Mi Box - Oreo - Rotation Lock app

by steve2222222

Anyone know an app that does this and works with Oreo. I was using Rotation Launcher but it won't work with Oreo.

Have seen some comments on G Play Store against other apps suggesting this is no longer possible with Oreo OS?

Need it for side loaded phone centric apps e.g. ITV Hub and All 4, both UK TV apps.

Set Orientation v1.1.4 that's been floating around for years has worked great since I bought my first Mi Box a couple years back, still works great on both boxes (Mi Box & Shield Pro) now running Oreo.

Maybe someone here still has a link to it for you?

EDIT: Found one on APKMirror !

I have been using an app called “Set orientation “ and it was working great. Since Oreo update it is no longer working.

I’m wondering if this is a new limitation in Oreo or if some of the developers just need to add some new code to these sort of apps.

I would think it can be done as most apps in Oreo mobile version will work in either portrait or landscape as you rotate your phone. It’s just a matter of these app developers to figure out how to code for it.

This is the app that I use on our MiBoxes https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.loyalar.rotationcontroller . It hasn't been updated in nearly 5 years but it still seems to be working OK on the one box that I have updated to Oreo. We use 3 apps on the boxes that will not work in landscape unless forced to rotate. This app still is working after the update.
