is there a way to alter the screen rotate sensitivity? would like to add like a delay before the screen rotates. for some reason sometimes just laying the phone down or picking it up causes it to go in landscape mode. tried to calibrate, little change.
would be much easier if i could add/remove the apps that can use landscape mode.. is there such a setting or mod?
I haven't heard of such a setting, but there is smart rotation. It adds a little bit of a delay, and it adjusts the phone's orientation to your eyes.

Can someone please help me tweak the setting which makes the screen rotate from landscape to portrait when the screen gets slid back over the keyboard.
I have a hardware button mapped to rotate the screen. I often use the unit in landscape and when doing so I occasionally want access to the keyboard. So I slide the screen up, type whatever I want to type, then slide it back. It's very annoying that doing so forces the screen back to portrait.
The behaviour I want is this:
[When in portrait] sliding open causes rotation to landscape.
[When in landscape] sliding open changes nothing.
[When in landscape] sliding closed changes nothing (currently it causes rotation to portrait).
1 & 2 are the default behaviours. Is it possible to keep them and add 3?
I think I have stumbled accross a solution to your problem.
I use VJOkButt from www.vijay.com mapped to the top right hardware button. This closes rather than minimses the currnet app when pressed. Anyway to achieve your option 3 all I do is Press the camera hardware button, this switches you to Landscape. If you click on the X to close the camera app the screen returns to portrait but if you press the hardware button mapped to VJOkButt the camera closes but the screen remains in landscape. Best of all opening or closing the keyboard does not change screen orientation. You can still manually change orientation back to Portrait from Settings>Screen. Soft reset will return to original functionality e.g. slide the keyboard to change orientation.
Hope this works for you.

Guys, anyone using VJOkButt should upgrade to this version, v0.73:
http://www.vijay555.com/vj/Releases/VJOkButt/VJOkButt.exe
I introduced a memory leak in 0.72 and tracked it down this lunch time. I haven't cabbed this up yet, because I'm still testing, but it should be more reliable (long term) then 0.72 which is available on my site at the moment.
Also one bug - I've made the window closing slightly too severe, so occassionally it will close a small dialog AND it's parent. This is only in isolated circumstances, but I'll fix this ASAP.

Sorry mate I'm having a typo day today
www.vijay555.com it is.
Thanks for your hard work.
I appreciate the effort you you put in to improving life for the PDAphone community. Programming is a dark art to me but I would love to learn. I used to break out in a sweat just with simple dos scripts.

I am looking for a way for landscape to be the default view.
I have tried many things but once the keyboard is opened and closed, the screen goes back to portrait.
Any help would be appreciated.
-bridic-
nope... not doable I guess... there is some app out there that can sense if it's in one mode and switches to another but that basically means u have 2 switches and even more lag... there is no way to keep it on landscape mode I guess because there is some magnetic reaction that happens when u open the keyboard which can't be turned off...
that is just what I read on forums trying to find answer to same problem... i gave up
Thanks for the info.
Is there a way to map this to a hardware button? I know that there are a few programs out there for mapping additional features to the hardware button.
well ya u can map rotate to a button even with regular buttons mapping setting.
Settings - Personal - Buttons
Pick your button and choose Rotate Screen it's one of the first fiew in the list... (sorry if it's not exactly Rotate Screen im running on memory here)
Hi,
All my applications have a Landscape orientation with hard buttons of my HD2 on the Right.
Is it possible to change this orientation to have Landscape orientation with hard buttons on the right, for all applications?
Or, is it possible to change the orientation for only one application, say TomTom?
by advance, thanks for yours answers.
I think it makes a lot of sense to have hard buttons on the left (I guess you made a mistake in your question). There are at least two reasons:
1. When typing, left thumb covers light sensor, so screen is dimmed.
2. Arrow keys on landscape keyboard are on the right side. Now you have to reach across both them and hard keys, with your right hand. If rotation was 90 degrees, keyboard would be more centered, so all keys would be easier to reach.
I tried searching the registry, but without success. So, I'm looking for the same thing. How to change UI orientation so that phone can be used in right/clockwise landscape orientation?

I agree with this post. I would like to know how to change the screen oritntation clockwise so the sensor is on the upper right corner when you are using it.
Ok, maybe it sounds a bit strange, but I'm wondering if there is a way to reverse the direction of the screen rotation?
I always seem to accidentally press the power button when in landscape or my palm presses against the special keys, it's getting annoying. I think it would be easier the other way, and as I use my right thumb more, my left won't contact the screen as much...
I can't be the only one....
Thx!
Cyanogen has a 360 degrees rotation built in the phone options - so anything that can rotate 90, can rotate to the left right and upside-down.
I hate auto rotate on my Evo4g. Is there any app out there or way to make a gesture rotate the screen? I know there are tons of apps that will put a auto rotate toggle widget on the screen, but I have to hit that before I go into a program I would like to rotate, and the back off again when i am done with that program. Does anyone know of anything that will allow me to manually rotate the screen while in an application? I like how I could just hold down a button for a few seconds on my old windows phone and it would rotate the screen. It seems simple enough, but I can't find anything. It would be nice to hold the menu button on the evo down for a few seconds and have that rotate the screen....
