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.
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.
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)
so i have installed the rom Touch-IT Black Leo v3 ...but the homescreen is not working in landscape mode...every other menu works but when i open my mobile in the home screen theres a black color on the display and cant do nothing....so i close the mobile to portrait mode to view the home scrreen.....any one can help!!!!
Try a newer version of touch-it.
does this require a new thread to be opened?
couldnt you have asked in the specific rom thread?
