Force Landscape mode?

On the Diamond the screen options under settings do not include the Landscape / Portrait wwitch. Is there any way to force the device to Landscape?

you can force Landscape / Portrait with "WisBar Advance"

Or with QuickMenu...

yeah, personally I have this switch mapped to win-logo long press in QuickMenu

Found this, posted somewhere odd

The Touch Diamond does not show the WM screen rotation under settings so we can't manually set rotation for apps like Word, SMS. Here is how to enable it. After you've done the hack, run the app you want to rotate (eg. Word Mobile), then do Start, Settings, System, Screen to set rotation to landscape. The onscreen keyboard is much larger in landscape! When you click the HOME key it will go back to portrait.
Enable Manual Screen Rotation (Portrait/Landscape):
HKLM - System - GDI - Rotation - HideOrientationUI (change from 1 to 0)
Change is immediate effectively. No reboot is required.

confirmed, this works.

HKLM - System - GDI - Rotation :
LandscapeFixed: set to "0" ( default is "1" )
extends options to:
Portrait
Landscape (right-handed)
Landscape (left-handed)

cool, thanks - this is handy for me being lefty; any chance of disabling the right-handed option forever?

You can do just what you want using Mortscript...
And the script should run automatically everytime you reboot your device....

i also set this up. works only on home page. f in an app, i get this new never efore seen menu that says \
Copy
Cut
Paste
Select All
Select all + copy
select all + cut
Undo

If we now can activate it from the system eventually we'll get to know how to use the acceleremoter in whole system or atleast in whole TF3D.

woho, nice to hear that the edit menu works on diamond too, cause it's dunno why not working for me. this is great feature of quickmenu allowing you to manipulate with the clipboard whenever you're in an editbox.

It would be nice to have G-sensor to automatically rotates screen in all apps. I'm sure that there is a way, registry entry perhaps.

You can, using this app:

Works like a charm

1.) Give Google a try and search for TF3D Config!
2.) go to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=430174

keyboard keys dont display as i type

i have resco keyboard and have got used to using it w/keyboard not slid out (portrait mode?). it works fine.
today i wanted to type w/real keys. when i type a key, the text and is not visible--cursur moves as if i just hit space bar. all text is blank.
if im in google, for example, the predictive text is unreadable; if i hit "enter" what i typed is visible as a search.
i need to make settings so i can read as i type and see the predictive text..
EDIT ::
actually, if i'm in internet explorer and touch the "menu" on lower right corner, all the text displays blank also--if i touch on a blank area, it responds.
so i guess my display is acting up while in landscape mode..
i hope this is clear..
any help here?
thanx

Tried a soft reset, yet?

might be related to clear type ... seee if disabling it helps. i know in landscape mode that bug has been noted.

If u have flashe a new wm6.1 rom, u could try to disable cleartype in landscape. Thats the common problem. U can do that in advanced config.

Looks like I am a slow typer.

disabling clear type fixed most things..
Except that :: when i'm on google search bar, the problem persists..
as far as i can tell, thats the only thing wrong. it happens if i use
Resco or physical keyboard..
what else can i do?
thanx
edit : disabled clear type from settings.. fixed everything

Strange problem - invisible text when using keyboard

I've got a really weird problem with my TyTnII. When I use the slide out keyboard and the screen is in landscape orientation, I can't see the text I am typing - probably white on white, but as soon as I close the keyboard I can see what I've typed as the text reverts to black. My TyTn is WM6.1 and the only think I've added apart from some programs is the black dialer CAB.
Any ideas guys? Thanks.

this happened to me yesterday ,,, what fixed mine is this :
from settings > find clear type > disable it..
i tried many things first--didnt much help..
you should try it first..

Many thanks for that advice - problem solved,

I had the same when using Cleartype in landscape mode (enabled with Advanced Configuration Tools or KaiserTweak), but Cleartype only in portrait is OK.

The big question is why ClearType no longer works in Landscape when it worked fine before the WM 6.1 upgrade.

This issue has been reported many, many times before. It is most likely due to added support for direct draw. You would think 6.1 would not add new problems, but it seems to be a trade off between performance or function.

S2U2 for X1

I have install S2U2 on X1

Open up the S2U2 Setting App

it should now work in Landscape mode
Hope this Helps

change displaymode in settings from directdraw to raw buffer, save and klick iLock twice to restart s2u2.

Install the latest version of s2u2 (i think 1.35). I have no problem with this application, even if display setting is set to directdraw!

I'm using 1.35 also
However I did have to change the settings to RawBuffer,
Otherwise, any time I tried to unlock the phone in Landscape mode the screen displayed a scrambled image of the slide screen.
However set as RawBuffer I have no problem at all in Landscape
I posted how to change the settings earlier in this thread, since the change to RawBuffer i have had no issues with S2U2
Glad it works without any setting changes for some people tho

Thanks All of you

Hi,
I've installed s2u2 2.24 on my x1, it works like a charm except that on incoming calls the "normal" windows mobile popup is displayed as well,
it's annoying because it covers a part of the s2u2 incoming call screen,
does anyone know how to disable it?

Clear type disabled in landscape mode?

I use Gyrator and it switches to landscape when I read RSS threads and my emails. I use RealVGA so my font is small mess but it becomes even more so when clear type is switched off in landscape mode automatically. Is this a known issue with the Touch Pro or just Windows mobile in general? Can it be re-enabled through a registry fix? Not a big deal but a small annoyance.

Do not enable ClearType in landscape mode (it can be done through the registry), because you won't see letters when typing!
It is, I suppose, a Windows Mobile bug.

That bug has been addressed in some of the newer builds. You can enable it without problems in some ROMs.

HKLM-System-GDI-ClearTypeSettings value OnOffRotation to be set to zero. Original ROMs has the bug,that you cannot see,what are you typing in LS and menus was bad. Nowadays I have flashed the latest ROMeOS2 v1.80.5 and the problem is gone.
