On the third tab of the HTC home screen, there is a link to
an app which rotates the screen 90 degrees, and back when
pressed for a second time.
I want to know where that link leads to. Im trying to find the
program (something.exe) in the filesystem for a program im
making for a friend.
Does anyone know where it is?
Thanks

Hi, i have searched the forums and the web for thius "app"
i have it in a rom, it is a little app in the start menu which allows you to rotate the screen from portrait to landscape and back.
(i have seen a programme which rotates 90 degrees each time, which is rubbish)
I hate auto rotate as rotates in things i dont want it to.
i love this app, i can use the phone like anormal phone and when i want to rotate screen - tomtom, video, pictures etc i just open start and tap the button.
(Its in the energy ROM) - what is this lovely little app please? or is it something the ROM chef created? i pm`ed him but no response, understandably as prob gets lots of messages and wants to work on new roms etc.
Cheers
Use AE Button Plus or All at Hand Rotate to manually rotate the screen
http://www.all-at-hand.com/software.php
You can also change the Button (1) in your settings to rotate I think you may have to have HD Tweak installed but thats a good app as well try without first
cheers ,i ll have a look at All at Hand Rotate and see how that feels
I was wondering if any one knows if Gyrator can be set to "not" rotate during a call? As it is now when I am talking ,and maybe need to click over to call waiting my screen goes to landscape...and then lags to go vertical so I can hit the right key.
The same when I want to hang up, when I pull away from my ear the screen is in landscape.
I would appreciate any help please........Thank you!:
Again, I am trying to stop rotation during a call. Also I am using a Sprint Touch Pro
Don't think it's possible with Gyrator? Use ChangeScreen + InCall Screen Tweak
Kraize, I appreciate that info, but could you walk me through that process you described? Is that an entry I would add as an event in Gyrator? Thanks again.....Marc
Eagleland,
This was driving me crazy as well but I figured out how to disable rotate in a call.
Create a new event in gyrator and set the application to phone. Then set orientation to portrait, and action to rotate screen. Finally, make sure that it is promoted above Rotate in the priority list.
I did this earlier today and so far it has been working for me.
*Also* - Make sure that Orientation is checked under that menu where edit event is located.
Correct me if I'm wrong but this can be done for any program you don't want to rotate.
Nox....thank tou so much for the info. I have not been able to test it yet, but I will let you know.
I am having no fun trying to figure Gyrator out! It would be nice if they had a manual or a better tutorial, don't you think?
Thanks again! Have a nice holiday!
yeah, i hit that problem too, but in gyrator options, there are some entries to disable it for some apps, like opera or touchflo. based on those, i did one for iconsoft phonex, because that's what i'm using. and it's working perfect, though i wouldn't have it any other way.
also, it's the exact same thing nox is talking about.
Hi Gordon and NOX! Wheel I want to say thanks again for the info. But I seem to still have the problem of the screen rotating while I am in the middle of a call? Nox, I followed your direction and maybe I did something not quite right.
First of all ,when I press the talk button and the phone keypad comes up, it will rotate. Then I placed a call, and as I pulled the phone away from my ear, it was again in landscape. Orientation is supposed to be checked all of the time correct? Is there something I may have missed?
Thanks again, Eagleland
Here's how I did it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3406887&postcount=1170
Hi tnyynt....thanks for your help also. Weel, i tried it the way you described and that didnt' work also. Is maybe because I have to do a soft reset? Also should orientation be cheched in the event menu? I appreciate your insight.
Have a good evening...Eagleland
use the app "changescreen"...IMO it is much easier to use than gyrator..
go to the "exceptions" tab and add "cprog", select portrait and your done.
I also use smartlock to lock the phone during a call, along with the InCallScreenTweek and now there is no more opening applications during a call..
the screen rotation and opening of applications during a call drove me insane for awhile...
I am still having problems getting my phone to stop rotating during a call, and frustration is setting in. I am wondering if it is because I am using a Sprint HTC Pro. Does anyone know if the Changescreen App would work better than
Gyrator on a Pro. I installed the touch screen tweak and it wot
ks well but does not stop the screen rotation.
I am missing something , and can't seem to pin it down.
I would appreciate any insight once again.....I am offering to pay someone that can give me the answer....seriously!!
Thanks again, Eagleland

hi thanks all is working and it help me a lot - info 4 others read carefully and it is gonna work
thanks
Eagle,
I did what nox said and was still having issues like you. Then I went back into the event I created in gyrator to look through the settings and noticed my problem. When choosing the application ("phone") the first time, I only single clicked it and moved on. When I came back to edit, I noticed no app was selected, so this time I DOUBLE-CLICKED "phone" as the application and now it works perfect!!
Hope this helps. It's exactly what I (and presumably you) was looking for.
I'm left handed and when I want to turn it landscape I turn the phone to the right but it doesnt rotate to the right It does rotates to the left..
Is something wrong with my phone or does this happen to everyone else
Think it only works one way. I'm left handed too and haven't noticed any particular need to turn it to the right.. I'm used to phones behaving that way I guess.
If you're lounging in a chair holding the phone at an angle you'll be glad that it doesn't suddenly rotate on you when you least expect it..
Yeah, i'm a southpaw. I would love if it rotated to the right and left.
anyone know if Open Home or any of the other home replacement apps supports rotate in all directions?
The Android OS doesn't support a rotate to the right, no home screen can change this.
Individual apps can support it (see bebbled) if they program for it, but it's a hack.

Motorola has it enabled by default on the CLIQ, not sure about droid.
It's very possible and should be part of the core.
Was playing with my friend's iPhone last night - it does it.
I too am a southpaw, would be nice. But I don't find it annoying or anything.
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
Hi all
Im searching for an app that instantly rotates the screen to landscape and back..
no, not an app that toggles auto rotation. i want to assign the app to the call button, that i can turn it manually.
i want to decide by myself when the screen rotates.
this is cause im more and more pissed about the rotation when lying in bed, or walking around. i dont want to always toggle it on and off.. it was so much easier on windows mobile, i could just assign a button, wich instantly rotated my screen.
i googled and searched XDA, but found nothing that suits my needs so far.. :/
would be awsome if someone of you knows an app like this
ty.
btw, i installed the app "button remapper" where i can assign the keys.
but it has no option for rotation, or opening an app, so i just decided to assign it as the search button, so i can customize the key via the ultimate droid options.
now i just need an app wich turns the screen... :3
...bump..?.. :/

Try this.

Or, search for RotateD API in Google. I use the app for my Augen tablet.
