When I enable clear type in landscape mode by editing the registery :
Changing the value of HKLM\System\GDI\ClearTypeSettings\OffOnRotation from 1 to 0 it works BUT only for a while, then it reverts back to 0 and
I don't have clear type when I pull out the keyboard. Does anyone know how to make it stay? (it worked in the wizard without any problems)
Thanks.

I use nScriptm freeware from www.s-k-tools.com and a simple script. I made a shortcut in the startup folder to run this script w/o showing the console window.
BTW the same script sets PIE cache size to 4096MB for me - a value that is reset every boot as well.
Easy peasy...why make things harder
Download TwkCL from here...
http://www.tweaks2k2.com/portal/staticpages/index.php?page=2005022517002183
or if you can't just searchfor it.
Place it in your Windows - Startup folder.
Select it to run it, nothing will happen but it HAS ben enabled.
Then you simply soft-reset your device.
Et Voila! You have Cleartype always enabled in landscape mode.
It wouldnt work properly anyway... MS Cleartype counts on horizontal orientation of R-G-B triplet in LCD matrix, it can not do "vertical subpixel rendering", only horizontal.
So if you forcefully enable it in landscape, it would smooth text in perpendicular direction, making it more blurry instead of actual resolution enhancement.
Actually it works perfectly...the text looks EXACTLY the same either way.
Been using it ever since I had my JAM.
It doesnt. Surely, you see the difference, but only in Portrait it actually works as intended. In Landscape you get same result youll get if you grab a screenshot from Cleartype text and rotate it - if you'll read how cleartype actually works, you'll understand that this would obliterate the main idea of it.
Even MS said that numerous times. The only advantage you get in landscape is "smoother" fonts, but that came with drawback of reduced sharpness and also more visible "color outlines" on letters (while in portrait when cleartype works as intended sharpness is not reduced and color outlines is a lot less visible).
Read this article - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cleartype
It would help you to undestand the mechanics of it.
I actually found the answer to my own question. For the TyTN, you have to change HKLM\System\GDI\ClearTypeSettings\ROTATION\LandscapeMode from 1 to 0 and it'll stay. It works. No need to load any programs in the startup folder.
Ken
under gdi?
I can't find it, there's cleartypesetting and rotation, not rotation undercleartype.
Please clarify
Actually, don't you mean change the HKLM/System/GDI/ClearTypeSettings/ROTATION value from 0 to 1? ClearType will be on in landscape mode then.
@Ingvarr: you are correct but it still looks better when ClearType is enabled IMO

I guess its up to personal preferences... Iam very color sensitive, I guess thats why I cant bear visible color smudges at fonts edges in landscape
I've just used Magic SS to take screenshots of each and it looks the same even after a side by side zoomed in comparison down to the last pixel.
It looks the same to me. Maybe I'm losing it.

Hi, does this actually stay for you?, I had that set awhile back, and it would revert to the oem settings after a few soft resets or shutdowns.
I also like cleatype in landscape on, I do understand why its off by default, but I guess its really up to ones own prefrences, I changed the system font, and the cleartype makes the font look much better, It could possibly be that I need to up the font size.
Just a tip..if anyone decides to play with the system font, put the font in your windows directory, not the fonts folder, maybe everyne else already knew this, but I used the fonts folder at first...and it worked, but caused glitches.
Sorry to ramble off topic for a bit.
No, I do mean change the value from 1 to 0
If it is at 1, Clear Type would not be enabled in Landscape mode
If it is at 0, Clear Type WOULD be ENABLED in Lanscape mode

This doesn't work for me.
At first, I made the new key as kittiyut instructed because there was no key in defalut:
HKLM/System/GDI/ClearTypeSettings/ROTATION/LandscapeMode and set its value to 1
But this didn't work anything.
And then, I changed registries as follows and it seems OK before I soft-reset with stylus.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\ClearTypeSettings]
"OffOnRotation"=dword:00000000
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\ROTATION]
"LandscapeMode"=dword:00000000
But after stylus reset, OffOnRotation=1 comes alive again.
I think TwkCL is the only solution for Hermes now.

Well, thats exactly what is wrong - you see, you take screenshots, that doesnt capture actual micro-lamp layout on your LCD screen - and this is what ClearType uses to actually _enhance_ resolution. To correctly see it, you should take _photos_ of screen
Read the Wikipedia page, you'll understand it It it would work properly, landscape one would be different from portrait - in landscape LCD triplets go in "vertical" way relatively to the text, while in portrait they go in horizontal way relatively to the text.

the correct tweak is HKLM/System/GDI /ClearTypeSettings and setting the onoffrotatation dword from 1 to 0
I myself just realized after your post that the key people had been changin doesn't exist, and it hadn't been mentioned to create one...no wonder people were sayin they couldn't find it, and it will revert back to 1 after a few resets anyhow, like you mentioned.
After much gnashing of teeth and fudging around with registry settings, I agree that TwkCL in startup seems to be the only way to get ClearType in landscape mode currently....
But none of these solutions does not work with AKU 3.3...
Edit: Works, works,... Need to
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \System\GDI\ROTATION] "LandscapeMode"=dword :00000000
and copy TwkCL to startup.
Not sure where to post this so I created a thread.
Forgive me if this is not correct.
Playing wiht the registry I found the key HLM->System->GDI->Rotation which has a HideOrientationUI attribute. Set it to 0 and the standard screen rotation option will appear in the control panel
great find !!!
thats great news findinf that..is it possible to set soft key to rotate when required ?
thanks again for that !!

It gives you an extra option in Control Panel that lets you select if the display is Landscape or Portrait.

You can use Gyrator or GSen to do that
Yes, this is not automatic it just re-enable the standard screen panel to manually select orientation.

please advise, how, would love to be able to work on documents etc in landscape (auto switch) mode if possible.
Peter.
As apd said for the automatic rotation you can use Gyrator or GSen. Otherwise with this you can start your app and then manually rotate the screen from the control panel.
just tried this and it says "access denied" when i edit the value data and change the 1 to 0
am i missing something?
Steve
used resco regedit ... works!
wow. This is really nice. Thanks! now I don't need the gyrator!
I can find nothing new after manipulating the registry.
Where can i exactly find the option in control panel?
In the Screen menu. If you still can't see the option, try a soft reset.
excellent find. thnx for sharing!
any program to change that or a cab file ??
thanks
Ill try this on the diamond to see if it works.
I wish I could try it with the demo phone @ the store (touch HD) before buying it.
I tried the registry edit on the demo Touch HD at the store.
The problem is that it keeps reverting back to portrait mode after accessing the phone menu.
So it will remain perfectly in landscape mode till I try to enter a phone number.
The phone menu is vertical, then it remains vertical.
Any info?
thanks.

Whenever I slide the keyboard out, let's say to type in some search terms, the app doesn't seem to have a UI associated in landscape. Can anyone help? I've tried some of the fixes, including Elite YouTube Repair and the WVGA install. Anyone care to post the landscape files for me?
Check out the screenshot if you're curious...
I had the same issue. Make sure if you have a gyro app, that makes the screen rotate lists youtube as an exception. It is not neccessary to have the landscape in the youtube app, as by default it runs on fulllscreen landscape mode. so disable the landscape and u r good.
did you download the youtube app? there was one youtube app that messed up in landscape mode and its hard to uninstall ....... i fixed it by hard reset then goto your windows folder theres a youtube hidden in there just copy into your start menu programs folder

Excuse the silly question but is there a way to put the HD2 in landscape mode permanently? I'm using BsB tweaks but I really hate it when Opera rotates back to portrait and jumps back to the top of the web page every so often. Surely there must be a permanent landscape mode like there was in all previous WM versions?
phone call screen
the worst thingie is when it is landscape mode and u receive or make call..the phone call answearing screen is in portrait mode...and never rotates to landscape.have tried bsb tweaks = no change! must get phone on portrait and then get to landscape to have phone screen on landscape mode. it changes to landscape mode but not automaticly.
so is there any way to make thios to work?
any solutions?...or still noone interested about this issue?
You can disable the phone canvas and use the WM default one or install your own, like PhoneEx.
I would also like to have this option in my HD2. it would be perfect for the time spent in car...
Use a ROM with a Sense version that works in landscape and disable the HTC dialer.
landscape
Change the reg. key
HKLM\System\GDI\Rotation\HideOrientationUI" from "1" to "0"
Then you see in Settings > Screen a radio-buttion for
choosing the format.
But no garanty for nothing with reg.-keys.
eshd
....or use Gyrator which will rotate the phone canvas and anything else.

Yeah that seems to be the missing one. Unfortunately it is rotated back by just any screen that doesn't support landscape like the quicklist (=long press power button) and even WM's today screen

Gyrator works fine but that's not what I want. I don't like autorotation and WM should be able to stay in the orientation you tell it to. The problem with autorotation is when viewing a web page while lying down on my side, it flips the HD2 to portrait while I would like it to stay in landscape.
I told you what to do. Try it.
Attached is the .cab to disable HTC's phone canvas. Now you need a ROM with a Sense version that supports landscape (1922, maybe also 2012) and, if you want, you can install another dialer software, like Iconsoft PhoneEx.
Additionally, you can install an application to rotate the screen manually, like this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=347705
That's how I use my HD2 all the time, so I know it works and gets you full landscape, without ever rotating back.
It 'll probably come to installing a custom rom. Haven't done that on this phone yet and I think it's a bad thing that doing that would be necessary. Even more because I know that every unwilling application could just rotate it back. It should be possible to apply the same tweaks the custom landscape rom cooks use on the standard rom, shouldn't it?
No, there is no way to have the landscape enabled Sense version without a custom ROM.

Which custom ROM will make HD2 in permanent landscape (i.e. untill you tell again it to be in portrait) for all and each application which autorotates (some even without physically rotating HD2 like Phone ...)? This does matter a lot for me to get Redfly Mobile Companion working smoothly with HD2. I have applied some background tweaks like HDWall and it made screen in hi-res like it is RealWVGA for HD2 much better to view and get more information on screen, but I am really bugged by this auto-rotate featute of HD2. I have enabled rotation, assigned a button even than it flips to portrait mode whenever I connect Redfly so basically on Redfly's 800x480 landscape screen, I get a 480x800 screen scaled/stretced to 800x480! How weird it is! And when I play video on HTC Album or WMP in full screen it gets to full screen in portrait mode and weirdest it looks! I want this auto-rotation fancy to be stopped and for ever unde user control so once HD2 is put in landscape mode (left/right handed) evrey application follows the set landscape orientation come what may. No more auto-rotate, not even with phone put inro landscape or portrait. So three things required,
(1) Rotation disabled on phone's physical orientation. Let phone be in protrait or landsape mode physically but ONCE disabled screen will not rotate with phone.
(2) Other application which change to portrait mode automatically whatever the phone's physically orientation is (like by default portrait Phone, long preess power button, YouTube etc..) will stop this behaviour and will be forced to phone's assigned or set screen mode. So if phone is set in landscape, no matter what application or phone's physicall orientation be, all such unconrtolled applications will come under full control and will be forced to follow set orientation mode, i.e. landscape if it is set.
(3) Setting of mode in LS or Portrait and left.right hand. Once selected phone stays in that untill it is changed again bypassing all HTC SENSE/MANILA/G-SENSOR and all that stuff.
Anyone please help.
PS. HDWalls v 1.29b from HD Walls v 1.27b enabled landscape on Manila v 2012 and WM 6.5 and have options to creat custom backgrounds, so this does anable landscape in Manila once required Manila patch (V 1.22 or v 1.3) is applied, so it gets Manila in landscape but above auto-rotation still remains, it is not able to put device in permanent landscape mode for all and each application.
Hi all,
I installed an application on the HTC but I have a problem with the resolution. To fix it I need to rotate the screen to work horizontally, the HTC has a few settings to change the resolution or to rotate the screen manually?
Thanks,
Carlos
Re
You can try change screen or gyrator.
Change screen works well for me.
i also use changescreen, but especially at the beginning it caused some problems. now i am using it just to fix the "service" screen (batt. status, new events etc) into vertical position (this screen also caused problems [without changescreen] in combination using messaging service in horizontal postition).
apps id like to rotate, are rotated by bsb tweaks (but watch out, bsb tweaks may cause problems with ur camera!)

Would this also allow me to rotate Office apps (Word / Excel / OneNote) so that the larger landscape keyboard comes into use?
Yes it do,
Personaly I used change screen on Diamond, but I prefer BSB tweaks 1.6 on mini, especially because it support "pinch & zoom" too and some other tweaks.
BSB Tweaks
I also tried BSB Tweaks 1.6, but as written in the previous post, the camera didn't work after the installation.

@koengam,
Ok, but only if we use BSB to rotate the camera or I am wrong ?
it doesnt make problems with the rotation of your camera, but with filesize, resolution, bitrate and in the worst case teh cam won't record the visual part, only the sound.
i just mentioned in case you will use it. for this issue you may read the thread about this cam-topic.
Many thank, but actually, it still continue to work well.
