On stock aosp, and pixel android, I can auto rotate the phone up, left, or right, but if I turn the phone upside down the screen won’t rotate.

Is there a way to enable upside down rotation? I think it would be quite useful.

I.e. When phone is charging, or hanging phone up by a strap, or when using a usb-c device and you want to prop it up on a desk

    I use this app. It forces the device to be in certain rotation, and reverse portrait is an option too. No root required.

    I also needed that feature recently and I found out that there was an option for 180° rotation that I needed to toggle on. But this is most likely specific to the ROM that I’m using.

    My screen rotation sensor thing died in my nexus 5 and I downloaded an app that forced screen rotation. It let you turn it upside down. I don’t know what the app was called it was several years ago.
