I'm looking for something that will rotate the screen when I open up the onscreen keyboard to make the keys bigger. Any ideas?
SPB Mobile Shell has an icon to rotate screen. I do not know if it can help you.
Why not map a button (such as button 5) to rotate the screen ?
map to whatever button you want
rotate screen cw.cab will rotate to landscape with first press, then back to portrait with next press.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The device was designed to work on portrait.. so it will insist on going portrait.
You may ask vjay555 on this forum to write you a simple program that will force your device to stay on landscape. A very good developer.. he makes simple tools like that. He's a mod here.
File name for Execute Rotate Screen ???
Ussually I use from HTC Home, but I will assign at Left Softkey with program that can rotate the screen. I don't know the file name??? Is It in Windows Directory???
Thanks for sharing
Hi,
I would like to assign the long press on "Call button" to the Rotate screen option but I would like the landscape to be reverse (to the right) as I am right-handed and I would like the earphones plug to be the opposite way.
1) I created a shortcut with SKtools for a rotation of 270°.
--> the problem is that I needed another shortcut to put it back to portrait mode.
2) I then tried to use the SPB PocketPlus button mapping to "Rotate screen" which works really good as the same shortcut can toggle between portrait and landscape but only rotate screen to default landscape.
I look for a registry edit (maybe in HKLM/system/GDI/Rotation...) or other trick to change the default landscape to reverse landscape so that I can keep the Pocket+ button mapping
I know that AEBPlus is able to do that but I would like to save some RAM and also some money (AEBPlus is shareware)
Thank you for your help.
Try to use "Gyrator 2"... Work perfect on Touch HD. I supose that is fix your problem with screen orientation.

EDIT : rotate manually
Thank you for your advice.
I tried Gyrator2 (which is a really good software). I also tried MagicMobile and ChangeScreen applications but none of them enable me to rotate manually by pressing/holding a button (the call button for example).
My problem with the automatic rotation apps is when I want to answer a phone call (with the phone in my pocket) with the slide to answer of TF3D, the screen rotation mess up with my action...
It makes it difficult for me to answer as the slide area changes place...
The only reason I want to rotate my screen is in the "Programs Explorer" before launching iGO for it to be in landscape mode...
I liked that Tomtom could handle the rotation once the program is on.
It seems that with iGO, we have to rotate before launching the software or it will stay in portrait mode.
AEB+ will do this in its "free" non-registered mode.
I have it on the OK/back button with rotate 90 and then toggle back. It has a full range of rotate angles.
Try it - it is shareware but works almost 100% in "free" mode.
You are right. AEB+ solves my problem (and is a great aplication even the "free" part)
Thank you Cheesy Dave !
Recently find there are many rotate screen program for HTC model which has a G-sensor bulit in.
Any idea if there is any similar program for X1, that is to rotate the screen by the active application you are runnig.
THx!
you can rotate from inside settings
but x1 don't have a G-sensor so you have
to do it manualy
simply set one of the buttons to 'rotate'
this way all u have to do is press the button, yea, its that easy
start>settings>buttons
I have mapped my left button to "rotate screen" and my right to "alt+tab". I am happy haha.
thanks guys
I am actually using ae button to map my left key to do it. just thinking if there is any software could have intelligent to remember the rotation preference.
Does anyone know where the I can find the application file to rotate the screen from portrait to landscape and vice versa on the HTC Touch?
I am trying to find the exe or ink file so I can add the function to an icon on one of my ifonz pages. The Rotate screen exists on the Settings/System/Screen page but I can't figure out where the file is that it activates.
It has eluded me thus far.
Thanks
This may be what you are looking for.

I use SPB Mobile Shell and it has this functionality built in.
My screen rotates to portrait (and vice versa) when I long hold the camera button.
You can change the settings in Settings > Buttons > camera button (hold) < [rotate]
I hate auto rotate on my Evo4g. Is there any app out there or way to make a gesture rotate the screen? I know there are tons of apps that will put a auto rotate toggle widget on the screen, but I have to hit that before I go into a program I would like to rotate, and the back off again when i am done with that program. Does anyone know of anything that will allow me to manually rotate the screen while in an application? I like how I could just hold down a button for a few seconds on my old windows phone and it would rotate the screen. It seems simple enough, but I can't find anything. It would be nice to hold the menu button on the evo down for a few seconds and have that rotate the screen....
