Keep the screen awake while it's sideways

RULOMI 1.3.0 · WORKS WITHOUT THE AI PLANNER · UPDATED
Landscape usually means you're watching or following something rather than tapping. Rulomi gives the screen longer before it turns off while it's sideways.

How do I keep the screen on longer in landscape on Android?

When the screen turns landscape, for a video or a recipe, Rulomi sets a 10-minute screen timeout, and puts the usual one back in portrait. To set it up, install Rulomi from Google Play, type the sentence below, check the routine it shows you, and enable it.

When the screen turns landscape set screen timeout to 10 minutes, and put it back when it ends

Rulomi's on-device parser understands this as written, so it works with the AI planner switched off.

What Rulomi builds

WHEN
The screen turns landscape
THEN
  1. Set the screen timeout to 10 minutes
AFTER
When the screen turns back to portrait, the screen timeout goes back to what it was.

You see this on the review screen before you enable it, and nothing runs until you do.

Access it asks for

  • Modify system settings, for brightness, screen timeout and auto-rotate.

Rulomi asks for access per routine, when a routine needs it, not all at once when you install.

Variations

When the screen turns landscape set screen timeout to 30 minutes and turn on do not disturb and put it back when it ends

Longer still, and no interruptions while you watch.

Good to know

  • It follows the screen, not the phone. With auto-rotate off, it fires only when an app turns the screen itself, as video players do.
  • The screen's rotation needs no permission.
