Does anyone know where the I can find the application file to rotate the screen from portrait to landscape and vice versa on the HTC Touch?
I am trying to find the exe or ink file so I can add the function to an icon on one of my ifonz pages. The Rotate screen exists on the Settings/System/Screen page but I can't figure out where the file is that it activates.
It has eluded me thus far.
Thanks
This may be what you are looking for.

I use SPB Mobile Shell and it has this functionality built in.
My screen rotates to portrait (and vice versa) when I long hold the camera button.
You can change the settings in Settings > Buttons > camera button (hold) < [rotate]

Does anyone know of a today plug-in or some way of making a shortcut to easily access the widescreen feature on the Prophet, as this would be a major convience when surfing webpages?
Do you mean landscape mode (when the screen is horizontal)?
I map screen rotation to the OK hardware button (lower right corner) from settings->buttons.
This way I don't have to leave IE to change orientation and no need for extra software. There is an action button in the middle so who needs extra 'OK' any way?
Hi
I posted a CAB File from the Orange Extended ROM that places an icon on the Today Screen for screen rotation. Just tap it and it rotates the screen from portrait to landscape.
It was supplied by Orange but it has worked for others, try it and see.

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

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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
The other day i was just watching some reviews and videos of nokia 5800 and in one video i saw the functionality of the phone...a guy was writing a SMS and there he showed that he can manually enter into landscape mode and portrait mode as per need to write the message
So i just wondered that if same kind of manual rotation of screen via some menu or some bind key can be done in HTC Diamond.
I know there are anuto rotation apps like gyrator and gsen but with there own limitations also i guess not everyone wants to rotate the screen every now and then automatically
I request someone to please take interest and come up with ideas

hi, have a look at start/ personal buttons and 2.assign program, scroll here and see if you have the option to rotate screen, if not i think you can add the option via diamond tf3d config or last option is via a manual registry edit by going to HKLM/system/ gdi/ rotation. hideoreientationgui change value from 1 to 0. this means that manual screen rotation can be performed by pressing and holding the call button on all apps apart from tf3d .
I have tried Gyrater2 and have yet to figure out how to configure it or find a decent faq for it despite clicking all over his page. I second the motion. I want my screen to rotate where it already does with the OEM setup AND whenever I open the full querty and nowhere else.
install "AE Button Plus" so can you assaign for exampel if you hold long "volume down" so screen can rotate clockwise or just rotate. works nice for me
I'm looking for something that will rotate the screen when I open up the onscreen keyboard to make the keys bigger. Any ideas?
SPB Mobile Shell has an icon to rotate screen. I do not know if it can help you.
Why not map a button (such as button 5) to rotate the screen ?
map to whatever button you want
rotate screen cw.cab will rotate to landscape with first press, then back to portrait with next press.

Hi,
I would like to assign the long press on "Call button" to the Rotate screen option but I would like the landscape to be reverse (to the right) as I am right-handed and I would like the earphones plug to be the opposite way.
1) I created a shortcut with SKtools for a rotation of 270°.
--> the problem is that I needed another shortcut to put it back to portrait mode.
2) I then tried to use the SPB PocketPlus button mapping to "Rotate screen" which works really good as the same shortcut can toggle between portrait and landscape but only rotate screen to default landscape.
I look for a registry edit (maybe in HKLM/system/GDI/Rotation...) or other trick to change the default landscape to reverse landscape so that I can keep the Pocket+ button mapping
I know that AEBPlus is able to do that but I would like to save some RAM and also some money (AEBPlus is shareware)
Thank you for your help.
Try to use "Gyrator 2"... Work perfect on Touch HD. I supose that is fix your problem with screen orientation.

EDIT : rotate manually
Thank you for your advice.
I tried Gyrator2 (which is a really good software). I also tried MagicMobile and ChangeScreen applications but none of them enable me to rotate manually by pressing/holding a button (the call button for example).
My problem with the automatic rotation apps is when I want to answer a phone call (with the phone in my pocket) with the slide to answer of TF3D, the screen rotation mess up with my action...
It makes it difficult for me to answer as the slide area changes place...
The only reason I want to rotate my screen is in the "Programs Explorer" before launching iGO for it to be in landscape mode...
I liked that Tomtom could handle the rotation once the program is on.
It seems that with iGO, we have to rotate before launching the software or it will stay in portrait mode.
AEB+ will do this in its "free" non-registered mode.
I have it on the OK/back button with rotate 90 and then toggle back. It has a full range of rotate angles.
Try it - it is shareware but works almost 100% in "free" mode.
You are right. AEB+ solves my problem (and is a great aplication even the "free" part)
Thank you Cheesy Dave !
