is there anyway to keep the phone in landscape, permenantly (even when I close the keyboard?)
i'd like to know about this aswell for the wizard.
I've never tried it personally, but I saw this:
Start > Settings > System tab > Screen
then choose Landscape
Does this help?
thanks for the reply.
that only works until the keyboard is flipped out again!
there must be a way to stop the OS from flipping when it hears that command.
Hi!
Sorry to dig up a post - i thought I'd rather dig this up, than make a new post .. so that no one has to repeat themselves
ERmm - yes, is there some sort of mod, or way to make your TyTN stay in Landscape mode permanently?
Yes, I go to the system settings and change the Screen rotation to landscape, and it stays that way .. and i slide the keyboard out and it stays that way as well .. but as soon as i slide the keyboard in, the damned thing decides to get back into portrait .. sigh .. anyhelp?

Yeah, I've made a hack for this. I'll release it shortly.

Hey V, can you PM or IM me when you get a chance. Thanks
i launcher allows you to rotate screen pemanantly along with the other thousands of things it does!!
futuresbright: does ilauncher maintain the orientation when you open and close the keyboard?
V
you can edit the registy just serch you reg for landscape and portrat copy the landscape ones and past them over the portrat one but why would you want to do this?
This is a good option to have, I think it will be very useful for people who use the keyboard a lot.
ill try and find the exact keys and values for you to change but if you want to change back youl have to edit the reg or hard reset
sorry posted reply away from device last night.forget what I said about ilauncher it does revert back to portrait once keyboard is opened and closed.sorry.
n00b question:
How does one regedit on a PPC?!?!
Thanks for the answers guys! I just prefer the landscape orientation, and find it a pain in the arse that it reverts back to portrait when i open and close the keyboard.

I needed this feature also on my Universal. I am using it only as car navigation. So I used a magnet which I glued on the back of the car holder (brodit) thus everytime I put the Universal in the cradle (slide it in from the side) the screen automatically rotates to landscape.
i've been looking at the registry and am unable to find what to change.
I have a solution to this, but am working on a more elegant solution. I didn't look for a way through the registry.
Did javaoverride2003's suggestion above work?
V
couldn't try javaoveride's suggestion - didn't know what keys and such to play with .. hum ..

Hi Vijay, - Any news on this app to stop the autorotation? Much appreciated.
Yes, VJUzumaki is pretty much finished in its current form, but I didn't release yet because I was curious if the registry editing method mentioned worked, in which case there's no need for it.
If the registry method doesn't work, I'll release it.

Hi all, there's a way to automatically change the screen orientation when i open a determined program?
I'm not asking something like gravity sensor, only an automatic way to rotate the screen when lauching a program, i think there may be a program wich can do that, but i can't find it...
Does anyone know something about it?
Thanks and excuse me for my bad english.
yes, i saw that function in tess + sp, its working with a mortscript for rotating the screen before running the program and geting it back to normal after the program finishes.
U can also use Wisbar Advanced Desktop (WAD) its a great soft with some many customizations !
Thanks!
I used MortScript, WAD is not free as i can see, and i need only the rotation, not the "shell" :\
i was wondering anyone could help me. when i first got my htc HD, the messaging keyboard rotate automatic. somehow when i reinstall the original-rom due for some reason, the auto rotate was gone. anyone could help me get back the original setting?
Did you buy the phone new? As far as I know, the official HTC ROM never had screen rotation in it for the keyboard.
There are loads of different programmes you can install to allow you to rotate the keyboard:
Gyrator
Flipit
to name but two...
no rotation for stock !
weird or maybe my memory was too bad. anyway i have found a screen rotating soft which was quite good compare to the rest i have tried.
changescreen_inst.
its somewhere on the forum. deleted the icon using explorer from startmenu because this software enable auto startup. now it looks so original.
how ever found it slightly lag on TF3D.
Like the title says, what I'm looking for is some way to disable rotation for Manila 2.5/2.6 (Leo). But this means all kinds of rotation, be it via g-sensor or keyboard slide-out/slide-in.
But I want this for only manila nothing else. Everything else should be able to rotate like normal.
Example : I'm at the home screen and slide the keyboard out. This should still keep the manila in portrait.
Example 2 : I'm in messaging and have the device in landscape, either by sliding the keyboard out or otherwise. Now I press the home button to return to the home screen, without sliding the keyboard back in (to enable portrait mode). The device should now auto-rotate and go back into portrait mode for Manila automatically, so it doesn't mess up.
Ive done a lot of searching but Ive come across no such thing. Does any one have any idea or solutions? All help is appreciated.
No clue whether this will work or not....
I compared the manila reg entries for the AT&T Pure (Topaz) vs. the Tilt2 (Rhodium). And for the Tilt2 there are only 2 extra lines in the .reg:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila]
"EnableLandscape"="true"
"ListViewHeight72"=dword:1
So you can try to set the EnableLandscape="false" and see if that works.

Hmm, this helped. But not entirely. If Im in landscape in some other program and go back to the home back in now rotates back to portrait. But if I slide out the keyboard when already "home", then it glitches.
Anyway to stop it from doing that?
Try playing with the values in HKLM\System\GDI\Rotation\
Those should deal with screen rotation for the whole device. Maybe someone out there with a device with no landscape support what so ever, can give their values from this directory for what you want.
hi guys,
apologies if this has been explained elsewhere but i could not find it..
i would like to know if it is possible to change the phone and/or contacts section into landscape mode..
i recently got igo8 working in landscape mode and when i go to the phone menu with in the prog the phone menu appears in portrait.
i have tried bsbtweaks but had no luck..
any help on this would be greatly appreciated
thanks!
I have the exact same problem (on the xperia x1 running 826x rom w/ rhodium dialer), so does every one else and there is no solution to be found.
When I'm in Landscape, and start the phone app / dialer, the screen switches to portrait and start the dialer. I can get it back to landscape by physically 1/2 closing the slider and letting go.
It's bs
