Landscape Mode
I added landscape mode in my fork of the code. You switch between modes by tapping, first tap is Portrait Locked mode, second is Landscape Locked mode, third is Unlocked mode. I edited the strings in the English version but am not able to provide translations for all the data files. I didn't have a copy of API level seven installed, but if you just merge RotationLockActivity.java and the res/values*/strings.xml files I didn't make any changes that would break using API level 7.
@cmotc So why do you think your PR does not get merged? I was looking for an open-source app that does what RotationLock does, and I was surprised to see in the description that "Can not lock landscape orientation, because Android system does not allow it.", since proprietary apps seemed to be able to do that.
I don't know why it's not merged, except that @phuang hasn't been around for a while, and strictly speaking, at the time that was written, the landscape mode thing may have been true. There wasn't a straightforward, non-foolish way to lock rotation in landscape mode until API level 11, which I think was Android 3.0, which I've never actually seen used? So where for such a long time they were still selling like half Android 2.3 phones, half of people couldn't have used my version. Also, at the time I was teaching myself how to write Android apps, and if you look at some of the commits, I did mangle his configuration a bit to get it to build on my machine. Looking at this now, I'm going to go back through and do that properly this weekend.
That said, I have made my version available on F-Droid if you would like to use it or if you don't want to use F-Droid and you just want to download the APK and install it yourself, I also recommend you get it from them.
