Hi all! I do not know if this is the right place to ask but anyway, here's my question, is there an android app that auto rotates for specific apps. Like let's say, I want to open up PDF viewer in landscape mode instead of portrait...

Hi all,
Just a quick question. Is there anyway that you know of that you can use your Magician in Landscape mode but keep the phone in portrait mode. I love the landscape for everything else but I find the phone is much easier to use with one hand in portrait. Is there a registry tweak I can use or something like that?I really appreciate any help you might give and I thank you in advance.
Crazy or wot? How will the screen sizes match, then you need scroll bars and you keep scrolling on your screen and also the left out space being blank looks akward.. Anyway, this option cannot be done..

Carty..
And cleartype is also not supported in Landscape and so it basically sux.

I think you misunderstand what imapfsr is asking for. Basically, what he needs is for the magician to switch orientation when he brings the phone app up.
You can do this (sort of) by using MortButtons where you can select the oriention of each app in the menu. BUT, the problem is if you use a task switcher then you will have to switch orientation manually. And, I think, if you get a phone call whilst in landscape mode, that it will stay in landscape mode.
I'd like to always have my Titan in landscape mode, and I'd like it to stay that way even when I open and close the keyboard. My old Apache did the same annoying thing - you can switch to landscape mode in the Settings > System > Screen, but as soon as you open and close the keyboard it switches right back to portrait.
Surely there is SOME way to make the phone stay in landscape, right?
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks!

theres a exe file out there called landscaper that allows the phone to always switch to landscape mode. When you wake the phone up or slide the keyboard the screen will change back to portrait but only briefly (you can set the amount of time in the options menu if you set it to 0 its pretty quick that it goes back to landscape). You will have to either put it in the start up folder or manually start the program each time after a soft reset. I personally just settled on mapping a hard key to rotate the screen and find this easier and quicker. Google Landscaper exe and Im sure you'll find it, if not PM me and I can send it to you. (dont think I can attach it here)
sorry didn't know this one posted!

me 2! man this is great
it goes back to portrait when you open and close the keyboard, plus it doesn't work after a soft reset--reverts back to portrait.

There's apps that let you change the orientation of the screen. Just set one to a hardware button. Sometimes you have to work with what you're given.
thanks. i asked for this before and got some snooty replies, glad not everyone is like that
hey after using the app i dont like it no more i want to just keep it in landscape no changing to portrait then back to landscape that takes to much time please help if this is possible

You get snooty replies because you ask questions a simple search could answer and you do it in inappropriate forums with a statement in the title instead of a question. Simple as that.
Obviously not a perfect solution, but much better than before. Thank you!

Putting it in your start up folder will solve the issue with the soft resets. If you play with the settings within this app you can set it to automatically revert to landscape when you open/close the keyboard, takes about 2 secs to switch and switch back but no invertvention is neccesary on your part once this feature is enabled.

WOW...you can find it at Windows\startup
lanscape mode with no downloads...
well, you guys must be talking about something else, because last time i checked. you dont have to download anything to achieve this..
all you have to do is go to start\settings\system tab\screen and there it is... you can change it to landscape mode for a righty or a lefty!!:

....and once you change it and open and close the keyboard it reverts to portrait. the idea of this thread is to make it start and stay in landscape constantly.
oh, i see what your saying!!
my bad!!!!!!!!!!
Locking the mogul in landscape
Isnt there a registery hack or something that could accomplish this.. The HTC Tilt already has this function and it is basically the same design.
I am a text addict and my fingers move faster then the phone... It would seem that there should be a way to override the hardware switch on the keyboard.
I am not familiar enough with the registery to finger this out... but if someone out there is familiar with the registery...

I did a few registry searches and changes looking for it and didn't find it. So I figured I'd search. That's why I referred you to this thread.
I will keep watching this thread.. I apprecate the assist...
If anyone comes up with a better solution... Please share it... THanks

I have TomTom 7 and would like to either get it running in Landscape mode or get another application that runs in landscape.
What does everyone recommend.

Paul,
the program you are looking for are Gsen or gyrator, please do a search on screen rotation before you post.
and..
I was also hoping to get some info regarding navigation applications that nativity operate in landscape.
Tomtom rotated would be good but not optimized for wide screen.
Thanks

actualy tomtom rotated looks mighty fine on my touch hd, the map is not stretched. you get to see more map on both sides due to the wide screen.
i don't know if there are any winmobile gps applications that natively renders in landscap. but that could be me.
I have TomTom 7 and use Gyrator 2 with no problem at all.
is there a way to have a manual rotation?

you have to enable a settings on the registry, you can find it in a topic near to this one
i suggest to you to try also gsen to enable "auto" rotation anc IGO8 to use a better navigation software!

Google for AEButtonPlus. I use it to rotate my screen clockwards when I press and hold the volume button. No need to switch applications or anything.
Hi, i have searched the forums and the web for thius "app"
i have it in a rom, it is a little app in the start menu which allows you to rotate the screen from portrait to landscape and back.
(i have seen a programme which rotates 90 degrees each time, which is rubbish)
I hate auto rotate as rotates in things i dont want it to.
i love this app, i can use the phone like anormal phone and when i want to rotate screen - tomtom, video, pictures etc i just open start and tap the button.
(Its in the energy ROM) - what is this lovely little app please? or is it something the ROM chef created? i pm`ed him but no response, understandably as prob gets lots of messages and wants to work on new roms etc.
Cheers
Use AE Button Plus or All at Hand Rotate to manually rotate the screen
http://www.all-at-hand.com/software.php
You can also change the Button (1) in your settings to rotate I think you may have to have HD Tweak installed but thats a good app as well try without first
cheers ,i ll have a look at All at Hand Rotate and see how that feels
Hi all
Im searching for an app that instantly rotates the screen to landscape and back..
no, not an app that toggles auto rotation. i want to assign the app to the call button, that i can turn it manually.
i want to decide by myself when the screen rotates.
this is cause im more and more pissed about the rotation when lying in bed, or walking around. i dont want to always toggle it on and off.. it was so much easier on windows mobile, i could just assign a button, wich instantly rotated my screen.
i googled and searched XDA, but found nothing that suits my needs so far.. :/
would be awsome if someone of you knows an app like this
ty.
btw, i installed the app "button remapper" where i can assign the keys.
but it has no option for rotation, or opening an app, so i just decided to assign it as the search button, so i can customize the key via the ultimate droid options.
now i just need an app wich turns the screen... :3
...bump..?.. :/

Try this.

Or, search for RotateD API in Google. I use the app for my Augen tablet.
