Hello people.
I'm looking for an App that rotates the screen in Android.
I have a Kaiser flashed with eclair and all works great.
Only thing is is that my hardware keyboard doesn't work good anymore.
I like the android keyboard alot but I would like to use it on it's side.
Does anyone have an App like this or is it allready in android?
Grtz Perry
Perry, try app "RotateD".

I was under the impresssion that the screen should change from Landscape to portraite automically. Unfortunately, It only switches to landscape when the keyboard slides out. I have tried all the different programs and none of them make any difference. Only get portraite when the keyboard slides out. Have checked the G-Sensor and it seems to be wroking. The game that uses the g-sensor still works fine.
Is my understanding just wrong?
Thanks in advance

Mine's coming tomorrow, but I understood that not all screens will rotate. The browser screen should tho, did on my diamond. Not sure which others do. Does it work when browsing? How about photos? Thats another one that goes to landscape.

The screen is not supposed to automaticly rotate, but you can achieve that by installing a little app callet gyrator!
Is gyrator free? I saw a similar app by Bepe which was renamed to FlipIt in some Diamond ROMS.. It's free in Swtos thread..

Yes, gyrator is free!
Hello again.
Following the ROM update to Mitchyprima's 6.1 lite reloaded, I've been looking for apps and games that make use of the now active G-sensor.
So far I've found none.
The only thing it does at the moment is auto-rotate the screen when the device is turned.
I've installed lots of apps and games mostly designed for the touch and touch pro, but none of them work.
Can anyone tell me about any apps that are compatible with the X7510, or any dlls/mods I need to use to enable the G-sensor for accelerometer enabled apps?
Thanks.
i have an app called changer
you can add any app to the program and it will rotate is that what your looking for
You do not need any additional app to have rotation feature. This is already built in the ROM by Michy. You only have to go to G-sensor option and switch X7510 rotation on.
However if you are looking for some games and other apps then I can't help. I know GSen app for rotation, but now it is useless as we have it already and personally do not use anything else.
So nobody is using the G-sonsor for anything except rotating the screen?

I don't even use it for that! I find the automatic rotation a pain in the butt- it's so slow to repond that you have turned to device round and round waiting for it to happen, then it keeps rotating till it catches up with you
I've got AE ButtonPlus programmed to use the Home button to manually rotate the screen. Same with my Diamond- I use PocketPlus to manually rotate it
The screen also rotates to landscape when you put your X7510 on your keyboard.
I like is that way.
The only thing I might find usefull, is scrolling trough your web-browser with the G-sensor.
I don't know hoe accurate this is but you can measure the slope of a surface using the 'bubble level' concept.
Might be a demo but it is on a freeware site
I am using the G-Sensor Calibration for Diamond from this site and it works on the X7510.
Topic on that tool is here.
Hi all
I want to talk about sensorlock on Topaz.I've tried some versions eg 0.4/0.3,but none of them workedeek:nothing happened when click the icon in main menu or setting>personal menu).I guess it's due to the screen size,maybe it only works for VGA screens.
So is there any Sensorlock available for topaz?Plz give me some links to this soft,thx in advance.
WM6.5 21231
No there is not !
Sensorlock dont work on Topaz !
hmm....so bad
Maybe I might have a go at making one in visual studio!
Go and search for "S2U2" - Slide 2 unlock... its working fine on my TD2
Hi!
You could try touchlockpro, it works good and has a lot of features.

Thanks a lot,I'm also searching for this kind of app
Pocketshield works like a charm. You can unlock by movement getures, flipping the phone, slide on Diplay, use the light sensor ...

Hi all,
after reading so many posts that i thought my head would explode I thought i would ask some advice
which is the screen rotation app of choice?
I have loaded and unloaded Gsens, Gyrator, change screen and I am now totally confused.
The simples one ( cant even remember which one) was so simple to use - open app insert stylus- done! but it didnt work on lots of progs for me.
what i rally want is a nice simple app that allows me to choose which progs ( mainly text and word etc) to have rotated.
sorry for being such a pain
the phone is totally original by the way
many thanks
This one is my favourite:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=487991
I've also tried them all, and this is the best one! Easy to configure. Lets me choose which apps to rotate. That's it!
Thanks for the reply.
after a cup of coffee I hard reset the phone and tried again:
tried g-config. Dead easy to use but i could not get it working on loads of programmes.
I then tried Gyrator which seems to work really well ( though i cant get it to work on any of the programmes that still keep START on the top of the screen - is that correct?)
maybe i will try G- config again
thanks very much and keep up the sterling work
and whats wrong with my TD2 Tools app? it does everything g-config does but has the benefit of backing up and restoring the white list!
not heard of your app sir
give me a link and i shall investigate
thanks

you mean flip it rite? yeah, I think so too, its the fastest out there
changeScreen v2.78
I think it is the most user-friendly screen rotation programme.
Here's the link:

you can find flip-it by search. or under tom codon roms. sry no link. writing from mobile. .

It works very well in my TD2 with WM6.5.
Cool!! But it doesn't work for a part.
My today screen won't rotate (menu and contact do but the rest don't rotate)
I use a stock 6.1 rom.
Can someone help
why is it, which ever app i try (currently on flip-IT) when i rotoate the device, it starts to rotate (i.e. the windows start icon moves) ,then there is a flicker and nothing?
confused & thanks
Gyrator 2 is not difficult to use, and works great!
will Flip-it work on the Imagio. Is it very easy to use like Changescreen.

well it may not have the same user interface as the others but flipit is in my opinion the fastest rotater there is out there.
Read the small guide and remember to delete the regs regarding the normal gsensor, and the you will see that flipit - as standard - will rotate everything, if the app/page supports it.
This is the one I use, very simple!

Curious to see what you guys think about the best way to manage rotation on the HD2. Looks like Gyrator has the smaller footprint of the two I list. Wondering how you guys manage rotation on screens that are not natively supported like the Today screen, and so on.
Bump. Anyone?
By far the best solution is imo changeScreen! Works similar as Gyrator but it is more light weighted and it is also very reliable.

Interesting. Didn't work for me, but Gyrator is spot on. Guess I'll stick with that. Thanks for the suggestion, though!
Have you set up your changeScreen-configuration? E.g. the Manila home screen is by default on the exception list because it does not work with ANY program to rotate Manila 2.5 correctly (in later Manila versions the rotation support comes natively). But just try it e.g. within the startmenu or within any filemanager - everything works brilliantly because lots programs support rotation natively - HTC just didn't implement a proper use of the g-sensor... don't ask me why...
Ok, just tried it again and it's working with pretty much everything I want it to rotate, but it seems that eWallet doesn't play nice with either ChangeScreen or Gyrator.
One thing I noticed is that Gyrator seems to be faster in responding to changes. Not a deal-breaker, but just wondering why.
Bump this up to the top. Did either ChangeScreen or Gyrator allow for 180* rotation in Portrait?
I'd love to be able to the HD2 in a cup holder while driving and have the charging port facing up.
