Home/Today-Screen for Landscape mode on HD? (maybe from the Touch pro (Raphael))

Hi,
I want to use my HD in Landscape mode in the car, mostly for Navigation purposes, but sometimes also 'just' as a phone. (I need the landscape mode to have full functionality of Navigon MN7). The Problem is that the TF3D supports only portrait mode. Is there a possibility to (automatically) use a different Landscape-Today-Screen when turning the device and get back to TF3D when turning back to portrait? The Toch pro has a kind of Landscape today-Screen, although it's not TF3D... could there be a possibility to use that somehow? or just any other sensible possibility without switching off tf3d or manually using second today or something?
regards jan

really no one any ideas/suggestions? am i the only one who has that "problem"?

Have you tried GSen or Gyrator 2?
From what I understood it will fit your needs. Search for any of them here on forum.

i know about programs like gsen or gyrator, but that's not the point... the point is that the tf3d today/home screen itself is not available in landscape mode.

Another problem seems to be, that there are certain applications, who change the orientation again.
When I set orientation to landscape and start Navigation, it works as expected. Then a call comes in and the phone application turns everything back to portrait ... no way, to go back to landscape anymore. Is there a way to tell the phone app, not to turn the screen back again?
By the way, on the touch diamond the phone app runs in landscape, when this is the actual orientation ...

i believe you just answered your own question.
if you look at the raphael, the landscape mode requires an entirely different set of graphics and frames and layouts. it is not a simple rotate of the portrait view. On HD, that set of graphics, and frames do not exist. I _believe_ even if the GSEN or gyrator will rotate the homescreen to landscape, you would get some pretty ugly results. i haven't tried myself.

Yep it's like an untuned tv on the right. I really like it

Having said that if anyone does port the graphics...

Rotate device

dear all
I have touch HD version 1.198310 WWE
Radio 1.09
My question is how to manually rotate to landscape mode? How to do?
I saw a youtube clip showing that no matter which application, the sensor is able to rotate to landscape mode. Especially useful when writing SMS and text, since the keyboard becomes larger (in landscape mode) and buttons are bigger. In my case the device, when rotated, does not move to landscape mode, except in these apps: youtube, opera and viewing pictures.
how to solve this issue?
Is there an updated ROM to fix it?
I wish my device goes into landscape when I rotate and when writing texts (SMS or word)
Thanks

You already asked this question in Blackstone ROM Development.​ http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=453

[Q] How to switch into landscape?

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

Rotate on home and call screen

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

so that the device can run the game on landscape mode, you need to install the application Rotate Screen for the first

x2accelerometer
also you can add Sim's game to the accelerometer and app will switch your screen to landscape on it.
this app need to recognize other apps for execute rotation.

Did you find a fix yet OP? I've been waiting for an update 3 years now
