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.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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
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!
I have enabled the AutoLock feature with Diamiond Tweaks, and it is working fine, but is there at way to set a time for autolock for exsamble 30 sek, when the device is on, now it is only working when i push the power buttom and turn off the screen or holding lock key down.

Have you tried S2U2 (Slide 2 Unlock 2)? It's freeware and you can get it here;

Then there is TouchLockPro, especially for the Topaz Here's the XDA thread;

Have fun
I'd like to know if there is a way to prevent Topaz from autolock on some occasions, e. g. when i have mobipocket on, i don't wanna my phone to autolock. Is it possible?
try this one
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.
I have an htc Touch HD
used almost all of the wm6.5.x roms and on all of them the same problem.
with autolock function enabled using HD Tweak when the back light is deeming due to small time of touching the screen when tapping again the light want return to default (bright so i can use it).
i must turn off the screen (using the power button) to revert and start using the phone again.
Any one has a solution for this?!
ps: Backlight is on auto adjust mode
Don't use that autolock, it causes the problems that you just stated. Use csdevctrl instead:

Its a little tricky to figure out, but the autolock on it works perfectly. I can't remember what you have to press to initiate the autolock, but it isn't called autolock, something like lock display after suspend
