Rotation Lock with switch works.. But it is still muting audio playback from some apps :(
 
i havent tried this program yet but just now tried toggling the mute switch, which i havnt done since the update and while the screen indicates its muting its not!

why would that be?

I think the mute switch's function is to disable system notification sound. It does not mute the music/movie playback sound if I understand it correctly. I haven't updated to 4.2 yet so just my guess.

ahh...your right!

interesting, more useful i would imagine for the iphone and useless for ipad!
no wonder no one likes it!

if one uses the cydia no mute program can you still program a function for the toggle. i thought noticed the functions taken away from activator and multiflow.
 
Me too

I have noticed this as well, but all the apps I have experienced this in have only been landscape resolution anyway, so it hasn't been a big deal. Still a wicked useful tweak and I wish apple would bring back the option in 4.3....
