Change rotate screen?

I put the rotate screen in my launcher so I can goto landscape without opening the keyboard for GPS, pics, etc. It rotates the screen 90 degrees right when holding the device upright making it upside down to the keyboard. How can I make it rotate the other way so I can access the keyboard if I want without rotating the device 180 degrees?
first go in settings/screen and set it to the landscape mode you want, then exit, get back in there and set it portrait. this way it remembers the landscape mode you want and when calling rotate screen it will rotate ok

I tried that just now and it still reverts to "Left-Handed" mode when I click rotate screen.
i think the rotate program you use tells the kaiser the landscape mode to use.
try to assign rotate to a hardware button(the default rotate in WM), and that should work (i use hold voice button)

stuck in landscape mode :(

my device wont come out of landscape after i close the keyboard... any ideas?
sorry, went to the screen control panel and selected "portrait" from the options... weird that it would revert to landscape like that though. after i selected portrait, it functions properly (so far) when the keyboard slides out

Landscape issues with Windows Mobile 6.1

There seem to be issues with Windows Mobile 6.1 and Landscape.
If you switch the display to landscape, and reboot the phone, it will change back to portrait.
If you press the missed calls button in HTC Home while in landscape, it will switch back to portrait.
Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?
Alright, I fixed the missed calls issue with a new dialer, but the phone still consistantly boots into Portrait.
i'm not too sure but i would assume u have a kaiser...and when u say it boots into portrait i assume its a soft reset or a power on...and i assume that when you're in landscape mode u have the hardware keyboard slid out...if it boots to portrait...cant u just slide in n out the keyboard to have it go back to landscape?
Sure, when I slide out the keyboard, it goes into landscape. However, when I close it again, it goes back into portrait.
If, after the phone has booted, I go into Screen options and change it back to Landscape, it will stay in landscape regardless of what I do.
When I soft-reset, it goes back into portrait. If they keyboard is open, it will start in portrait, then shift into landscape. Upon closing the keyboard, it's back to portrait.
This is the default behavior for HTC devices. My Wizard did this just like my Tilt. I would suspect the cause is because when you slide out the hardware keyboard, a sensor activates a service running in the WM subsystem that tells WM to rotate the screen.
However, if you actually go into the screen options and change the default screen orientation to landscape, the registry is updated to reflect landscape as the new default orientation.

So yeah, done that.
Windows Mobile 6.0 did not have this problem. If you set it to Landscape in screen options, and rebooted, it would stay in landscape. This issue with it always booting in portrait is new in 6.1.
Same problem here.. anybody found any solution? Thanks.

landscape mode by default?

I want to use the phone mainly in landscape mode for a change. Is there any means to set it by default? That means, that it has to stay in landscape when I close a game, for instance, and when I slide back the keyboard (atm it turns portrait in both cases).
It was discussed several times, AFAIK there is no solution.
shame.. thanks for your answer.
Just assign a hw key to rotate the screen so you can force the phone to landscape whenever it goes to portrait.
True, it's not what you wanted, but it's the closest thing we got.

360° rotation

I'm running cognition 2.4.1, it has a rotation on the home screen! The actual home screen will rotate when the screen it turned landscape. The other cogs dont do this, even the newest one(11/18/10). I asking if we can get a full 360 degree rotation for the screen, like the jailbroken iPhone. That's just cool! Useful as well when using it in the car on landscape.
Check Settings=>Display and see if auto rotate screen is checked.
You can also use LauncherPro to achieve the same.
or you can simply pull down the task bar, and hit the auto rotate button
I actually like the home screen rotating. I'm just wondering if there is a way to do full 360° rotation. With the plug on the top, I could turn the phone upside down when in the car. I love it.
It's launcher dependant. Pull the launcher .apk from whatever ROM and plug it into another.
