[RELEASE] I'mLyingDownDamnit - Never use rotation lock again! Release

Never use rotation lock again! This tweak corrects auto-rotate so that it works all the time - even when you're lying down!

How does it work?

When rotating your phone, you will be asked if you're lying down. Tapping the confirm button sends your phone back to portrait orientation, where you can then freely auto-rotate the phone relative to your face, whilst lying down!

To return to normal, simply press "Standing up" when prompted after rotating your phone.

Configuration

The tweak is highly configurable, with extra features such as dark mode, button positions, fade times, roll-over prompts to correct the orientation if you turn over when lying down and much more.

While faceID works well in pitch darkness, I’m not sure how well it’d work at detecting an obscured face and calculating its orientation.

Perhaps it could be a fun optional feature that shows the UI if it can’t detect a face, so this could be something I’ll think about down the line.

Love the suggestions though, keep them coming!

How about the gyroscope?

I could imagine using it to detect if the person is lying down.

Edit: why are you guys downvoting me? this is a serious suggestion and it could possibly work.

Isn't the gyroscope what's currently used to determine the device orientation in the tweak?

Wait, doesn’t the tweak just give a prompt every time the OS auto rotates?

I meant using the gyroscope to detect whether the phone is pretty much face flat, thus knowing if the user is lying down.

So this way, instead of looking for the rotation on one axis, it looks for two.

If the tweak already does this, then my bad, im probably retarded.

Sorry for the confusion, I meant the device auto rotate uses the gyroscope to detect when to rotate, doesn't it?
