Hi guys
I have 2 questions about the Navipanel.
First the easier one. (I think for devs this might be easy)
When I start the Navipanel on my HD2 it's forced to go in Landscape.
When return to the start menu and back to the navipanel it is in Portrait Mode, but only for 2 sec. and then it returns to Landscape.
Now is it possible to run the navipanel in Portrait without it change again in Landscape?
I already tryed with the BsB Tweak where you can select Apps whitch have to rotait. But dosent work
Second
The second question is more for the "Hardcore Developers"
Whould it be possible to change the shourtcuts so that it would work like on go pilot? Because now it's not important which button I press it only opens Navigon. But it dosen't go directly to my House (for Example.)
Thanks for Respons and bye all
SAME REQUEST ....SEEMS NOONE CAN MANAGE TO CHANGE THIS NAVIPANEL.which in case is totally useless without any solution and the fact tha cant be used with igo8 which is far more better program than copilot.
Try to set inside "navigon/settings/general/orientation" the auto orientation; in this case, the navi panel will start always to portrait. If you need the landscape, set the orientation 90° to the left or to the right (in the same way like above).
Cheers.

Is it possible to modify the switch between potrait and landscape counter-clockwise instead of clockwise?
Maybe with some kind of registry setting, but default is not possible.
The device will remember the last change you made on Settings > System > TouchScreen.
So whatever you chosse there once, the toggle will switch between portrait and that sellection.
Cheers, s.

Hi there,
Just got the new Polaris. Is this possible at all? I am sure it is. May be some registry entry to edit. Please post if someone knows. Thanks
Yep, reg-setting, bugged me awhile back so i went searching in the reg: /HLM/System/GDI/Rotation
If i'm not mistaken (i didn't write it down ) you should have LandscapeFixed set to "1". Put it to "0" and in the usual controlpanel app you should be able to select left/right rotation. (you'll have 3 options instead of 2)
I noticed something weird with this today..
I wanted to map the voice command button to rotate the screen
So i did so via the System->Buttons and i noticed it rotated it the opposite direction as the Launcher from HTC home does...
I'm about to check out the reg setting, cause that annoys me :-\
I'm looking for a solution for a hermes, but assume it would be the same for wizard, kaiser, etc.
I'm often browsing the internet on my phone, and want to type just a few words without losing any screen estate to an onscreen keyboard, and without causing the screen to reprocess to landscape. I especially want to do this as I often have ms reader in the background, and it locks up the whole device while it repaginates the book.
Searching the obvious terms is just leading to people who want to rotate the screen without opening the keyboard - not want I want to do.
Any tips would be appreciated. I either want a way to lock the screen to portrait, or a way to make the device ignore the light sensor which tells it the keyboard is out (but if the keys could still light up, that would be a bonus.)
I`m using Opera, in portrait mode and I get keyboard to write -> the screen of my Kaiser flips in the opposite direction of my keyboard ._.
So yeah, this would be great.
if it works from a light sensor just cover it up with something maybe?
edit: it doesn't work lol, i also have this problem. my phone is too slow to handle this. i bet there's a registry setting for it. if i find anything out ill let you know
Okay, after further searching I found that someone had answered this question.

I now have rotate mapped to a button, (using spb pocket plus, rather than the program in the thread), so I rotate the screen manually when I want.
Lokioki - this solution will probably suit you for your opera problem.
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.

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 everyone!
I searched over the forum to find a way to keep the previous screen orientation when I push the power on button. It's useful when I cradle my Uni in the car...
Seems that I may stop the service "MIS1" but it has several side effects: it's hard to start again (requires registry modifications) and once stopped it doesn't make the screen to rotate anymore.
So, how can I make the screen to remain in landscape when I turned off my Uni in landscape mode?
Thank you for reading...
A solution may be hardware rather than software, if you ok to do such a thing.
Add slider button or similar to disable the internal switch.
Too much invasive for the device...
Since it seems to be a software function to reset to portrait mode every time the device wakes up, maybe there's a way to stop it, or to add a software button to enable/disable this feature...
On MSDN it's explained how to access the screen rotation features but I have no idea on how to do it...
Sound strange that nobody felt the need of such a trick before... Or not in the same way as me...
Thx...
try with mortscript.
use df task manager and configure that script in wake-up notification event.
Thank you for the suggestion, Tomal!
I partially did it.
When I'm driving in my car, I put the screen in landscape because of the cradle and I need the device to stay in landscape mode only in this case.
So I put in SPB Mobile Shell today a link to a script (using a renamed autorun.exe to make it appear in the programs list) that switches between landscape and portrait and writes on a file the status.
Then I added a link in the notifications list using DF's task manager to another script that reads the previous state from the file and flips the screen to landscape only if the file says that the device was in landscape.
Unfortunately WM6 seems to override the script and the screen barely returns to portrait on wake up.
I partially fixed it adding in the "notificated" script a 6 seconds wait time.
Doing this the screen rotate to portrait for a little time then returns, as it was supposed to, to landscape.
I need some more tests to ensure that the wait time doesn't create conflicts with other functions like phone or reminders.
One first upgrade would be to find a way to write on the file the screen status when the device goes to sleep, but I don't know how to do it.
The second, and most important, upgrade would be to understand why WM overrides the rotate function.
Another thought: I made a script that writes on a file the screen status on woke up. If I turn off the device while in portrait mode and I turn it back on, the script writes in the file that the screen is in portrait mode. Seems that when the notification starts the script reads the status wanted by Windows even if the screen appears in landscape for few seconds, then it rotates.
According to this, I supposed that the seconds needed to rotate weren't influent and Windows thought to be in portrait mode. But the other script won't work without a 6 seconds delay...
Any idea?
Sorry for the lenght...
You do not need to write on file, just write on registry.
Create a new reg key and add/remove all your values are there. It's the most reliable way.
just my two cents.
Auzman, don't know if you have found your solution. I was dwelling on iGo (NavNGo), that it sticks to landscape (when set, and I turn off/on Uni). However I think it's sneaky in that it isn't real landscape, but actually changes its images to suit the orientation you choose (in iGo) and totally ignores the PPC's (WM/Uni) orientation. But hey, it does mean I was still thinking of you ha!
Hello All,
This is my first post and I don't know if I out of the line for asking this, or am I violating any rules.
I been looking and searching in the HD2 form here in XDA-developers since I got my HD2 about 2 month now. There is one thing I don't quite understand: how the full landscape works for home screen.
I seen post that said the theme have to support the landscape mode, but is there anyway to adjust the phone to make all themes runs in landscape mode?
If there is what program I need and what I need to do?
If possible please let me know.
Thank you all in advance.
i'm not sure if this compatibility is built into the energy rom i have flashed to or if it is available on all stock roms...try this and let me know what you get. press start(or windows button) /settings/personal/buttons...choose the long press hold option for the send key and choose rotate screen option from the list of choices. you can manually press and hold the send key when you want a landscape view of your app or theme... also if you search bsb tweaks this app is able to configure auto rotation of apps via the g-sensor... hope this was of some help.
Or take a look here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=637671
23/2 -10 TX_Total_Landscape.cab -does what the name says, total landscape means also startmenu
Install this and try it.
Great let me try to mess around with it.
or what you can do is just get the bsb tweak, go to the rotation section -- select the options to rotate and head to the home screen and shake the phone. bsbtweak will recognize what you want to rotate and then restart the phone.
there you go... rotated home screen.
i tried all that, but it only display left half of the screen. does the theme i use have to support landscape mode for it to work?
