hey guys,
tried to look for the answer but i couldn't maybe you guys can guide me. the htc x7500 has the vueflo software, therefore in the theory it should be able to sense if it is held in landscape of portrait position and should be able to change from these views by changing the position of the device (kind of like the iphone).
is there a way to make this possible? i am sick of manually changing the view from landscape back to portrait everytime i deattach the keyboard.
someone MUST have thought of this already.
looking forward to the answer. thanx

Nope, as for right now VuFlo only works in either PIE or Opera. But your right, it should made available to the system.

the vueflo software is used for the internet browser only, saving you scrolling on a web page manually.

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 guys,
Does anyone know of a way of being able to type sms in landscape mode as a default.
i.e. if i choose to type an sms the phone switches to landscape until it's sent and then flips back to portrait.
I prefer typing in landscape but so far i have had to map the hardware key to rotate the screen and have to press this before typing an sms
Just wondering if there is a more elegant method.
TIA

Hi,
I was wondering if you have found an answer for that. I'm looking to be able to do that too. Please let me know. So far, I was looking into the registry cause I guessed that we just create a key or something and it would work..or maybe not...and I have found two values for the Camera within the registry so I am sure that it would be possible to do that for the SMS and Browser as well.
I will keep on searching and let you know.
Work Around
I know this isn't the ideal way of doing it. But until someone smart enough figures out the registry entry for this idea...you can youse wisbar advanced 3, it has a setting that lets you set certain programs to rotate... hope this helps until someone figures it out!

Thanks I have tried that but I didn't like it. The app took over all my settings and I would prefer just to add or change a reg key then to install another software.
Thanks again and hope to have the perfect solution for that one day...
Remarkable idea!I feel like I will love typing sms in landscape too!
I have searched heaven and hell to find a way to get the D2 running in landscape view, that is for it to switch to landscape view when you rotate the screen. So far I have found apps that allows everything but manilla and its tabs (including home page) run in landscape.
Is there a way to do this?

You can make use of the Topaz drivers itself to do auto-rotation. You do not need to install additional application running in background.
There're some registry editings to be done. Nevertheless, you can use this application to help you enter those into the whitelist. You need to soft-reset after inputting all the applications you'd like to auto rotate.

I tried that, along with changescreen. I still can't bet the tabs screens to rotate. I don't know what I am doing wrong.

Landscape manila for d2 is more annoying then useful, if you tilt the phone past the tilt point either way (portrait or landscape) it will rotate and take at least half a second to change screen, and it enerally takes more to come back to portrait. This makes it difficult to immediately read stuff or accept calls as the screens changing layout and the buttons end up in different places.
Landscape would only be useful on phones like the pro2 and it's previous variants when you need landscape while the keyboards out. Other than that just make your mail programs etc landscape capable.
There are other threads with reg keys and apps to use, just follow those and see if they give you success.
Cheers,
Scott
Graphics from the manila tabs aka TD2 homescreen are not designed for lanfscape view, therefor its like Scott (post #4) sayd, more annoying than usefull.
Thanks a lot guys. I think I see your point. Funny thing is that it was my recently installed S2U app that drove it home. It was annoying as hell when it kept switching to views.
Interesting for Chefs!!
Have you ever noticed that the Album version of the new Roms is very laggy in sliding between the pictures when you turn your phone in landscape mode?
I found 5 min ago a solution when playing with the registry, in which the Album slides smooth in Landscape AND you can use the picture overview in Landscape.
In
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\HTCAlbum]
Edit the "rotate" entry to "0"

thanx for the info im gunna try
this should really of been posted in the blackstone section tho, as it has nada to do with rom development lol
Sry I saw to late that I didn't posted it in "Blackstone Themes, Applications...."
Could a Mod please move the thread?
ur trick works wicked lol
Good
I hope it is usefull for the community
you've stumbled upon a gold nugget mate! great job! and thanks for sharing!!

i think it's useful for chef as it can easily be included in rom instead making us fiddle with the registry
what exactly does this improve? is it sliding between pictures when viewing full screen landscape or when the device is rotated on the photos tab?
if its the first, then it can also be accomplished by removing the entries in the Gsensor whitelist - thats how ive been doing it.
Great find.
Not only does it improve the landscape viewing, but it avoids/solves a bug in the recent HTC albums where you could confuse the sliding sequence when changing the physical position of the HD while continuing to slide.

I don´t see any improvement....maybe someone can upload a video?
I really like this feature to work...!!!
Thks.
Too bad it doestn't work for me. In portrait mode, the pictures slide very smooth. In landscape mode it's still choppy and slow, even with this change in the register and a softreset. I think it has something to do with the g-sensor. Is it possible to totally disable the g-sensor or at least when turning the phone in album..?
I've tried about 6 different roms and they all have this problem, i hope someone can fix this.

It's first
But the difference is, that the picture view (this where all pictures are listed in a grid) could be used in landscape mode furthermore.
With the removing of the whitelist this would be impossible!

The only thing I wish is that there are no more laggy HTCAlbums in new Roms *ggg*

Which version of HTCAlbum do you have? You see the version also in the Registry path were the tweak has to be added.
I tried it with Dutty Holy Grail R0 2.1 And the Album version is 3.0
And I don't have to make a soft reset... wierd...
Great discovery can you do that for the calculator and htc music
MOD EDIT
Moved to General discussion forum
i have noticed that roms with os 6.5.1 has a very fast rotation and fast scrolling in landscape mode both for pictures and music (i just check on chinehe v.2.3)
and the rotation registry value is still "1"
so, maybe the solution for slow rotation and scrolling can be found starting from here + terrorhuhn discovery
a smart guy could find it and share for us

To speed up scrolling through pics in landscape go to HKLM/Software/HTC/HTCScroll and change "velocity_factor". It's set at 10000 and I've changed it to 20000. You might want to set it to 40000 just to see the increase in speed and then back it down from there. This setting will also increase scrolling speed in, among other things, the favorites tab, internet tab, and increase scrolling through albums in the music tab while in landscape. This tweak may very well be the one in HD Tweak, I'm not sure, but whatever the case, you can set it how you like.
Hy there people I would like some help, I got my HTC Blackstone and I have already calibrate it but I don't think the G-Sensor is working. Can anyone help me with this problem, it's necessary to activate anywere?
thanks

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
