Anyway to keep phone in Landscape?

is there anyway to keep the phone in landscape, permenantly (even when I close the keyboard?)

i'd like to know about this aswell for the wizard.

I've never tried it personally, but I saw this:
Start > Settings > System tab > Screen
then choose Landscape
Does this help?

thanks for the reply.
that only works until the keyboard is flipped out again!
there must be a way to stop the OS from flipping when it hears that command.

Hi!
Sorry to dig up a post - i thought I'd rather dig this up, than make a new post .. so that no one has to repeat themselves
ERmm - yes, is there some sort of mod, or way to make your TyTN stay in Landscape mode permanently?
Yes, I go to the system settings and change the Screen rotation to landscape, and it stays that way .. and i slide the keyboard out and it stays that way as well .. but as soon as i slide the keyboard in, the damned thing decides to get back into portrait .. sigh .. anyhelp?

Yeah, I've made a hack for this. I'll release it shortly.

Hey V, can you PM or IM me when you get a chance. Thanks

i launcher allows you to rotate screen pemanantly along with the other thousands of things it does!!

futuresbright: does ilauncher maintain the orientation when you open and close the keyboard?
V

you can edit the registy just serch you reg for landscape and portrat copy the landscape ones and past them over the portrat one but why would you want to do this?

This is a good option to have, I think it will be very useful for people who use the keyboard a lot.

ill try and find the exact keys and values for you to change but if you want to change back youl have to edit the reg or hard reset

sorry posted reply away from device last night.forget what I said about ilauncher it does revert back to portrait once keyboard is opened and closed.sorry.

n00b question:
How does one regedit on a PPC?!?!
Thanks for the answers guys! I just prefer the landscape orientation, and find it a pain in the arse that it reverts back to portrait when i open and close the keyboard.

I needed this feature also on my Universal. I am using it only as car navigation. So I used a magnet which I glued on the back of the car holder (brodit) thus everytime I put the Universal in the cradle (slide it in from the side) the screen automatically rotates to landscape.

i've been looking at the registry and am unable to find what to change.

I have a solution to this, but am working on a more elegant solution. I didn't look for a way through the registry.
Did javaoverride2003's suggestion above work?
V

couldn't try javaoveride's suggestion - didn't know what keys and such to play with .. hum ..

Hi Vijay, - Any news on this app to stop the autorotation? Much appreciated.

Yes, VJUzumaki is pretty much finished in its current form, but I didn't release yet because I was curious if the registry editing method mentioned worked, in which case there's no need for it.
If the registry method doesn't work, I'll release it.

Can not disable TouchFlow's scroll function in Touch Flow

Hi Everyone,
Just bought the the HD. Great hardware, but as you know interface is not as fluid as iPhone. would really like to use PhatPad but when I try and disable touchflow's scroll funtion, it just stays.
the registery editor works as I can for example flip scroll sound on & off, but it seems that scroll and "cube" are overriden.
Anyone has found a solution ?
By the way, would disabling mean that one could not use row of launch buttons for emails, pictures, config etc... ?
Many thanks for this great forum!
Cheers
Nader

I also miss the use of Phatpad and have not found a solution.
Do you also have the freezing problem? Try writing a note continuously and see if eventually the screen freezes for a couple of seconds.

At least no Freezing problem ....
Hi,
I tried by applying the stylus and managed to scramble the page a lot and did not get any freezing of screen.
Strange that we can not disable this scroll function, it seems to be embedded into touchflow and does not use registery data ?
Cheers
Nader

No one knows how to disable the scroll function ?
Thanks for any help.
Cheers
Nader

just install nullkeaboard, can be found here:

optimal screenrotation for x1

Hi everybody,
i am very happy with my x1 instead of one little thing. The problem I have is, that the rotationspeed of the x1 is better than everything I xperienced ^^ before but it suck in the today screen combined with SPB . It resize every time. I would like to ask if it is possible to disable it in the today screen or how do you feel about the screen rotation of the x1 in your "daylife".
Thanks a lot!
Martin

it's very hard to understand what you're saying your problem is your happy with the rotation ?

in short, rotation is great, but seems to annoy him when he's using teh TOday Screen with the SPB apps!? is the a way to disable screenroation for the Today screen.
in short: "Nope"
u can just disable it for teh Whole phone. not just for 1 app

You can disable the rotation ? How ?

Yeah, i allready thought something like this ...
i tried to disable autoscreenrotation with a taskmanager and try to disable a device caled MIS1 or s.th. like that.... but the rotation is still enabled =(.

Found solution for Slow HTCAlbum 3.0 (maybe intere

Interesting for Chefs!!
Have you ever noticed that the Album version of the new Roms is very laggy in sliding between the pictures when you turn your phone in landscape mode?
I found 5 min ago a solution when playing with the registry, in which the Album slides smooth in Landscape AND you can use the picture overview in Landscape.
In
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\HTCAlbum]
Edit the "rotate" entry to "0"

i think it's useful for chef as it can easily be included in rom instead making us fiddle with the registry

what exactly does this improve? is it sliding between pictures when viewing full screen landscape or when the device is rotated on the photos tab?
if its the first, then it can also be accomplished by removing the entries in the Gsensor whitelist - thats how ive been doing it.

Great find.
Not only does it improve the landscape viewing, but it avoids/solves a bug in the recent HTC albums where you could confuse the sliding sequence when changing the physical position of the HD while continuing to slide.

I don´t see any improvement....maybe someone can upload a video?
I really like this feature to work...!!!
Thks.

Too bad it doestn't work for me. In portrait mode, the pictures slide very smooth. In landscape mode it's still choppy and slow, even with this change in the register and a softreset. I think it has something to do with the g-sensor. Is it possible to totally disable the g-sensor or at least when turning the phone in album..?
I've tried about 6 different roms and they all have this problem, i hope someone can fix this.

It's first
But the difference is, that the picture view (this where all pictures are listed in a grid) could be used in landscape mode furthermore.
With the removing of the whitelist this would be impossible!

The only thing I wish is that there are no more laggy HTCAlbums in new Roms *ggg*

Which version of HTCAlbum do you have? You see the version also in the Registry path were the tweak has to be added.
I tried it with Dutty Holy Grail R0 2.1 And the Album version is 3.0
And I don't have to make a soft reset... wierd...

Great discovery can you do that for the calculator and htc music

MOD EDIT
Moved to General discussion forum

i have noticed that roms with os 6.5.1 has a very fast rotation and fast scrolling in landscape mode both for pictures and music (i just check on chinehe v.2.3)
and the rotation registry value is still "1"
so, maybe the solution for slow rotation and scrolling can be found starting from here + terrorhuhn discovery
a smart guy could find it and share for us

To speed up scrolling through pics in landscape go to HKLM/Software/HTC/HTCScroll and change "velocity_factor". It's set at 10000 and I've changed it to 20000. You might want to set it to 40000 just to see the increase in speed and then back it down from there. This setting will also increase scrolling speed in, among other things, the favorites tab, internet tab, and increase scrolling through albums in the music tab while in landscape. This tweak may very well be the one in HD Tweak, I'm not sure, but whatever the case, you can set it how you like.

HD2 will NOT ROTATE display clockwise !!

Hey guys !
I really hope there is a simple answer to this strange phenomenon!
Just bought an HTC HD2 ROM 1.48.707 (WWE) unlocked & it simply does not rotate clockwise in the rotate-enabled applications no matter what I ve tried.
HOWEVER it does rotate counter-clockwise.
If someone knows anything about it or of an app that checks the g-sensor or be able to adjust its sensitivity, please help me out here!
NOTE: When I calibrate the G-sensor everything seems to work fine & testing by playing the teeter game is OK.
Thanks for answering

From what I can tell, the HD2 doesnt rotate clockwise natively. I'm sure theres a registry tweak or an installable hack for it, but as a right-handed fellow rotating counter-clockwise is all I need so I haven't looked into it.
edit: found some info in another topic:
"http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=589305"
or
"you could try using gyrator"
I have no idea how these 2 solutions are - again I haven't tested them

Did try with BSB Tweaks & it did what it was supposed to do, that is enable/disable rotation for any application. HOWEVER, clockwise rotation is still a NO-GO & the program does not include a sensitivity tweak....
I will try gyrator...

You should try Gyrator 2. It works .

ChangeScreen v2.78 & Gyrator 2 seem to solve the problem. This should help left-handed people too.. Thanx

Has anyone figured out how to get this working without Gyrator / ChangeScreen?
I can say with complete certainty that rotating to both left and right used to work with my Rhodium.
Same ROM (NRG) and same G-Config List.

I'm also interested in this solution as my car holder presses accidentally the volume key. counter-clockwise this problem would be minimized or removed comletely!

Me too!
stranger still, I used to be able to rotate in both directions without Gerator or anything. Just now suddenly it fails clockwise...
