[Q] Landscape mode - Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm not sure if this is the correct thread for this question, but please feel free to move if you see fit mods.
Ok, I am developing an app and would like to do the following:
Display one set of information (plus/minus buttons and numbers) in a portrait mode page and then switch to a landscape mode page that I've made to display the info (without the buttons).
Where I'm at right now is I don't think I can use PortraitOrLandscape in my main xaml file because I don't want to use the same buttons and controls.
Thanks!

Pocket CM Theme Help

I have a few questions but this one is the most important for now.
Is there a way to change the height of the images to the bottom of the screen. as in the one of SMS, Phone, Fav., etc. I want to change the height in the settings.ini file but cant find where the setting is.
Also is there a way to have variable heights as in when i press a image i use a completely different pic like a hat when not pressed then a rabbits head out the hat when pressed?
Any help will help..
Thanks in advanced..
I'd suggest looking at the PocketCM forums for this...
http://pocketcm.com/phorum/
i tried but.. there are many who make themes here.. i am sure someone must know what command is used to control the image height of the press buttons on the bottom of PCM..
I found what I was looking for and it worked out perfect ;-)
thanks..

Landscape mode without sliding QWERTY keyboard

This is my fisrt post on this forurm, so first of all - I want to welcome everybody
Now the problem...
I have got one question: Is there any program or other "tip" that will allow me to switch between landscape and portrait mode by pressing specified button (with QWERTY keyboard hidden all the time) ?
Sometimes I want to use landscape mode, but i don't need QWERTY keyboard. And as we all can say - Vox without slided out QWERTY keyboard is more handy, shapely and graceful
Anyone can halp me?
Celetask can do it for you - no idea if there is a shortcut option somewhere. Usually the applications that would benefit from landscape allow to rotate the screen content by themselves (e.g. TCPMP).

of course aebutton plus can do this for you it allows asign a key for rotating the screen
like longpress home or camera it doesnt affect normal button function if you set it correctly!
I've posted an app somewhere long ago, but I can't remember where. I'll try to find it! (unfortuately xda-devs statistics only show the last 500 post in my history, so I can't find it in there^^)
Maybe this should help -> http://handheld.softpedia.com/get/Others/RBC9-Landscape-40862.shtml
frauhottelmann - I'll be pleased But don't hurry or something, i won't die without it ;P
torrentonly - I belive that application is for touchscreen devices (look when "Start" is)
Great thanks o all of you!
I use this little app (2,9 kb). I don't remember where I have found it, but I think that is freeware because it is minimalist and don't have any credits.

Best Landscape App Help

Hi There.
I am currently using TX Total Landscape and I have a few problems.
When in Manilla on the contacts tab, the contacts do not fill the screen but remain in a 3 column config to one side of the screen.
Music and Photo&video tabs do not act as they usually do when turned into landscape (they remain up-down scrolling instead of changing to their usual side-side scrolling that they have without the mod)
Is there a landscape mod/app that is better. in other words that you can select which tabs will rotate and which will act as normal.
Thanks in advance.

That does not work well at all in manilla. Screen stays blank when in landscape mode.

[Q] Manual screen rotation

Hi,
I have a Wits A81E tablet device which doesn't has G-Sensors, However, sometimes I do need to change the screen orientation from landscape to portrait and vice-versa. Does anybody familiar with any application which is able to do that?
P.S - I have tried using "RotateD" which works great but for some reason it installs 2 icons which would be inconvenient to use as I want to put the rotation icon on the dock bar.
Thanks
I also had a hell of a time locating a manual rotate sceen until a member from slatedroid helped me out
He informed me of adw launcher is best used with this rotate app, not clear on why but also never tested without it yet. I had sum trouble getting it to work at all until i had to change sum setting around. Now it works and now im happy to go portrait. The keyboard was one main reason as it was to large for even two thumb typing (but portrait is great for two thumbs)
I be right back with more info...
Ok its called rotating screen. Version 1.0. Not sure how he got his hands on it but a search result yeild nothing. So instead of uploading here, in fear, just pm me your email and ill send the instructions as i got.

Question [TB-Q706F] Rotate screen in desktop mode.

Is it possible to flip the screen or rotate to portrait in desktop mode? I've tried apps that control rotation and i've tried via ADB but nothing worked.

Nope. That's why its desktop mode. Switch it off and rotate freely
That's too bad. I find portrait mode more useful when watching some videos and still doing some browsing or emails.
Video on the top in 16:9 and nice neatry square window below. And some floating windows for little things.
But i guess it's their way or the highway.
And on my work pc I have 4 displays 3 of them in portrait mode. So desktop isn't synonymous with landscape.
He'll I used to have my CRT back in the day.
4:3 in portrait was nice for writing thesis with lots of equations to keep all in view.

Unfortunately they didnt think programmers couldn't benefit of it (that's why i would like the rotation on desktop mode too :/), anyway, maybe they could add that on future updates.
It's a shame that such uses are not taken care of. It's a great piece of hardware. Both for work and entertainment. I just wish there was a bit more flexibility when it comes to its use.
But at least in next update the touchpad on the dedicated keyboard should start functioning properly in portrait mode.
But there are a lot of tiny things that should have been caught in QA.
I hope as the time goes by there will be more allowances for more flexible use.
