Hi can anyone please tel me how to disable the screen rotate when i cange from laptop mode to PDA mode. I have the icon to change if i need to change but just wish to disable the automatic rotation of the screen when you rotate the screen
Thanks for any help
Only way I can think of is to remove the magnet inside the lcd section casing.

Thats a good idea, But there might be a registery hack to disable the switching.
Yea, can anyone come up with a solution for that - it is a nice feature, but can get quite annoying, specially with the time it takes to rotate the screen.
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
So I managed to drop my phone the other day. I've noticed that since the drop it wont rotate to portrait mode. I'm 99.9% positive that it is a hardware problem. If I hold the phone upright and open the keyboard about 1/4th of an inch it will rotate. So I'm guessing that its a problem within.
So now for the question. On CM5.0.8T4 Is there a way to disable the rotation when the keyboard is out? Basically giving the accelerometer full control of orientation.
Sorry if this is in another place, I've been searching for days now and haven't found any solution.
Thanks.
post in Question section not Development section
Hi guys
I have an maybe simple question but havent find anything satisfying.
The thing is, that I don't like the Lock Screen when turn off my Desire. With the Extended Control and some other apps its simple to disable the lock screen, but from there on all hardware keys (home, back, volume, ...) turn on the device, which is not really what I want.
So my question is, is it generally possible to disable the screen lock and just use the power-button to wake the device.
I currently use the LeeDroid Mod v1.4. The standard behavior is the same like obove with disabled screen lock. I found to disable it I just have to remove /system/usr/keylayout/curcial-oj.kl. Worked great with enabled screen lock.
Modifying the other *.kl files doesn't help.
Hopefully you understand what I mean
and could give me some hints
bye
