This is a fix for the rotation problem where you close your keyboard and it does not rotate back. In order to fix this problem you can not rotate the screen with the keyboard in but since i never do it that way its a great fix for me so i thought i would post for others who feel the same way. If you want source code so you can add exceptions for certain apps drop me a pm and i will send it to you.
I want to give a big thanks to robp for helping me with this if you want to donate, donate to him - https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=9432507.

Rotate to Landscape with G sensor
It would be nice if anytime we turn the Tilt 2 to landscape the screen would go to landscape without the need to slide the keyboard open. Any fix to do this?

Actually, there are quite a few ways to do this. I personally use Changescreen, but there are other ones such as Gyrator and G-config which also work just as well.
all of those above will work but will not work with my app so you get one or the other
Finally i found the right person who can help me with that

I was just replying to ADVANCE's question, I didn't mean to imply that it would fix the screen rotation problem, since I'm honestly not sure if those do that or not

my response was not meant in a negative way. I was just pointing out that the way my app works is different and if you used one of those apps with my app installed it would keep rotating back to portrait

I'd like to always have my Titan in landscape mode, and I'd like it to stay that way even when I open and close the keyboard. My old Apache did the same annoying thing - you can switch to landscape mode in the Settings > System > Screen, but as soon as you open and close the keyboard it switches right back to portrait.
Surely there is SOME way to make the phone stay in landscape, right?
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks!

theres a exe file out there called landscaper that allows the phone to always switch to landscape mode. When you wake the phone up or slide the keyboard the screen will change back to portrait but only briefly (you can set the amount of time in the options menu if you set it to 0 its pretty quick that it goes back to landscape). You will have to either put it in the start up folder or manually start the program each time after a soft reset. I personally just settled on mapping a hard key to rotate the screen and find this easier and quicker. Google Landscaper exe and Im sure you'll find it, if not PM me and I can send it to you. (dont think I can attach it here)
sorry didn't know this one posted!

me 2! man this is great
it goes back to portrait when you open and close the keyboard, plus it doesn't work after a soft reset--reverts back to portrait.

There's apps that let you change the orientation of the screen. Just set one to a hardware button. Sometimes you have to work with what you're given.
thanks. i asked for this before and got some snooty replies, glad not everyone is like that
hey after using the app i dont like it no more i want to just keep it in landscape no changing to portrait then back to landscape that takes to much time please help if this is possible

You get snooty replies because you ask questions a simple search could answer and you do it in inappropriate forums with a statement in the title instead of a question. Simple as that.
Obviously not a perfect solution, but much better than before. Thank you!

Putting it in your start up folder will solve the issue with the soft resets. If you play with the settings within this app you can set it to automatically revert to landscape when you open/close the keyboard, takes about 2 secs to switch and switch back but no invertvention is neccesary on your part once this feature is enabled.

WOW...you can find it at Windows\startup
lanscape mode with no downloads...
well, you guys must be talking about something else, because last time i checked. you dont have to download anything to achieve this..
all you have to do is go to start\settings\system tab\screen and there it is... you can change it to landscape mode for a righty or a lefty!!:

....and once you change it and open and close the keyboard it reverts to portrait. the idea of this thread is to make it start and stay in landscape constantly.

Locking the mogul in landscape
Isnt there a registery hack or something that could accomplish this.. The HTC Tilt already has this function and it is basically the same design.
I am a text addict and my fingers move faster then the phone... It would seem that there should be a way to override the hardware switch on the keyboard.
I am not familiar enough with the registery to finger this out... but if someone out there is familiar with the registery...

I did a few registry searches and changes looking for it and didn't find it. So I figured I'd search. That's why I referred you to this thread.
I will keep watching this thread.. I apprecate the assist...
If anyone comes up with a better solution... Please share it... THanks

ya, but it ain't free :S
Just switch your screen to landscape and your keyboards will be in landscape as well.
Silly question, only had my phone a couple of days but how do you change to landscape mode, so far I only have managed to flip the screen in opera but nothing else?

Well, i just basicly want to text easier, if i flip my phone sideways, it remains the same while texting, i dont understand what you mean, i cant switch it to landscape, can i? how?
you need GSen for screen rotation in virtually all windows except TF3D.
look it up in the forum stickies
Well i cant get gsen to work for me, or even the newer thing
install gsen, tap gsen toggle, you should get a message "Gsen is already working. Turn it off?" or smth like that. like i said, it works in all windows except TF3D.
if that doesn't work for you, flash another rom that has gsen incorporated.
if you still have problems, re-calibrate your gsensor.
worked for me.

Well.. It doesn't look as if anyone has answered your question, so just in case you still need help:
There are two popular programs that you can use, these would be Gyrator and gSen. If the links don't work both can be found on these forums.
Personally I like gSen better since it seems to be a little bit less "buggy". To each his own, though.

You could always just map the long-press Talk button to screen rotation. However, I find it much more difficult to use the QWERTY layout in landscape. The buttons are actually smaller b/c they try to keep in on 3 rows.
Is there any way of making the tilt function work both right and left?
are you asking if you can make the keyboard slide the other way?
and just how would that work?? i know xda is great at things but that would be a serious mod.
On the iphone you can used the g-sensor to the left or to the right.
Can It be done on HTC
Only 1 way - but it's to the left, so you can still use it while driving NASCAR.
There are G-sensor programs that you can setup to rotate any application.
The following are 2 that I know of:
Gyrator http://gyrator.brins0.net/
changeScreen http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=465586
One question I have... Why would you want to rotate the screen opposite to the slide out keyboard???
Oh one note: Touch Sense 2.5/2.6 does not rotate properly unless you are on the music and photo tabs. Any other Manila/Touch Sense version will work with rotation on all tabs.
he doesnt want the keyboard to slide out the other way you silly nublets. he wants the same thing i want, the rhodium version of sensorssdk4 to rotate the screen with the gsenor in all orientations. rather than just portrait and 90º clockwise.

I gave the answer already! The 2 programs I posted links to will rotate the screen any way you want. The original post was poorly worded but I knew what they were getting at!
P.S. I hate to say this but "Mr. Jack of Clubs" you fall into my #2 pet peeve...
I search but cannot find answer to below quesition thus hoping someone can help.
1) The light sensor on the HD2 is too sensitive. Using Opera on Landscape mode I can see the brighten and darken within second. Even the shadow on my finger can do this. Is there a way to use the sensor but adjust the senstivity. The Iphone 3GS does not do this.
2) Is there a way to put Opera in Landscape mode in the oposite direction. If I can do this I can avoid problem #1. Since my finger are alway in the way with the default landscape orientation.
Thanks
Opera works all directions 360 degrees. so unsure of question ?
1) Use a program like Lumos to tweak the light sensor functionality how you like it.
2) Use a program like Gyrator or changescreen to allow all orientations for opera.
