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.

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.
I know that the home screen will rotate to landscape mode when attached to the car dock. But is it possible to rotate the home screen to landscape mode when the phone is not attached to the car dock?
Yes it is possible..depending which Rom you use..
several launchers can do it as well, i know LauncherPro can do it but I personally hate it cause some widgets look bad when turned landscape
Can someone write application to emulate that the phone is in car dock without physically being in the dock?, this will enable the horizontal stock features

There should be quite a few programs out there that would allow you to launch the car dock without it actually being docked. I don't know any offhand as I don't care for that feature but I've seen it.
I'm building a dock for my SGS, but instead of using the phone landscape, i would like to use it vertically, since most aps are just not made for landscape (musicplayer, etc).
Is there any way to flip the screen so it can be used upside down?

And you didn't read the first sticky post why?
I'm running cognition 2.4.1, it has a rotation on the home screen! The actual home screen will rotate when the screen it turned landscape. The other cogs dont do this, even the newest one(11/18/10). I asking if we can get a full 360 degree rotation for the screen, like the jailbroken iPhone. That's just cool! Useful as well when using it in the car on landscape.
Check Settings=>Display and see if auto rotate screen is checked.
You can also use LauncherPro to achieve the same.
or you can simply pull down the task bar, and hit the auto rotate button
I actually like the home screen rotating. I'm just wondering if there is a way to do full 360° rotation. With the plug on the top, I could turn the phone upside down when in the car. I love it.
It's launcher dependant. Pull the launcher .apk from whatever ROM and plug it into another.

Is it possible to set the home screen to rotate? I use the original rom and with "rotate screen" - ON , but the home screen did not rotate.
Currently on stock firmware there isnt a function to make the the home interface rotate. A dev could possibly make a mod, but development is slow. one other thing you can try is try another home launcher.
It does rotate when using the docking station though, so the functionality is already there. Just the lockscreen does not rotate.
Thanks for the replies. I have the phone for one day and still learning what to do and to setup.

I think also the lockscreen will be easily able to rotate, with the pincode turned and screen locked try to take a picture, the press manual mode, it will ask for the pin, for ~2s the lockscreen is perfectly aligned in horizontal then it rotates.
I don't get why Sony should prevent homescreen and lockscreen to rotate when seems they are both built to do that.
try "Screen Rotation Steuerung" App -> set to auto -> voila you have rotation Homescreen! (Damn not ootb)
