Hi.
I've been using Topaz Keyboard Controller to rotate my screen 270 degrees of late on double back click. works great in everything (i'm not a fan of accelerometer turning) EXCEPT the home screen (Touch Flo) it turns, but TF3D vanishes and i'm left with a black background, but the taskbar and softkey bar (which i have edited to extend my portrait background) are still visible.
Also, while in landscape mode, should the device go to standby, it's game over (because i'm using HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\BackLight, AutoDeviceLockEnable 0 change to 1) i can't unlock...stuck in standby mode.
so, 2 problems:
1) is the background/wallpaper in landscape mode changeable? does touch flo work in landscape (Rhodium style)?
2) if phone locks in horizontal mode, phone doesn't quite freeze, but is unlockable (black background, no unlock slider)
any1 got any tips to fix either/both of these problems?
thanks
Yeah I also like to know how to change the Landscape background.

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?
I have an unlocked Fuze using T-mobile. Upgraded to new HTC ROM 5.11.502.2 WWE. Bypassed AT&T bloat, reloaded all themes/fonts/icons/apps. Now when I slide out to use the hard keyboard and the screen goes to landscape, there are white blocks where the icons should be and also lower menu bar. Still can access programs if you know what you're touching. Then upon closing keyboard screen freezes on landscape, then when it returns to portrait the white blocks/missing icons from the landscape mode are still there. Pressing "home" gets no reaction, but once the device goes to sleep and you wake it up, TF3D today home screen is normal and all functions.
I am noob-ish, and don't have a screen shot app, but will find one if necessary.
Thanks!
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....
Can anyone let me know what is causing this problem on my phone??
I want to run landscape mode but every time I enable Landscape it leave me with screen problem (The photo attach are screen shots for my phone running in land scape mode [right side is the bottom], where the black screen is the home screen, the photo tab and music tab are also mess up.)
I mean my phone runs perfectly fine in portrait mode but once I enable landscape I have problem
I tried enable landscape with bsb tweaks, Touch tools, Gconfig and all 3 program leave me with the same screen problem. (I can enable landscape and turn off rotation but that is just portrait mode again.)
I am using official Traditional Chinese rom:
manila 2.5.1921161930
(I have CHT install)
And I really want to figure out how to run the phone in landscape mode without have to deal with a black screen on home screen. Can anyone help me???
You are using Windows Mobile 6.5. You cannot rotate these features in 6.5 unfortunately.
If you want to change this... grab yourself a new ROM... and flash it.
so i need 6.5X??? That blows.....
Is going to be hard to find a good Rom that support traditional Chinese....
I have been using my the docking station for my titan and am loving it however when docked the start screen remains "sideways" as well as hubs and index search.
rather than a question about landscape mode because maybe that functionality isn't programmed or possible. Is there a way to rotate the start screen to portrait facing me while the phone is docked landscaped? I can picture a huge black bar or empty space off to the right which is fine.
are there any registry edits maybe out there or?
I don't believe anybody has found a way to force the Start screen into landscape mode. This is true even with those Windows phones that have landscape slide-out keyboard (which normally force the phone into Landscape mode while the keyboard is out). I see no evidence of support for a landscape start screen in anything that I've yet seen of WP7.
