Rotation Inhibitor: SBSettings Toggle Allows you to Disable Accelerometer
Though the accelerometer is one of the coolest features of the iPhone, I find it annoying everytime I move around in bed while reading on the iPhone, as the screen keeps rotating. I finally got fed up the other day and had to figure out a way to disable the...

This is great. But I agree, it would be even better if we could lock it in landscape mode.

Hi .
true its annoying when your sleeping on your side and you want to check a web page quickly > However the iphone doesn't flip so you can see any page in landscape , but the trick is to do it in normal position , this is where this app helps . -
I havent commented in a while lol sorry i have been busy. Anyways back on topic i love this app but their is on emajor flaw: Photos still rotate =/.
Offtopic: idk if this is note worthy but they have sb setting app where you can change a song by pressing top volume ringer to go to next song and bottom button to go to a previous song.

Hey Egypt,
Good to hear from you.
Btw, photos don't rotate if I disable accelerometer via Rotation toggle. You might want to check if you have the latest version of the toggle.
Thanks for the note.

SWEEET!!! I remember that i was the first to come up with this idea (http://www.iphonehacks.com/2009/03/apple-to-preview-iphone-firmware-30-on-march-17.html?cid=6a00d83534e7f169e2011168f13026970c#comment-6a00d83534e7f169e2011168f13026970c ) Im glad some one heard and came up with a fix. Thanks yall!!!!
--oh and yall effing rock iPhoneHacks
--Same to you Dev team!!! -
i think you can keep it rotated on landscape mode if you hold down the button on the SBSETTINGS icon (that's what the small hand logo in the bottom corner indicates)
-
Exactly, you can lock it in landscape mode, just hold down the toggle and it switches between the display modes available. Do that again until you find your desired position.

Hey!
After I installed rotation inhibitor I tried to restart, but now my iphone only shows the apple logo and than freezes...
so watch out..

Another useful app posted by iPhonehacks.
-
Strange, I didn't hit the issue, don't see how it can happen because of it.
-
I apologieze on my post. Apparently their was another sb setting that has is like rotation inhibitor but it is in beta. im downloading the actual one you have posted =)
-
What source did u download from cuz their is another rotation inhibtitor app which i downloaded (its in beta)
-
Arent they just amazing?
Offtopic: iPhonehacks doesnt have a twitter does it? Cuz i would make an account just to follow you guys =)
-
Rotation Inhibitor is definitely an essential app, it has nothing to do with the accelerometer though.
-
I can see just one and its not in beta. The version is 0.3.
The source is iSpazio.
-
Thanks Egypt, we have been missing all your tips!
We would love to join the Twitter bandwagon, but unfortunately don't own the iphonehacks twitter account.
We have just registered one (iphonehackx), so you can now follow us on Twitter.
We will try to add the integration with Twitter soon.
-
Definitely a good idea and a much needed one.
It would have been nice if Apple had added it as a setting but thanks to the way you can launch SBSettings, the toggle would still be a winner for me.
-
i had this app a while ago but i never knew wat it does...thanks to u iphonehacks now i know!!!! =D
-
Cool! An app that does something Apple should have given as an option by default! This is unheard of!
Wait............
Yeah, pretty cool stuff, and I agree with you iPhoneHacks it would be nice to be able to lock it in landscape.
-
Couldn't fix it, so i had to reset it :(
-
hey, this causes the iphone 3gs to get into safe mode :(
pleause update -
this toggle makes my 3gs crash,
Need update !
-
Hey how do I locate this app after I have installed it?
-
Mine too - doesn’t work on the 3GS anymore :(
-
you can locate it by adding a the toggle "rotation inhibitor" in sbsettings
-
the rotation inhibitor totally crashed. I had to do a major reset and re-jailbreak. ugh. i will not reinstall on 3GS until people say it really works. on 3GS!
-
The app also caused my iPhone to crash and enter safe mode. I couldn't be bothered by it so I just removed the app from Cydia and restarted. Everythings back to normal now.
-
Help. I have just jail broken my 3G 3.0.1 IPhone but I Can't find this package in Cydia.
-
Version 0.5 fixes a crash when shaking the device. Could this have been the issue that the 3Gs guys are seeing? I want to use this app but afraid of my 3Gs dying and not being able to re jailbreak with 3.0 with 3.1 out now.
-
just put it in landscape first, then deactivate the rotation. the screen stays in landscape (works for me at least)
