Description

From the listing uploaded by “alebergas”.

The 1st non-widget AutoRotate app that got 100k-500k downloads! Thanks all users! Switch Auto-rotate feature on/off quickly. Put it as a shortcut in the home screen or long-press search button to run it. Tired of lying on the bed and your device changes to landscape mode? Don't you find it inconvenient to change the "Auto-rotate screen settings" using the setting menu? This app aims to solve these issues. You could now long-press search key / tap the shortcut to switch the auto-rotate feature. To reduce memory usage, this app is not a widget (so the icon cannot show the rotate settings) & it'll kill itself after it runs. Limitations: • Long-pressing search button to toggle function could not work on Defy, Droid 2 & device without search key • Some apps (e.g. Battery Graph) do not follow the auto-rotate screen settings in Settings->Display (which can be changed by this app), thus it could not work for those apps. • "Lock orientation" (Lock landscape) is not possible as Google only allows portrait lock on others' app by design officially. This app is recommended by Lifehacker http://lifehacker.com/#!5621959 ★★ Do you like this App? ★★ Please buy the donation version to support my development!

AutoRotate Switch APK: questions and answers

Can I install this APK over the version I already have?

Only if it is signed with the same certificate as the copy on your phone and isn't an older version. If Android says “App not installed”, the certificates differ; uninstalling your copy first works but deletes its data unless it is backed up.

Is the AutoRotate Switch APK safe?

No one can promise that a file is safe, but some things can be checked. The source store rates this file Trusted. After downloading, check that the file's MD5 is 9ca8c1007f043579983c7410814c2e5f.
