Hey im just trying to change my screen to always be in landscape i trying to do it but its not worrking i understand every thing till it say "Change the Value of "Angle" to the FF:" please some one give me more detailed instructions
Set the Screen Orientation thru Registry and works only after soft reset
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\ROTATION]
Change the Value of "Angle" to the FF:
dword:00000000 or dword:00000360 -> Portrait Mode
dword:00000090 -> Landscape(Right-Handed)
dword:00000180 -> Portrait Up-side Down
dword:00000270 -> Landscape (Left-Handed)
Hide/Unhide Screen Orientation Option in Screen Module[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\ROTATION]
"HideOrientationUI" -> set 0 to unhide, 1 to hide
Set Fix Landscape(Right-Handed) Mode and No Landscape(Left-handed) in Screen Settings
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\ROTATION]
"Landscapefixed"-> set 0 if disable, 1 to enable
What device are you doing this on?

I thought you could change it in settings/screen
i want to change it for good so if i open and close it it will still be in landscape
There are a few ways:
1. Use an app that will rotate the device to landscape, and install a power on notification to launch that on every power on. That way the device will auto rotate itself properly.
2. Remove the magnetic sensor. Semi permanent and dangerous.
3. There is I think a registry hack to force this, but I could never find it again. Search the board using google [http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=322565] and try to find it. Let me know if you find it!

PS I wrote VJUzumaki to disable the autorotation properly. However, it's not released (yet).
the registry hack is in my first post i need help with the instructions
there's a less permanent, but far simpler, easier and less intrusive method that I use. Under start, settings, buttons, pick a button that you don't use often, and assign it to rotate screen. I rarely use the camera, and when I do it's easy to get there through the menus, but I use rotate maybe half the time I use the phone

Lanscaper App.... you mean, you can freeze your device in Landscape mode and not have it witch to portrait when you open and close the keyboard??
If so could you please post this app?

Have u tried "ChangeScreen"?
Works great on Diamond.
I've tried changescreen, but i found that the exception program function sometimes not work...
Go to dutty site there is one.
You can download the package posted by Luxatr in Program COLLECTION for Blackstone.
Somewhere in the package you'll find a .cab for FlipIt.

Where can I find some instructions on how to set up Flip It? I like it, but would only want it working in a couple of apps... it can be annoying how slight movements make it spin the screen round all the time.

I agree..wot i dislike it's the sensibility of flipit. in example...it's totally impossible to drive with my tomtom in landscape e flipit on, the programm goes in landscape and portrait continuosly..very ****ting. I would know if i can set up a 2 second delay in flipit.
First off, huge LOL at '..very ****ting'
But yeah, I agree. I turn it off right away as it is far to sensitive. For example, when holding my HD reasonably flat, I don't want it to rotate at all... only when I'm holing it upright, once I lay it flat, it should stay in whatever I have it in... portrait or landscape.
I find it can get confused and mix portrait and landscape elements together and you have to wait more than a few seconds for it to sort itself out, this is a real pain, I can't see how anybody finds this useful
Right - I'm getting to grips with Flip IT and setting exceptions for programs that I dont want to flip and mostly having success... however... I can't for the life of me work out how to stop the phone dialer & call history (amongst others) to stop flippin flipping!
Where I have to enter a "class name or window text" I have put "phone" as this is the "window text" but this has no effect.. I have searched using Total Commander for an executable but cant find anything. Have seached and googled with no joy... Any suggestions welcome!!
Since I'm using Dutty's ROM (2.5), I'm trying to set up FlipIt according to my wishes... I want Manilla to rotate (works fine), but when the screen is locked (using the standard lock), I want the orientation to allow 0 degrees only. Which application should I add to the list to do this?
(by the way, I've set the default orientation to 0 degrees only, and Manilla to 0, 90 and 270 degrees. Now, when I apply the screen lock, the screen remains in the orientation it is in (being either 0, 90 or 270), but I want it to return to 0 degrees under lock)

I believe cprog.exe is used for the phone screen, you could try to add rules for that

flipit doesn't work
i installed flipit on the french custom rom but it doesn't work. please help
Flip IT is in settings> system.
Open Flip IT and there is a box to "Enable GSensor"... tick this. Then you can choose to have all applications enabled by using the global function or set specific rotation angles for specific applications.
Good luck!
it's installed in the devise, enable Gsensor is cheked, a soft reset is done after install, cheked the app to rotate, redo a soft reset ..... but always not working
only the normal rotation in photo album and opera is working
EDIT: my flip it is in programmes not in settings
Hello im looking for something that will allow me to always enter next via landscape - i have tried changescreen but that didnt really work that well, it took ages for it to turn the screen on its side and would always change my lifestyle screen on its side despite telling the app that i wanted it always upright. im just looking for something that will allow me to enter text using the screen on its side - got any ideas?

Sounds like you didn't quite have changeScreen configured correctly, as it should work fine. Did you turn up the sensitivity all the way? Manila always in portrait? If it's giving you alot of trouble, you can always try gyrator (or GSen).
Try Flip it and make sure you have the 270 degree box ticked then you can enter txt via landscape

i tried all the setting and none worked how i wanted. yeah i want mobile shell only displayed in portrait but it always changes to landscape after sending messages which then takes ages to go back
The best way, in my opinion (after trying all different rotation apps and seeing how they crash the system all the time..), is to assign the long press call button (instead of voice dialing) to screen rotation. The only thing you need to do is enable (using Schaps' Advance Config 3.3) "Show Screen Orientation" and then go into Start->Settings->Personal->Buttons and assign "Button 1(Hold)" to "Rotate Screen".
After all my other attempts, I think this way you control when you want it to rotate and it is the best option..
Good luck..

thanks in advance
Try tilt your head for screen rotate... LOL... joking....
are you using stock HD ROM? If yes, try download HDTweak and enable landscape/portrait mode.
Then you can go to Settings->Screen and select landscape/portrait mode.

Dear all,
I have installed the screen rotate successfully however when i go in to the screen and change from portrait to landscape it does not let me save it.
pls help on how to keep it on to landscape.i have tried everything else.
thanks
Deepak12345
are you saying that after you rotate it to landscape, you want to keep it in landscape even if you rotate the phone back to portrait?
there are a couple of ways you can do this:
1) Use the long-key press in Settings --> Personal --> Buttons; then press "assign a program" and select <Rotate Screen> from the drop down menu
or alternatively:
2) Use the program: changeScreen by 600GOL. It's a great little program that doesn't use too much memory. you can get it from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=468488
Just make sure that for Manila, you've ticked the landscape mode. And then it's done! From experience, cooked ROMS are usually the best ROMS to get landscape in because some stock ROMS don't really support rotation. You can get cooked ROMS from the Blackstone ROM development forum. Have some fun but don't forget to backup!
G-Config will let you set which applications automatically enable rotation when the phone is turned... check it out.
many thanks guys for getting back to me-will certainly give it a go now
if you want the screen automatically rotate in all application... try GYRATOR2....
Hi,
Have also installed gyrator2 but it will not rotate the screen,may be i am been daft-can u please guide me step by step if not asking 4 too much pls?
To rotate manila you would need version 2.0 or above. A lot of the earlier stock roms come with versions below this which don't support rotation. You would need to flash to a newer stock rom or to a cooked rom
Hi all,
Quick one i hope. One thing that really annoys me about this phone is when im receiving a call depending on the angle of it when i take it out of the case, im unable to answer a call because the screen is midway on a portrait / landscape rotation.
Even the button to answer a call refuses to work until the screen has rotated.
So can I stop it for the "receiving call" screen? Can i make it always be portrait?
Thanks,
D.
Do you have your messaging on auto-rotate, meaning you can type on both portrait and landscape mode without opening up the hardware keyboard? Coz, it does the same thing on my TP2. I have g-config installed on my phone and I did set the WM messaging on auto-rotate. Ever since I did that, my in-call screen also rotates depending on the angle I picked my phone up. So if you have the same situation, just disable the auto-rotation using g-config.

I have the same deal here too, I know how to stop it, but this would also stop sms reply and email replys from auto rotating.
If you always use your keyboard to type, you can go into g config and remove all entries that say "dialog" and your call screen will stop rotating after a reset.
I like to use swype in landscape mode and would like to keep that rotation for sms replies but still stop my incoming call from rotating.
Any ideas?
you can use the text message program in manila instead, that uses manila.exe.

This works but then all of manilla rotates, like the today screen and some others. I dont want that either.
Thanks,

I just remembered that i have GyRator 2 installed. And with it yeh if i rotate the screen in an sms without sliding the keyboard, it does rotate.
Ideally i just want to know what i can edit, or install to control what screens rotate, and which dont.
Sounds like i need to look at g-config then?
I dont really understand this manilla.exe though?
Thanks for your replies.

Hi dlthorpe
Yes, I can see how this problem is annoying. One thought is that there is a G-Sensor section of the registry which can be edited which, without any third party software allows screen rotation in various different applications. The same is actually true for the Zoom Bar and I think that the registry entries are adjacent.
Do a search for that. Just one hint, the executable file (and therefore process) that runs the phone canvas application is called cprog.exe If you remove this from your G-Sensor list, your phone screen should stop rotating with the phone's position.
Thanks
andrew-in-woking
Hrm, curious about this as well (want SMS to rotate, don't use Manilla, and want CPROG to stop rotating). cprog.exe isn't in my G-Config list (and never was, custom ROM) but the canvas still rotates. Perhaps there's more to it?

I am in the same boat, I have deleted all out of my g config exept IE, opera and sms dialog and still the phone screen rotates too.
I have used the search with my resco reg editor for the g sensor but I can only find the settings for things like the polling interval and such, not anything that resembles the apps that are allowed to rotate.
Can someone get us pointed in the right direction?
thanks,

Bump!
I have the same problem, looked everywhere and can find any solution...
I have a tmobile TP2 running SPB Mobile shell... just wondering if theres any way I can keep the phone in Landscape even with the keyboard closed and without always having the phone on its side. Is there a program I can download and run or something in the settings or file system I can change so that the screen always stays landscaped? Any help is apprectiated please and thank you!
no one?
Alright. aparently I am the only person [right now] that wants to keep their phone in landscape at all times, BUT if someone else does come across this I did figure out how to edit the registry and keep it in landscape.
First you need to have a registy editor.. obviously.
Second you need to change this -
Enable Manual Screen Rotation (Portrait/Landscape): HKLM - System - GDI - Rotation - HideOrientationUI (change from 1 to 0)
and Third go into
HKLM - HTC - htcsensor - iskbrotatebackportrait (change from 1 to 0)
Then you can go into Settings - Screen - Select Landscape Orientation and hit okay. Should switch it to landscape and stay even after the keyboard has been out and pushed back in.
There are multiple applications that can do this and they can all be found in this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=550973
My personal favorite and the one I currently use is Gyrator.
It runs in the background and allows you to set screen rotation rules for any or all application the device. It wouldn't be hard at all to set a rule for what you require.
... and yeah, I honestly think you're the only person that would ever want to keep their phone in landscape at all times. I'm not particularly fond of reading text sideways.

I tried this and it did work, when I ran the script the screen rotated fine, but as soon as I slid the keyboard out and back in it rotated right back to portrait mode again...?
To go along with my original post it DOES work when I change that value but as soon as I get a text or something and open the text [all in landscape] and close the SMS program it rotates right back to portrait.
I don't know how to fully write a script for mortscript but I think all I need is a script that will tell the IsKBRotateBackPortrait to always stay at a value of 0 and I would be good.
I can't get it to just stay at a value of 0. anymore help would be wonderful and thanks again!

Okay in that case it does sound like I am reading it sideways lol I apologize, but what I really meant was without having to rotate the phone onto its side and wait for the screen to rotate. I just want landscape all the time, every screen, without ever going to portrait.
Alright, in what will hopefully be my last post on this thread of me sorta talking with myself. While looking through the list of programs that was in the thread posted by SlyMaelstrom I found one called Changescreen. Link is here
http://idevelopstuff.com/dev/WM/Fuze/changeScreen/
Downloaded the cab and installed, its very simple to use and works like a charm. Set it to only have landscape as its orientation and it worked, never changes back.
Only problem I had was that it wont let you access the Dialer to dial phone numbers while in landscape, so I set an exception inside the program to switch to portrait so dialer can be used. Otherwise everything is good to go.
Thanks again SlyMaelstrom and meromar for the help!
