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.

Ok folks, many of you will probably now know that TomTom Navigator 6 is available.
Apart from features added, they have removed the scren orientation option in the preferences.
A rough and ready solution is the magnet near the camera button trick.
What would be slick, is if we could adapt the TT today plugin to do the following.
Tap TT today > This then sets rotation > then runs tomtom
The wizard has this in the settings so can we control it from a command line in the shortcut of the today plugin???
Come on boffins, there must be a way?
Couldn't you use mortscript?

I installed AE to give it a try and couldnt believe all that it can do.
I must admit its good, but i'm lazy, I have to press my voice button 3 times to get it how I want it!! :lol: :lol:
Now if only AE had a "rotate clockwise" or "rotate anti-clockwise", :lol: :lol:
I'm still going to look at installing a magnet, so it rotates as i put the phone on the holder.
I think the numbers are easier to dial in landscape mode.
If I want to change the orientation the screen I tap on the orientation button and the screen became landscape but when I extract the keyboard the screen return portrait... so I want that when I replaice the keyboard the screen come back to landscape... is it possible???
ok... no solution...
Why not press the orientation button while the keypad is still out?
because I don't want to tap the orientation everytime...
set a hw button to rotate the screen, works fine with pcmkeyboard

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 forum
Where can i manually switch between portrait and landscape mode? In WinMobile 2002 there was an icon on the bottom bar that did rotate the screen by 90 degrees. But i don't see it anymore. I don't want to pull out the qwerty keyboard everytime i want to switch to landscape mode. Tanks in advance.
Setting - System - Screen
You are able to assign the screen rotation to a hardware key. So it is only one click to rotate the screen

But this works only for the left and right softkey..if i need thoose i cant rotate, right?

Use AEBPlus - as far as im aware it is freeware. When I used it I found that it had a very low memory footprint and didnt slow windows down at all (in comparison with say Voice Command). AEBPlus enables you to assign anything to any button, including different states of button press (ie short press, long press, double press). For example I used the camera button half push (which normally controls auto focus) for rotating the screen. If you dont wanna loose your softkeys you could could have single press as softkey, double press as rotate screen have fun!
the problem is that Aeb turns the screen full 360 degrees in 4 steps (starting in the wrong direction)..while the native experia rotate only does the 2 settings you get when you slide it open..which i like more
how assign rotation (Setting-system-screen) to a leftkey
Did you ever get an answer to this? I too would like to know how to assign the landscape/portrait switch to a soft key.
Thanks,
Ian

Softkeys are the two silver looking buttons below the screen.
Too change, go to Start > Settings > Buttons > Select either "Left key" or "Right key" and assign "<Rotate Screen>" via the dropdown menu below.

If you go to Options -> Screen Orientation and select only 0 and 270 degrees, it will work like you want.

I'm pretty sure softkeys are the functions shown on the bottom of the screen. The two silver buttons are called left and right button usually I guess.
Often those keys will press the corresponding softkey, but they can be programmed to do other things with software like AEB+.
My bad, I meant left/right key. I do know the difference, I just had not had my coffee yet. thanks for the info!
Can anybody help me out by telling me what I need to do to get tomtom navigator to rotate to landscape. I prefer not to use any third party apps such as flip-it or Gyrator2.
I know it's all about it to the whitelist in the GSensor reg settings but I'm not entirely sure. Tried a couple of things but not cracked it.
Thanks in advance.
hi i suggest you install one application called "Quick Menu"
that one is very cool to use. And it also has the function you need.
You can rotate the screen manually.(left/right)

Hopefully a remedy for this can be found. Id love to have TomTom in Landscape.
Any of the many rotating apps on this forum will let you rotate TomTom. I've used Gyrator and FlipIt and both did the job. There's also changeScreen, Gsen, and more.
By far the best solution would be to get Gyrator working, but you could use this online tool to create a custom TomTom menu with the rotate button in the menu. Take note that some newer functions cannot be added to these menus.
I personally used AE Button Plus to assign a double tap of Volume Up to Rotate Screen.
I just use changescreen. I also use it to rotate calculator. Its good to install it because it might come in handy in the future when you need to rotate more apps or games. I recommend changescreen for ease of use.
In windows, in Onkolog's Lite you can assign a long-press of the call button (leftmost touch sensitive button) to rotate screen.
Start>Settings>Buttons
I use this to rotate TomTom.
No other 3rd party software added.
I have been having a problem that, when using TomTom in Landscape, I get the Windows title bar showing on top of the TomTom screen. I have had suggestions that this is down to the use of rotation software (I am currently using ChangeScreen, which is great in every other respect).

Pretty much the same here, I used Total Commander to enable the rotation menu in the registry, then assigned it to call button long press.
I got severely fed up of the rotation apps that needed tons of configuration - then still didn't work.
Hi everyone
Sometimes I want to use things in landscape mode & X1 doesn't have an Accelerometer for rotation.
So I was thinking to remap the hardware OK-button to as rotation-button.
In the Button-settings I see 4 "buttons", left key & the right key.
But how do you know which button is the OK-button?
Or is this impossible to do that?
I'm using Itje Touch-IT V7 RC1
I hope someone can help me with this
i see only 2 buttons^^ left and right hardware button^^
and i assigned to the right button display rotation
I use AEButton Plus to do precisely what you want. Works great.
Thx for the tips
