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

Alternate snapview and tf3d?

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

change displaymode in settings from directdraw to raw buffer, save and klick iLock twice to restart s2u2.

Install the latest version of s2u2 (i think 1.35). I have no problem with this application, even if display setting is set to directdraw!

I'm using 1.35 also
However I did have to change the settings to RawBuffer,
Otherwise, any time I tried to unlock the phone in Landscape mode the screen displayed a scrambled image of the slide screen.
However set as RawBuffer I have no problem at all in Landscape
I posted how to change the settings earlier in this thread, since the change to RawBuffer i have had no issues with S2U2
Glad it works without any setting changes for some people tho

Thanks All of you

Hi,
I've installed s2u2 2.24 on my x1, it works like a charm except that on incoming calls the "normal" windows mobile popup is displayed as well,
it's annoying because it covers a part of the s2u2 incoming call screen,
does anyone know how to disable it?

default startup screen orientation

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
Greets

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

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?
