Strange: suddenly my Jolla autorotates only for native Sailfish apps. Android apps are stuck in portrait mode. Any undocumented Aliendalvik setting to explain this?

I am running Uitukka. This is an autorotate issue, not a rotation-lock one.

Oh, sorry. I misread this. So you actually fixed the bug! :-P

Actually I reversed it. Whatever the system rotation setting (i.e. also landscape-lock), all Android apps are displayed only in portrait (except those with built-in orientation setting), while native apps autorotate normally.

(Answer to self) Issue solved but not explained: I installed SpyDiKo's Rotation Manager (available at F-Droid) which fixed the problem. Strangely, I don't even need to run it after having launched it once: Android apps now autorotate just like before.

I suspect RotationManager restored to "normal" some undocumented setting that was previously corrupted by a buggy app or after a system incident.
