Hi guys, Happy Easter! Currently I am typing from my D2, so I'm not able to search for a good fix due to slow wi-fi connection. That's why I'm asking any of you that already knows how to make my screen auto rotate. I am using windows 6.5 and I can't remember which rom, tough it's a very simple one. At this point my image won't auto rotate when moving the phone, so games like Rock Band won't work. Opera and other few programs auto rotate plus games that are made only on landscape. The problem is I can't find the auto rotate setting or program, only a setting that makes me choose landscape/portrait. I changed my whole menu to landscape and Rock Band still doesn't work. Can anyone help me?
Thank you

There is an auto rotate app here. I have not tested it so I can't confirm that it will work on your ROM.
You can also try the attached GSensor cab.
Another thing you can do use the Topaz keyboard control app and set rotate to one of your buttons.

Thanks. The first program is working grrreat! Though not for Calculator. I've added and removed it from the list and rebooting my mobile and Calculator doesn't rotate.

The app must support rotation and you could also set one of your buttons on double\triple\ or long press to rotate screen left or right with the kybrd cnfg....

I just installed TomTom 6 on my Diamond, all is working well but I can't seem to force the display to rotate 90 degrees to landscape orientation.
On my Wizard I always programmed one of my hardware buttons to <rotate screen>. There's only one button to program (the green phone button) on the Diamond, but the <rotate screen> option is not available!
Any thoughts?
Have you tried to install SPB pocket plus and use the built-in shortcut to rotate the screen? It should work... or so i hope
with QuickMenu.

Wow nice app!
Ill try it out on my wife's Diamond to see if it will force rotate (and hopefully remain rotated after a reboot/restart).
I was hoping on a more elegant solution, other than having to install a whole new app just to enable screen rotation!
You know what, I'll fire up the WM6 SDK and program a TT6 launcher myself Let me know if anyone's interested so we can gather some tips and other useful input on this.
I used quicktime but it messed up my taskbar, my close programs icon was gone
needed to hard reset
I can't seem to be able to find a satisfactory solution for setting the screen orientation.
Personally I don't really like to use the g-sensor for screen orientation. It doesn't seem sensitive enough and there is that delay before it rotates. Also, when holding the Diamond in my lap or resting on a table, it lies too flat for the sensor to rotate the screen. Actually, even when I hold the diamond straight up and tilt it, Opera doesn't always rotate. Sometimes shaking it a bit does the trick, but not always. Maybe I have a bad g-sensor, but I'd still prefer other solutions.
I think what would suit me best is to have a hardware button to toggle between portrait and landscape. I have tried mapping the call button using tweak 21, but it's not working with all apps, at least not with Opera (build 1938).
I'm curious about bepes Gnes, where you can pre-define screen orientation for different apps. However, AFAIK, Gnes only comes with bepes ROM and there's no CAB. Gnes could work well for me, as I always use apps where I input text (SMS, e-mail, Notes) in landscape to be able to use the wider full qwerty keyboard. Opera is trickier, as I would like to be able to change orientation there.
Are there any other options?
How have you solved this?
First, enable landscape mode using the registry tweak.
Then map the long press call button to landscape as a manual toggle button.
Works well for me.

Problem is, when I use this in Opera, I get to thrown out to the browser tab in TF3D.

Do you mean that this works well for you, even in Opera?
If so, what ROM and what Opera build are you using?
Any input on this would be appreciated.
I have been looking through all the settings on the D2 to manually change the screen to landscape as I used to be able to do on the Touch cruise but without success the G-Sensor is a bit of a hit and miss and only works on some programmes. I would like to use landscape with Navigon 7 anyone know how to do this ?
The TF3D interface does not work in landscape on default, there is an app available for it here
you can go to settings>all settings>system tab>screen and change the orientation, somehow this only works one time for me, it just changes back automatically.
in Navigon (I don't have this) there is probably an option where you can change the orientation
edit: change the orientation to landscape in the screen settings, and then start navigon.
Tnks for the reply TK tried the tweak did not seem to do anything apart from restarting the D2 there are no settings in the screen tab for changing orientation just alighn, Cleartype and Text Size.
will have to keep looking.
somehow the tweak options end up in the all programs list, found under Manila Rotate On/Off.
maybe this option came with one of the programs installed ^^
After you do the manilla landscape you soft-reset and then it should be there for you to rotate stuff. Another app to try out is G-Config. Search for that on the forum. You can add automatic rotation to apps that don't support it after you add them to the list you soft-reset and then try it again. I've managed to put MSN, Skype etc on it.
installed Advanced_Configuration_Tool_v3.3, start and then:
screen -> show orientation settings -> yes
then i configured the one button i can configure (left-bottom: press and hold):
settings -> all settings -> personal -> buttons -> <rotate screen>

What about the phone app? When you're in navigation Mode with MN|7 and a call comes in, the phone app is in portrait, right?
Does anyone know, how to turn the phone app to landscape?
Just a simple question if anyone is willing to help
How do I keep my phone on landscape all the time?
I have tried going to "settings -> align screen -> landscape" but everytime i close my keyboard goes back to portrait mode . Some say it's due to "clear type" i turned that off and still keeps going back to portrait [I do lot of texting]
So if anyone has any ideas and would like to pass on plz 'n thanks
If you rotate the screen in closed-keyboard(portrait) to landscape,it keeps all the time in LS mode all the time after(keyboard in/out doesn't matter).. You can do it using mortscript,SPB PocketPlus or in a different way.
I have got a opera mobile 9.7 beta and when you rotate screen on landscape with this software and press home button, your screen will be still on landscape
// It is some BUG of opera, but you can use it

I tried it does not work on mine lol but thanks
And also i found program called GSen ot rotates your touch pro !
If you have sk tools (probably even the free version), use the shortcut manager to create a landscape mode shortcut, then copy it into \windows\startup. You should be good to go.

I will give this a try thanks bud
In changeScreen you have the choise which orientation you want to use by default. And you can make exceptions. For example, I hate it when bubble breaker starts a new game when I tilt my phone to far, so I've set it up in a way it only uses portrait.

hehe im trying to do the exact opposite
I want tf3d to be in portrait all the time, regardless of keyboard in or out.
If i figure out how, ill let you know because it should be easy then to convert to landscape only.

Nope sorry
I had another thread going and their were a few suggestons but it didnt make any difference.
why not just use screenchanger 2.8 and set default only 2 the landscape of your choice (dont know if ur right or left handed)???
if u chose "enable" and "run on startup" wouldnt that fix everything w/o out using some stupid glich?
all the programs that i have used like gsen etc, dont override the keyboard slide. It seems to have some hardwired switch which overrides all of those programs and forces landscape, and then back to portrait when you slide it back in.
Hi!
I am searching for a program like Gyrator, GSen or MobileMagic that rotates my screen when I rotate my Vario IV. But these 3 progs make all programs to rotate with the possibility of a black list, I just want some selected programs to prevent some problems. Is there an alternative with an white list?
Greetings!
K
gyrator would work fine for that. one of the default settings in gyrator is to set everything to rotate. just turn that setting off (set to 0 i think it was). and then add in the programs you want to be able to rotate.
Thanks! I have tested the app and it seems to work
I prefer changeScreen.
Cheers,
Steve.
Thanks for the hint but gyrator works better for me. Especially the function to find the name of tasks is better solved in gyrator.
Greets!
