How to lock HTC Pure screen orientation? - General Questions and Answers

The HTC Pure has a built-in accelerometer that automatically changes the screen orientation from portrait to landscape when you rotate the phone. It works great for websites, email, photos, and video, but not for 3rd party apps like Google Maps and Facebook.
Is there any way to lock the screen orientation, so it stays on landscape?
Thx!

I've only taken a few photos so far, all in landscape orientation. All except one have appeared in landscape orientation in the viewer. One of them, however, turned into portrait orientation. I fixed it using the WM "Pictures and Videos" application to rotate it, but I don't know why that happened.

How to Disable Auto Rotate?

Is there a way to disable the rotate on the Touch Pro? My annoyance is that some times I take pictures with the phone in landscape..... and when I view the pictures, the phone would auto rotate the screen making unviewable
I see a solution with using different picture viewer. I use Resco,because it has much more functionalities than builtin viewer. I want to disable autorotation while keyboard is slided out. Any hack for this?

Smart Rotator

Very great app. I hate Auto-Rotate mode because it always triggered at the wrong moment! It's really help me to customize my Android. I put fixed landscape mode for 90% of my normal and system apps (Apex Launcher, Opera Mobile, Polaris Office etc). Smart Rotator starts on device boot and always control your apps rotate mode. You can choose Auto-Rotate, Portrait Fixed or Landscape Fixed for separate apps. Smart Rotator completely changed my usual "portrait" use of Galaxy Note. Now I always hold my device at landscape mode and it become more comfortable to use. Watching videos, web browsing and maps are now extremely handy. I only left portrait mode for Astro Player and some games.

I like Ultimate Rotation Control it allows me to set the orientation on the fly. Eg,often if I'm using the phone lying down in bed, I want to lock the orientation differently to if I'm sitting upright.
Also, you can set the orientation upside down so that the capacitative buttons are at the top and out of the way for some apps.

I've tried a few rotate widgets/apps, couple different driving mode overlays, Nova launcher, etc.
