It is very useful for Magician owners to have that lil xtra icon on the taskbar for screen rotation!
Easy, quick and responsive. Any chance to have that for the Himalaya? Any alternative?
Required at once :shock:
...alternatively you can map any of 4 HW buttons to rotate screen. It is even faster, coz you don't have to take out the stylus, close running application and so on...
just push that button...

I use RotateSE with a shortcut in cLaunch. Works Fine

Can someone please help me tweak the setting which makes the screen rotate from landscape to portrait when the screen gets slid back over the keyboard.
I have a hardware button mapped to rotate the screen. I often use the unit in landscape and when doing so I occasionally want access to the keyboard. So I slide the screen up, type whatever I want to type, then slide it back. It's very annoying that doing so forces the screen back to portrait.
The behaviour I want is this:
[When in portrait] sliding open causes rotation to landscape.
[When in landscape] sliding open changes nothing.
[When in landscape] sliding closed changes nothing (currently it causes rotation to portrait).
1 & 2 are the default behaviours. Is it possible to keep them and add 3?
I think I have stumbled accross a solution to your problem.
I use VJOkButt from www.vijay.com mapped to the top right hardware button. This closes rather than minimses the currnet app when pressed. Anyway to achieve your option 3 all I do is Press the camera hardware button, this switches you to Landscape. If you click on the X to close the camera app the screen returns to portrait but if you press the hardware button mapped to VJOkButt the camera closes but the screen remains in landscape. Best of all opening or closing the keyboard does not change screen orientation. You can still manually change orientation back to Portrait from Settings>Screen. Soft reset will return to original functionality e.g. slide the keyboard to change orientation.
Hope this works for you.

Guys, anyone using VJOkButt should upgrade to this version, v0.73:
http://www.vijay555.com/vj/Releases/VJOkButt/VJOkButt.exe
I introduced a memory leak in 0.72 and tracked it down this lunch time. I haven't cabbed this up yet, because I'm still testing, but it should be more reliable (long term) then 0.72 which is available on my site at the moment.
Also one bug - I've made the window closing slightly too severe, so occassionally it will close a small dialog AND it's parent. This is only in isolated circumstances, but I'll fix this ASAP.

Sorry mate I'm having a typo day today
www.vijay555.com it is.
Thanks for your hard work.
I appreciate the effort you you put in to improving life for the PDAphone community. Programming is a dark art to me but I would love to learn. I used to break out in a sweat just with simple dos scripts.

Does anyone know of a today plug-in or some way of making a shortcut to easily access the widescreen feature on the Prophet, as this would be a major convience when surfing webpages?
Do you mean landscape mode (when the screen is horizontal)?
I map screen rotation to the OK hardware button (lower right corner) from settings->buttons.
This way I don't have to leave IE to change orientation and no need for extra software. There is an action button in the middle so who needs extra 'OK' any way?
Hi
I posted a CAB File from the Orange Extended ROM that places an icon on the Today Screen for screen rotation. Just tap it and it rotates the screen from portrait to landscape.
It was supplied by Orange but it has worked for others, try it and see.

Those are both good idea's thanks guys i appricate that !
Hi,
I would like to assign the long press on "Call button" to the Rotate screen option but I would like the landscape to be reverse (to the right) as I am right-handed and I would like the earphones plug to be the opposite way.
1) I created a shortcut with SKtools for a rotation of 270°.
--> the problem is that I needed another shortcut to put it back to portrait mode.
2) I then tried to use the SPB PocketPlus button mapping to "Rotate screen" which works really good as the same shortcut can toggle between portrait and landscape but only rotate screen to default landscape.
I look for a registry edit (maybe in HKLM/system/GDI/Rotation...) or other trick to change the default landscape to reverse landscape so that I can keep the Pocket+ button mapping
I know that AEBPlus is able to do that but I would like to save some RAM and also some money (AEBPlus is shareware)
Thank you for your help.
Try to use "Gyrator 2"... Work perfect on Touch HD. I supose that is fix your problem with screen orientation.

EDIT : rotate manually
Thank you for your advice.
I tried Gyrator2 (which is a really good software). I also tried MagicMobile and ChangeScreen applications but none of them enable me to rotate manually by pressing/holding a button (the call button for example).
My problem with the automatic rotation apps is when I want to answer a phone call (with the phone in my pocket) with the slide to answer of TF3D, the screen rotation mess up with my action...
It makes it difficult for me to answer as the slide area changes place...
The only reason I want to rotate my screen is in the "Programs Explorer" before launching iGO for it to be in landscape mode...
I liked that Tomtom could handle the rotation once the program is on.
It seems that with iGO, we have to rotate before launching the software or it will stay in portrait mode.
AEB+ will do this in its "free" non-registered mode.
I have it on the OK/back button with rotate 90 and then toggle back. It has a full range of rotate angles.
Try it - it is shareware but works almost 100% in "free" mode.
You are right. AEB+ solves my problem (and is a great aplication even the "free" part)
Thank you Cheesy Dave !
Can anybody help me out by telling me what I need to do to get tomtom navigator to rotate to landscape. I prefer not to use any third party apps such as flip-it or Gyrator2.
I know it's all about it to the whitelist in the GSensor reg settings but I'm not entirely sure. Tried a couple of things but not cracked it.
Thanks in advance.
hi i suggest you install one application called "Quick Menu"
that one is very cool to use. And it also has the function you need.
You can rotate the screen manually.(left/right)

Hopefully a remedy for this can be found. Id love to have TomTom in Landscape.
Any of the many rotating apps on this forum will let you rotate TomTom. I've used Gyrator and FlipIt and both did the job. There's also changeScreen, Gsen, and more.
By far the best solution would be to get Gyrator working, but you could use this online tool to create a custom TomTom menu with the rotate button in the menu. Take note that some newer functions cannot be added to these menus.
I personally used AE Button Plus to assign a double tap of Volume Up to Rotate Screen.
I just use changescreen. I also use it to rotate calculator. Its good to install it because it might come in handy in the future when you need to rotate more apps or games. I recommend changescreen for ease of use.
In windows, in Onkolog's Lite you can assign a long-press of the call button (leftmost touch sensitive button) to rotate screen.
Start>Settings>Buttons
I use this to rotate TomTom.
No other 3rd party software added.
I have been having a problem that, when using TomTom in Landscape, I get the Windows title bar showing on top of the TomTom screen. I have had suggestions that this is down to the use of rotation software (I am currently using ChangeScreen, which is great in every other respect).

Pretty much the same here, I used Total Commander to enable the rotation menu in the registry, then assigned it to call button long press.
I got severely fed up of the rotation apps that needed tons of configuration - then still didn't work.
Recently find there are many rotate screen program for HTC model which has a G-sensor bulit in.
Any idea if there is any similar program for X1, that is to rotate the screen by the active application you are runnig.
THx!
you can rotate from inside settings
but x1 don't have a G-sensor so you have
to do it manualy
simply set one of the buttons to 'rotate'
this way all u have to do is press the button, yea, its that easy
start>settings>buttons
I have mapped my left button to "rotate screen" and my right to "alt+tab". I am happy haha.
thanks guys
I am actually using ae button to map my left key to do it. just thinking if there is any software could have intelligent to remember the rotation preference.
