[Hack] FULLY disable automatic screen rotation

I've come to notice that no one REALLY knew how to fully disable screen rotation on WM devices.
Some offered 3rd party apps to get the job done, some only knew how to disable automatic rotation, but when the device went into standby and woke up again - the screen rotated back. So that didnt really work.
So if you're as desperate as i was about screen rotation,
this is what you need to do:
1. Get dotfred's free taskmanager HERE, and run it.
2. Go to "Devices" tab, and look for "MIS1:" device (oem_misc.dll)
3. Long-Tap on it, and tap on "Stop"
4. Long-Tap on it again, and now choose "Set Manual"
EDIT: This should be enough. try flipping your screen/sliding your keyboard and see if the screen changes orientation.
Now put your device on standby, and turn it on again. If orientation stays the same - you're done. If not - try steps 5-7, although they seem to be irrelevant.
5. Go to "Notifications" tab, and look for "Notifications\NamedEvents\VCPowerWakeupEvent"
6. Tap on it to make it selected
7. Disable it
(In dotfred's taskmanager, there should be a button for disabling it, but for some reason some devices couldn't see the button icons, although the buttons are still clickable. Under the notifications list there is an empty light-blue line - the buttons are there, eventough you can't see them.
The disable buttons is somewhere i the middle of that light-blue line, just tap the center until a message box popps up and asks if you'd like to disable this notification - Tap on yes.)​All those steps are a one time deal - they stick even after an SR.
This has been tested on htc universal and works great.
The screen will keep its orientation even if you flip your screen, take out your built in keyboard, or turn the device off and back on.
The only time your screen will revert back to the original orientation is when you soft reset your device.
Hope this helps

So now, if you need something to help you rotate your screen on demand, you could use this small app that i've made.
its called ScreenRotate.exe (naturally), and you use it like this:
usage: ScreenRotate.exe <command line argument>
0 : Rotete to angle 0
90 : Rotete to angle 90
180 : Rotete to angle 180
270 : Rotete to angle 270
CW : Rotate clockwise
CCW : Rotate counter-clockwise
MIRROR : Mirror the current angle
If nothing will be specified at command line, nothing will happen.
.NET CF 2 is needed.​
I really recommend using it along with FTouchFlo.
This way, to rotate the screen manually, you just need to drag your finger the way you want the screen to be shown, from top to bottom.
I find it quite comfortable while driving...
Those are the changes you'd need to change in FTouchFlo to make it work with ScreenRotate:
DownUpApp:\Program Files\FTouchFlo\ScreenRotate.exe
DownUpAppCmdLine:mirror
LeftRightApp:\Program Files\FTouchFlo\ScreenRotate.exe
LeftRightAppCmdLine:cw
RightLeftApp:\Program Files\FTouchFlo\ScreenRotate.exe
RightLeftAppCmdLine:ccw​

Thank you so much... I have been looking for this for sooo long.
This is the perfec way to make it stick in either Portrait / Landscape.
There have been many users such as myself who have wanted our devices to stay in landscape and this is the perfect hack.
Thanks again... Cheers
BTW -> Tested and works on my Hermes
Just added it to the Hermes Wiki (Can be found under regisrty tweaks although it's not a reg tweak)

happy to hear that!
you're welcome mate.

I have a tytn hermes with satin black and in the notifications tab there isn't any notification named "Notifications\NamedEvents\VCPowerWakeupEvent". I have searched in the notifications tab in task manager and also in the notification queue in memaid. So when i soft reset the device everything goes back where it was (auto rotate screen). Any help? Thank's
EDIT: It is working perfectly even without this notification. I just tested it. So everything OK! ThanX again

actually, you're right.
i guess the notification has nothing to do with it,
i don't remember what made me think it does.
i'll edit the hack accordingly.
thanx zalaros

Unfortunatelly I have found 2 bugs. I have a tytn hermes with black satin medium installed. The first bug is that with mis1 unloaded the device can not connect with the pc anymore. When I plug the device it is just being charged but active sync won't open at all. The second bug is that I can not load mis1 again. No matter what I have tried the device mis1 won't be loaded again if I had unloaded it. Any ideas?

Ok i found a way to reload this specific device (mis1).
1. Run taskmanager.
2. Go to "Devices" tab, and look for "MIS1:" device (oem_misc.dll) (it is unloaded if you have done everything described on the 1st post)
3. Long-Tap on it, and choose "Set Manual"
4. Long-Tap on it again, and choose "Set Automatic"
5. Soft reset your device

Just solved!
The ActiveSync troubleshooter (menu: Help/Troubleshooter for ActiveSync) offered to clear the "Enable advanced network functionality" check box. While trying to do that, an error message "Failed to disable RNDIS ..." was popping up every time. As per this suggestion, I removed virtual COM ports from Bluetooth settings and then it was possible to clear that check box.
Immediately thereafter ActiveSync woke up on the PC and offered to create a new partnership (because I deleted everything in frustration earlier). No problems for half a hour.
Then I left the administrator account and logged on as the usual limited user. ActiveSync again was unable to connect until the advanced functionality check box was restored. Does it seem that those both accounts will require different settings? Dunno, I haven't checked yet.

On my Wizard, with the TNT Rom (August 08), I don't see the device MIS1, and I don't see the event in the TaskManager.
Any ideas how to disable screen rotation, when I slide the keyboard?
Thanks in advance

Sprint HTC Touch Pro ROM 1.03.651.4
The MIS1 solution did not work for my phone (Sprint HTC Touch Pro ROM 1.03.651.4), but I found that this does:'
HKLM\System\GDI\Rotation\CamAppActive = 1
Presumably the device thinks the camera is active and thus doesn't rotate the display.
Obviously this will return to 0 after soft reset, so I used TaskMgr 2.9 to export the entry, then added a startup shortcut to import this entry with the /silent flag.
UPDATE: This fix interferes with data entry in Opera. When I try to type into a google search box, I get one character, the box looses focus, and I gotta tap on it again to type any more. Severely annoying. Goes back to normal when I change CamAppActive back to 0, and close and reopen the keyboard. I may make an exe to toggle or just make two reg import shortcuts.

Way cool!
Works for me too on a Kaiser, with old Dutty ROM.
How in the world did you figure it out? Look at that key?
Thanks, Jeff

It made perfect sense, but admittedly I tried changing everything under "Rotation" before I tried that one.
Item #21 on this list clued me into that area of the registry:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=398265

El Zilcho.
Bupkis. I've been knocking my brains out trying to disable autorotation, but still have manual enabled. (I've got some apps that play nice only in landscape, and some only like portrait. Also, I'd like to be able to slide my keyboard out really quick-like to enter some quick text, then slide it back w/o messing with screen orientation.) I tried the MIS1 disable, but no-go for me. Also tried messing with the Rotation entries, specifically the SlideKey key, but apparently that value is volatile and changes with each slide. Oh well! Unless there's a way to lock the SlideKey value so it can't be changed, that'd fix my issue. Hmm.
EDIT: Forgot to mention. I've got the Tilt (8900 I guess?) with vanilla OEM 6.1 ROM, modded only for no-bloat. (Did the old battery trick after reset/reinstall to prevent bloatware.)
EDIT: After I typed this up, figured I'd try using Settings>Screen (or somesuch) to just fix perspective. Still auto-rotates. KaiserTweak and Advanced Config can't get it to stick on one or the either, either. Editing registry turns up same results. Settings right now say it's fixed at 0 degrees but it still autorotates.
Late-breaking edit, 14-JUN-10: Got rid of it a few months ago anyways, moved to a Rhodium. No D-pad, so no more worries about those games that didn't like rotation, as they needed the D-pad to work anyways, and the TP2 doesn't have one.

Wow
Wow, pretty hard core fix! On the Sprint Touch Pro 2 Stock 6.1 my reg entry above only works to prevent rotation when the keyboard is slid out, it will not help with the autorotation provided by the sensor. I however put together some .reg files, with my perceived essential fixes including disabling sensor rotation:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=651166

So, following post 'step by step' didn't change anything with my screen rotation settings. still automatically rotates all the time when I don't want it too...really frustrating. This is about the 4th hack I've tried with no success. Does anyone know what the proper solution is for the HTC Rhodium? I'm running stock AT&T Tilt 2 Rom WM 6.5.
I know there are programs you can install to take over rotation control...I'm just looking for a reg change or service hack or something to stop auto rotate from ever happening.
Thanks to anyone who knows the answer!!

HTC Home 24 hour clock

OK OK... I know what youa re going to say... "There are threads everywhere in here, why dont you look?"
Well I have and everything keeps pointing to changing the Region settings. OK I have done that. currently my regional settings are set to "h:mm:ss tt" and my HTC Home (HTCHomeWM56Tab.cab) currently has 15:00. I have changed it to evey different setting and the only thing that changes is the leading 0.
I have change the settings soft reset, changed them back , soft reset again... over and over but I still only have 24 hour clock. in other plugins the time format is correct, it is only the HTC Home plugin that is incorrect.
Any advice on resolving this issue would be great.
Thanks,
SoBBie

OK Now I am really confused and frustrated... I have found also that the regional settings are held in [HKLM>nls] and [HKLM>nls>overrides]. I have changed these and still nothing is happening to the.
Here are the settings in my Registry:
[HKLM>nls]
DefaultACP: 1252
DefaultLCID: 1033
OCP: 437
LegacyLocaleMode: 1
SystemLCID: 1033
[HKLM>nls>overrides]
IDate: 1
ITime: 1
ITLZr: 1
ITMPN: 1
SDate: -
SSDte: dd-MMM-yy
STFmt: hh:mm:ss tt
STime: :
LICD: 1033
Now when I change the Date format it changes in HTC Home immediately. When I change the the date setting through the regional settings the date changes right away. But NOTHING I do to the time formate changes it to non-military. I soft reset after each registry change but still nothing. The Time format changes in my time settings but not in HTC Home
Please any help would be greatly appreciated. I am not sure what to try next. Does anyone know of a registry key that locks the time format? I thought I read the ITime activates overrides which has the correct settings... am I incorrect?
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me...
Best Regards,
SoBBie

I just flashed Dutty's Official WM6.1 today on my Tilt and I to am having the same problem, and it's drivin' me nutz.
I have tried re-flashing, changing registry still the same.
I flashed this originally in the P.M. hours and did remember seeing the time displayed correctly on initial boot after flashing, then stupid me let the at&t config run and since then it's military time only.
I tried re-flashing hoping that not letting the at&t config run might fix it but this time it was on military time on first boot before the config ran so what ever it changed it was something that is not reaffected be re-flashing the same ROM.
I also tried a hard reset, no luck there either. Next step is to try flashing back to OEM ROM and starting from scratch.
Hopefully somebody will have a fix posted soon with an answer to this so I don't have to waste my time with OEM flash.

Just doing some more checking, it seems it is a bug in the HTC home app. I set it to display date on the today screen and the time is correct format (8:00 p.m.) there but directly below the large "Home screen" clock shows military time (20:00). Is there somewhere to edit this in the home screen part, as I stated before it showed correctly on initial boot from initial flash?
Thaks for any help, keep up the awsome work Dutty!!

go to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\nls\overrides
and add the following values as String Value...
"S1159" = " AM"
"S2359" = " PM"
or just import the attached reg ... try and post your results

Another tweak to really speed up the TOUCH PRO

Hi, I've posted this in lowyat.net forum, but I wish to post this here as well, because I think this is a very significant tweak. Anyways, this method was originally found in this forum, just that I think no one suggested this method to speed up the Touch Pro.
Here comes the tweak:
I've been facing this issue where the SIP menu (aka input menu), takes like 2 seconds to popup when you want to switch the input method, making me wonder if I didn't manage to press the little triangle... My old PDA didn't have such an issue.
So after some searching, I found this:
give it a shoot , Get a registry editor ,
1. Export HKCR\CLSID (will save to a *.reg file)
2. Del or Rename HKCR\CLSID
3. Import the backup of HKCR\CLSID
Turn off your device about 15 sec and reset
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread...t=301433&page=1
And yup, it works!! The SIP menu is now very responsive, and the system is now faster, and more responsive. Games do not lag anymore, especially the old ones.
Anyway, I didn't have to reset to see the effect.
In that thread, someone suggested the renaming method. Actually I used that method, but found that I can't rename the CLSID back because the system created another one. Luckily my Resco Registry Explorer allows me to copy and paste the keys from the old folder into the new folder. If not, it'll mean another hard reset. And one more thing, DO NOT SOFT RESET BEFORE YOU GET THE CLSID BACK!! "Turn off" in the thread means sleep, cuz unlike our TP, old PDAs cannot really be "turned off". It's best to backup your PDA before performing this procedure.

Anyone tried this fix?

SIP changing is really quick now. The device seems to be faster,but maybe it's a "placebo effect". Thanks for the tip,something helps this.

Some magic. It really works.
Thank you.

Thats Awesome
Wow! This tweak works perfect! BIG THANK for posting this here!

Btw,I know about this already few years,from that time I have tested HTC Himalaya,but I never tried it till now.

well, i think it works.
but i am not sure.
like mentioned in this thread, it could be a placebo effect.
cause i have not reset my TP for a while.
and after this tweak you have to reset, and after a reset the TP is always a little bit faster.
but if you aplly this tweak as instructed, nothing can go wrong so......
if you don`t try you`ll never know

As I said,SIP changing is really fast now,so at least one benefit you get. Before was 3-5 seconds,now <1s.

sorry to be a bother. but with PHM regedit i held my cursor over the CLSID key in the registry rather than making a backup. I did an export. stupidly I deleted the key instead of renaming it. now when i try to import the key back in, first off the import choice in tools is greyed out and when i try restore and selecting the file I get "error". I'm hoping if all CLSID's are the same someone would be kind enough to bail me out by uploading their CLSID backup.
thanks in advance

update: false alarm, solved it.

I too did this tweak, and did notice that in my threaded SMS, opening the QWERTY had an immediate response. I'm about 2 hours since I've done it, so I will see how this is going this time tomorrow. I hope this is perminant, and I see this response delay with the input method gone forever.
THANKS FOR SHARING!!!

Awesome post for someone new to this forum!! Thanks a lot! System does seem faster. I have an old game, Warfare Inc, that I still like to play once in awhile. Hasn't run smoothly on my TP until now.

I tried this but all hell broke loose! now my tp wont even start.. so im guessing something went terribly wrong.. now i have to hard reset the thing. and loos all my stuff in there.

at first everything was ok! but later I spoted that GPS reception was totally lost - no fix enymore! Reinstaling NETCF3.5 seems to fix it.

Here you go

does it work on htc diamond? was wondering if anyone experiences the lag when typing with phone keypad.. the words 'take their time' to appear.

I tried and my TP wouldn't boot. Had to hard-reset. I made sure the CLSID key was re-created before I did a soft-reset.

Hmm, what does this tweak actually do? export and import your registry settings?
I'm unclear as to how that's making anything better?

this also hosed up my TP. Wont boot. Have to restore it now errrr

Those with "hosed" TP's make sure you really export the reg file, and not copy/paste. I could not find the option in the reg part of Total Commander so I used TRE, another free reg edit tool found on this forum many years ago Please search for it as it is so simple to use. Would have uploaded for you, but am not using my regular pc

I think that we don't even need to export and import the reg key. It seems to me like only rename the key (ex CLSIDold) and renaming it back (CLSID) then shut down for some seconds, works too.
It looks like working to me that way. Now SIP change takes one sec.
WOW !!!

M2DC
Just tried the M2DC theme manager on 7.3 Std, with a renamed .zip file to .m2dct file (specifically the KnobiSkin from the M2D skin thread).
First time, it locked up. M2DC continued with spinning icon until I forced a reboot. Touchflo was off after reboot, and after enabling it everything appeared to be the same.
Second attempt, I disabled Touchflo from today before applying the new theme. Got the "Applying Theme" prompt. After M2DC closed, I reactivated touchflow and new theme was applied.
Simple instruction for use of M2DC Themes on OTP 7.3:
Find a skin you like, download the zip file (not the cab),
Rename file to .m2dct,
Copy new file to the themes directory of the M2DC install directory,
Disable touchflo in Today settings
Start M2DC,
Go to themes tab (the first time it will back up the default theme),
Click the new theme then apply,
Restart touchflo.
Alternate for creating themes from skin CABs:
Run M2DC first, let it make the DefaultThemeBackup.m2dct file, Close M2DC.
Run the CAB skin of choice.
Rename DefaultThemeBackup.m2dct to OriginalTheme.m2dct (or anything else with same extension).
Rerun M2DC. It will detect no DefaultThemeBackup.m2dct and will ask to back up again. Let it make new backup. Close M2DC.
Rename new file to the name of the new theme.
Repeat for each skin CAB you wish to convert to m2dc theme file.
Note: The M2DCT files can be large (over 3Mb, 660 files backed up). Best to do this only if M2DC is installed on a large Storage card.
Note 2: Several times M2DC appeared to freeze when applying or backing up themes. It looks like it has problems if touchflo is not off prior to running. It does try to deactivate touchFlo then reactivate when done, but it doesn't appear to work flawlessly yet. It is better to deactivate the Today plugin before running M2DC on this ROM build.
Note 3: New mods to theme support in M2DC released today (Sept 30)

:::ONLY ONE ISSUE:::
When InCall Partial back button is displayed.
EVERYTHING else is easily fixable.

FAQ 3
Saving space for updates.

Using 7.3.1
1) Activesync is always on. Even after turning it off it restarts in background after some time.
2) Battery status icon on home page always shows full. Had to install a third party battery meter to show correct status.

Since this thread popped up i guess the issues i have that are notable.
1. activesync always re-opens im aware of a reg change that is possible to stop this but haven't been able to find it yet.
2. that back button when calling is REALLY annoying lol, someone needs to get/find a fix for that.
3. battery bars are inaccurate, i used one of the first things kidnamedalbert suggested and it works, until i soft reset the phone then it doesnt.
4. weather back round was first not alligned correctly, but it fixed itself after an install and uninstall of the feng shui theme.
5. still completely usable and i love this rom a lot

The fix that I have done:
* Using vistahide for battery status. Remove the today screen battery status icon using Schaps advance configurator.
What I can't fix:
* Half of backspace button is shown on call status screen. However if I lose the signal (happens very often in my apt ), the backspace button does not show.
Customizations, which may be useful for a few:
* Install vjbrisk to redirect calendar to thumbcal. After installation, rename vjbrisk.exe to calendar.exe, and rename a thumcal shortcut to vjtarget.lnk, then post the new calendar.exe and vjtarget.lnk in the \windows folder to redirect calendar to thumbcal.
* Reinstall newest google maps to main memory. It simply works after reinstallation.

my issue is when u flip the phone when its on the home screen it doesnt fit and it always goes back to portrait mode

I am having the landscape problem also, if it does flip to landscape it is cut off. Most the time it won't even flip!
I am having a problem with the Device lock, after a reboot the device lock works fine but once i unlock it...i can not lock it again. Which sucks because if i try to take it out of the belt clip when i am getting a call it always pushes the call to voicemail!
I was just about to search for these issues when i seen this new post. I'm going to search now...maybe someone from here will be in that search with the answers =)

I am having a problem with the Device lock, after a reboot the device lock works fine but once i unlock it...i can not lock it again. Which sucks because if i try to take it out of the belt clip when i am getting a call it always pushes the call to voicemail!
I was just about to search for these issues when i seen this new post. I'm going to search now...maybe someone from here will be in that search with the answers =)

for device lock, just lock your phone manually then unlock. DeviceLock SHOULD work now

Thats the thing i do try it manually, when i click on the Device Lock the phone beeps so i know i hit it but it never locks. I have tried using the shortcut under Accessories, tried putting a shortcut under Programs, I even went into the Windows folder and clicked Devicelock.exe. All of them do the same. i think it just might be corrupt. Can you up your devicelock.exe from your Windows folder?

you can't even get the device to lock by holding the end key? also where do i put the vistahide exe so i can launch it from the program launcher. i don't really want it to start on startup.

dude i mean by holding the end key! sorry for not being clear enough.
yeah that always happens to me. and i solve by holding end key and unlocking and DeviceLock works again

Holding the End key worked! I didn't know about this, maybe i did just didn't remember, I'm not sure...it sounded familiar when you said it. Awesome Thanks for the tip!

Using 7.3.1
1) Activesync is always on. Even after turning it off it restarts in background after some time.
2) Battery status icon on home page always shows full. Had to install a third party battery meter to show correct status.

The Same! With Version 7.3.1
And:
If I direct via Startmenu e.g. to the accessories folder and then want to go back, it sometimes happens, that it needs some minutes to show all Icons or hangs up!
PSShutXP doesn't safe the settings for an automatic reset!
And last:
If I want to add something to Programs Tab I have to press 2 times on the "+" Symbol on the button. the first time only the wait Symbol appears and fanishes, but nothing happens!
The same with adding weather and Contact

Heres an issue, when using a headset for music when you go to audio booster to try to change settings on the equalizer you CANT check the "On" Button. This was a problem with the STD version as well and thought that it was fixed in this release(OTP v7.3.1 TouchFlo 2D Final ) and it still isnt . Is my headset not compatible or is this just a bug with the software?

for me its google maps. when i had another rom on open touch biggy i believe it worked with the proxy last week. now it says i need data. yet my email works and the web doesnt on the opera anymore.

have you tried updating google maps to main device? have you run the network wizard? also which version are you using?

Battery Bar!!
anyone notice that the battery bar doesnt go down even though it's like 50% already?

Any Way to stay in keypad mode during call?

My screen goes crazy. During a call up to my ear it flips to horizontal, changes out of key pad view and not always to mute/speakerphone... keys view, sometimes to contact info, and can be a nightmare to get back to "end call." I've found times when the caller hung up but the TP2 put them on hold and kept my time going.
Any programs and or reg hacks to:
1) stop the horizontal flip when placed to an ear, and
2) keep it in keypad mode or general call mode?
Real pain when dialing into a system that requires keypad responses. Everytime I put it back to my ear I have to go through a crazy sequence to get back to the key pad.
This is my only complaint wth this phone, it's not easy to use as a phone!
Thanks.

I have the same problem when dialing into VM, or into any call queue. I looked through the registry a bit. Didn't see anything obviously labeled.

yeah me too. Only thing I could find was using Gyrators' exception list to not rotate the phone, but it wasnt 100% reliable. I would *LOVE* to find a way to stay in keypad mode too.

Hi All - I guess I'm just jumping on the bandwagon but I have the same issue and find it annoying. I loaded the 'incall screen tweak' but that didn't work. Any help more seasoned members than I could offer would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers!!!

I had the same issue too, whenever I put my phone up to my ear (left handed) it would go into landscape. The fix is simple but you have to edit a registry setting. I'm going by memory here, so please forgive the vague info
1) make sure to backup your reg info
2) using your favorite reg edit program, goto
HKCU\Software\HTC\HTCSENSOR\GSensor\Whitelist
3) now this is the part I kind of forgot, you need to find a string with the DATA value that includes "phone" or "dailer"
4) delete that string
5)soft reset and give it a try, the phone shouldn't go into landscape whenever you turn it during a call.

OK, I went where you said, but no dialer, and only phone entry is:
Phone/Lock/Compose/Picture
String= Dialog
And deleting this stopped "lefty" in call flipping? Doesn't make sense to me. Doesn't seem to only control dialer or phone.
Please confirm or anyone out there please help. I don't want to delete something don't understand.
Can I simple change Dialog to something like "Zero" or "0"?

That's it! forgot what the process name was, but yeah, deleting that stopped the phone from trying to change to landscape during a phone call. Deleting that will tell the G-Sensor not to change the orientation of the phone's screen during a phone call, however it also tells it not to change the orientation during a picture (which wasn't a big deal for me cuz I can change it when I view them in windows). You can always look up the process in google or even the forum search tool if you're still scared.

If anyone else is interested I tried a "partial" delete of the suggestion above. I created a new string leaving out the Phone.
Lock/Compose/Picture
String= Dialog
deleted old string with phone/....
So far no more "lefty" crazy problems, and pictures seem to appear in landscape.
Here's hoping all is OK!

Awesome, good job!

I installed Gyrator 2. Just create a new event with the phone as the application. Nothing for orientation, nothing on stylus, and rotate screen for actions. Then promote the event to the top. Highlight your new phone event and select orientation, it will have a check mark and a number one next to the event. It hasn't failed on me yet and I use the key pad all day long with my job!

I just upgraded to the Verizon official WinMo 6.5 and the registry hack doesn't seem to work anymore, and I'm having issues getting Gyrator to work, has anyone resolved this issue for WinMo 6.5?

I haven't had any of the issues with the 6.5 upgrade that were mentioned with 6.1. Haven't needed to add S2U2 since the screen lock is built in and the phone is much more responsive when placed to the ear and then moved away to access the keypad. It's not perfect but vastly improved over 6.1...
I guess my point is try it the way it is with 6.5 and see if you thinks its better. leave gyrator and reg hacks aside for a few.
