Hi All,
I've killed Auto Deploy SIP using advanced config, but to my dismay it's still alive and kicking when I use Opera Mobile.
Ideally I'd like to just disable the auto SIP in landscape mode, but if there's a way to do it that "fixes" both I'll take it.
It's annoying to have the soft keyboard popup in landscape taking up 2/3 of the screen when I don't use it.
IE works the way it's supposed to. The keyboard doesn't come up unless I hit the SIP selector.
im also interested in something like that.

I have an imate Jasjar running WM5. When ever I twist the screen, the screen automatically changes to landscape when using the keyboard and to portrait when not using keyboard. This is a great feature, but what if I want it to be permanently in landscape mode, even when the keyboard is not in use. I have a heavy skin on the device which takes ages to change orientation, often crashing my device. Besides, I find landscape easier to work with and have to click on the screen rotation button every time.
Is there a way to stop the auto screen orientation? Maybe some kind of registry edit. The wiki said that devices like Universal have the auto orientation hard wired, independent of the registry. Do the XDA developer gurus have a solution?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=303904 gives what you need. It works for Windows mobile 5 too
Just curious is their a way to disable it only in landscape mode?
Im using pocketcm and it pops up when ever im sending a text.
I checked in the regestry and i tried sktools, but its an older release.
Im running Schap's WM6 Pro 4.22 lite ROM and ive checked in his advanced tools...nada.
there's a bunch of programs that let you set different soft keyboard depending on if you're in portrait or landscape mode; one off the top of my head is PQzII. i think QuickMenu might also have the feature, but i can't check right now. anyway, set whatever soft keyboard you want for portrait mode, but for landscape, grab the soft keyboard named NullKeyboard. it's like a blank keyboard, which is as close as you can get to solving your problem. just use PQzII (or whatever) to set the landscape keyboard as NullKB, and you're all set.
Worked like a charm...Thanks
On my Kaiser, if it pops up in landscape mode, if I just start typing with my hardware keyboard, it goes away automatically. Does the Hermes not do that?

It does, but not when i use contactcm. Even now i noticed when i use null keyboard contactcm it still shows 2 send buttons on the screen and the keyboard comes back but u cant see it.. so null didnt really help with that program, No biggie ill just tap the screen to drop the keyboard. once i do that it dosnt pop back up, unless i close the program.. only happends on 2 programs i use.
Is it possible to keep the 6800 in landscape mode at ALL times unless I manually press a mapped key or click a rotate icon? There are alot of times where I'm sending tons of text messages and I'm constantly opening and closing the phone and the delay for the screen to rotate around gets REALLY annoying. I'd really like it if I could just keep it in landscape mode and switch it back manually when I'm done
Thanks in advance for any advice!
start, settings, personal, sceen allows you to rotate orientation.
You're right, it does. But that setting is overridden whenever you slide the keyboard in/out. So if I were to go set my 6800 to landscape manually, then open the keyboard and close it again, it will automatically go back to portrait mode regardless of what I've set as my personal setting.
I'm looking for a way to stop my 6800 from automatically changing the screen orientation when the keyboard is slid in or out
try this it should work for you.
Thanks for that. It will suffice for the time being until I find some way to make the change fully manual. Seems I've found some people on PPC Geeks who are looking for a solution to this as well.
Hopefully someday someone will figure it out
supposedly someone is going to post something that may help!

This is the deal breaker for me.
The lack of keyboard will be better if I can make the screen horizontal as I do on my TyTn II. My screen is permanently on ladnscape mode.
As it looks better and there is no lag when switching.
Possible on the HTC Touch HD?
From the manual I read online and playing with it at the store I think its not possible.
Any info?
Thanks
Solution:
To remain constantly in landscapde mode:
You will need to rotate the screen and switch the phone dialer menu(screen) from the default HTC one to the WM dialer menu.
There are plenty of ways to rotate the screen and one way to switch from HTC dialer to WM.
N.B: You must disable the HTC Touch Flow 3d home menu by deselecting from the Home menu in settings.
To change to WM dialer from HTC dialer:
1- Download and install HD Tweak (thanks montecristoff & co.)
2- Use it to change the dialer to WM dialer.
To rotate the screen:
* Search on the forum for the registry tweak to make the option of selecting either landscape or portrait appear. Then go to Start/Settings/Screen and select landscape.
or
Use software like pbar or quickmenu or spb pocketplus to rotate the screen. Obviously pbar or quickmenu are preferable because they are free and very useful (thanks creators).
Cons:
1- With the WM dialer, you loose the ability to make video calls. Its not forever though, you can easily switch to HTC dialer from the HD tweak app.
2- You fore go the HTC Touch Flow 3d home screen. You will probably need to get SPB mobile shell or similar.
Pros:
1- Screen looks damn nice in landscape mode, or as I like to refer to it as wide screen!
2- More text in a more natural perspective. Things dont look so narrow.
3- Typing onscreen is much easier because the virtual keyboard is larger/wider.
I prefer this way because I did not like the way my previous TyTn II (Kaiser) lagged when it rotated from portrait to landscape every time I opened/used the physical keyboard. So I decided to keep it landscape. Turned out to be the best(my) option.
No landscape mode is supported! only TF3D today plugin doesnt support landscape!
so you will not have a problem!
Most software will work in landscape mode - see the FAQ:
"How do I make all applications turn when I rotate the HD?
Not all applications respond to the g-sensor (screen rotation)
There are a number of applications (eg. Gyrator2, GSen) that can help work around this issue. "
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BlackstoneFAQ
Not sure which applications work in landscape and which don't though, but you'd get most of them in landscape.
The Keyboard is pretty usable in portrait with such a big screen too.
I want it in landscape mode permanently!
Not with some applications...
Well u can rotate today screen aswell but it wont look as nice.Tobad it rotates back though when u return from an applicaiton to the today screen.
But that should be fixable. Just try to rotate today via the built in rotate setting and u will se how it looks.
It looks a little weird on the right side of the screenshot but it disapperas immedeiately.
I use SPB mobile shell & SPB diary combined as my today screen.
So I wont be using HTC's today screen at all.

thanks a lot.
I could not find the tweak to enable landscape mode.
Something else you could try - install AE Button Plus, map one of the buttons (e.g. volume up) to "rotate screen", rotate the screen to the orientation you want, then re-load AE Button Plus and un-map the button. That should do it? I'm not entirely sure whether this will stick when you turn off or soft reset your device though...
Alternatively you could do what I have done, and map a long press of volume up to rotate one direction and long press of volume down to rotate the other way. There are occasions where portrait mode is better, others where landscape is better. Also means that volume controls still work as intended when pressed normally. I find gsen and gyrator a bit tempremental at times, so prefer having manual control over the rotation.
Even this will not cause proper rotation if your looking to stay in landscape. tf3d will not work in landscape without some sort of bodge from the diamond. I use my htc device in a car with landscape gps apps. I gave up on tf3d as maybe i don't need it because i've got voice commander. I set gyrator to switch to the phone app and rotate if the phone was landscape and happened to be on the manilla screen. I wanted the phone app to be landscape so i can see who i'm voice calling while in the car. this works, but if you switch to another app then back to the phone then the phone goes portrait and then only re shaking and landscaping the phone gets it to go landscape. Really I don't want to touch it when im driving. I guess I could set a voice command to rotate but I dont think its worth it. I also tried unhiding the landscape with a reg edit but once again the phone app re-portraits. Im now going to try a hreset and stoping the customize incase that affects the phone orientation if not im going a hunting a reg setting as maybe there is one that causes the phone app to portrait? I swear this was easier on my universal but i refuse to give up (and im kinda having fun )

Again, in either HD Tweak or Advance Config, there's a bit where you can check which phone dialer skin is used (I think HD Tweak) maybe if you try setting the phone dialer to the original WM 6.1 dialer instead of the HTC one it might not keep switching back to portrait? You won't be able to make video calls, but that may be something you don't mind losing... I know I never use it...
No thats fine, I have ugly friends
woohoo thanks guys no more poking around in the dark with reg settings for me hd tweak did the job!

I believe he is woohoo'ing because if you switch from HTC dialer type to WM dialer type via HD Tweak (you do loose the ability to make a video call), it then no longer rotates back to portrait mode after you switched to landscape.
Prior, it would remain in portrait mode till you accessed the dialer screen, then for some reason it would rotate back to portrait mode.
Now with the WM dialer style, it stays permanently in landscape mode.
This is with TF3d disabled of course.
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
