Landscape? - HD2 General

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.

HTC Gsen in More Apps (from TP2)

If you guys didn't see this http://www.fuzemobility.com/?p=2225 the gsensor has now been enabled in a lot of applications without the third party apps (this is HTC's gsen from the TP2 with a mod to the registry). You need to install the attached apps (which come from JMZTaylor of PPCGeeks): http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=58596
You'll get gsen love in email, contacts, IE, calendar, etc and all you do is change the registry values in HKCU\Software\HTC\HTCSENSOR\GSensor\WhiteList to add or remove apps from the gsen list.
Herg is adding a few apps to this list so this will likely be updated shortly.

just causes the screen to rotate
This is cool, thanks.
BUT could you tell me what "Jmz gsensor setup.cab (4.8 KB)" does?
I installed herg62123's cab and it rotates all the simple apps I need, and leaves TF3D alone. Then I installed Jmz gsensor setup.cab and the only change was that TF3D tries to rotate, which I don't want.
seems to have a problem with the HTC Calculator ... it will rotate and go back to the TF3D screen ....
If you install Herg's app that is all you need as it incorporates the cab in the first posting with a few additional applications that herg added (so it rotates in more apps). I have it working on the calculator and it works as expected- it causes rotation. For me it does not force me back to TF3D
I find that S2P will not rotate with this installed.
Anyone has the same issue with me?
This is fantastic, thanks!
I was using Gsen but the tiny white pixel in the top middle really annoyed me. Not sure if it was intentional or not, but it was there when Gsen was active.
This also does not seem to rotate Manilla when the device is locked, as Gsen occasionally did.
Also much quicker to rotate.
I have tried Gyrator2, Gsen and this one, and this is easily the best one to use on the THD.
I can rotate almost everything with the new sdk; however i have problems with spb wallet: it rotates only if i keep it opened for half an hour in background (seems the sdk takes the whole life to recognize this module is running).
Btw:
- class for .net apps is #NETCF_AGL_BASE_
- wildcard (*) is allowed as window class name
apparently, for me, it doesn't work at all .....
i tried turning on the camera, once i turn it sideways, it will minimise the camera and go back to TF3D.... ditto for calculator, and any screen that it rotates .... it will minimise the current screen and push me back to TF3D home page ...
anybody else having this problem?
hello i need some help i install the Jmz Diamond2 G-Sensor.cab and Jmz gsensor setup.cab. nothing happen when try to sent sms it still didn't rotate actually nothing rotate. i reread the form i think im missing this part "HKCU\Software\HTC\HTCSENSOR\GSensor\WhiteList". I new at this so i don't know what it mean or how to do it. If that not the problem then anyone know why it didn't rotate after the 2 cab file i install. Thx for Help

Landscape in Diamond 2?

I have searched heaven and hell to find a way to get the D2 running in landscape view, that is for it to switch to landscape view when you rotate the screen. So far I have found apps that allows everything but manilla and its tabs (including home page) run in landscape.
Is there a way to do this?

You can make use of the Topaz drivers itself to do auto-rotation. You do not need to install additional application running in background.
There're some registry editings to be done. Nevertheless, you can use this application to help you enter those into the whitelist. You need to soft-reset after inputting all the applications you'd like to auto rotate.

I tried that, along with changescreen. I still can't bet the tabs screens to rotate. I don't know what I am doing wrong.

Landscape manila for d2 is more annoying then useful, if you tilt the phone past the tilt point either way (portrait or landscape) it will rotate and take at least half a second to change screen, and it enerally takes more to come back to portrait. This makes it difficult to immediately read stuff or accept calls as the screens changing layout and the buttons end up in different places.
Landscape would only be useful on phones like the pro2 and it's previous variants when you need landscape while the keyboards out. Other than that just make your mail programs etc landscape capable.
There are other threads with reg keys and apps to use, just follow those and see if they give you success.
Cheers,
Scott
Graphics from the manila tabs aka TD2 homescreen are not designed for lanfscape view, therefor its like Scott (post #4) sayd, more annoying than usefull.
Thanks a lot guys. I think I see your point. Funny thing is that it was my recently installed S2U app that drove it home. It was annoying as hell when it kept switching to views.

Enable rotate in HTC Peep

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!

Enable Landscape.cab

Will any of the TMO compatible Enable Landscape.cab work on stock rom with HSPL 2 1024 ? I would like the home screen to go to landscape (stock ROM don't)
BTW: are there any tweaks that we could do ourself to make stock ROM faster like cooked roms? Thanks in advance to everyone.
I believe this is what you are looking for:
TX_Total_Landscape.cab

Right thats why we need a cab to enable it. Just looking for the right one that works with HD2 1024 stock ROM.
anybody have landscape cab with the exception of music & pictures?
The default landscape for music and pics is way better then the hacked landscape.

see my post above. the cab it references works on my HD2, the only drawback is that it rotates all tabs and music and pictures lose their beautiful and in my opinion useful default rotation, but if you uninstall it, everything goes back to normal.

Did you try turning off the rotation in BsB Tweaks, and then installing/using the TX_total cab by itself?

I Just did it, same hapen. The problem is that when in BsB Tweaks - Home/screen rotation is turn off, my writing on sms and e-mail is not in landscape mode.
That is how my screen looks

Hmm....are you on a stock ROM? I'm on the original Tmo stock ROM, I have BsB installed, but I've NEVER activated that rotation, and I use TX_total without any of the issues you see there...
Maybe try uninstalling BsB completely? I really don't know why you're getting that weird behavior now

It will be fixed when update my HD2 I hope

Lost landscape in email??

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.
