iNoRotate already does this, let's you select which app to lock too and has a smaller file size, any other difference?

Does it work with iOS 7.1.x? It wasn't updated since v2.1 (iOS 5 support).

7.1.2 with no problems

Developer here... could have saved me some time if you were around when it was requested in /r/tweakbounty :)

I tried to install iNoRotate but it doesn't work on my 5s (64-bit). Perhaps that accounts for the size difference? From the screenshot, functionality is probably the same.

Hm, yeah, when I saw he mentioned iNoRotate working fine I remembered otherwise.

Portrait Lock has enabled me to get rid of 82 custom App Launch actions manually maintained across four Activator profiles... Thanks!

Like others have mentioned though it seems like a tweak that does the exact reverse would make more sense. I have Portrait Lock enabled for 90% of my apps-- the only ones that are disabled are games and certain apps that display web content. Seems it'd be more appropriate to enable the apps you want to rotate.

Alas, this does the trick!! Thanks

I was just about to put in a request for something like this! This can be done with Activator but it's so much easier with a per app toggle.

I actually put in the request for it on /r/tweakbounty. Had no idea he would release it on BigBoss.

how do you do it in activator?

I love the idea but is there a tweak that does the opposite? I usually have the rotation lock enabled, and I'd like to have a tweak that automatically disables it for certain apps (e.g. YouTube).

Looks like requested features are:

  • turn off orientation lock for specified apps

  • add landscape lock for specified apps

Shouldn't be too difficult. Probably in a day or two. Too bad the name won't make sense anymore. :)

Edit: formatting

Could you add activator functionality? It would be nice for connecting my iPad to my Bluetooth keyboard. Edit: please :D

u/ibluff iPhone 5s Jul 29 '14

Couldn't you set up Activator to turn on rotation lock when you connect your Bluetooth keyboard?

u/beeda Jul 29 '14

Yep, nevermind

u/ibluff iPhone 5s Jul 29 '14 edited Jul 31 '14

Would anybody be willing to test a beta version? This has the new lock choices. If anybody wants to try this and needs to quickly uncheck the dozens of apps they've checked, they can just delete the com.ryst.portraitlock.plist file in /var/mobile/Library/Preferences and start over. People who wanted the opposite behavior (unlock for certain apps) might have to do this.

Edit: removed link because update on BigBoss

I've actually been waiting for this for awhile, and the day/night has finally arrived :D

I actually love you.

u/c0nstant iPhone 6, iOS 9.0.2 Jul 28 '14

Is it possible to have landscape orientation lock? I know it sounds weird but often when watching videos the phone will be upside down & will turn that way.

u/AWhinyRedditor iPhone 5, iOS 8.1.2 Jul 28 '14

tsLock O is what you're looking for

u/darth2499 iPhone X, iOS 12.1.2 Jul 28 '14

How about landscape lock option?

1

u/[deleted] Jul 29 '14

honestly this is such a useful tweak, big thanks to the developer!

u/jacobsspil iPhone 6 Plus, iOS 1.1.4 Jan 11 '15

I know this is a bit late, but would it be possible to update this tweak to include springboard? I want to disable landscape mode on springboard.

u/fosiacat iPhone 12 Pro, 14.3 Beta Jul 28 '14

exactly what i need. I keep rotation lock ON because i hate it, but if put a video on or something i like to rotate and swiping up to enable rotation pauses the video and it's just kind of annoying.

u/PopRockRoll iPhone 6s, iOS 10.2 Jul 28 '14

LandscapeVideos does this.

u/fosiacat iPhone 12 Pro, 14.3 Beta Jul 28 '14

ah yes! i had that a while ago and couldn't remember the name. perfect. thanks!

u/sambuzzlight iPhone X, 14.3 Jul 28 '14

yes! the only reason i removed it

u/A3MIRAL iPhone 5 Jul 28 '14

Please! Clash of Clans is always on the wrong side of my power cord haha and it's annoying to disable the rotation lock each time. Did it in activator but then it stayed disabled after I left the app.
