Hello,
I'd like to use my Ameo with "vertical" screen when I'm travelling and horizontal when Keyboard is attached in the office.
However, I have to switch back to vertical always manually once the keyboard was attached.
Is there a possibility to have the screen automatically always vertical without keyboard and horizontal when keyboard is attached ?

Im looking for a similar functionaltiy.
Me to, this would be so useful.
you don't have to do it automatically, it is easy to switch the comm manager physical button to the rotate screen functionality- every time you touch the button the screen rotates - fantastic
i think the point was though that we use the device in portrait and only when we attach the keyboard it flips, and in a ideal world when we remove the keybaord we wanted it to go back to portrait as that is what we always use. pressing a button is easy but not quite prefect.
As an alternative to using the physical button (4 modes of rotation, the original only has 3 modes):

What does this CAB do? Would you mind posting a screenshot if possible?
Basically it's a screen rotator (just like the one that comes built-in with our Athena). The difference is that you have a better control of setting its behaviour through the Settings tab).
With the built-in rotator, I have to tap it twice to revert back to my potrait orientation from landscape. With this, I only has to tap it once (set it to Clockwise).

or you can just use iLuncher, it does exactly the same, it's a built in shortcut for iLuncher. one click for rotate, and one click to rotate back.
AWESOME! and thanks.

Thanks for the utility. This is EXACTLY what I was looking for...well not exactly, would be nice if it would go to Portrait when the keyboard is detached and back when it's reattached...but after further consideration it would be annoying if it did it automatically because i don't always want this to happen. Took me a little while to find the 'Advanced/Icon Settings' area...lack of sleep. I was looking for something that would go between Portrait and Landscape without rotating all the way around. I've set it up for "Right or Portrait" and this is exactly what I wanted, a type of toggle between the two modes. Thanks for posting this for us.
I'm lousy at explaining the way thing works. But I'm very happy to know you understand after trying the program yourself. A little apps with big function for people who like to switch back to potrait orientation.

you're my hero. thx.
i've been looking all over the net to find out how to get screen rotate into my advantages' taskbar (nothing worked, no tweaks, nothing).
works perfectly now. thx so much.
the thing that would make my taskbar perfect is a way to get the battery symbol INCLUDING link to the battery settings in it.
anyone an idea? i tried several tweaks, one worked but only showed the icon without any link. the others didn't work at all, dunno why.
You can tie this to a hardware button
This has been used on this forum for over 2 years. Someone may find it useful. Not "automatic" like asked for.
Install the cab file from your device and go into settings and set as one of the start menu items and 2 clicks give you a rotation and back, not round in circles like stock.
When you bind to a hardware button, one click rotates, another returns

Thanks. At last I can assign screen rotation to my hardware button. Good one to accompany the one I uploaded.

bug report...
Found a bug. On my Advantage, the camera stopped working in Landscape mode. May or may not be attributed to the screen rotate cab. A simple fix is to go to Portrait mode and start the camera from there. It could also be related to the VGA software but not sure. I'm glad I found a quick and easy work around because I didn't feel like hard resetting yet again.
Update: Found a work around. I wasn't going to hard reset. While playing around I noticed that if I switched to portrait mode and opened the camera, it would come up properly. Just won't do it if I try to open the camera while in landscape. Weird bug but I can live with it.

What exactly is your definition of "crazy"?
It may just need realigning - especially if it's been rough-handled, dropped or is an "older" model.
Go to settings->system->align screen and follow the prompts.
If it keeps going crazy - see this wiki page for a fix.
If you *seriously* need to disable your touch screen (which I seriously don't recommend) then just go to the align screen and keep tapping in the left hand corner when it asks you to tap elsewhere Not an official "disable" but will have the same effect
broken
My touchscreen is broken on my PDA running Windows mobile six and I'd like to use the wheel to control the mouse.
It's not the screen alignment issue. Does anyone know how to enable the wheel to control the mouse?

Hi!
I just got the HTC Touch HD a couple of days ago.
Just wondering how to make the screen rotate on the HTC Touch HD in landscape mode.
Can anyone guide me on how to get the screen to rotate please?
download gyrator 2
also, use the search
Get a registry editor, then: HKLM - System - GDI - Rotation - HideOrientationUI (change from 1 to 0)
And yes.....you the search function.....it´s all been discussed before.......like here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=448142
Hi,
Great information, thank you very much ! I have successfully 'activated' this extra option with the use of Total Commander's built-in Registry Editor (another excellent find on this site ).
It is a great way to get a feel for what programms look like in Landscape Mode, since I haven't (yet) installed any Auto-Rotate programms.
Now I'd like to find a way to make accessing this Setting easier/faster because everytime you go back to a TouchFlo 3D screen the Device changes back to Portrait-mode. Back to browsing the forum; am getting my HD set-up the way I like it...one step at a time...

I understand popular alternatives are Gyrator 2 or Mobile Magic
I myself would like to be able to rotate the screen manually only. After editing the Registry as per the above description this is now possible on my Touch HD.
This however takes a lot of clicks so I hope to find a way to assign this option to either a Start Menu Shortcut or a long-press Hotkey. I think I stumbled across a post regarding this issue in one of my many hours reading through this forum and its Wiki. I didn't pay much attention to it at the time so I'll have to try and find that information again...

So why don´t you do just that? Assign the rotation to the long-press-answer-key. That´s what I´ve done from day one....

I found this little utility, it opens a pop-up window that rotates the screen and gives you the option of which position you want. I have used AEPlus button mapper to assign it to the "volume up" button. It works great, but the only thing is....don't try to rotate the TouchFlo3d windows, it doesn't like that at all. I think that is why the HD doesn't auto-rotate yet, TF3d can't take it. Start the app that you want to use, then activate the "Screen Rotate" utility.

Because I didn't know one COULD do that Hahaha... Thanks so much for pointing this out to me I did it right away and it works great...even with TouchFlo !
Was this option available in Key Assigment right away or only after the registry was altered as described above

yeah, thanks, that's where I got it from in the end, but it took until th 9th google search result to find that website and thus a working download location! That's rediculous for a freeware application!
Amusing thing is, I went to assign this to a button using AE Button Plus, and it turns out there's already an option in that program to assign buttons to "rotate screen" and "rotate screen clockwize" (american-sic) missed it before due to not looking for it specifically at the time!
Which screens are TF3d?
Is that the home screen (when tf3d is enabled)?
The screen doesnt remain in landscape mode.
After accessing the call menu it goes back to portrait mode.

I can get the phone screen to go landscape with the rotate app in AEBplus, but if I'm in landscape in another app and switch to the phone app, it goes back to portrait. Maybe the problem is the HTC phone screen, the generic WM probably works ok.
Matterhorn,
Actually I turned off TF3D from the Home menu in settings.
It still resets to portrait after accessing phone menu.

Hey,
What does it do?
Disables "Align Screen"
Motive:
While playing games with my HTC Mogul I've stumbled upon an annoying thing, whenever you press the middle D-PAD button + Message Button, the "align screen" window pops up and won't go away until you complete the alignment process. This sucks considering I never really need to align my screen and I do need those buttons to play comfortably.
Anyhow, I couldn't find any other working solutions so I coded it myself.
I used some pretty advanced hooking techniques and I'm pretty sure this will work on every device with no tailoring. I'd appreciate any feedback stating what device you tested it on.
Instructions:
1. Install the cab.
2. Run "disCali" form Start Menu > Programs, this will disable the align screen function from your entire device until soft-rest (even from the control panel).
3. Run it again and it will restore everything back to normal.
hope you'll find this useful,
amit
Thank you thank you thank you testing right now will let you know
nice app ..
create an empty file naming welcome.not and copy to your SD card. and insert it in your phone it should stop screen align

This app has nothing to do with preventing the after-boot welcome "align screen", it's meant to prevent the hot-key "align screen" pop up during every day use of the device.

OOOps my bad
thought you wanted to stop the align screen... as in my device the only time i get align screen is after hard reset....
keep up the good work dude......
i really need a disCali version which doesnt show the message to call it at startup. or one which only shows the "re-enabled" message, but did not inform about disabling.
If you could make my wish come true, i would be really thankful!
thanks anyway for this useful tool!
Andreas
Thank you!
This annoyance is now finally gone.
Too many times I've pulled my phone out of my pocket with an "align screen" staring at me.
Maybe with normal locking this can't happen but I'm using S2U2.
very useful!
thanks amp3r!
now i can assign the volume buttons and center dpad button in Final Burn on my Opal and play it without the annoying Align Screen.

thanks for this beautiful innovation.........u actually went to think Outside the Box to achieve this..........I am stucked in here....I have a Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 which refuses to align screen after a hard reset.How do i implement this solution of urs to try and see if it would sove the problem??I have tried the remote pingy thing,it bypasses the Align screen but my fone becomes useless.....Nothing on the screen works including the key board...I presive this would be a better solution provided the Aligning of the screen is taken care of in the File you have written and uploaded
Managed to mess up my screen a little bit and now when I did a hard reset couldn't pass the align screen step. Finally after some research I managed to skip it.
Now when I try to align my screen using MyMobiler I cannot manage to move the cursor target on my desktop computer so I can align the screen from there. I tried to double-click the target cursor, drag it, etc ...nothing works. What am I doing wrong ? or it cannot be calibrated with MyMobiler ?
PLEASE HELP, noobie !
THANKS !

If you managed to skip the calibration screen, then just skip it then start using MyMobiler. Will that work?

Yes taping the screen will be all messed up, but if you use MyMobiler it shouldn't need to be calibrated. In theory I think thats how it should work, but iv never tried.
