Hi!

I wasnt happy with the available frontends for javispedro glol, so i made yet another one
you can find it here: http://meestuff.blogspot.com/p/orientationlock.html

It packages glol (slightly modified, so that it doesnt conflict with the original glol package, in case you have it installed).

hope someone else will find it useful as well
cheers

Nice one. Will try this out.

Thank you for sharing.
But it does not work properly. Lock screen does not return back when i release the lock. Need to restart the phone.

It's strange coz it works here. but as i wrote, for me it happens that if i have a terminal open, or if i open after i lock, and then i release the lock, then the terminal is still locked. i have to close it and reopen to have it lock-free..

However if you say it still does not work for you, could you ckeck, after unlocking, if ps |grep glol reports you some glol process still running?

I didnt find any glol process....

then it's very strange.
I'd like to see if somebody else has the same problem tho..

I tried it again different times on my N9, and it seems to work..

I uninstalled and installed but no, doesnt work. Maybe there is some another app/tweak what make that for me. Who knows... Damn.

question: does glol alone work for you? if you could install it..
or use the one that is shipped with orientationlock.
Just open a terminal, write "/opt/orientationlock/bin/glol p"
then do some stuff with orientation locked
then close the terminal, or just ctrl+c in the terminal
then check if the orientation is unlocked

I tried both, glol p and l, the same thing happened as icon. Homescreen released but lockscreen remains locked when i close terminal.
