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

Texting in landscape

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

Ok in my zeal to change the registry..I am not use to this keyboard on board and I change the registry right below this GDI-rotation-hideorientationUI...what was the name and value right below this? I can't believe I did that.

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.

Hello bro, your instruction is clear. But for a beginner like me, I do not know what is the .exe file to include in the gsenconfig (file name in WM6 for messaging application)

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!

You want this:

How come Gsen works with my "Programs" but nothing else.. it wont rotate in texts or nething else.. wtf.

Gsen hasn't been updated in an eternity.
I recommend Brins0net_Gyrator:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=427805
Still in very much active development and in a much more usable and configurable state than Gsen.

How to set Keyboard backlight permanent on?

Hi all,
Is there a way to set the keyboard backlight permanent on, when it is charging?
I have try advanced config, but there i only can change the timeout. No difference if chargin or not.
Thanks for your help
Best regards Voshi

Are you sure you dont have a touch pro?

umm... what?

sorry for missunderstanding i mean the "keyboard" from Diamond of course. I want to set the 4 hardwarekeys (home - back - hang up - hang on) permanent on when the diamond is in the carholder. the backlight for this keys are only on (for 10 sec by default) if you touch the sensor. sorry for my poor english, hope you know what i mean
Thanks yoshi

he wanted to say that there is no keyboard on the diamond device so that you can adjust the keyboard backlight.
at least - my diamond does also not have a keyboard
if you want to adjust the keyboard backlight, you have to buy yourself a diamond pro

He means which version of the Diamond do you use?? the one with a qwerty keyboard or the one without??

as all you can see in my signatur i have a Touch Diamond. I also write this post into the Diamond section! hope now its clear. The question is still the same. How can i set the 4 hardwarekeys to permanent backlight when the diamond is in the carholder.
\\Yoshi

i understood what he meant, just not the second post lol
i have never read about a solution for this, seen a couple of other posts asking.
Hope i am proved wrong

Allright man...sorry for my delayed reaction.....I wasn't the only one on this topic...lol
I don't have a solution either...I know when you slightly touch the center button, it will glow up and then go off in about 20 seconds...I'm wondering IF it would be possible anyhow....

i see.
we were confused as "keyboard backlight" is different to "hardwarekey backlight"
but here you go:
change HKCU\ControlPanel\Backlight\QKeyLedTimeout to a higher value.
the value represents seconds.
haven't tried it myself. please post back if it works

yes the reg key is working, but iam looking for a solution only if the touch diamond is in the cradle.
\\yoshi

Maybe possible if you use Phoneweaver to create a "power" profile (which is activated when u plug in power or sync) to run a Mortscript file that writes to the registry.
In your script file (open a text file and save it as .mscr), you just need this line:
RegWriteDWord ("HKCU", "ControlPanel\Backlight", "QKeyLedTimeout", no_of_seconds)
Another script file to make it back to default value once you disconnect from plug or sync:
RegWriteDWord ("HKCU", "ControlPanel\Backlight", "QKeyLedTimeout", 10)

Hi all,
I found a interestistin post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=440305
where i can use mortscript if the diamond is handsfree connected.
so how can i send a "touch sensor" command?

full screen in pocket informant won't go off

hi people! i have installed on my diamond this app: pocket informant... the latest version...
i was exploring the program, and i found there was an option to turn the program in full screen...
the problem is now i can't turn off that option, and pocket informant is always in fullscreen mode, and it's impossibe to access to the menus, editing what we want, exit the program... is real annoying....
does anyone know how to disable that option??
thanks!!!

I have no solution for you how to disable this option.
To turn off fullscreen again, you have to change the registry key:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\WebIS\PocketInformant]
"FullScreen"=dword:00000000
Be sure to quit PI before changing the registry key.

You should be able to press a hard key on the phone and it will take it out of full screen.

sorry for asking you that, but how can i change the registry? i never did that, and i really don't know how to do it... do i need to have some program for it??
thatks!! and by the way, do you know if the version 8.5 fixes this problem, witch is really annoying??

Had the same problem. Contacted WebIs and got the following reply
If you do have an issue where its not coming out of full screen mode when it should, then you can fire up a reg editor and go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\WebIS\PocketInformant and delete "FullScreen".

It does actually; mapping Button 1(hold) to something (usually left soft key)will drop PI out of full screen mode as advertised.
I've got mine mapped to Comm Manager; if PI has focus in full screen it will drop out of full screen and retain focus, if not in full screen Comm Manager launches

can you explain me please??
thanks!

Start|Settings|Buttons| 1) highlight the bottom option "Button 1(hold) and 2) select action from the drop down menu...option <Left Softkey> is the recommended but Comm Manager works for me as "dual use".
Button 1, of course, the Call Answer (Send) key...

Had the same problem with my HD2. The registry edit worked like a charm - I just changed the value in Fullscreen from 1 to 0.
Very nice fix.

Use Advanced Config for this..
Or just change the following reg. keys:
In this case the left key is: Icontact; the right Key is Commanager
("HKLM","\Software\HTC\Manila" ,"HomeLSKPath","\Storage Card\Program Files\iContact\iContact.exe")
("HKLM","\Software\HTC\Manila","HomeLSKText","iContact")
("HKLM","\Software\HTC\Manila" ,"HomeRSKPath","\windows\CommManager.exe")
("HKLM","\Software\HTC\Manila","HomeRSKText","CommManager")

Thanxs for your Speedy(quick) reply!!! (Speedy is because I work for Trotec/Trodat, maybe you know them).
It works!, of course, I hear you say
When, as in my case, the phone is factory default then the HomeLSK.. and Home RSK... are stil empty.
I put iGo8 in it and I am verry happy!
Of course, don't forget a soft-reset.
Thanxs again!
PS. The Austrian are always quick when you need help.

I meant that was the path to put in the registry. the rest IS the registry, there was no need for me to restate that.
For text you can put whatever you want to display. Like camera, cam, whatever.
