Hi all,
I wonder if anyone can help. In the SBP panel there's a nice 'rotate screen' button under the tool menu.
Now i've got TFL3D installed and would like a quick way to rotate screen (I use TomTom7 and the phone is held in a generic car holder horizontally)
I liked to rotate the screen quickly then start up tom tom (As the onscreen keyboard is thumbable when horizontal)
Now using TFL3D there's no quick way (you have to goto start menu/settings/system/screen)
I was wondering is there anyway it can be installed as a program somehow and added to the program page?....Thoughts?
Thanking you in advance.
What I did is I made one of my silver hard buttons be a Portrait/Landscape toggle button.
To do this, go to Start --> Settings --> Personal tab --> Buttons
Now you can choose the left or right silver key, and under "Assign a program" you can pick "<Rotate Screen>".
By pressing it and re-orienting the phone at the same time, I accidentally fooled a friend into thinking that it has an accelerometer lol cuz he didn't notice me pressing it.
too bad we can only map 2 keys... I want to remap camera and panel button

Yeh, I did think of that, but I prefer the mappings of my hard buttons to be 'more useful' i.e. something that I use all the time, rather than the rotate function.
I was primarily asking if an .exe could be written that would rotate the screen, I then could install it as a program and add to the program screen.
Does any of the programmers here think that's possible? (I'm gonna admit that this is kind of a begging post)

Regesteryyyy?
so..nobody has any ideas then?
I use AE Button Plus to map double clicking the camera button (pressed just lightly, not enough to take a picture) to rotate the screen.
The line in AEBPlus.cfg is
Key 00c5 a0000 a0015 a0000 a0000
...though you can also go through the File menu and select Add button.
The default action for the button is nothing, so it's a good choice for something like this.

First, download and install Mortscript via http://www.sto-helit.de/index.php?module=page&entry=ms_overview&action=view&menu=29
Second, create a file tomtom.mscr that contains the following script:
Code:
If ( ProcExists("TomTom Navigator.exe") )
Show("TomTom Navigator")
Else
Run( "\Program Files\Navigator\TomTom Navigator.exe" )
EndIf
Sleep(1000)
If (ExternalPowered())
Rotate 270
EndIf
Third, create a shortcut in \Windows\Start Menu\Programs to this tomtom.mscr file.
And if you want a nice TomTom-icon for your shortcut, change the shortcut file to:
Code:
24#"\My Documents\tomtom.mscr"?\Program Files\Navigator\TomTom Navigator.exe,-0
(my tomtom.mscr is in \My Documents)
After this you have a shortcut to start TomTom if not started yet, to quickly show TomTom if already started, and it will automatically rotate the screen if it is charging in your car holder.

Awesome! Works a treat, thank you so much
is there a way to place a button on the screan in the menu bar or start dropdown that will let you manually rotate the screan on the diamond?
whats wrong with the hardware button?
Rotate Screen
Couldn't find the registry tweaks I used to do this and map the Long Send key to rotate when I want...but you can try this:

Hardware Button
After reading post #2 remembered
Start>Settings>Buttons Go to bottom and select assign program and scroll to <Rotate Screen>
Now when you hold your send key it manually rotates the screen
Jim
yea I did that but for some reason more times than not, when I use the send key it sometimes just goes back to the home screen. Is there a way to put a touch screen button on the screen so I can just tap it?

Any idea why I don't have a <Rotate Scree> option on my Sprint Diamond?
You need to enable it in the registry
HKLM\System\GDI\Rotation\HideOrientationUI - change value to 0

I believe there is an option in advanced config or diamond tweak that enables this as well, can't remember which one. I use them both...

Did you also make the registry change mentioned in post #7 and look in Programs/Tools...you should have a Rotate Screen icon you can use.

I did but I don't see the icon that you speak of. If you have a direction you can point me in I would appreciate it.

nice trick, dunno why htc chose to disable it ^^ here's a cab for the lazy:
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
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="][/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.
Before I installed S2U2 my phone used to lock my just pressing the end call/power button. now i have un-installed it it does not work.
The only way i can lock the phone now is by pressing the window button, and tapping the lock softkey
or
pressing and holding the physical power button and the lock device.
Can anyone tell me how to get this working again?
as i want to try the hd mini lock screen

Using a registry editor go to:
HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd
and change DeviceLockWhenSuspend from 0 to 1
where do i get a registry editor cab from?
mate... use google!
there are many different registry editors for windows mobile.
I use dotfreds task manger as my main registry editor but you may not like it as it is quite fiddly (not very finger friendly).
PHM registry editor is a good one as is IBE registry editor.... there are loads!
