[APP] Simplest working workaround for Landscape TF3D

Inspired by http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=471295
Instruction:
Make sure that that TF3D installed and works like it should in portrait mode
Get latest MortScript from here. Tested with latest beta (preferable).
Install MortScript on your X1
Unzip attached script and put in your \Windows\StartUp (or localized name) folder on your X1
Softreset (or run script manually)
Report
The basic idea is VERY simple - just prevent screen rotation while TF3D is active and allow landscape for any other apps.
Script dynamically switches between landscape and portrait modes if keyboard is unfolded and device is switched from TF3D to “normal” app or vice versa.
If you are using standalone SPb Mobile Shell (not as a panel) this script prevent show "SPb Now screen" on wakeup if TF3D is onscreen.
Now with real prevention of landscape for TF3D.
Drawback - camera button remapped to right softkey while TF3D is on screen. Looking for solution.
Version History:
v1.0
+ Initial Version
v1.1
+ Added ability to autodisable "SPb Now on wakeup" while TF3D on screen
v1.3
+ Real prevention of landscape for TF3D. Camera button not functional while TF3D is on screen.
v1.4
+ While TF3D is on screen right softkey button works as camera button
+ If TF3D isn't on screen right softkey buttion works as right softkey (hardcoded)
Please include in report TF3D version (source) and type of TF3D use (Today/Panel).

I like simple and effective solutions, kudos

OK, so test it.
And don't forget to report.

Just developed new script for people who use SPb Mobile Shell not as a panel.
I’m personally prefer use SPb Mobile Shell in that way because I like fullscreen look and feel of Mobile Shell (and Mobile Shell Panel doesn’t support Russian).
This script include functionality of TF3D landscape workaround plus prevent SPb “Now Screen” to be shown in case that TF3D active.
If you don’t have SPb Mobile Shell you can use this script as well, it will function only as TF3D landscape workaround in that case.
Installation instruction in first post.

Just tried it. It works. When the phone switch to landscape mode when you slide out the keyboard, it switches it back to portrait mode.
Although i really wished that this script stops TF3d to switch to landscape mode entirely. so we dont see that ugly ass half pixelated screen at all

It's just my first mobile script.
I'll try to find out is total prevention possible becase I don't like ugly screen on nice device too.
But anyway it's better to have ugly screen for 1-2 seconds than ugly screen all the time.

Just developed new solution with real prevention of landscape for TF3D.
Drawback that camera button not works while TF3D on screen. Looking for solution.
New version in first post.

1.3 works fine, camera has no issues.
using Itje 2.2 tf3d as today plug In

1.3 works, but it disabled the camera button as stated
Using UK generic ROM, tf3d as panel. fix it fix fix fix fix!
Thanks btw!

Just wondering how you got yours to work? I have the same ROM as yours, but nothing works on my phone...won't go into portrait mode at all

did you follow the instructions exactly? do you get any error messages?
i originally used the version of this with the spb fix in it (for no reason than I could) then replaced the 1.3 file. Can't see how that would make any difference.
I am using the b10 of mortscript btw, but don't think that makes any difference.
Karlson nice script, I might try some different plugins, if I can get the old BIG VGA home plugin working from the x7500 that would look great in landscape. I've never been that impressed by this action screen..
Think about it I might just try some of my old Rltoday screens.

Very nice fix
my TF3D screen doesn't rotate anymore Thank you

Share your ideas - I can make more scripts for any automation.

Just published new version.
Camera button remaped to right softkey.
If TF3D isn't active right softkey works as default (hardcoded).
Please post any suggestion especially if you need different right softkey functionality.

Well, it would be nice if you could wrap a small UI around your app. Perhaps a landscape disable "toggle" and right softkey remap toggle as well? I'm going to try it again, see what it does now.

for TF3D, I have Version 3.0 (Build 32076) <-- This one came with itje's Touch-IT Xperience ROM v.2.2
for MortScript, I'm using the latest one from the link you provided

using V1.4 looks better
just a little problem though, when i slide out my keyboard it kick back to portrait then came back to landscape --> improvement, it stay in landscape, last try it will always kick back to portrait.
when i slide in, it close the cmEXlandscape perfectly
GREAT JOB!
THANKS!!
Cheers

Has anyone tried this with TF3D as a panel?
Also, what happens when I slide open the keyboard, does it rotate back to portrait or does it show the tabs, but as shortcuts on the screen?

Simply irresistible offer
I'd realy like to use my right softkey to start recording voice notes (single press to star recording, not "record while holding")

Are you trying to rotate device and use landscape?

I tried to rotate the device, what do you mean landscape? Is any application?

You can hold device in your hand in either portrait or landscape, i.e. vertically or horizontally
Depending on what rom you are using landscape mode may not be available for TF3D as its only available on manila 2.0+
You can use free apps to rotate screen including gyrator, changescreen, flipit. Quick search in apps/themes forum should find them
Alternatively flash a later rom which has landscape functionality built in

Problems with Landscape Mode

Hi, not sure where to post this, but I searched all over the forums for a possible solution to this problem I'm having. When I tilt my phone, I wanted it to display in landscape mode during the htc sense tabs, so I applied rotation to them via BsB Tweaks.
Everything works fine except when I rotate when I'm the music or photos tab. As you can see in the attached photos, they don't rotate to landscape correctly.
Is there a fix to this? Maybe I need to change some registry values?
I'm using a TMOUS HD2 with EVO rom. Thanks in advance.

I don't know if it'll work on the ROM you're using, but the attached cab is what I'm using on my stock ROM, and it rotates to landscape just fine, in all tabs, including pics and music.

I have had a similar problem if I exit from Opera 10 while it is still in landscape mode. I have to rotate it back to portrait and then exit. Opera 9 was fine in this respect.
I am running the Tmo stock ROM with no landscape mods for reference.

I'm having the same problem as this, but I'm still on the regular tmous rom. I'm using changescreen_inst_v2.5....everything works great except for the music tab. has anyone figure out a solution to this problem?

use tx_total_landscape that is posted above... i have installed it on stock TMO US ROM, Kumar's latest ROM, NRGZ28 and Sergio76 ROM's. No problems and it works great. If it doesnt rotate automatically at first, just press home when in landscape and it should switch. Only happens to me the first time I rotate the phone after install, after that all is well.

Landscape?

Isn't the HD2 screen supposed to change to landscape, when you turn it sideways?
I have not been able to get it to do that once. It always remains portrait.
I have tried turning it in both directions. I also did the "calibrate G-Sensor" thing in Settings, and it appeared to calibrate correctly.
Newest stock T-Mo rom, phone just received yesterday.
Suggestions?

Search would have been your friend on this question.
Tmous HD2 doesn't go to landscape on the home screen as shipped. The picture and music tabs should. There is a cab to enable it for all tabs (including home) or you can use BSB tweaks. I prefer BSB tweaks.

Just tried it with music. Didn't work.

First, turn off the landscape option in BsB, then try the cab I have attached here

Thanks Sir Phunkee.
Just today, I finally got the landscape option to work in the Music and Recent Documents tab. And using BSB, I was able to add the option to a couple apps.
How does your cab work? Does it automatically add the landscape option to all apps?

It's more to add rotation to all the sense tabs...but I think it does add it to a few apps too (file explorer, for example)...but I can't remember for sure.

cab to make the g-sensor work for landscape texting ?

hi everyone,
I was looking and looking for a cab file so I can text in the landscape mode with out using the slide keyboard, but I couldnt find anything, some people told me to look for G-config but I didnt find it

I had this problem too, look for rhodium keyboard config or something in the software worth installing thread. I just pressed the mute key twice to make it go into landscape and it's sweeet

I have been searching for the perfect cab to switch my Tilt 2 to landscape without sliding it open. Where is the mute button? I have tried the keyboard config, but it does nothing. I have the Deepshining rom.
