Problem: Cleartype is on in Landscape

Hi
I've tried MrClean 2.24a and the latest 2.26 T-Mo ROM and they have the same weird bug: as soon as I use either Tweaks 2k2 or Registry Wizard, Cleartype starts working in landscape mode. I did *not* check "enable cleartype in landscape mode" in either applications and the OffOnRotation registry key's value *is* 1 in the registry (I know, weird). The problem is, that I don't want cleartype in landscape, only in portrait......what do I mess up?

Anyone?

ClearType

One side-effect of this latest Dopod-gps-rom is that ClearType is disabled, and there's no control panel applet for it.
I have set the correct registry values to enable it nonetheless, but it gets disabled again after soft-reset.
Is there any way to permanently enable cleartype, or to stop the soft-reset changing these values? Where do I start to look, extended rom?
thanks!
Edit:
* Solved: I was looking for ClearType applet, but this setting is also in Settings|System|Screen|ClearType
* Solved also for Landscape modus: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=15688

Make sure you made the change to the following registry key
\HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell
Change the value for NoClearType from 1 to 0.
This unlocks the ClearType option.
You may then go to Today->Settings->System->Screen. Now the ClearType tab is shown and you can enable it there.

Reverse rotation registry key

Hi all I am using this registry modification
HKLM/System/GDI/Rotation and put HideOrientationUI at 0 in order to used the landscape mode link to a button. All is working well but I have an issue with tomtom.
I need to have a reverse landscape and not a normal landscape with this button
But I don't know which modification I need to do (a dword for example ....) in order to change the way of the rotation Is there a nice programmer able to help me
Thanks

I would like to know this as well...
I'm sure somone here knows what has to be done!

You probably won't need this if you're using tilt screen and similar product. Just tick 0 and 90 degrees as allowed orientation, and untick the 270 degree.

I used advanced config, set it to 90 degrees
Works a treat, when I use Excel or any other application I can scroll easier avoiding hitting the hardware buttons ie call/end buttons.

Perfect! Thanks!

I have found the registry key to move
it's HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\Rotation\LandscapeMode and move the dword value from 4 to 1
Now my new question is how to make two shortcuts able to change the value of this registry key automaticaly. I tried to make a .reg but when I launched it it's only opening my regedit software but nothing happen in the WM6 registry.
Someone could help me
Thanks

Rotate screen possible without slideout ?

Hello everyone,
i've been trying several roms since few days.. and love them all
appreciate all the work you guys do, but i have this one little thing that i wish i had.
Why do i need to use the keyboard to go to landscape? is there no other option?
(i cant seem to find it..)
So i would like my screen to always rotate in every app when i rotate the phone.. (g-sensor rotate is on, but hardly ever works auto) OR have a key or app that i can use that overrules the sensor and just let me choose landscape mode.
Because the auto rotate doesnt seem to do that for most programs untill you slide the keyboard out. but i dont need my keyboard...
examples: i like tomtom in landscape, but not with the keyboard slide out!
(that way it wont fit in my carkit..)
and i want to be able to rotate a movie or tekst message whenever i want to..
etc etc.. (with the g-sensor OR some key or APP or something else)
or is the answer: its impossible? can hardly believe that, because it seems so easy to do.
thanks for any help

Search for ChangeScreen or G-Config.
Or set Send Key to rotate manually:
HKLM/System/GDI/Rotation change the "HideOrientationUI" from 1 to 0
Now you van remap the Send Key to do this on long press. [FONT=&quot][/FONT]

use this cab to rotate TF3d with out the keyboard
than use the g config app to add other programs to the rotate list, once you add the cab or any program using g config you have to soft reset for them to work
edit i have tom tom and adding it to g config app work great in landscape

very very nice
works like a charm with not much lag.
thank you.

just to let you know what i found as my final solution (for now) after lots of trying different roms:
i read somewhere here, (cant find it anymore) about setting the hardware "back" key to rotate screen on double click...
so no auto rotating anymore, only when i want to, with this tool:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=554240
Together with the ROM:
Phoenix 2 Sense 2.1 EnergyROM_28011_RHODIUM_07.Dec.2009_Standard.rar
it all works like a charm.. manila rotates very quick and everything else.
rom has start button on bottom and standard 4 columns in programs, nice agenda in landscape, yes i like this one
coreplayer works good.. no accidental rotates etc
i can just lay in bed and watch my favorite movie without troubles.
tomtom in widescreen in my car etc etc
thank you all for this superb forum

Try these Registry Settings
1. HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila -> add a new String Value with the name "EnableLandscape" and the value "true" (both without "")
2. HKCU\Software\HTC\HTCSENSOR\GSensor\ModuleName -> add a new String Value with the name "TF3D" and the value "\Windows\manila.exe" (both without "")
3. HKCU\Software\HTC\HTCSENSOR\GSensor\WhiteList -> add a new String Value: Name: "TF3D Value: "Manila" (both without "")
4. Change HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila DisableRotation value to 0 from 1.
5. Softreset

Search for flip_IT, found it in topaz forum, burried somewhere. It works awesome with WM6.5.x builds.

i used this clever little addin and made a shortcut in start menu n quicklaunch panel enjoy !
but as i found some programs will no look right when used in landscape mode.

Homescreen quicklink fonts look bad

How come the fonts on the quicklink names look so bad? Is there any way to get them to look better?

My friend has the Droid Incredible with a very similar HCT Sense home screen but the Icons and weather text looks much better. The fonts on HD2 look like they are being resized and not at their default size.

turn on cleartype

The HCT Sense home screen and or Windows Mobile has a cleartype setting? Do tell...
It already looks blurry and that's what cleartype does right? I've removed it from Windows 7 and Internet Explorer as it gives me a headache.

cleartype stops it looking pixely/grainy. works well on our screen
It can be found at
settings - menu - all settings - system - screen - cleartype tab.
if you cant find the screen settings ( i think they were off by default in the tmous rom) you can turn it on by creating the reg key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\CLEARTYPE
thats all key, there doesnt need to be any values of any type in there. If that key exists, cleartype is on.

I had just found this and it makes it look diferent but still pixely/grainy:
"By default, the cleartype has been disabled in HD2 ROM. Add this to the registry \HKLM\System\GDI\ClearType\ClearType as DWord Value is 1 '
"You can additionally enable cleartype in landscape mode by setting the following key to 0 though: HKLM/System/GDI/ClearTypeSettings/OffOnRotation '

All you have to do is go to the registry. Edit hklm\ControlPanel\Pen\ ... Change the value of hide from 1 to 0. Save and reboot the phone. Then go to settings/all settings/screen and on the Clear type tab choose enable. Reboot and you'll see the fonts the way you want to now.
That was my biggest gripe with the phone for sure.
