I would like to make a one-touch shortcut to rotate the screen from portrait to landscape (and back), or at the very least a way that is easier than going through the screen settings menu on my XDA Orbit. Any suggestion please? It's so that I can us ethe wider screen whilst running tomtom6.
Thx
Pete
i've got mine on the button to the left, i believe it is for voice contact but I never use it.
start - settings - Personal - buttons - button 6 <rotate screen>
Yep cheers smasma, I found that when I went to set my buttons up after upgrading to wm6. Cheers for the reply!

What choices of other ROM are there for my Orbit?
toms B&B v4 at the mo till v4.1 is realeased but im sticking with v4 does me
my avitar is my screen on my orbit
nice huh?
Aye I might try that. I have to down-grade my rom to WM5 first yes? From reading-up I take it I can do that without having to unlock the cid, since I have the o2 WM5 rom? Just a case of flashing it down?
i flashed to wm6 then tried to go to toms rom didnt work
downgraded to wm5 o2 rom then using uspl did the B&B rom
worked a treat
This cab puts a screen rotation icon on lower part of screen. You tap on it, and screen rotates. I ´ve tested it only under WM5

Doesn't seem to work on an O2 Orbit with WM6. Installs OK, but no icon appears.
Sorry! My mistake. Requires a reset after installation. Many thanks.

Hey Everyone.
Im having some problems with the XButton in toms new B&B 4.
It seems really uggy, when i try to press it with my thumb to close apps down, it just doesnt close things at all and acts like i did not press the button. But when i press it with the stylus, it works everytime.
Sometimes, when i press the x button when in programs such as contacts etc, it thinks that i just clicked the menu button in the bottom right, or starts thinking iv clicked on a contacts name. But again, when i tap x with the stylus, it works fine.
It seems to me that the "touchable" area of the x button is set to a small "stylus" sized touch. Not a larger thumb sized touch?
Anyone else with this problem?
same problem
read thru the B&B 4 thread. This issue of the X button has been addressed.
Ok - Read through the thread, even used search but could not find anyone stating this was fixed?
Could anyone point me to a post? I genuinly have looked through the thread.
Possibly solved this.
I downloaded and installed the latest HTC X-Button 1.51.
This *so far* has seemed to solve the x button issue.
The HTC X-Button 1.51 is attached, just copy to your device and run it.
Yep this has pretty much solved the x button issue for me.
In B&B 4 in the X Button options is selected by default "End programs by tapping and holding X". If you change the option to "End programs by tapping X" should be ok.
Hey
No it wasnt that. It just wasnt letting me tap the x button at all with my thumb. like i said, it worked fine with the stylus.
Anyways, updated to xbutton 1.51 and it seems to have done the trick.
hi mates!
i have flashed the B&B 4.0 fom tom_condon (Great Great work dude!!!!) and updated the htc X-Button to the last version and have a problem:
some of the icons of top right of the screen just disapear. You can't see them but they still there (you can tap them).
Take a look to the screenshot and you will see what I mean (because if you have to understand my english, you're in big troubles )
thnx in advance
P.D. Sorry again for my poor english

I have Slide to unlock 2 on my HD, some times when I press the power button to turn on S2U2 comes up but only on half of the screen so I cannot use the slide. The only thing I can do is take out the stylus or take of the back and press reset. I think it has something to do with Gyrater 2 ? Any ideas please.....
try to add s2u2 to exceptions list of gyrator
I have an other problem. After locking it doesn´t show my weather. It shows only one time left down my weather, since than no viewing anymore.
Can somebody telling me, what I do wrong (maybe in the configuration)
Have you chosen Manila 3d as your weather source in the s2u2 settings?
Is your manila weather up to date?
I believe you can't run TF3D and have the S2U2 display the weather. Try turning of TF3D and watch the weather pop right up in S2U2 (wish they'd fix that)

God damned, you are right. So soon if I of TF3D it pops up on the screen. man, that can not be the way. These guys who are responsible for this program have to think about it.
Anyway, just want to say it and thanks for helping.
Hi,

Hey all. I've done a few searchs and read through a bunch of ROM threads (god, the dutty ones are full of stupid posts by stupid people), but haven't found any real answers.
How do we disable auto rotate / landscape mode in the new v3 Manila?
Is there any way of getting back the old notifications functionality where you click any of the icons along the top, and it brings up a screen with bigger icons for Notifications/Sound/Connections.
Use the old pop up menus? I am aware there's a tweak to make the 8 item menu into a 10 item. Can that hack be extended to 15 items?

If you use Dutty Extreme, then you had to enable the landscape rotate in the first place! In which case, to turn it off you just uninstall the "Dutty Enable Landscape" cab from "remove programs"

Nope, which is a real shame because the new notifications screen is USELESS! the "new text" is not the only thing that's useful to see! You can, however, disable the new notifications menu by going to the Task Manager (built into Duttys Extreme - sorry I can't help with where in the start menu it is because I've moved everything around to my own taste!) then go to Services and change the Notifications thingy to be "manual"

The thread that tells you how to get to 10 items actually meantions that these settings were just how that person had arrived at something that used the whole screen height perfectly. He explained which values change what and you should be able to adapt that to get whatever height of menu you want!
Hope that helps!

I'm using a different ROM now. I'm using the Lite one to try the speeds and the auto landscape is already cooked in. I was reading Dutty's because his ROM was the first to have it. I searched the thread where I got my ROM, but no one seems to dislike the auto rotate *shrug*. I don't mind it except in bed when I'm on my side.

Ok, I guess I'll modify the registry. Was hoping to disable it altogether as I don't find it all that pretty and it's simply bloat. On many apps, the new menus don't fit the theme at all.
Thanks for your helpful suggestions!

In that case, I suggest using AE Button to map one of the volume buttons to "rotate screen", then you can over-ride the auto-rotate on a case by case basis by rotating the screen manually. I've got it set to long press of volume up and down for rotating each way, so if something gets stuck, or as you say I'm lying down, then I can over-ride whichever way I want.

I've tried disabling the auto rotate for all programs, and while it works, it interferes with some other rotation programs. I use kaisoft's screen rotate, and when i rotate something, the orientation gets forced back to portrait a few seconds later.
I've gone back to Dutty's 1.7 ROM as it suits my needs better. I'm finding auto rotation with the new manila has not improved any more since the old gsen/gyrator days when people had tonnes of problems. It's still a hassle controlling what you want rotated.
Thanks
try this which i found somewhere in dutty's thread:
HKCU\Software\HTC\HTCSENSOR\GSensor
Change the autorotation key to 0
this is the only thing changed, i've not tried the above reg.
it stopped the auto-rotation for me and also solved the photo orientation bug while in camera
opera will still rotate
it works!

Yes, this way works. It stop Manila auto-rotation, but it also effects the orthers software.

How to edit the registry to enable any bottoms to unlock the screenlock in WM 6.5? I have tried the method of WM6.1 but there is no response.
The path in WM 6.1: HKLM\HARDWARD\OEM\KEYBD change the KeyLock from 1 to 0
One more problem, how to move the X bottom and start bottom to the bottom of the screen?
Hope anyone can understand my poor English and help me. Thanks~!T.T

You can't change that in 6.1. If you go to 6.5 then those will be at the bottom of the screen instead of the top.

I am using the offical ROM (WM6.5) which download from HTC Hong Kong Website, but those bottom are at the bottom of the screen...... Any suggestion for me? Or cook the ROM is necessary?
Sorry, I gave you the wrong information there. It is builds of 6.5.3 (and upwards) that have the buttons at the bottom. Standard 6.5, e.g. from official ROMs, will still have them at the top. You will need to look for a cooked ROM, there aren't any official ROMs like that yet.

How about the registry edit of the unlock screenlock function? Do you know that? I think the bottom on the top is going to out of order......./_\
Hi All,
It'e been 3 months since release of CHT 2.0 ..
I have a hTC HD Mini. and I use CHT with HVGA Port.
I found some very minor bugs while using it. I am not sure if it is due to the porting or not.
One of the bug: If I turn off the phone screen when I am on Music Tab and then turn it on again ... when I unlock the screen I find the "Library" and "Menu" option at the bottom disappeared .. instead .. there is "Phone" and "Menu" option as if I am on my Home tab. Does anyone else face the same problem ?
I hope these bugs will be resolved in the next version ... and I want to ask when should we expect the CHT V2.1 ?
Thanks.
dude CHT 2.0 thread is HERE
so ask THERE!!!!

Hola, I would not expect any update or new releases of CHT in the near future ,-) Maybe we should ask and help Tummy to finish the HVGA Port of CHT instead of asking for further releases of CHT
Regarding your issue when turning your screen off.... I just checked it and don´t have your problem. I use CHT Lockscreen, so when I push the upper button (for screen off, lock, long press device off, etc...), my screen turns off, but doesn´t lock my device.... which is what I want Pushing it again, it turns screen back on where and how it was before...
