Hey guys, i would like to know if we could enable through a registry hack or something, SecondToday to start automatically when we slide out the keyboard.
I don't really like the landscape version of manila so it would be better to have the normal today screen when the keyboard is out (But since we can't disable TF3D landscape secondtoday will do just fine). I've tried with sksChema and SecondToday but it doesn't have an option for sliding out the Keyboard.
If anybody knows any workaround for this, let me know, please...

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.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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
Hi guys,
My problem. I'm not using the TF3D but installed SPB instead. However the question is that the screen only turns landscape when i open the key pad. Only app that it auto rotate is Opera.
It is very annoying that if i am reading news for example from a rss reader or something i have to open the key pad in order to read in landscape mode??
Is ther a fax or software which can solve my problem?
thanks everyone.
there are lots of apps that allow you to rotate a screen manually. apart from the auto rotate apps in the diamond forum, spb today plugins usually come with an item (through add item when adding an item to tab) that lets you change the screen oriention via a shortcut.
using something like aeplus can allow you to map a hardware button to screen rotation
Thanks friend
I want to DISABLE autorotate while slideout the keyboard (and map it to the button). Is that possible?
i'm pretty sure u can disable but I'm not sure where in the registery to change.... however, forcing rotation as I asked before I cannot do this way and I think I have to install something... but I'm not sure
I have a fuze and don't like the landscape manila (non TP2 version) when you slide the keyboard out. Is there a way to disable it so that manila will stay in potrait even when you slide the keyboard out? Is there a way to make it so that if your in landscape in another program say surfing on opera and close it, it will revert back to potrait of TF3D and if you simply are on your homescreen and slide your keyboard out it will stay potrait? I hate having to close shut my keyboard just to access something on manila and then reopen the keyboard to use my hard keys. I did several google searches and havn't found a solution.
bump, is it even possible?
Kinda lol
You can disable the landscape screen but it will try to put whatever screen is showing into landscape. Needless to say its not pretty.
Hey guys,
I upgraded my ROM (Asian ROM) from 1.9xx.xxx (don’t remember what it is) to the latest 5.07.831.2 last night from the HTC HK site. ( I bought mine in Hong Kong)
After upgrading, TF3D still switches from Portrait to Landscape mode when I open the keyboard.
However, when I close the keyboard, the screen (TF3D) remains in Landscape. The only way I can switch from Landscape -> Portrait is to turn the screen off and turn it back on.
Any ideas on which registry settings might be causing this? Is it a ROM issue or could it be a registry conflict issue since I imported my old registry settings?
Thanks a lot.
Just wanted to add that I think the keyboard is also an, if not at issue
- Keyboard will awake phone when slid open
- Keyboard is active and will type
- Screen just doesn’t respond to being open/closed
Also, I tried using the Standard WM Today screen and the opposite happened: orientation does not change when I open the keyboard.
When the keyboard is open in both TF3D and WM Today Screen, the directional arrows function in landscape mode (down key moves downward instead of to the left. Up key moves upwards instead of to the right).
Nothing on this?
Hi Folks,
I love the Rhodium dialer in the Topaz ROMS, and generally it works flawelessly in Landscape.
There is just one thing anoying me, and I was not successfull in fixing it via the registry.
- When having the Topaz with Manila in Landscape mode, and starting the Dialer, the dialer is switching Manila into Portrait, and then the dialer is started in portrait as well.
- If eg. turning the device to landscape, and then back to landscape, Rhodium dialer will switch to landscape as well. Also when taking a call, it switches quite soon, or if puishing the volume control and then back to the dialer again it will switch to landscape. But never alone...
Anyone has an idea if there is any registry setting that starts the dialer in landscape if manila was in landscape mode while starting the dialer???
Any idea would be apprichiated.
Thanks GeScha
PS: I'm using the phone in the car in a carholder, that's landscape, so turning the device is not really an option....
Kind of a work around but not really a solution would be to set one of your hardware keys to rotate the screen with a long press or double/triple press....
Hi Bruce,
I was considering this, but in this case I can do the volume control workaround as well....
A reg-hack would be ideal, bat havent found one yet.
I would think it would be a key in HKCU\Control Panel\Phone... maybe "KeypadStateOnLaunch" or "KeypadStateOrientations"
but I am not certain.
I tried several of these settings, none was successful.
I also tried to play around with some keys in HKCM/Software/HTC/HTCSensors/GSensor..
None changed the behaviour as I liked.
Maybe its not checking GSensor at startup, but if the Keyboard of the Rhodium is open or not....
