Landscape in Diamond 2?

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.

click the first thread on themes and apps. or just click on my sig (skyler17) and you'll find a few auto rotation software

Change Screen: Another program to autorotate your screen according to the G-sensor. Works even in TF3D. (freeware) ~Thanks Mektah
Also try looking at this post has other great software

rather than installing extra software that has to be constantly running and using memory, just install the g-sensor lists from this post (g-sensor programme lists in cab file), then add additional programmes you want rotated using g-config from this post.

work great gringolian. much thanks bro!

thx
thx very good help

or to add other prgrams use this
set the app running, then open the app you want to rotate and insert stylus and thats it done close both down

Scratch my comment, i was slow on posting others faster then me gave a proper reply already

Rotate screen counter-clockwise

Hi ppz,
Tried to search the following question on the forum, but didn't succeed.
Does anyone know, if possible, to turn the screen counter-clockwise for the fixed landscape apps, particularly the youtube player. You know, so that the volume buttons are on top and the softkeys left.
I rather prefer a registry solution above programs like zensor or gyrator because it's not g-sensor related.
greetz, bobby
Ow yeah, and a happy new jear to all of yah!

Nobody knows? (bump)

Try using a tweak or settings program (like advanced configuration tool 3.3) ?
I thought I had the solution but didn't... sorry I misread the question.

Hi Bobby,
Try ChangeScreen - v2.78.
It works for me.

thnx for the replies.
@ denniske, thnx for the link, looks like a great app, especially the bug fix for the title bar! I'm gonna use this.
But I still expierence probs on youtube with this program. The button layout gets stuck and the movie shrinks to half size or when in full size it falls half out of screen... How are your preferences in that app?
grtz.

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

Thanks but I was thinking more ones which you just tap and it rotates the screen, no need for advance stuff like specific apps, as long as it does manila
