Ok, maybe it sounds a bit strange, but I'm wondering if there is a way to reverse the direction of the screen rotation?
I always seem to accidentally press the power button when in landscape or my palm presses against the special keys, it's getting annoying. I think it would be easier the other way, and as I use my right thumb more, my left won't contact the screen as much...
I can't be the only one....
Thx!
Cyanogen has a 360 degrees rotation built in the phone options - so anything that can rotate 90, can rotate to the left right and upside-down.

I am looking for a way for landscape to be the default view.
I have tried many things but once the keyboard is opened and closed, the screen goes back to portrait.
Any help would be appreciated.

nope... not doable I guess... there is some app out there that can sense if it's in one mode and switches to another but that basically means u have 2 switches and even more lag... there is no way to keep it on landscape mode I guess because there is some magnetic reaction that happens when u open the keyboard which can't be turned off...
that is just what I read on forums trying to find answer to same problem... i gave up
Thanks for the info.
Is there a way to map this to a hardware button? I know that there are a few programs out there for mapping additional features to the hardware button.
well ya u can map rotate to a button even with regular buttons mapping setting.
Settings - Personal - Buttons
Pick your button and choose Rotate Screen it's one of the first fiew in the list... (sorry if it's not exactly Rotate Screen im running on memory here)
Hi forum
Where can i manually switch between portrait and landscape mode? In WinMobile 2002 there was an icon on the bottom bar that did rotate the screen by 90 degrees. But i don't see it anymore. I don't want to pull out the qwerty keyboard everytime i want to switch to landscape mode. Tanks in advance.
Setting - System - Screen
You are able to assign the screen rotation to a hardware key. So it is only one click to rotate the screen

Use AEBPlus - as far as im aware it is freeware. When I used it I found that it had a very low memory footprint and didnt slow windows down at all (in comparison with say Voice Command). AEBPlus enables you to assign anything to any button, including different states of button press (ie short press, long press, double press). For example I used the camera button half push (which normally controls auto focus) for rotating the screen. If you dont wanna loose your softkeys you could could have single press as softkey, double press as rotate screen have fun!
the problem is that Aeb turns the screen full 360 degrees in 4 steps (starting in the wrong direction)..while the native experia rotate only does the 2 settings you get when you slide it open..which i like more
how assign rotation (Setting-system-screen) to a leftkey
Did you ever get an answer to this? I too would like to know how to assign the landscape/portrait switch to a soft key.
Thanks,
Ian

Softkeys are the two silver looking buttons below the screen.
Too change, go to Start > Settings > Buttons > Select either "Left key" or "Right key" and assign "<Rotate Screen>" via the dropdown menu below.

If you go to Options -> Screen Orientation and select only 0 and 270 degrees, it will work like you want.

I'm pretty sure softkeys are the functions shown on the bottom of the screen. The two silver buttons are called left and right button usually I guess.
Often those keys will press the corresponding softkey, but they can be programmed to do other things with software like AEB+.
My bad, I meant left/right key. I do know the difference, I just had not had my coffee yet. thanks for the info!
Hi,
All my applications have a Landscape orientation with hard buttons of my HD2 on the Right.
Is it possible to change this orientation to have Landscape orientation with hard buttons on the right, for all applications?
Or, is it possible to change the orientation for only one application, say TomTom?
by advance, thanks for yours answers.
I think it makes a lot of sense to have hard buttons on the left (I guess you made a mistake in your question). There are at least two reasons:
1. When typing, left thumb covers light sensor, so screen is dimmed.
2. Arrow keys on landscape keyboard are on the right side. Now you have to reach across both them and hard keys, with your right hand. If rotation was 90 degrees, keyboard would be more centered, so all keys would be easier to reach.
I tried searching the registry, but without success. So, I'm looking for the same thing. How to change UI orientation so that phone can be used in right/clockwise landscape orientation?

I agree with this post. I would like to know how to change the screen oritntation clockwise so the sensor is on the upper right corner when you are using it.
When I open landscape-only programs, the screen rotates such that I need to turn the note counter-clockwise 90 degrees. That seems odd, since the volume and off buttons are on the left side of the phone. I am right-handed, and my natural inclination is to hold the phone with my left hand and use my right with the touchscreen. It would be better for me if I could rotate the phone clockwise so that I didn't have to worry about pushing buttons with my left hand. I didn't see anything for this in the settings menus, and a quick web search didn't turn up anything. Is there a way to change the preferred landscape direction? Thanks!
is there a way to alter the screen rotate sensitivity? would like to add like a delay before the screen rotates. for some reason sometimes just laying the phone down or picking it up causes it to go in landscape mode. tried to calibrate, little change.
would be much easier if i could add/remove the apps that can use landscape mode.. is there such a setting or mod?
I haven't heard of such a setting, but there is smart rotation. It adds a little bit of a delay, and it adjusts the phone's orientation to your eyes.
