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

I tried it does not work on mine lol but thanks
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.

I will give this a try thanks bud
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.
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.
Simple

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.
just installed soulife.rogers.v2.9.2.extended and I get the homescreen on the RIGHT instead of in the middle as usual... anyway to fix it back? Tried dxtop just now and it gave me the same sort of behaviour!

You talking about the clock and stuff? Just place everything where you want it.
i mean when you hit 'home' it goes to the screen on the RIGHT ... you have to scroll left twice to get to the third screen...

mine does that too now and I'm on cm 3.9.11.2. It goes to whatever screen my seach widget is on.
That happened to me once but then I realized I had five homescreens...
I've heard of people having issues after flashing from one rom to a different if they did not clear the widgets off their home before flashing.

It's not unusual (sorry but your name, c'mon how could i not?)
When i used to use OpenHome there was always an option in the settigns to configure which screen acted as the home screen.

Cheers!
I was wondering if there was a way to lock apps in landscape mode? For instance, maps. When using maps to navigate I like the phone to be in landscape but it will jump between portrait and landscape with the slightest movement of my leg (the phone is sitting on my leg while I drive) and it gets pretty annoying while trying to follow directions.
I wish.
Apps don't have to be written to be in whatever view. So it can't be forced.
And I've always wanted a root permission that could force apps in landscape but it's never happened.

Look what I found.
"Also, apps that use the accelerometer directly to reorient themselves sometimes compete with the system doing the same thing, with odd results. And finally, some apps that use the accelerometer to detect things like shaking motions and that don't lock their orientation to portrait or landscape, often end up flipping back and forth between orientations. This can be irritating to the user. (You can lock your app's orientation to portrait or landscape using the 'android:screenOrientation' attribute in your AndroidManifest.xml.)"
1) Open the keyboard. There, stuck in landscape.
2) Hack the XML.

The OP doesn't have a keyboard to open (MT3G), so option 1 is out.
This is the DREAM forum. It is therefore, a perfectly valid answer.
For questions about MAGIC, he should go to the MAGIC forum.

Option (2) actually isn't difficult.
I got these apk's from several different places, mostly from OpenEclair rom so shoutout to that team. They all install and open and there are FC's here and there. enough talk, let's see what does and doesnt work then
GenieWidget.apk
gallery_flan.apk
Music.apk
DeskClock.apk
CarDock.apk
http://bit.ly/9eJm9u
Problem I have with the music app is the fact when I lock it, I dont have the convenient play/pause, forward, and back button on the lock screen.
Gallery is great but don't put it in landscape mode! All you get is a distorted image when you do so not that bad (I'm guessing it's a screen size issue?). It did force close when using the camera button tho.
Gallery is pretty sweet, a little slow at first, but for sure an improvement over the stock gallery.
Gallery FC's on me consistently. It asks for permission for the google account.. I hit allow and it FC.
If you guys have anymore apk's let me know and I'll add them to the list
Does anyone else get a FC in the Desk clock when they press the settings button? I get it in LS and PT.

Mine works in both landscape mode and vertical mode. You just have to have it orientated that way when you start it up. If you move it from one or the other, you get the distortion.

Didn't know that, I also assumed it was a screen size issue. Thanks
Glad I could help!
