If you have HTCHome installed, just switch to landscape mode before opening IE and switch it back when you're done.
install dinarsoft handyLauncher. In it, you've the option to start any app in the desired orientation

how will u type the text then?
open the keyboard, go to start/settings/system/screen and then pick portrait.
i know how to change it manually.
thats why i would like to disbale the automatic rotation...
Why don't you go to start/settings/system/screen and then pick landscape? It'll always be in landscape and will not rotate when opened.

Out of curiosity... what do you mean by "its so slow i hate it"?
Do you mean it takes too long to switch from Portrait to landscape (and vv)? Or the phone itself seems to become slow when it enters Landscape mode via opening the keyboard?
On the Diamond the screen options under settings do not include the Landscape / Portrait wwitch. Is there any way to force the device to Landscape?
you can force Landscape / Portrait with "WisBar Advance"
Or with QuickMenu...
yeah, personally I have this switch mapped to win-logo long press in QuickMenu
Found this, posted somewhere odd

The Touch Diamond does not show the WM screen rotation under settings so we can't manually set rotation for apps like Word, SMS. Here is how to enable it. After you've done the hack, run the app you want to rotate (eg. Word Mobile), then do Start, Settings, System, Screen to set rotation to landscape. The onscreen keyboard is much larger in landscape! When you click the HOME key it will go back to portrait.
Enable Manual Screen Rotation (Portrait/Landscape):
HKLM - System - GDI - Rotation - HideOrientationUI (change from 1 to 0)
Change is immediate effectively. No reboot is required.

confirmed, this works.
HKLM - System - GDI - Rotation :
LandscapeFixed: set to "0" ( default is "1" )
extends options to:
Portrait
Landscape (right-handed)
Landscape (left-handed)
cool, thanks - this is handy for me being lefty; any chance of disabling the right-handed option forever?
You can do just what you want using Mortscript...
And the script should run automatically everytime you reboot your device....

i also set this up. works only on home page. f in an app, i get this new never efore seen menu that says \
Copy
Cut
Paste
Select All
Select all + copy
select all + cut
Undo
If we now can activate it from the system eventually we'll get to know how to use the acceleremoter in whole system or atleast in whole TF3D.
woho, nice to hear that the edit menu works on diamond too, cause it's dunno why not working for me. this is great feature of quickmenu allowing you to manipulate with the clipboard whenever you're in an editbox.
It would be nice to have G-sensor to automatically rotates screen in all apps. I'm sure that there is a way, registry entry perhaps.
You can, using this app:

Works like a charm

1.) Give Google a try and search for TF3D Config!

I can't seem to be able to find a satisfactory solution for setting the screen orientation.
Personally I don't really like to use the g-sensor for screen orientation. It doesn't seem sensitive enough and there is that delay before it rotates. Also, when holding the Diamond in my lap or resting on a table, it lies too flat for the sensor to rotate the screen. Actually, even when I hold the diamond straight up and tilt it, Opera doesn't always rotate. Sometimes shaking it a bit does the trick, but not always. Maybe I have a bad g-sensor, but I'd still prefer other solutions.
I think what would suit me best is to have a hardware button to toggle between portrait and landscape. I have tried mapping the call button using tweak 21, but it's not working with all apps, at least not with Opera (build 1938).
I'm curious about bepes Gnes, where you can pre-define screen orientation for different apps. However, AFAIK, Gnes only comes with bepes ROM and there's no CAB. Gnes could work well for me, as I always use apps where I input text (SMS, e-mail, Notes) in landscape to be able to use the wider full qwerty keyboard. Opera is trickier, as I would like to be able to change orientation there.
Are there any other options?
How have you solved this?
First, enable landscape mode using the registry tweak.
Then map the long press call button to landscape as a manual toggle button.
Works well for me.

Problem is, when I use this in Opera, I get to thrown out to the browser tab in TF3D.

Do you mean that this works well for you, even in Opera?
If so, what ROM and what Opera build are you using?
Any input on this would be appreciated.
By default the keyboard is shown in portrait mode. When i switch to landscape, the keyboard disappears . (Tried with standard HTC-keyboard and FingerKeyboard)
Any solutions? Thanks in advance.
Yeah, click in the text box and the keyboard will pop up again.
Yes, i know that. Thanks
The point is the behavior by default. I want the keyboard shown by default without clicking anywhere.
Just a simple question if anyone is willing to help
How do I keep my phone on landscape all the time?
I have tried going to "settings -> align screen -> landscape" but everytime i close my keyboard goes back to portrait mode . Some say it's due to "clear type" i turned that off and still keeps going back to portrait [I do lot of texting]
So if anyone has any ideas and would like to pass on plz 'n thanks
If you rotate the screen in closed-keyboard(portrait) to landscape,it keeps all the time in LS mode all the time after(keyboard in/out doesn't matter).. You can do it using mortscript,SPB PocketPlus or in a different way.
I have got a opera mobile 9.7 beta and when you rotate screen on landscape with this software and press home button, your screen will be still on landscape
// It is some BUG of opera, but you can use it

And also i found program called GSen ot rotates your touch pro !
If you have sk tools (probably even the free version), use the shortcut manager to create a landscape mode shortcut, then copy it into \windows\startup. You should be good to go.

In changeScreen you have the choise which orientation you want to use by default. And you can make exceptions. For example, I hate it when bubble breaker starts a new game when I tilt my phone to far, so I've set it up in a way it only uses portrait.

hehe im trying to do the exact opposite
I want tf3d to be in portrait all the time, regardless of keyboard in or out.
If i figure out how, ill let you know because it should be easy then to convert to landscape only.

Nope sorry
I had another thread going and their were a few suggestons but it didnt make any difference.
why not just use screenchanger 2.8 and set default only 2 the landscape of your choice (dont know if ur right or left handed)???
if u chose "enable" and "run on startup" wouldnt that fix everything w/o out using some stupid glich?
all the programs that i have used like gsen etc, dont override the keyboard slide. It seems to have some hardwired switch which overrides all of those programs and forces landscape, and then back to portrait when you slide it back in.
