[Q] Is it possible to make the phone stay in a fixed orientation?

As the titlequestion says, is it possible? I want my X1 to stay in landscapemode, AT ALL TIMES.
Registry, hack or impossible? All answers accepted

Um... I won't be of much help here, because I don't know how it was done, but i heard it was possible. So keep searching .

Start->Settings->System(Tab)->Screen->General(Tab) Screen Orientation Portrait/Landscape Dunno if permanent until you change it.

Yes, it's possible using mortscript. Then one would wonder, why would you want that?

Easy thing:
Get Schaps Advanced Config tool. Go to the setting where you can set the display orientation. Set 270 degrees to "True", 0, 90, 180 to "False".
The slideout will no longer rotate back to portrait now.
Keep in mind that other tools (AEButton, QuickMenu) can still rotate the screen if they want.

Scenario: I type in an adress in Opera, and slide in the keyboard; - the phone changes orientation (to my irritation). I have several other scenarios that (certainly) only annoy me..

You've been very helpful, and I thank you The ultimate would of course be to find a registrysetting that cancels the whole orientationchangethingy, but this will absolutely help.
... X1 is really a device for me. by now I have changed EVERYTHING to my liking, even this

And i want to add that you can asign a button to do that, i mean one of the to button in config, the soft button the ones that we used to hard reset phone...

Have done so. Doesn't work in for instance opera

how to disable screen turning off during calls?

Can you help me?
I have tried " Duttys Disable Sleep in Call " but it doesn't work.
I have also tried to modify:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL
EnableFastDormantDisplayDuringCall=0
and:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Phone
Sleep=0
nothing to be done: it keeps on not working!
do you have some suggestion?
I apologize me for mine bad English and I in advance thank you

Hello, personally I didn't try to solve this as I do like the behavior as it is. But this topic was discussed here in Jade (same chipset and TF2D) forums and here is some tip too.
All registry hacks & Advanced Config tricks for keeping the screen on while a call is in progress do not apply to the Jade/3G.
However, there is a solution to overcome this annoying feature:
install Touch InCall Screen Tweak, and set the options "Ignore first screen off" and "Always On" in the options.

It looks like there is no confirmed solution for our devices yet though. (I know I didn't help too much this way.)

koilos: Why do you want to do that? I think, that disabling screen while calling is quite good feature, because I don't want to perform some operations with my ear . And if you want to do some operations, you can always short press power button to enable it.
Anyway, there are some interesting options, you can play with on your own risk, like
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL -> BatteryTimeoutInCall (default: 5)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL -> BatteryTimeoutSuspendInCall (default: 5)
I didn't look at that, because I didn't have time now. Number should be time in seconds (my device's display goes black 5 seconds after call connects). Maybe it will need restart after change. Maybe it will do something else.

I have tried to modify the keys that you have recommended me ( planned value 60 ) , the display keeps on going off after 5 seconds.
I have obviously effected the soft reset.
Thanks however for the kind answer, if I had to find the solution it will be' my care to post it

[Jan-10]: [App] [G-Sensor] [Brand New] The XSense v1.2 Final

Credits:
Foremost, let us all acknowledge Koushik for his brilliant "Sensors" library upon which most if not all non-HTC apps that use the G-Sensor, Light-Sensor, and Navi-Sensor are built, simply ingenious. Moreover, I would like to recognize No2chem for the NeuLed2 library which is an equally exquisite peace of code that allows access to the Diamond/Pro Leds. Without those two guys, accessing these advance interfaces on the diamond/pro would be inapproachable at best.
Reason: HTC gave these phones lots of sensors, lets give them.."Sense".
......... EXTRA-Sense ...........
* Hopefully an innovaton, though mostly an integration of RANDOM but needful features...
Features:
1. Courtesy Profiles:
- Set Volume Profiles to activate on Face-Down & Face-UP events. Choose from: None, Silent, Normal, and Vibrate. You can also choose to suspend the Phone when its facing down.
2. Notifications-Sense:
- IF there is/are any outstanding notification(s), the device will vibrate whenever you move it - at customizable intervals: Missed Call(s), Voice Mail, and SMS.
3. Stylus-Sense:- When the Stylus is in/out: Will play sound + Blink the Back button's light.
- When the Stylus is out and the device is moved: Device will vibrate faintly + blink the Back button's light to REMIND you that the Stylus has not been placed back in. This goes on UNTIL the Stylus is placed where it should be.
* Uses "in.wav" & "out.wav" files in the \XSense\ Dir; you can use whatever wave files for this. OR, use the UI to select whichever wave files you want!
4. General Settings:
- Polling Interval: From 200 to 3000 Miliseconds. This determines the rate at which the G-Sensor is polled. Lower values give higher response times and fluid operation at the cost of battery life & CPU utilization.
- Flash Navi Lights: Will blink button lights to notify you of Profile changes and Stylus In/Out.
- Vibrate on Events: Will induce very subtle vibrations to notify you of Notifications and Profile changes.
- Suspend when UP-Side-Down: ???
- Light Navi Button When Suspended: Will do just that when the Light Sensor senses Dim or Dark conditions. This is an independent setting that turns ON the Navi button's light at suspend time, and OFF at Resume time (this is Event Driven, so no polling is involved). This feature really helps if, like me, you want to see where the damn thing is in the dark - before you launch it against the floor.
5. Installs to "\Program Files\XSense", and Creates 2 shortcuts:
"Start Menu\Programs\XSense" and "Startup\XSenseSvc".
Program Settings are saved to the Registry at "HKCU\Software\XSense\".
Use of System Resources:
1. Diskspace: 162 KB RAM footprint: 374-535 KB Battery: NOT observed.
2. CPU Usage: %0.29 Average. Spikes for 2 seconds to %2.7 - %8.5.
3. Battery Impact: Neligeable if at all!
* Indicated CPU usage occurs ONLY when there is an EVENT (posture changed, stylus in/out Sounds playing,
etc)
- Vibration: The way I like it is in waves of 200 miliseconds length! I generally hate vibrations, so if you want it at 201 ms. you're welcome to make your own program and exercise your personal taste.
- This prgram Registers Event Handlers for: "G-Sensor", "Incoming Call", "Phone Call in Progress", "Stylus in/out", and Power Manager events. DO NOT move it to Internal Storage, you have been warned.
Requirements:
.NET 3.5 + HTC device with GSensor & Light Sensor.
Compatibility:
Specifically designed for Diamond & Raphael, but will work fine on HD/Rhodium/Topaz/HD2 etc...
Bugs/Limitations:
Knock yourself out...
Release Notes:
- This is the LAST revision/release/app I make; programming too much work
- Download & Install the CAB
- Run the XSense from your Start Menu\Programs, customize to taste, and enjoy!
Change Log:
- Brand New UI: VERY "finger friendly" this should be especially useful if you have a WVGA Device
i.e. HD/Rhodium/Topaz/HD2 etc...
- Revised entire code for existing & potential bugs, and Performance
tweaked to death.
- Removed various functions (auto speakerphone, car-kit options, etc...). Use "Touch InCall Screen Tweak" for these,
its handles Phone/Speaker brilliantly!
- Shortcut added to Startup for automatic launch after reboot.
- Shortcut with a nice icon added to Start Menu (Credit to VetVito).
- General Tab:
- Navi Button will only light up if the device is in a dark place, i.e. You will
always see where your phone is (before you trash it against the wall).
- Stylus Tab:
- UI elements to select & set sounds for Stylus-in/out events.

shirreer,
Very Nice!
May I suggest if we could use a "Shake" motion to change the gesture profile?
What I want to do is...Slient mode when face down and shake for wake up.

Thanks!
Let´s give it a try.
And guys please don´t forget to vote for Rhodium!

Interesting suggestion, mate; however, the battery won't take it :s I thought of it several times over and eventually settled for the overall performance. Cheer up tho, 2 newsworthy items: WM7 will have the functionality natively + there is an app that does exactly this - its in the HD2 section if you're game enough to try it
Cheers & Enjoy

Every time I soft reset (backup app does this every night) it "loads" (top bar) even when I'd unloaded it. Would be nice if it remembered the setting I've selected

so we install this on our storage card??

Great work.
One thing I would like to remark:
The phone goes to vibration as I've set it when I turn it upside down.
However, when I turn it up again, it doesn't go back to normal unless I press one of the hard key buttons and "wake" it up.
Is this to save the battery life? If so I fully understand. I don't know if there is a solution where battery life is not affected and this can be solved.

Well,probably it is possible to add a battery icon,but I have to contact developer of this program. I think that the upgraded version of this program is currently in stage of development,so we will see.
We just need some more patience. And there will always be some tweak that we will need.

this is one of my favorite apps- easiest in call recording option ive ever found! thank u sooo much-

I'm using TNTMod and I don't need these buttons because there already at the top of the screen.

would a value of 255 (ff) not do it? at least make then incredible unresonsive or?
i will check the kernel registers if we got some other bit's to modify so we can disable them..
btw,
looks like Malata actually took Honeycomb 3.0 solutions into account here buttonwise.

here is your fix , you asked for:
here is the command to disable light buttons completely (will enable after a poweroff)
DISABLE BUTTONS
Code:
echo regctrl=0x8800 >/sys/devices/virtual/input/input7/tegra_capsensor
ENABLE BUTTONS
Code:
echo regctrl=0x8801 >/sys/devices/virtual/input/input7/tegra_capsensor
Requested by user, not my idea here. but probably very handy with AndroidOS 3.0 when its out. (good for TntMod as they got buttons on screen)

thank you Dexter
Sol Ido, is it possible to add this trick in your next release ?

Any questions
