a rom yet with all the stuff from the HD2 but that works in landscape for the TP2
Seeing that the Leo (AKA HD2) does not have a slide out keyboard... The answer is: No landscape in all screens but photos and music (by way of G-sensor only). The programming is just simply not there for HTC Sense (AKA Manila) 2.5 & 2.6. Once new keyboard devices arrive after Leo, we should see landscape on all screens.
The only way we could see landscape soon in 2.5 is if someone savvy enough and with lots of time, programs landscape screens by hand.
thanks think ill stick with 2.1 then
To be honest, there's really no need for the landscape ones on 2.5
Just my opinion though
Rotastrains, our resident Manilla expert, made an Xperia X1 ROM that had Sense/TF3D 2.5 landscape mode hacked into it, here, but it hasn't been ported to the Rhodium. It would be nice if that happened, but I don't think we'll get landscape for a while.

I have been using the Manilla Touch Flo 2D interface on my Tilt. When I first installed it (about a month ago) I absolutely loved it. I have installed several different themes, and it's pretty nice to look at.
However, I just can't stand the fact that it doesn't support landscape. Let's face it, the big attraction that lead most of us to purchase our Tilts (Kaisers, whatever) is the fact that it has a keyboard (or a tilting screen, which isn't possible without the keyboard slid out). So the fact that TF2D doesn't support landscare is extremely limiting.
Not to mention it's kind of buggy, and sluggish. But the lack of landscape support is really proving to be the deal breaker for me. I use my device in landscape mode more than portrait mode.
So what do you guys think is a good alternative for me? I used SPB Mobile Shell a few years ago on my PPC-6700 when mobile Shell was first released (I'm sure there is a new and better version of it out now, I used the very first version), and it was okay. How is it now? Or is there anything else?
I'm hoping to have something finger friendly, works in landscape, doesn't bog the device down (sluggish), and maybe even something that allows custom skins.
I see the hackers are working on porting TF3D, and it supports landscape. But it is early on in the porting process, and still sluggish and buggy. Is there a finished product yet that can compete?
Mobile shell has come leaps and bounds in the last 2 versions. When 2.0 came out it was almost a copy of HTC home. A lot of people prefer HTC home anyway. Before M2D I used mobile shell. As soon as T3D is functional I will be headed that direction. The graphics are amazing.
As i don't use the htc audio manager / picture viewer, manila tf2d makes no sense for me. I use Pointui with a custom made xml. works perfectly (well, nearly )
landscape is fixed by Mbarvian, it's not the fasted way but it's working.
also on the PDAcornerUltimate V5 Landscape manilla2d is working with the tabs.

Where is Manilla working with the tabs in landscape? Is it a skin I need to install or a new version of Manilla?
Try Throttle Launcher.

It looks cool
I'll have to recommend PointUI 1.51a. In my experience, it's the smoothest running interface, and it replaces the rubbish WM task bar & ugly settings menu system (if you tell it to).
It works great in landscape and allows easy access to many functions. It takes minimal configuring, and looks all right. Not very customisable though, so if you like changing themes & tweaking etc, it may not be your favourite.

you really need to check it out, although I am still running V4 of PDAcornerUltimate after two weeks , it is a very stable rom, I have read that version 7 is out and is all so very fast and stable, well worth trying out...

WAD for the win. By miles.
i used pointui for a while but the battery drain was unacceptable. if battery was not an issue pointui would be my choice. however, i use manila2d right now. spb pocket plus is useful and customizable, but doesnt have any flashy animations if that is what you are looking for.

Yeah I checked that out but it is really only the home and weather tabs that actually work in landscape...
Unless he has a newer version that isn't on the first page of the main Manilla skins thread.

throttle launcher v9.6 should be out soon, i recommend using throttle launcher
I was thinking about the latest ROM's available for the Tilt and the only thing that is a drag is that with the Manilla Touchflo 2d there is no landscape mode. I've noticed that a lot of the ROMs are based off devices that have no landscape ability. Like the Blackstone.
Now that the Fuze aka Raphael is out we have a next gen device that has the touchflo and landscape mode.
Is there anyway to take the landscape bits and apply them to the existing Touchflo 2d roms?
Redundant thread closed.
Ive been messing around, got one rom that works partially in landscape although glitches on a few imput fields.
The NRG roms seem most stable, but only the ones with original TF3D
Anyone have any thoughts on a good rom that I will be able to do the most with landscape wise? Basically just imput fields, texting, etc.
I swear to God if i see one more thread about this...... Manila 2.5 DOES NOT WORK IN LANDSCAPE. Its not the ROM its the Manila from HTC. The only screens that work is pictures and music.

How about for texting and web browsing? I would think those are separate then from the Manilla UI.
What about the ROMS that have SENSE UI? Is that just a "skin" or will the UI work in landscape with the similar feel of Manilla?
The Sense UI now extends to Manila 2.1 and those do have landscape. The 2.5 versions doesn't have landscape. The Sense UI that is related to manila is still manila and only works in landscape on 2.1. If you are referring to skins that modify pointui or spb mobile those are just skins. Texting outside of manila should have landscape and so should opera.

Ok thanks! I really like the weather clock and the way the email feels in manilla 2.5.
NRG Photon Rom has the Weather Clock
I have accepted the landscape problem with 2.5 since this version of manilla first emerged, but it has always puzzled me. My understanding is that 2.5 is basically for the HD2/Leo, right? So does this mean that the HD2 does not have landscape for manilla tabs (other than pics and music)?
In all the video reviews of the HD2 I have seen to date, none actually show the reviewer rotating the phone on the homescreen.
I have never cooked a ROM so perhaps this is a dumb question....but if any chefs can shed some light on why it does not work I would be grateful.
Thanks

yeah but its not the same as, the LEO for instance, where the cloiuds come from all over the screen, or the moonlight beams in from the corner of the device

The manila files and scripts just don't have that functionality. I do not think the LEO has landscape. Give it time.. Remember the original manila didn't really have a landscape either.

Im downloading Photon as we speak. If this works, ill be thrilled.. if only I could change the mail tab icon to the envelopes instead of the ugly mailbox and get the whole email view like on 2.5
If I do use a manilla 2.5 rom, is their landscape support in apps or when forming emails?
In photon there is an app called G-Config under Start Menu/Utilities. You can select what functions you want to autorotate there and problem solved.

awesome! Thanks man.
So essentially I can use photon with manilla 2.5 - and just turn on rotate for email/text/internet?
Only things that use manilla would be the email/text previews and the home screen right?
Yeah you can go with Leo and have the added features of 2.5 and just select what programs you want to rotate other than Manilla.
I still have a problem with text entry in facebook - The keyboard doesnt do anything but shake the screen in landscape mode
Can't help you there as I am one of the few people in the world with no facebook

Is that gyrator? It can be installed in any ROM!
Any yes Manila 2.5 does not work in landscape, and it has been discussed zilliion times....
This guy and his ROM (for SE Xperia) has landscape support for Manila 2.5 : http://htcpedia.com/rotastrains_manila2_5_landcape/soft/sony-x1-rom.html
Dont know how he did it, but it can be done. Ive seen nothing lie this for the Touch Pro 2.
Hi guys,
is there any build, which has not the problem with dialer going portrait, when having first keyboard slided out (phone in landscape) and then starting to type contact name ?
I tried many ROMs with additional cabs of Rhodium dialer, with no luck. Usecase when I invoke dialer first and then slide the keyboard out works fine (if dialer supports it).
Because of this problem, I'm still using energyrom titanium build from 22th September, which has not this problem and landscape mode is working in every usecase.
Thanks for reply, I really want to know if I'm the only one in the world with this problem.
Prdie
Am I really the only one in the world with this problem ?
TOUCH_IT
HA! seeming that way..
i use itje's Touch-It Black Leo (BL) Landscape (LS), the 23518 build.
the dialer works perfectly for me in LS or Portrait. plus, its uber zippy, near flawless, and packed with all the new HTC stuff, including official HTC Landscape for Manila 2.5
anyways - try it, dont try - its my ten cents.
use Touch X 10.9.1
You're right, Touch X has not this problem, but I don'like WM 6.1 (I miss titanium). If I remember, Touch-It Black Leo has the problem (dialer is in landscape, but when I'm out of dialer in portrait, I slide the keyboard first and start typing, dialer is shown and it goes portrait).
Now I flashed jerpeleas X2 with same problem. I tried late Valkyrie, Xperio, Xperia 1.5 and several others, all with same problem.
EnergyROM in september was working fine (built on WM6.5)
Hi,
since i never type anything in portrait and i liked how the landscape of manila 2.1 looked, i was always hoping for a full landscape-only rom with the sense gui. and by full i mean no portrait available... or at least only through third party tweaking programs
the autorotate for music and album in sense is just not made for our hardware. its so slow and laggy. and when it has finally finished rotating the scrolling is also no fun. i hope the chefs disable this in their future roms.
Does anyone know a rom like this or are there any cooks who would produce something like this??
thx
hdizzel

maxmanila is a whole theme... and i dont want it to rotate. it should be landscape by default.
anyway thanks for the hint. will try.
take a rom with a landscape capable manilla (if 2.5 just the latest are for all tabs) and deactivate the autorotate function.
could have found that by search function:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=575557
also have a look here for the gdi value...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=447290
as it cant be changen in "windows-settings -> system -> screen" anymore as i just noticed
and it should be fine...
but u will get the slow music and picture tab as manilla 2.5 is designes this way there is no other landscape for - otherwise take 2.1
actually with the new manilla 2.5.1922 the landscape tabs for music and pictures are different from the ones in previous 2.5 settings. They kinda look like the manilla 2.1 ones.
Yeah, I just started a post looking for a cab or reg edit to disable the rotation on the music, documents and photos tabs on the new manila 2.5 1922 too, those reg keys are not the same as in the new manila.
Maybe, this could help?
