Sideways Mode: Fixing Screen Orientation Issues
Sideways Mode is an Android application that solves the problem of screen orientation while lying on your side. It allows you to switch between portrait and landscape modes with ease, making it ideal for reading, browsing, and watching videos in bed. The app is free to download and use, and it comes with a simple and intuitive user interface.
Sideways Mode requires several permissions to function, including modifying system settings, drawing over other apps, and retrieving running apps and usage statistics. It also runs as a foreground service to prevent Android from stopping the app while in use. Additionally, it runs at startup to show the controls notification when your phone turns on.
One unique feature of Sideways Mode is its compatibility with incompatible apps. It can change the screen orientation of apps that do not support landscape mode. The app also includes a small app overlay for Sony users, allowing them to use a small app to change the screen orientation.
