I have had my Tmobile HD2 for a week now and am loving it. However, am I crazy? I could have sworn that I was able to rotate to landscape in the email application. I just got done installing CHTE Editor and Cookie's Home Tab. They work like a dream. But noticed today that i can no longer landscape in email. I have searched the forums and the settings and can't find an answer. Landscape works in everything else it is supposed to.
Is it gone for good?
First Winmo phone so sorry if I am missing something simple.
install BSB Tweaks or one of the other countless programs out there that let you add rotation to programs (or do it yourself via registry tweak)
That did it.
Thanks. That worked just fine.

Hi, I am the new owner of a touch hd and wanted to know what my best option was for landscape texting and if their was any auto-rotate landscape texting available? even if their is no auto-rotate, can anyone direct me to my best option for landscape texting? thanks

Hi !! 24 hours HD owner and I adore it. Actually I found a cool application called Gyrator2 , it switches to landscape and rotate screen depending on how you hold the device ( like iphone ). Check it : http://gyrator.brins0.net/?page=downloads
you can try the new GSen from the Touch Pro 2: http://www.fuzemobility.com/gsen-now-enabled-in-more-apps/
you can add individual applications to the list as well but it works on most applications without any need to add more: http://www.mobilitydigest.com/gain-more-control-of-the-gsen-apps-tp2-edition/
I've used this on a Touch HD and it works
I have tried gsen.
At the moment im am using Dutty's 2.1 Extreme ROM and far as i know manilla should work in lanscape too.
Rotating Manilla seems to be disabled in gsen and i read that i need to add some registry keys in HKCU\Software\HTC\HTCSENSOR\GSensor\.
I dont really understand how that keys need to look like to make it work. Does anyone else had success?
Edit:
Just found out how it works.
You could also try ChangeScreen...
You could also try ChangeScreen which is my personal favourite as I find it easier to configure than Gyrator:

Hi there,
I'm trying to get HTC Peep to rotate so I can type in a similar fashion to text messages. I tried adding it to BSB Tweaks rotation thing but it added the start menu, not Peep. And I can't work out how to get Gyrator 2 to do what I want...
Any help?
I'm afraid Peep is one of the things that won't currently rotate. Using PLToggle (in my sig) forces rotation when you do a long-hold on the call button and you can instantly see which apps work and which don't.
You'll probably have to wait for a newer version of manila before you can do this mate.
Ive been trying to do the same thing - and yes, BSB keeps thinking I want the start menu rotated (which is cool too, but not correct).
Gave up for now!
Hi, not sure where to post this, but I searched all over the forums for a possible solution to this problem I'm having. When I tilt my phone, I wanted it to display in landscape mode during the htc sense tabs, so I applied rotation to them via BsB Tweaks.
Everything works fine except when I rotate when I'm the music or photos tab. As you can see in the attached photos, they don't rotate to landscape correctly.
Is there a fix to this? Maybe I need to change some registry values?
I'm using a TMOUS HD2 with EVO rom. Thanks in advance.
I don't know if it'll work on the ROM you're using, but the attached cab is what I'm using on my stock ROM, and it rotates to landscape just fine, in all tabs, including pics and music.
I have had a similar problem if I exit from Opera 10 while it is still in landscape mode. I have to rotate it back to portrait and then exit. Opera 9 was fine in this respect.
I am running the Tmo stock ROM with no landscape mods for reference.

I'm having the same problem as this, but I'm still on the regular tmous rom. I'm using changescreen_inst_v2.5....everything works great except for the music tab. has anyone figure out a solution to this problem?
use tx_total_landscape that is posted above... i have installed it on stock TMO US ROM, Kumar's latest ROM, NRGZ28 and Sergio76 ROM's. No problems and it works great. If it doesnt rotate automatically at first, just press home when in landscape and it should switch. Only happens to me the first time I rotate the phone after install, after that all is well.
Isn't the HD2 screen supposed to change to landscape, when you turn it sideways?
I have not been able to get it to do that once. It always remains portrait.
I have tried turning it in both directions. I also did the "calibrate G-Sensor" thing in Settings, and it appeared to calibrate correctly.
Newest stock T-Mo rom, phone just received yesterday.
Suggestions?
Search would have been your friend on this question.
Tmous HD2 doesn't go to landscape on the home screen as shipped. The picture and music tabs should. There is a cab to enable it for all tabs (including home) or you can use BSB tweaks. I prefer BSB tweaks.

Just tried it with music. Didn't work.
First, turn off the landscape option in BsB, then try the cab I have attached here
Thanks Sir Phunkee.
Just today, I finally got the landscape option to work in the Music and Recent Documents tab. And using BSB, I was able to add the option to a couple apps.
How does your cab work? Does it automatically add the landscape option to all apps?

It's more to add rotation to all the sense tabs...but I think it does add it to a few apps too (file explorer, for example)...but I can't remember for sure.
hi,
i installed Kenia V Rom (WM 6.1, Sense 2.5).
I would like to disable totally any autorotate.
I tried in a lot of ways:
- installing programs (flipit, changescreen, gyrator)
- using programs and tweeks in the rom
- using some reg keys (local>software>htc>htcsensor; and other keys)..
....
...but i can't disable autorotation in album...after soft reset, the key "local>software>htc>htcsensor>gsensor deviceAvailability" (that i set to 0) come back to 1.....
any ideas?
thanks
MOD EDIT - Thread moved to General discussion forum as not related to rom development
With apologies to thread starter, I want to do the opposite! I want to have everything on my Touch HD rotate as I use it in the car landscape. The last thing I found would do this is MaxManila but nothing since and MaxSense does not support landscape.
For example, using Energy ROM with CHT, 21908 / 2015 10 Jul 10, this has rotate screen so I get into car, rotate to landscape fine, start satnav which is landscape OK, then someone calls me, phone answers in landscape then switches (without me doing anything) to portrait, finish phone call and now satnav has switched to portrait. Aargh. Where/how can I find something that just sets autorotate everything = on without having to set every single bloody application separately.
gyrator 2 does that.
and it is free and easy to set up.

From memory, Gyrator was one of the apps cooked into one of the many ROMS I tried since the last MaxManila one. I had to set each and every application I wanted to be landscape. Such a PITA, I never bothered. Plus it didn't seem to work OK with dialler (or I couldn't find how).
I just checked today on the Gyrator 2 thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=427805&page=132 and the developer himself said
I've moved over to the Android platform now, with an Acer Liquid, so when I've finished things up with my thesis, I'll likely be making programs for it. As such, it's unlikely I'll be adding new features to Gyrator

So I am not sure I want to get used to an app which is no longer supported - I can see a time when next ROM I flash, Gyrator stops working...
I don't understand why autorotate was so easy with MaxManila and almost impossible with everything else? It is very difficult to find answers (try searching for rotate or landscape and you get so many irrelevant results - it's like searching google for "and").
Surely I can't be the only person visiting this forum who has satnav working in landscape while in the car?
the newest gyrator version has a general rotation implemented, meaning, it will turn the display in ANY program by default, the only thing, you'd need to set up are programs, that you don't want to turn, like phone or coreplayer...
Thank you. The latest version on his site I can find is Version 2008.12.10 r1 - is that the one you mean?
I do need the dialler to rotate also, because if the Touch HD is landscape in the car and the phone rings....
yepp, that's the one. at the very top of this page: http://gyrator.brins0.net/?page=downloads
