Ever since I've had my SDA, I've wondered how cool it would be if I was able to rotate PIE so that I could use the wide part of the screen to render pages. Looking at squished pages lengthwise looks very uncool. I'd rather have nicely rendered wide pages (with more scrolling required) than squished pages.
Does anyone know if this is possible. In the old days when I played with Opera, I thought it was possible to rotate the screen. But that's a fuzzy memory I can't bet on.

Thanks for the link. I guess I was looking for a way to just rotate the app, and not the whole phone screen.
Does anyone know if this is possible to do with Opera?
What do you mean rotate the app, and not the whole phone screen? Does it makes any difference?
Since WM6 supports screen rotation, we already got it working on Tornado using Vox driver, except for the fact that there is problem with screen rotation and the joystick orientation.

What I mean is that if I exit out of PIE, I want my phone to look "normal" and not in landscape mode. What I want is what Media Player or TCMP does when you do a "full screen." It rotates the display so you're seeing it in widescreen mode, instead of portrait.
I don't think that this is possible to do with opera or ie. The only way to go is to rotate the whole phone screen.

This is what I do, I downloaded AE Button Plus and Tornado Display Manager. I set to Vox DLL using TDM, then using AE Button Plus, I configured to hold right soft key to rotate screen, so after that I just have to hold the right button to rotate the screen, no need to go through TDM, hassle free
Files maywe..?
Karhoe, and all others..
Happy to hear that, you guys could bring this all down to one long keypress, configured via AEBPlus.. I had a look on the posted material here, and it looks pretty confusing. Karhoe, and others, if you couls just post the needed files, with a simple readme, in a single zip file, would be much obliged...
Thanks bud, for all your work..

Sorry to post in the Tornado forum guys, but I'm trying to solve a problem and I think only you guys can help me. I've got TomTom 5 installed on the Moto Q but after starting the program, the screen is oriented in portrait mode, however, the Q is natively in landscape.
Unfortunately, the displayed images are unreadable and just jumbled. I know that there is an option within TomTom to rotate the screen but without being able read the screens, its a practice in futility.
Can someone that has TomTom installed on their Tornado do me a favor. Can you walk me through the exact steps and button presses from the launch of the program to the rotate screen option. The button should look like an upside down smiley face.
I'm hoping that if I correctly hit the button sequence, the screen will rotate and that I'll be able to make the menus and program legible. Cheers.
I'm looking for a solution for a hermes, but assume it would be the same for wizard, kaiser, etc.
I'm often browsing the internet on my phone, and want to type just a few words without losing any screen estate to an onscreen keyboard, and without causing the screen to reprocess to landscape. I especially want to do this as I often have ms reader in the background, and it locks up the whole device while it repaginates the book.
Searching the obvious terms is just leading to people who want to rotate the screen without opening the keyboard - not want I want to do.
Any tips would be appreciated. I either want a way to lock the screen to portrait, or a way to make the device ignore the light sensor which tells it the keyboard is out (but if the keys could still light up, that would be a bonus.)
I`m using Opera, in portrait mode and I get keyboard to write -> the screen of my Kaiser flips in the opposite direction of my keyboard ._.
So yeah, this would be great.
if it works from a light sensor just cover it up with something maybe?
edit: it doesn't work lol, i also have this problem. my phone is too slow to handle this. i bet there's a registry setting for it. if i find anything out ill let you know
Okay, after further searching I found that someone had answered this question.

I now have rotate mapped to a button, (using spb pocket plus, rather than the program in the thread), so I rotate the screen manually when I want.
Lokioki - this solution will probably suit you for your opera problem.
I think I am going mad so forgive me.
Can someone help me to rotate the screen to landscape with the keyboard closed? IE. manually rotate the screen.
I can't seem to find the function anywhere.
or have I missed something?
Thanks.
Just rotate the device?!
This only works in certain apps, like picture etc.
I want the Home screen, and TT7 in Landscape when in the car, and turning the screen doesn't do anything.
Any help?
The Apps themselves need to support the Rotation of the phone by implementing a hook into the Accelerometer/G-Sensor.
Like said above, TouchFlo3D Pictures and Opera do this, but most other apps do not! Just need to wait for later versions or change to landscape mode manually - if supported!
Should be (although HTC may have removed it) in Start->Settings->System (tab)->Screen, and then change the orientation. It's possible HTC removed this functionality though...
I'm guessing that Mortscript will still work on the Touch.
You could use this to rotate the screen then call the app in question?
Then when you quit the app it'll rotate back.
I forgot the name of the app, but it allowed you to rotate the Diamond for any app or any situation in the phone. It should also be able to work on the Touch Pro then.
Its called GSen it works on diamond and probably it should work for this and if its not working just wait for new release.

They have removed this option, but you can bring it back with Schap's advanced config 3.0! I haven't tried it, but I've seen the option there!
Reg Edit to set Talk key to rotate screen manually
Here's a reg hack to manually rotate your screen, only when desired.
In Settings/Buttons/ one used to be able to assign a button to <Rotate Screen>. This feature is hidden on the Touch Pro.
To get it back:
Using a Registry editor, go to:
HKeyLocalMachine/System/GDI/Rotation
Change the "HideOrientationUI" from 1 to 0
Now you can remap the talk key to do this on long press.
Pocketpowermanager puts a little icon at the bottom of the Today screen which rotates the screen (and an icon for power off, and another for soft reset). It's a great application.
Hi there
Both Gens and Gyrator work well on the Touch Pro.
Just Bing them (at bing.com).

You can get an application called gyrator 2 which will allow you to rotate without sliding out the keyboard in any screen, so like you can use it in the start menu or anywhere else, http://pocketnow.com/index.php?a=portal_detail&t=news&id=6068
Running IGO8 8.3.4.102680, default skin. It's working quite well on my stock AT&T Pure except (always and except, right?) for one problem -- while in 3D mode following a route, the zoom out ("-") button on the screen zooms IN!
Anyone experience anything like this? I usually rely on the 2D views, but 3D is rather nice at times. I'd like to be able to zoom out to get an overview of the surrounding area. I have a sys.txt file, but I'm not sure how the 3D options work.
thanks
Jim
Press once on the center of the screen (dont drag or you'll go in to scroll mode) once you're on the map screen or 3d screen. Icons will pop up at the side and presets at the bottom will appear.
use the presets and it should be fine, if not go into settings and into navigation and turn off automatic overview
EDIT: Sorry, i just realized your problem was about the zoom button not working, i would edit it out but it wont hurt to leave it i guess >< lol
as for your situation, no i have not experienced it
Hi all.
I've tried a few alternative video players (so i can watch avi's etc), but all seem to have the same flaw. They won't auto-rotate the video. This is hugely inconvenient when watching something when the eeePad is in a stand case.
Anybody found a video player that will flip the picture round?

I'm not aware of anything that'll do this, I guess most video players are designed for landscape viewing. Is your stand case in portrait orientation?
I'm watching in landscape mode, though it'll only work if the tablet is the right way up, if you know what I mean. (power button at the top left). If I want the tablet at a different angle in the case stand, it turns the tablet upside down (power button bottom right), still landscape though. But the downloaded apps won't rotate the picture so it's useless.
I'm sure Rock Player or MoboPlayer used to flip the image. Maybe there's been an update? I've tried PR, MP, vPlayer and a couple of others, they all end up upside down.
VERY GRRR!!!

Oh, I see. Sounds like an odd design of the case to me - turning the TF upside down to watch 'at a different angle' ? Are you sure the TF itself isn't inside the case the wrong way round? I'm guessing your case has a kickstand of sorts for viewing at whatever angle you wish, is that right?

Moboplayer is able to autorotate the video. You need to go into Settings and put a check in Screen Rotation before it will auto rotate.
I think quite a few of the stand cases have this design. The "correct" way up is a high angle, maybe 70°. Then "upside-down" gives a low angle, like 20°...
