We all know what iOS 4.2.1 did to the very useful orientation lock button – it changed it to a good for nothing mute switch. Cydia has come to the rescue as it quite often it does. Enter NoMute for iPad, a tweak that restores the orientation lock functionality back on your iPad.

What’s even great is that this very useful Cydia tweak is available as a free download. Currently there is a bug in a tweak as it besides turning on the orientation lock performs the mute functionality as well. I am expecting the developer to roll out a fix very soon.

To be able to use this tweak, you need to have a jailbroken iPad running iOS 4.2.1., the guide to which can be found here.
