Anyway to keep phone in Landscape?

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.

Opera closing after flipping!

I hate to waste space and start a new thread .... but searching for this fix isnt working.
Backdrop: I used an Opera tweak located on the Tweaks for HD thread. Did the copying so I can speed up the Opera. .... Okay!
I'm not sure if this is related, but everytime i start Opera then flip it to view/navigate in landscape, it closes/minimizes Opera. Why is that? I had to reset it to make it stop. Once I use Opera and close it out....the problem comes back.
Has anyone experienced this? Is there a fix without hard a reset?
Thanks in advance!
BTW...I got an HD...please ignore the avatar and "Device" below.

I dont have a fix, however I can confirm I have the same issue. Rotating thru 90degrees seemed to start Pocket Informant, causing Opera to minimize. I have also seen it trigger the Volume app, which strangely also rotated 90 degrees?
Im sure its a problem I've caused, tweaking the touchHD with lots of apps (and sometimes removing the tweaks) so Im currently doing a hard reset now I know what tweaks I want to use!

I had this to after changing some settings with 'advanced config'. I reset most of the settings and it stopped doing it, but im not sure which ones fixed the problem.

Well that sounds like a problem easy to reverse engineer then, if you already concluded that changing some settings caused the problem.
@Kenjari: what tweaks did you apply?
@rovex: Can you change back the settings you did in ACT one by one, to find out which one caused the bugging?

I had the same issues; within Opera, watching photo's or playing movies with Coreplayer. I think it's more Gyrator related, because the applications Opera build-in photo viewer and Coreplayer have those functionality as well. Together with Gyrator 2 it can get confused after a while... however it sounds odd, because after a restart it seems to work perfectly, but after a while it comes back again. Just shut-down Gyrator and start it up again will work. Still have to see how to exclude those apps from within Gyrator though...
@Kenjari: you have Gyrator or Gsen installed as well?
GreenFrog

I think it is Gyrator related, but ive removed my copy and it still does it sometimes, so i think something in the registry is messing things up.

I dont have gyrator installed.
Only think I installed and changed was the Ssmpsa change for the Home tab. From the there the problem started. Oh...I made the tweaks; cache size, file cache etc. A while back but it didnt start then.

Just noticed something else, if i open a link from within the RSS reader or the RSS reader is open Operas flipping fails, but if its closed it works.

it's gotta be app related (based on my experience); i did a hard reset reinstall half of the apps i had before and it's working (for now), lol.

Yeah I'm certain its an app or a tweak. The next step is identifying which one so it will stop.

Hi,
I had the same problem, i desactivate all option energy saver in advanced config and it works again. But I don't know which one is the one.
Hope this will be helpfull
Sorry for my english

i have this problem if i install microsoft dot net framework 3.5 compact
for gyrator

same problem here...
I also think it's something with Gyrator 2.
I hope we will find a solution soon.

Same problem here. after soft restart it looks OK. I don't have gyrator. Looks like it is not working after I installed some clock skin.

Same here, gone back to basic build me...hard reset, my money is on gyrator 2 or .net
seems ok now

OK, so far i've only installed after hard reset
sdkcerts
coloured top bar
skype
And i get the flip, lose focus thing too. I guess its not .net 3.5 or gyrator
Was it like that in the original build...hmmm

I have all 3 of those and I think it happened after installing skype. Besides I had to reset it because skype crashed when run for first time.

i removed the colored icon bar and installed the latest version of Opera.exe and OperaL.exe and no more issues with opeara when flipping to landscape.
EDIT: as a test i reinstalled the colored icon bar and (so far) no flipping issues in landscape.

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.

rotate dialer/phone?

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

Important Questions everyone needs to know

1. Can the sense UI be somehow positioned into landscape mode with a .cab?
2. How do you get into the registry? All visible is HKM? no HKLM files found anywhere...
3. How to search for specific threads under one phone on xda.

1. Yes, use attached cab. It will rotate the display when you rotate the phone into portrait. I only know this to be working on the HD2.
2. What registry editor are you using?
3. Navigate to the forums for that model, and any of the subforums there that apply to your question, and then use the "search this forum" button in the top right, immediately above the list of threads.

Thanks ALOT, you dont know how much this helps, also i am using RESCO for registry, but i think i found a youtube video for that. Thanks alot, if i could award you something i would, (if there is, please do tell as well) (like a thumbs up, or +karma, or whatever this site may use if any)

ok so for the landscape cab, do i need a soft reset, and would you happen to know if cookies home screen mod works with the hd2 landscape? also, how do i find this app in the start menu, when i soft reset my phone, nothing happened when i switched my phone to landscape, any ideas?

I'm afraid that I have no idea if this works or not alongside of co0kie's mod. A soft reset after running the cab should be all you needed to get the rotation working, there's no app to run (or icon for it) after that, it just runs in the background.
You can try one more soft-reset (I think mine took 2 to kick in), and I would also go into settings and calibrate your g-sensor if you haven't already.
Also...are you rotating it the right way into landscape? so that the hardware buttons end up to the right of the screen? This cab will only do the rotation in that direction, and back.
I'm afraid the only officially-sanctioned expressions of gratitude here are the ones issued by the treasury...but this small bit of assistance isn't even worth the time it would take, so your words do the job just fine Pay it forward (here at xda, if possible!)

FYI:
It does work with co0kie's mod but it replaces some of the menu items while in landscape. I can definitely live with that, thank you for the awesome app.
