Screen does not change from Portriate to landscape

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..

What's with TF2D/manilla 2d and landscape?

Hey guys, i'm currently using TF2D on my Tilt and i have the landscape settings installed, made by btprice.
I've noticed that it is about 60% functional. However the messages, contacts, music, and email tabs all display nothing.
Pictures,home, and settings all display their tab but are not scaled and positioned for landscape mode.
Weather and programs tabs are completely functional. I haven't tried location though.
Now, i was thinking of fixing the images for landscape mode. but upon reading the forums a little bit more, i saw the diamond gold blend theme. the author stated that manilla2d will never be fully landscape. does anyone have an answer as to why this is?
I would really love to get TF2D in landscape, and i'm willing to help with the graphics. mbarvian's alternative(even though he did a great job) is just too slow for me.
thanks!

Compatible G-Sensor games and apps

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.

Seems to work perfectly thanks.

HD2 Rotation: Gyrator or HTCSensorConfig?

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.
