In terms of customization, Android takes all the win and this has been one of his points in favor so that today he is in that dominating position that we all know. This customization can lead us to even give it more power, if we give the ROOT privileges to the phone or tablet with which we can get into each of its nooks, at least in relation to its software.
One of those specialties and particularities that we can count on is thanks to an application that allows us to customize the way the screen orientation will behave for certain apps. Swivel allows us configure all the apps we want, so that when we use them, they are oriented in the way we want. A maximum example of the use of this application can be YouTube itself, in which we usually use landscape mode, so it can come in handy to configure it appropriately.
Customizing screen rotation
Already in Android we have the access to be able to configure the portrait or landscape mode from the notification bar. From this same we can use the device in such a way that let's better use that screen width, that precisely the tablets are the appropriate device.
Although this default solution on Android suits us, we can always relegate in an app like Swivel to customize the preferred orientation for each application.
And it is not only that we can configure the orientation, but we can even specify address. In fact, you can set the phone by default so that it does not rotate, but get it to rotate automatically through this application and go over those series system settings.
Different options
Swivel uses a technique that does not take many resources ahead and that includes several options for orientation:
- Default
- Portrait (regular)
- Portrait (inverted)
- Landscape (normal)
- Landscape (inverted)
- Automatic landscape mode (uses accelerometer)
- Portrait mode or automatic portrait (uses accelerometer)
- 360 full automatic (accelerometer)
The app works in such a way that when we launch it, a list of the apps that we have installed on the terminal will appear. We select a few in order to customize the orientation of the screen and we must click on «Start» to activate properly access for Swivel. So we will already be before that customization when we use the properly configured apps.
We are facing a new application that has reached the Play Store and that by the way, this time we will not be able to download for free since it is at the price of € 1,08. An interesting application for the possibilities it offers around orientation on a smartphone or tablet and that does not excel in anything else since this is its main objective. It is not that we are all going to use it but it will come to certain users who need to use an application like this.
