No Coding Experience Required!
This Tutorial Will Show You The Basics To Start Coding Your Own Tweaks!

We Will Be Creating A Tweak That Simply Locks The Orientation Up. Useless I Know But A Good Simple Start.
In Case You Get Stuck, You Can Look At The Final Code Here: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
STEP ONE:
[Starting Your Tweak]
STEP TWO:
[Begin Coding]
STEP THREE:
[The Makefile]
STEP FOUR:
[Installing/Testing]
[Starting Your Tweak]
STEP TWO:
[Begin Coding]
1. Open the folder where you created your tweak
Default location for windows is "C:\cygwin64\home\%YOUR NAME%\norotate"
2. Now open the file "tweak.xm"
This is the file where ALMOST ALL of your code goes
3. Delete everything in the file, then type "%hook SBOrientationLockManager", type carefully
What Does This Do You Might Ask:
4. Now go down a couple lines and type "-(BOOL)_effectivelyLocked"
We need to tell that operation to be yes, so here is what we are going to type:
What this does is tell the operation that the device's orientation is locked!
5. We have a couple more lines to type, so here are all rest of the 'methods we have to edit (it has been annotated so you know what the code does):
6. If you have any questions about what is happening, feel free to message me!
7. Check your code [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

3. Delete everything in the file, then type "%hook SBOrientationLockManager", type carefully
What Does This Do You Might Ask:
We are 'hooking' into a header, these headers are where all iOS code is kept. We have to hook into these headers so we can 'edit' their operations!
A little confusing i know.
A little confusing i know.
4. Now go down a couple lines and type "-(BOOL)_effectivelyLocked"
We need to tell that operation to be yes, so here is what we are going to type:
-(BOOL)_effectivelyLocked {
return YES;
} What this does is tell the operation that the device's orientation is locked!
5. We have a couple more lines to type, so here are all rest of the 'methods we have to edit (it has been annotated so you know what the code does):
//Class I am hooking into
%hook SBOrientationLockManager
-(BOOL)_effectivelyLocked {
return YES;
}
//Keeps the Orientation Lock flipswitch lit up
-(void)_updateLockStateWithOrientation:(long long)arg1 forceUpdateHID:(BOOL)arg2 changes:(/*^block*/id)arg3 {
arg2 = NO;
}
//Overrides
-(BOOL)lockOverrideEnabled {
return NO;
}
-(BOOL)isLocked {
return YES;
}
%end
//Hooking Another Class
%hook SBUIActiveOrientationObserver
//Actually Locks Springboard Orientation
-(void)activeInterfaceOrientationWillChangeToOrientation:(long long)arg1 {
arg1 = nil;
} 6. If you have any questions about what is happening, feel free to message me!
7. Check your code [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
STEP THREE:
[The Makefile]
1. Open the file called 'Makefile' with Notepad++ (or your alternative)
2. Make some space at the top and add these lines:
2. Make some space at the top and add these lines:
a. This code will allow you to make your tweak for new and old devices
b. This code will make thoes use the iOS Files of choice, for us it will be iOS 8.1
(This does not restrict your tweak to iOS 8! Our tweak WILL work on iOS9 and possibly iOS7)
c. This code is for installing our tweak over wifi
ARCHS = armv7 arm64 b. This code will make thoes use the iOS Files of choice, for us it will be iOS 8.1
(This does not restrict your tweak to iOS 8! Our tweak WILL work on iOS9 and possibly iOS7)
SDK = iPhoneOS8.1 c. This code is for installing our tweak over wifi
THEOS_DEVICE_IP = PUT YOUR iDEVICE'S IP HERE STEP FOUR:
[Installing/Testing]
1. On your jailbroken iDevice, install "OpenSSH"
2. Back on your computer, in the command prompt type "cd ~/norotate"
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
3. Next Type "SDKVERSION=8.1 make", if you get errors, then look at the completed version
Heres what it looks like with no errors:

4. Finally, type "SDKVERSION=8.1 make package", if you want to install it to your device over wifi, continue to step, if not move that .deb file to your phone and install it!
[Installing Over Wifi]
This is quite faster than manually transferring
5. Download "WinSCP" if you're on windows or just open the terminal for mac, click the correct system to continue:

Windows:
1. Open WinSCP
2. In 'Host Name' type your iDevice's IP address
3. Leave 'Port Number' at "22", and change 'User name' to "root"
4. Change 'Password' to "alpine"
5. Click Login!
6. Open cygwin and type "SDKVERSION=8.1 make package install"
7. Type 'alpine' whenever it asks for your passcode
8. And now your brand new tweak is installed to your device, and you cannot rotate your springboard!

8. And now your brand new tweak is installed to your device, and you cannot rotate your springboard!
Mac:
1. Open the native terminal and type "ssh root@%YOUR DEVICE IP HERE"
2. When it asks for your password, type "alpine"
3. Now type "SDKVERSION=8.1 make package install"
4. And now your brand new tweak is installed to your device, and you cannot rotate your springboard!

Thank you for this. I was actually talking to my friend at school and we planned on making a tweak. I'll check this out very soon

No problem! If you go to my [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] I have several open source tweaks for you to look at if you need help!
