Rapid Screen Rotation - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General

Hi all,
How do you manage to have a rapid screen rotation?
I'm using Tomtom and everytime I need to do it manually....
Is it possible to add a little tab or something like that?
Thank you
Frank

This is on the first page of the forum if you look!

From the 2nd sticky post (Diamond Tweaks), you can find how to change your registry to enable screen rotation:
HKLM - System - GDI - Rotation - HideOrientationUI (Change from 1 to 0)
Then, map your button to the rotation tweak:
Settings -> Buttons -> Map with <Rotate Screen>
When you would like to rotate your screen, just hold your Phone button.

I prefer a automatic rotation. Gsen is for me the solution.

Apart from the fact that I cant change any button maps, how would you use the phone if you remapped the phone button?

Linking Button 6 to Adjust Brightnes?

As the topic is saying. Does someone know how I can link my Button 6 to adjust the backlight?? (Just like the HTC Home, Off - Low - Medium - High)
I tried google but didn't found anything :S
Help plz
thx.
Someone? Cmon
It is possible to map button 6 for Brightness
I saw your post and I made some teste on my tilt.
I was a big fan of HTC today, but I always loose my contact tab on today's screen when making few changes. Until,I found a alternative today's page. Im using SPB phone suite 4.0.
Your problem can be solve by using SPB phone suite.
If you already disable your PTT and regedited your button 6 you can ignore the step below.
1. just disable your PTT.
2. goto settings-> button -> you will see "add buttons" option.
3. click on "add buttons" to map your button6 for click/hold (two buttons).
4. on the selection you will see
[Backlight down]
[Backlight loop]
[Backlight up]
I choose Backlight down for testing and it did dimm the backlight when I click on my button 6 (PTT button).
I think for you would be "Backlight loop".
I really found Backlight on button6 is quite useless because I do need my voice command for calls and apps. Hold button6 for recording conversation.
I have mine Backlight icon on today's page, so I already have quick access.

Force Landscape mode?

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!
2.) go to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=430174

SMS Text Rotate Diamond 90 With Wide Keyboard?

I searched but with no luck.
I would love to rotate the screen (manually or just by rotating the device) 90 degrees so I get the wide keyboard. It's much easier to type on and I text a ton. It looks like it's possible because you can rotate Opera and use the wide keyboard.
Thanks for any insight.
Try searching for an App called Gsen in the Themes, Applications and Software forum

Nice, thanks. However I just got a US version of the Diamond and it has rom version 1.93.422.4 WWE. I guess I'll just have to wait.
doesn't GSEN work with that ROM? you can try manual screen rotation.

It says "Not working on HTC Touch Pro with ROM version 1.90.0.0 or newer and HTC Touch Diamond with Telus ROM." on the first post ...
I tried it but it didn't work. Manual screen rotation?
Yep, I used Advanced Config to enable screen orientation (think its just a regisrtry key change) and assign long button press as a shortcut.

Cool! How do you assign the long press to rotate the screen? I don't see the option when assigning the key ...
Settings > Buttons > Button1 (Hold) > Assign <Rotate Screen>

i don't have this in my options either.
You need to enable screen rotation before that option appears.
Excellent! Thanks for putting up with my noobness

Where is option to enable screen rotation?

Manual Landscape

I have been looking through all the settings on the D2 to manually change the screen to landscape as I used to be able to do on the Touch cruise but without success the G-Sensor is a bit of a hit and miss and only works on some programmes. I would like to use landscape with Navigon 7 anyone know how to do this ?
The TF3D interface does not work in landscape on default, there is an app available for it here
you can go to settings>all settings>system tab>screen and change the orientation, somehow this only works one time for me, it just changes back automatically.
in Navigon (I don't have this) there is probably an option where you can change the orientation
edit: change the orientation to landscape in the screen settings, and then start navigon.
Tnks for the reply TK tried the tweak did not seem to do anything apart from restarting the D2 there are no settings in the screen tab for changing orientation just alighn, Cleartype and Text Size.
will have to keep looking.
somehow the tweak options end up in the all programs list, found under Manila Rotate On/Off.
maybe this option came with one of the programs installed ^^
After you do the manilla landscape you soft-reset and then it should be there for you to rotate stuff. Another app to try out is G-Config. Search for that on the forum. You can add automatic rotation to apps that don't support it after you add them to the list you soft-reset and then try it again. I've managed to put MSN, Skype etc on it.
installed Advanced_Configuration_Tool_v3.3, start and then:
screen -> show orientation settings -> yes
then i configured the one button i can configure (left-bottom: press and hold):
settings -> all settings -> personal -> buttons -> <rotate screen>

What about the phone app? When you're in navigation Mode with MN|7 and a call comes in, the phone app is in portrait, right?
Does anyone know, how to turn the phone app to landscape?

question about landscape mode....

so i have qestion...is posible to make the screen in landscape mode like it is when openin to type with the qwerty keyboard...but i wanna now if i can make the screen in landscape without opening the phone sideways....by the way have a xperia x1...thnx to all....
on short notice I would say quick menu
or it's updated/altered version
or search, always a good friend...
otherwise one can do it from
settings->screen
lol, yes there is that too
another option is to map it to a button:
start - settings - personal - buttons -> select a button and assign program <Rotate Screen>
cheers
