Qualification

Computer Science & Engineering

I am an Engineer by Qualification (B. Tech. in Computer Science & Engineering) and a Programmer and UI/UX Designer by work. I have 5+ years of experience in Android development. I have also worked on some websites and can design some good graphics in Photoshop/Illustrator. Please read below about some of my best things.

Android Themes, MODS and Custom ROMs

Reverse Engineering

I have started custom ROM development by reading tutorials from website and forums like XDA. It helped me a lot in learning the basics and life cycle of Android. I have developed two ROMs (ArcMini and xNXT) which became very popular and also ported many latest (at that time) apps and APIs to 2011 Xperia™ devices. I was first to Port Sony Small Apps API and also released a most stable WALKMAN port for those devices. Then I became Recognized Themer at XDA followed by Recognized Developer in 2013.

Android Apps

Forward Engineering

I have started developing apps in 2013. As I ported the Small App API, so I decided to develop Small Apps first which were featured on XDA and many other blogs. There was a good response from users due to the unique design and advanced features that I have implemented in those apps. Still, they are the most advanced small apps for Sony devices. My apps have over 1M downloads on Google Play.

    When I installed this app on my smartwatch, it did everything I wanted. Other apps only show settings in the notification list. This one made it easy by putting all the settings right in the app. Perfect for devices without the drop-down menu.

    Recent updates changed everything. Settings get ignored now. I bought the app to support the developer, but this frustration after each update feels pointless. Edit: Appreciate the quick response. Apps that I set under Conditions > Apps to Landscape now launch in Portrait instead of Landscape. This happens with both Android Auto and Google Maps. Thank you!

    No reverse portrait feature. Just wanted to share my thoughts on the app. I really appreciate the effort and quick responses from you, but there’s a concern. The description didn’t mention anything about incompatibility with Xiaomi phones. It would have been helpful if the installation was restricted for those devices. This felt a bit misleading. Developers usually catch every detail in features, yet overlook something this significant. Despite that, I decided to increase my rating by one star.

    I spent hours searching for an orientation control app that lets you view the lock screen upside down. Every app I tried either lacked this feature or just didn't work. Finally, I found one! It works perfectly. Huge shoutout to the developer for creating such a great app! Plus, the user interface looks really clean and organized. Thumbs up!

    Navigating the settings can feel overwhelming. I tried using per app rotation, but it didn’t work at first. Then I discovered that I needed “app service” to be enabled for that feature. A clearer explanation would really help users. Imagine a message at the top of the per app screen saying, "You need this service enabled. Would you like me to turn it on for you?" Also, the number of rotation modes gets confusing. Some, like the "behind" mode, lack clear explanations. Simplifying this process could make a big difference.

    This rotation control is impressive. It offers features that Android should include by default. I checked out various alternatives, but they simply don't measure up to this one.

    The latest update brought an annoying bug with it. I set the app to keep the screen in landscape for some games. After leaving those games, the home screen goes back to portrait for a moment, then flips right back to landscape. It lingers like that until I tap something, and then it finally shifts back to portrait. This whole ordeal takes about ten frustrating seconds. Please fix this quickly or I might have to uninstall the app.
