modifying Rotation Inhibitor to only work on certain apps?

[stylin97]

ive modified the rotation inhibitor plist file so far to make it only work on SMS and Email, but now i want to add Facebook and Rock but am having no luck.

anyone have any idea how to do this? (or any particular app in general)

I wish the dev would release a pro edition that would do that. I use the sbsettings toggle at the moment

[stylin97]

theres got to be a way to do it if you can do it for certain apps like SMS and Email and such..

Let the dev know there is a need for it and maybe he will build it

i already emailed him via the contact info on the cdyia app about it. no reply yet.

I will talk to him tonight about it

[stylin97]

sweet, keep us posted!

[StealthBravo]

Just talked to another dev and a different app from a different dev should be hitting cydia soon that is similar to what you are wanting. Sounds interesting

[stylin97]

any updates on this?

[StealthBravo]

I will check in with him. Maybe it's beta test time

haha, i actually did this same thing. your gunna want to download rotationinhibitor from cydia, it is a sbsettings addon, and then your gunna want to SSH into your phone /Library/MobileSubstrate/DynamicLibraries/RotationInhibitor.plist

and change the this part of the plist:
{
Filter = {
Bundles = (
"com.apple.springboard",
);
};
}

to this:

{
Filter = {
Bundles = (
"com.apple.MobileSMS",
);
};
}

just for a quick workaround...i think you might be able to do more than one bundle by listing them

did you read my 1st post? :P

i said i modified it already to just work on only SMS and Mail, but i want to keep rotation ON for everything else besides a few other apps i want to add (like facebook i want rotation off, and same thing with Rock)....

want to keep rotation ON for photos and safari.

ah, my bad dude, i jumped to conclusions. could you just use the same method? and add in facebook and rock?

edit: just kidding, those aren't native..well I feel dumb now..haha sorry I couldn't help

ive tried numerous things to get that to work but it doesnt.. i tried like Facebook.app, just Facebook, and even that long as number/letter folder name AppStore apps use and no luck.

i looked thru the plist files for Facebook and Rock to see if there was a rotate part of it i could modify or delete and didnt find anything (altho im not that great with that stuff, just looked for something that stuck out to me and would be obvious to modify/delete)
