How do I get gyrator to perform a single rotate to landscape on launching TomTom and then lock it into landscape mode. Basically I only want TomTom to appear in landscape.
Currently when viewing in lanscape it works great until you hit a bump in the road and then it starts rotating the screen at random.
Darn annoying.
I've been trying to play with the Events but can't seem to get it to work.
Thanks.
Have you tried the Sensitivity option?
Menu > Options > Sensors > Movement Sensitivity
Haven't tried this myself (default setting of "2" is fine for me), but maybe you can set it to "10" or something like that and see if that helps.
Thanks managed to sort it out. Seems that Gyrator functions backwards to what the text would lead you to expect... thus if I enabled that it should rotate it doesn't....

Hi guys
Does anyone know if there is a fix for this bug as mentioned on the Gyrator website help page? In fact, does anyone get this bug or just a special few??
Q. When I rotate to any new orientation, the phone application pops up, or the today/manila screen appears?
A. As you'll probably know, orientation is disabled by default on the Diamond, because the HTC developers are either too incompetent, or lazy, to build applications which are orientation aware. As such, strange things happen with either Gyrator rotates the screen, or you use any other application to do the same thing.

Yes, it is a PITA. I'm using a file called "rotator-netxscale-2003-4k-v420". It brings up a box on top of other apps to change the screen around. I have it programmed to the down volume button with AEBplus. The trick is never to switch the screen orientation while in TouchFlo3D. If you start your app first then activate the above program to change the screen it is all good, if you go to the TouchFlo 3D interface...it is not a happy camper. Unlike the normal WM Today Screen, TouchFlo3D Home is allergic to landscape.
I use Gyrator2, and TouchFLO is disabled by default in the settings, preventing it from being re-oriented if the device is turned. If you do a little searching, you'll find more threads that can help you configure Gyrator2 to stop the phone app, including incoming calls, from re-orienting. Plus, you can add any app you want in the settings. One I added was the Bubble Breaker game, which would restart a new game automatically if you turned the phone...
The same thing can also be done with MobileMagic.
Just deny auto rotation to the the apps that do not like
to be rotated or that rotate them self, like Teeter.
Thanks for the info chaps but i think that there is a bug in the system which SOMETIMES pops up the phone or manilla when i rotate an app (opera or tomtom mainly) from portrait to landscape using any method (gyrator, gsen or handymenu). It seems that these apps (phone, manilla) dont like any change of orientation even when they are in the background and opera or tomtom is rotated.
I have changed the gyrator2 .ini file to make no apps rotate except the ones i want to. Not even that works........
Any more help please?

Hmmm, don´t have that Problem. Dunno why, but it works as it should.
Hi, just found a bug using gyrator on my new touch HD when typing a message in landscape mode. The dot (.) and comma (,) are inverted, so trying to type one of them gives the other as a result. Haven't yet tried without gyrator if the keybord gives the same problem, and will post it here later on.
Thanks
I read everywhere "landscape" and i can't understand how to change my phone from portrait to landscape.Can someone help me?
Ps.I'm a new here and i don't know as much as you
Landscape mode...
There are only two apps which will switch to landscape automatically on the Diamond (without any additional software), and they are HTC Album and Opera Browser.
I would highly recommend installing this application if you'd like more apps to rotate. I've tried all the available 'screen rotation' apps here at XDA, and in my opinion, it's by far the best to use, and by far the least complicated to set up
If you want to manually rotate the screen, you can download Advanced Config, and set it to show orientation settings. Then after you soft-reset the device, <Rotate Screen> will be in the menu when you go into settings>buttons. Then you can set a button to rotate the screen.
Hope that helps
ok i managed to rotate the screen,but touchflo seems to have a problem so i can't use landscape mode.thank you guys
Hi,
Just got my Topaz today.
I only manage to get it to landscape mode when turning left, is there a way of getting to go landscape when turning to the right. I prefer it that way for querty usage, being right handed I prefer to have extra reach with mi right hand.
Thanks.
I thought that it can rotat each way except for upside down. If not that will suck but sure there is a hack for it. Try turning it to the right and tilting the screen down a little bit?
If it works let me know. And by right I assume you mean that you like the bottom of the phone to be on the right side. Because I hate diveces that rotate to the left.... I've seen a few where you need to turn it left to slide out the qwerty. Seems Bass Ackwards to me.
Is it possible to rotate both ways?
Anyone found a fix for this? I'm using the new WM6.5 rom, and after enabling auto-rotate, I can only get it to rotate one way. I'd like it to rotate the other way as well as that would suit the position of my car mount and car charger better. Any ideas anyone?
not sure if it works but you can try to change with advance config 3.3 landscape mode from 270° to 180° for right rotation but its fixed

Don't you mean "to" 90 degrees?
180 would be upside down?
yes 90 degrees
You can use ChangeScreen to rotate all the programs.
Changescreen does the trick
Thanks chaps for all the advice. Advanced config does seem to have settings to rotate in all directions, but the Touchflo interface would still only rotate in the one direction.
However, changescreen seems to override that, and allows you to rotate it in all directions (as long as you take the restrictions of the Manilla settings).
Thanks everyone!

I would like to be able to text in landscape, as fingerkeyboard is very nice in landscape mode
However I cannot get it to work.
I have made a mortscript, it just rotates my screen, regardless of settings i make.
I cannot set a key to rotate the screen as has been suggested.
Once more, Wisbar 3 will not run on my phone.
Any ideas?
not sure what to tell about landscape mode. However why do you want to use wisebar for? There should be any need for it.

Go to settings-> buttons and choose press/hold of camera key to rotate screen...
idk about wisbar, i dont know what would cause it to "not run"
thanks, the problem was solved
Also, i read that you could set how programs open in wisbar 3, so i could set it to auto run texting with landscape.
However its not an issue anymore since I can rotate my screen.
Hello,
I often use the phone in landscape mode in my car. I would like to get the home screen and call screen (displayed when making or receiving a call) to rotate to landscape display. I've noticed that the call screen sometimes rotates to landscape but then very quickly back to portrait. I've managed to get the home screen to rotate to landscape using the rotate hotkey hint and tip. Is there a way of making this behaviour happen by default when the phone is rotated?
Thanks,
James
How did you manage to rotate the home screen ? I know there is a tip using rotate.exe .. but I could not find it.
I would like to rotate everything manually.
Anyway my phone application rotates correctly with no problem. Actually I hate it

I didn't think that you could rotate the current version of Sense (except of course photos & videos and the music tab).
Dr.Sid, if you want manual rotation, give PLToggle a go, in my signature
