found it but no luck.. tried 1 and 2..
my regedit freaking out on me.. I go back and its still at 0.. its like its not saving it.. hmm any clue?
Sorry to bump an old thread, but I searched and this came up, i thought instead of making a new thread i'll just bring to this one back to the top as i dont think it was resolved properly
I'm having the same problem as icecool. When i open the keyboard the camera app stays upside down and doesnt flip with the GUI.
What i want do is open the keyboard, tilt the screen, place my phone on a table top and use the front camera to record myself but because the camera app is upside down any video recorded in this method plays upside down in any other source.
I tried the method GSLEON described but indeed the registry entry is defaulted to "0" and is reverting back to "0" whenever I change the entry using RegEdit (thats part of Task Master 2.7)
My phones a UK Orange based HTC Tytn II, however i've upgraded the rom to Dutty's Dual Touch v2, I havent changed the radio.
Any suggestions? Shall i use a different reg editor? Is this a known issue.
Thanks in Advance, All help appreciated.
Use the New Camera
Hi,
I've upgraded to the newer camera v.5, which you can find on this forum, and it flips the camera on popping out of the keyboard, but does not flip the camera back once the keyboard has popped back in. In fact, the camera becomes unresponsive when the keyboard is popped back in and only becomes resonsive again when you pop the kayboard out again.
It half fixes the problem.
Cheers,

Thanks for such a swift reply.
I already have Camera App 5.02.29195 installed as part of the rom, but its not flipping the app when the keyboard is slid out. Is there a newer version of the app? Shall i just reinstall this version
That's odd. Mine flips back when I shut the KB. AT&T Tilt Home sooked stock rom.
On the standard htc TytnII rom try opening camera app > open menu > capture settings > camera (normally set to main camera) > second camera (flip)
Kaiser Camera Screen Rotation
My Kaiser camera is working as it should (rotates to righthanded landscape when kb is out and flips back to lefthanded when kb is closed). What I would like to do is have it rotated to righthanded even when the kb is closed.
I've tried changing the values in the registry for the rotatescreen value from 0 to 1 and 2 but it seems to make no difference. I have also soft reset after changing the registry values and again no change.
Any one know if this is even possible?
Sorry if this has already been posted/answered elsewhere but I've not been able to track it down.

When I press the rotate screen button in HTC Home, it rotates clockwise to landscape. That's the opposite direction of my keyboard. So then when I slide out my keyboard the screen has to flip over. That just seems silly.
Is there a way to make rotate screen rotate counter clockwise instead to match the keyboard orientation?
Thanks for your help!
Try Start>Settings>System Tab then Screen and check the orientation landscape of you choice to rotate the screen the way you want. Then go back and switch to portrait. Now when you select rotate it should remember the last setting. This works for me.

I just tried that but it still always rotate clockwise which is upside down.
Sorry, it was worth a try, it works for other apps that I use but I should have mentioned that I don't use HTC home so hadn't tried it there.

Make sure to apply the setting after you change to the orientation you want. Then, after that, you go back and change it to Portrait and apply that setting. After that, it should switch to what you chose when you press your dedicated button.

I'm missing something. I go to screen settings and select Landscape Right Handed. Then I select OK. The screen turns counter clockwise just like I want. Then I go back in and set it to Portrait and hit OK. The screen goes back to the portrait view.
Then when I hit rotate screen on HTC Home or the Cube, it rotates clockwise again and is upside down.

Ahh...I thought you had a button mapped. Well, in that case, you may have to check the settings on HTC Home or Cube. I don't use any of the two. Sorry!

It uses the same Rotate Screen feature as button mapping does. Just to test, I mapped my Internet button to Rotate Screen and went through the same process. When I press it, it still always rotates clockwise. If you could help me figure out how to get the button mapping to rotate the other way, I'm sure it would work with HTC Home as well.
Thanks!
The problem is it wants to rotate clockwise be casue there are two diferent priorty rotation events. Rotation with the KB closed goes clockwise because it follows the camera rotation rule (rotating so the camera button is on top). It seems it could be done by isolating the call madwe by opening the KB. I use the HTC tray app & that allows rotating either way with multiple pushes.
You could use the action send funtion with a "rotate left" command, but you'd have to edit the HTC Home ini file. Or use the home customizer & point to a shortcut that is an action send Rotate Left. If you want I'll build the file for you with instructions, but you'll have to place the file in your \windows\start menu\programs folder. Or wait until someone better than I has another solution.

Sounds ideal. That way the Camera button could still rotate the clockwise and the HTC Home button could rotate counter clockwise. Where do I find the HTC Home ini file to edit it?
Thank you so much for your help!
I cannot find an HTC Home ini file to edit nor can I find any default action for "Rotate Left", only "Rotate Screen". I tried HTC Home Customizer to see if there was a default action in there and there was not.
I hate to ask you to make files for me, but I'd really appreciate it.
My bad, there is no ini file It's all in a dll I believe. You can do it thought, but you will have to use the HHC home customizer for it to work with the file I create. I try to do it tonight.
I downloaded HTC Home Customizer a few minutes ago. Thanks so much for your help. I think this might be a popular request. I like to use the Kaiser in landscape whenever using GPS (which is frequent). It bugs me that I have to flip it upside down to get the keyboard open to answer a text message. Having it face that way already would be much better. You are AWESOME in my book for even being willing to try. I can't wait to see the result.
Thanks!!!!
Check your PM's. If it doesn't work I may have to edit it. I hacked it up quikly.
My just worked after changing the setting as mentioned earlier in this thread, it did revert once when I started Tomtom but just quit and restarted with all being well again.
Same problem here. Funny thing is, that I have a program (came pre-installed) called "HTCHomeplug" where the screen rotates in to both landscape directions by default. However, "HTC Home" program only does the one direction (and not the one I am looking for!).
Makes me wonder if I have the latest version of HTC Home?
Maybe this can help a little?
simple compact framework program, no gui, just rotating screen:
if screen rotation is 0 it will be changed to 90
if screen rotation is other than 0 it will be changed to 0
program isn't very fast (.net...) but fast enough to be usefull
if anyone need source code (10 lines or compiled version with diffrent rule/angle/whatever just let me know
SPB Pocket Plus includes shortcuts for rotating the screen either way. I just assigned rotate right to one of the HTC Home program shortcuts. Now I can press the default landscape shortcut to rotate left and the SPB one to rotate right. I realize it's a paid solution but it does work and there are other benefits provided by SPB Pocket Plus as well.
Fast but not fixed to 1 rotation
i hope i will still get reply for this.
I downloaded this in 1 of the thread.
It is so fast for screen rotation. however it goes all the 180,270 then back to the portrait display.
Is there anyway to modify it so it can only rotate in 1 angle, being just as fast in rotation?
Thanx

Hi Qlphn,
Could you please make this app rotate screen from 0 to 270. If you would upload it here, I would really appreciate.
Thanks
With the Alex Game Rom, the htchome screen rotate button rotates clockwise to landscape, how do I make it rotate counterclockwise to landscape (the landscape direction when using the keyboard)?
thanks,
I was going to ask same question, actually.. anybody knows?
It'd be perfect if it'd switch Kaiser to landscape and back (toggle thing). it does so now, just landscape is rotating left instead of right.. any way to change that?
Don't use HTC Home, but this might work;
Start>Settings> System Tab then Screen and set Orientation to right-handed or left-handed which ever is what you want, then switch back to portrait. For "Most" apps that have a switch to landscape, they will switch to what you last set in this config screen as it seems to remember this preference.
Hopefully HTC's screen isn't hard coded elseware...
Nope unfortunatelly that doesn't fix it.
on some other forum there was a supposed registry fix. HKLM, system, gdi, rotation; landscape mode (change 4 to 1). But this doesnt seem to stick, and I dont know if it does what we are talking about anyway.
this is how i do it
go to settings, and remap the press to talk button in rotate screen. works flawless on my device. I use it for tomtom, first it also rotated the wrong direction. now it is fine.
Try this....

Try this:
Open your reg editor (I use Resco Registry Editor Mainly) and navigate to :
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC Scroll to the botton of the folder (so to speak) and at the bottom you will find a reg value called "SliderOutRotateAngle" it default value is (that is the correct angle for sliding the keyboard out. Just change this value for a different angle i.e. 90, 180 etc.. (PLEASE NOTE THIS REG KEY IS A DWORD KEY AND ENTER IN DEC FORM/This is just in case you delete it by acident)
As with most .reg changes, don't forget to soft-reset..
Hope this helps..

Hello guys,
for the last 20' i am searching the forum but i cant find an answer.
Is there a tweak for the diamond to be able to write in landscape? The landscape mode of other phones is sooooo nice, that it is for me a major factor in selecting the phone i am going to purchase. Makes the SMS life so much easier...
Download GSen from the sticky thread at the top of the forum. Then you can just turn the phone sideways to switch any app into landscape mode.
Enable Manual Screen Rotation (Portrait/Landscape): HKLM - System - GDI - Rotation - HideOrientationUI (change from 1 to 0)
After this, you can map the long press key to <Rotate>.....I go into sms, press the answer button for a sec...everything goes into landscape....exiting the program takes me back to portrait on the today screen. My only gripe is that it rotates only clockwise. I would rather it rotate the other way but it works.
Your other option is to try Gsen and use the G Sensor to rotate the screen. I have not tried it yet as I have read that some have experienced bugs.

I must say though that texting using the WM6.1 qwerty keyboard isn't too hard. I dont have fat fingers though.

yup just what i was gonna say, and it works well, i believe you can also manually rotate the screen in the options menu (there is a tweak for this listed in the tweaks thread i think) but i just use GSEN since it lets you rotate any app just by tilting the phone

I'm about to ask the same question.
Gsen is a nice application. But I only want landscape when messaging. Is there a better way to activate the rotation when I;m messaging and deactivate when I exit messaging.
remove all other values in the gsen config and keep the one for sms.

If you mean LandscapeFixed, which is what is below it on mine the value should be 1.

i have the sprint diamond and i got it to work, i set the long key by going :
start > settings > buttons > now where is says "2. assign a program" you need to scroll all the way up the list to find "<Rotate Screen>"
its like this because the list is in alphabetical order and characters come before letters.
hope this helped!

Gsen hasn't been updated in an eternity.
I recommend Brins0net_Gyrator:

Still in very much active development and in a much more usable and configurable state than Gsen.

Sweet thanks for the info
after reading this thread i'm still confused. I have gyrator but that rotates everything. If I want only the messaging to rotate, can someone please post those instructions.
"TouchPal supports Landscape mode. You don't switch TouchPal to Landscape mode. Instead, you should switch your device to Landscape mode, and TouchPal will switch to Landscape mode automatically."
How do I put my Diamond in landscape mode?
Thanks,
Jon
You need to tweak the registry.
change->
HKeyLocalMachine/System/GDI/Rotation
Change the "HideOrientationUI" from 1 to 0
change "LandscapeFixed" from 1 to 0.
Then you can swith from settings/screen or change the key(call) to switch orientation.
Or load GSen and have which ever mode you feel like in an instant by rotating the phone.
So with GSen, can I just rotate my phone and so when using typing text messages, the keyboard will get wider?
sort of.... if you rotate the phone, the keyboard will get wider in a sense that its longer with less hight. The keys then shift around slightly.
Try it, its free and its great. Don't like it? Delete it.
Thanks for the Gsen suggestion. I have installed it and it doesn't do anything, even after rebooting.
Start Menu-> Programs -> Gsen
You won't get any acknowledgment on screen or anything, just click it once. If you click it again you will be told its unloaded. Once you have it loaded (by clicking once)..... turn the phone and wait a second
If you like it, you can then copy this to the startup directory so it autoruns when you boot.
edit: it also installs two other apps. Not sure what they are but i've never needed them so don't worry about them, just leave them sitting happily where they are.
Ahh fab! All working now thank you!
No worries ... great app eh!
Something strange happened. I lost the Start menu bar at the top. Cured itself after rebooting. Does this happen often?
aahhh now i had that issue but it went when i put on a cooked rom (Diamond TLR).
Ahh ok. Well, perhaps its time for me to choose a ROM. Now that is going to completely do my head in!
just startup from landscape mode and always run as Landscape Mode ？do not run portrait？
i'd also like to know but what i have done is set the left softkey to rotate the screen but the annoying thing is once you slide out the kayboard and slide it back in again it goes back to portrait

hmmm i know there is an option for this in Advanced Config - try that maybe
advanced config ？ there are no such items to keep landscape mode?
Go to and regedit
HkLM/System/GDI/Rotation/camAppActive and change it to 1
And the screen wont rotate but if you soft reset or enter x1 camera the screen should rotate again.
