Just a simple question if anyone is willing to help
How do I keep my phone on landscape all the time?
I have tried going to "settings -> align screen -> landscape" but everytime i close my keyboard goes back to portrait mode . Some say it's due to "clear type" i turned that off and still keeps going back to portrait [I do lot of texting]
So if anyone has any ideas and would like to pass on plz 'n thanks
If you rotate the screen in closed-keyboard(portrait) to landscape,it keeps all the time in LS mode all the time after(keyboard in/out doesn't matter).. You can do it using mortscript,SPB PocketPlus or in a different way.
I have got a opera mobile 9.7 beta and when you rotate screen on landscape with this software and press home button, your screen will be still on landscape
// It is some BUG of opera, but you can use it

And also i found program called GSen ot rotates your touch pro !
If you have sk tools (probably even the free version), use the shortcut manager to create a landscape mode shortcut, then copy it into \windows\startup. You should be good to go.

In changeScreen you have the choise which orientation you want to use by default. And you can make exceptions. For example, I hate it when bubble breaker starts a new game when I tilt my phone to far, so I've set it up in a way it only uses portrait.

hehe im trying to do the exact opposite
I want tf3d to be in portrait all the time, regardless of keyboard in or out.
If i figure out how, ill let you know because it should be easy then to convert to landscape only.

Nope sorry
I had another thread going and their were a few suggestons but it didnt make any difference.
why not just use screenchanger 2.8 and set default only 2 the landscape of your choice (dont know if ur right or left handed)???
if u chose "enable" and "run on startup" wouldnt that fix everything w/o out using some stupid glich?
all the programs that i have used like gsen etc, dont override the keyboard slide. It seems to have some hardwired switch which overrides all of those programs and forces landscape, and then back to portrait when you slide it back in.

I just installed TomTom 6 on my Diamond, all is working well but I can't seem to force the display to rotate 90 degrees to landscape orientation.
On my Wizard I always programmed one of my hardware buttons to <rotate screen>. There's only one button to program (the green phone button) on the Diamond, but the <rotate screen> option is not available!
Any thoughts?
Have you tried to install SPB pocket plus and use the built-in shortcut to rotate the screen? It should work... or so i hope
with QuickMenu.

Wow nice app!
Ill try it out on my wife's Diamond to see if it will force rotate (and hopefully remain rotated after a reboot/restart).
I was hoping on a more elegant solution, other than having to install a whole new app just to enable screen rotation!
You know what, I'll fire up the WM6 SDK and program a TT6 launcher myself Let me know if anyone's interested so we can gather some tips and other useful input on this.
I used quicktime but it messed up my taskbar, my close programs icon was gone
needed to hard reset
"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!
Hey guys,
Here is the promised fix for the TF3D landscapemode. This is for english ROMs only. For any other language you have to fix the Program Files paths.
This SHOULD work on any english ROM with TF3D.
1. Install cmEXlandscape.cab
2. Install SecondToday.cab
3. Softreset
Note that this is only a WORKAROUND, so there may be minor bugs, but in general it should work fine.

---> Don't close Second Today. Best if you add it to the exclusive list of the HTC Taskmanager.
bye
Ah, that's interesting indeed... Will try it out. Thanks
what exactly does this workaround?
tnx for your work
A step in the right direction anyway...works reasonably well.
Very Nice!
I'll give it a shot later today

ehm... I mean what tecnically does. How it works
running secondtoday with rltoday in background. mortscripts makes it active windows when device is put into landscape and minimized when going back to portrait.
What happens when I will minimize all windows (red button press)?? What if I am not using the TF3D Panel (for whatever reason)
It will minimize SecondToday if you press the HangUp button. Not running TF3D won't run the script at all.

tf3d is turned off and need to restart once back to portrait mode? Seems to be slow

No, TF3D is running all the time.
Slow? Not really. Not much slower than on a Touch Pro.
Perfect Works like a charm!
I find myself sliding my keyboard out much more often now. Heh
EDIT: Donation sent =)

I may be wrong, but it looks like you don't have TouchFLO 3D running in the background, you need it running.

Understood.
Is it possible that Jack's V1.06 ROM does not work with this workaround?
If anyone is using these .cabs with Jack's, please shout it out! We'd most likely have an answer then.
This does not work with the TF3D Panel... does it?
Hello.
I asked this already 100x,but I got no answer,so I try again.
Is there a way to disable automatic rotation when sliding the keyboard out?
I hate it.
If I need,I can do it manually(maybe 1% of the time I need landscape) and the rotation is unwanted slowdown.
Can someone modify the sensor driver or show me another way,how to achieve this please?
I'll be soooooo lucky then.
Thanks.

How do you use the keyboard if the screen is not in landscape mode ?
I doubt there's a know method, because you're maybe the only person in the word who don't want the landscape mode when using the keyboard..

Mostly I am using keyboard for ICQ for really short messages.
Few words I want to write will take 3 seconds normally,but with rotation it takes 20.
It makes me no problem to write "Hi" when notrotated screen.
If you screen rotation back and forth takes 17 seconds,
then there's something wrong with your ROM...
Anyway, I'll try to make a little app for you, but I don't know if it's going to work...

Please don't solve this. I want to solve just a simple thing - rotation disable.

I have the perfect idea.....if you don't like or use landscape and you don't want the screen to rotate......DONT SLIDE OUT THE KEYBOARD.....lol.....i'm sure you know there is an on screen keyboard to use in portrait mode when you want to text or instant message. Pretty simple.
I do find it very weird that something like that would bother you, besides the fact that the rotation can lag at times. You should have got an Iphone or something without a keyboard.
I couldn't find any way to make Windows stay in portrait mode, BUT... when you're in landscape it will stay in it! I mean, screen won't change to portrait, when keyboard will be closed. So maybe you want to stay in landscape instead? I've written tiny app to change rotation back and forth...
1. I bought TP,because I USE keyboard(One more thing that leads me to upgrade from Himalaya)
2.Thanks,that I know. Maybe the driver has hardcoded the angle to rotate(270dgs) and I want to change this angle to zero(or in a better way to disable it completely),but don't know how.
I want to use portrait instead of landscape,because is much comfortable for me for 90% of time and apps. I can easily switch to ls by pressing a button.
Hi guys, Happy Easter! Currently I am typing from my D2, so I'm not able to search for a good fix due to slow wi-fi connection. That's why I'm asking any of you that already knows how to make my screen auto rotate. I am using windows 6.5 and I can't remember which rom, tough it's a very simple one. At this point my image won't auto rotate when moving the phone, so games like Rock Band won't work. Opera and other few programs auto rotate plus games that are made only on landscape. The problem is I can't find the auto rotate setting or program, only a setting that makes me choose landscape/portrait. I changed my whole menu to landscape and Rock Band still doesn't work. Can anyone help me?
Thank you

There is an auto rotate app here. I have not tested it so I can't confirm that it will work on your ROM.
You can also try the attached GSensor cab.
Another thing you can do use the Topaz keyboard control app and set rotate to one of your buttons.

Thanks. The first program is working grrreat! Though not for Calculator. I've added and removed it from the list and rebooting my mobile and Calculator doesn't rotate.

The app must support rotation and you could also set one of your buttons on double\triple\ or long press to rotate screen left or right with the kybrd cnfg....
