces portrait. If you often use your device in landscape, this is a major pain. To add insult to injury, many apps force portrait even with auto-rotate turned on. This app fixes all of that! You can lock the screen to any orientation and even override app preferences. A simple, flawlessly executed app that makes life better for landscape users!

Used to work great (and still does on my old Samsung Tab) but with my new phone, it doesn't hold your selection. I have it set, and the phone just does whatever it wants, as others have said. Don't know why this one can't hold position as it was a good app for a long time. If they could fix it, it would be again, but sadly I'll probably have found another one that works for me by then.
