Rotation Inhibitor alternative?

[macsrcool1234]

I broke my old phone and got a new phone, it came with 4.3.3. Unfortunately rotation inhibitor doesn't work with 4.3 or above.

Is there any alternative program (preferably with SBSettings integration?

thanks.

Portrait lock is built into iOS on the iPhone now: double tap the home button and swipe the multitasking dock from left to right, and it's the far left hand button

I don't believe the iPhone 3G has that support for portrait lock? I may be completely wrong though.

if you enable native multitasking it will support portrait mode

Yes, that's nice, but it's a lot easier for me to swipe once and disable via SBSettings than it is to double tap the home button (which minimizes the app I'm using) and then swipe and then click the portrait lock.

I'm really puzzled as to why Rotation Inhibitor won't work on firmware 4.3 and above.

(BTW: SEO win! This was the second hit when I Googled "rotation inhibitor 4.3")

Really? One extra swipe? I've read reports of rotation inhibitor draining battery life and it uses mobile substrate so there is so ram that is gonna be missing. All for one extra swipe, /thread

Sorry for the late response but yes im aware of the built in portrait lock, however you cannot lock the phone in landscape unfortunately. I'm not sure why Apple didn't implement this.

Hopefully rotation inhibitor will be updated.

Oh, please. This is jailbreaking, which grants one the right to do what THEY want with the iDevice, and not be told by anyone ELSE how they should use the device.

Anyway, I bought MCleaner because I didn't want to lose the double-tap home configuration with mutlifl0w, and that ALSO uses RAM, for just one purpose, so I can open the mulitasking bar with a double tap on the status bar instead of the double tap on home. If Rotation Inhibitor worked I could uninstall it.

I have not noticed any further battery drain with it on/off. There are probably other things that are draining my device more (i.e. use of IRetina+).
