hi guys,
just liberated my shift and used the cooked roms to enable gps in wm.
i want to load up my wm side with a portrait display every time. had a browse through the registry and i cant see any obvious keys. also searched the net and nothing...
are there any reg codes which i can edit to make wm start up in portrait mode every time?
rgds, james
I did never do such on an shift but afaik manila has an option to switch portrait / landscape mode, try to cook manila (i recommend 2d for speed) into your rom

I have the option in WM Screen settings to set the orientation to portrait, however when you soft reset the device it switches back to landscape.
I'm looking for a way to ensure this is always set to portrait on startup.
Thx, J

I have just tried pawels snapvue .cab on my diamond and it dispalys perfectly in landscape mode.
Just wondering if anyone can think of a way to have tf3d as the today screen in portrait and when you rotate the device (using gsensor) the today plugin changes to snapvue?

That might cause a fair bit of lag, you'd have two today screens essentially running on standby. If you like snapvue just disable tf3d and set your Diamond to landscape mode permanently.

I like them both.
I was thinking along the lines of a profile switcher which is set to change when the device is tilted back and forth from landscape to portrait when on the today screen.
I'm not too hot on the programming front but I assume you'd have to either have touchflo AND snapvue running consecutively (with one running hidden depending on orientation) OR set each plugin to initialize from a cold start depending on orientation. both scenarios would I think cause problems - intensive ram usage go the first instance and VERY slow profile switching in the second (You've seen how long it takes for touchflo to start on boot!).
I don't think it's just a simple bit of programming needed here unfortunately
I've set my Touch Diamond up with the Landscape Manila mod and have installed Flip IT (also tried Gyrator, only Flip IT triggered Landscape Manila) - both work as expected, giving me a nice landscape Today screen and rotating other applications as desired.
One big issue I've hit, though, is that on rotation from portrait to landscape, the keyboard breaks and has to be changed. By default, I use the Compact QWERTY keyboard as I prefer it in portrait mode, but when in landscape mode I would like to (and am forced to anyway) use the Full QWERTY keyboard.
Is there a way to set the keyboard to Full QWERTY when the device goes into landscape mode and Compact QWERTY when it goes into portrait mode? I had no luck with searching the entire Diamond forum.
Thanks,
Nick
P.S. For reference, I'm running A.Z.T.O.R. V7 WWE ROM.
Although it's developed for other purposes, PQzII works very well.
Thanks for the tip Obsidian, but I'm not sure I understand how this will fix the issue. It sounds like you've got it working as desired, can you give me any tips on how to set it up properly for the purpose described above?
Thanks,
Nick
It works pretty much as it is described here:
After you start the programm you see a white square in your taskbar
If you press and hold it, you'll be able to configure the settings (which icon to use and many more)
Right on the first tab "CTRL/ALT" you'll be able to choose a SIP for portrait (Port) and another one for landscape (Land)
Hit ok and you're done. The change takes a little time, so be patient.
Ah, I see, so it's still a manual solution. As it stands right now, I can use the keyboard softkey to switch successfully.
Mainly, I'm looking for a way to have the keyboards seamlessly switch when the mode changes, like on the iPhone. I wouldn't mind so much about switching actual keyboards (i.e. Compact QWERTY to Full QWERTY) physically if they would just remain displayed after the switch; right now, on switching modes, the keyboard disappears completely.
Any other ideas out there?
Thanks,
Nick
I would also like this feature as I am used to typing in the Compact Qwerty, when I switch to landscape the Compact Qwerty option disappears. Perhaps there is a registry tweak to enable it?
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?
Does anyone know of a way to lock tf3d2 in portrait mode? I never use TF3D2 in landscape, and all it does is get in the way when i try and write a message, often lagging, then opening TF3D2 in landscape over the top of my new message.
Would be sweet if theres a way to completely remove landscape tf3d2, or simple remove the setting that triggers landscape in Touchflo when keyboard is open (but still triggers it for all other apps).
Cheers
yeah!
I'd like to have the tf3d menu in landscape - but the tf3d2 in portrait mode :-D

that wouldnt be bad, i thught of that. But it still lags, some often ill hit new message slide the keyboard and it goes back to landscape tf3d2 (even the tf3d landscape in the old tf3d did this).
Give this a try
Edit EnableLanscape value to false in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila
*nevermind, tried it on my device and it just made the tabs disappear
I don't even know why they're (ROM devs) are using TF3D2 in their ROMS. It's a buggy pile. Try opening up the Comm Mgr. in landscape mode, and then attempt to turn something on/off.
You can't.
