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.

Thanks just what I wanted
Hey everyone,
i just wanted to know, how can i make the HD's screen go Landscape whenever i want to?
tnx
Hi,install HD tweak,activate rotation screen ( 17.8) and choose left softkeys to rotate the screen . Otherwise you can use,gsen,gyrator,mobile magic to choose which application you want to rotate .
Thank you very much Marcdu81!!
But . . . Manila look like rubbish in landscape. Unless you have the newer version installed. Dutty 1.8 & 1.9 contain it. and the newer ROMs by more cooks have it in newest products. But the problem is, although it is faster, works in landscape and has a nice calendar tab, most mods and tweaks for the older Manila don't work for it; including like color topbar, 15 tabs, icons and backgroundforallpages don't work. So for time being its a mixed blessing. But give it a bit of time New versions of all the old tweaks and mods will be available eventually.
Hey
when i prees the option to rotate the screen to landscape mode, it works great, but after i get out of the "Settings" screen it goes back to portrate mode...
why is that?
is it any related to the device Rom?
the Rom version i have is 1.19.831.0
i dont know what Dutty Roms are...\=
thanks for your answers!
Hi, can somebody help me to answer my question?
I like to have a landscape theme (mode), but I don´t know how to do it.
I´ve heard, that there is no way to get a landscape unless I flash my phone to another rom, what I actually don´t want, because the phone is still under garanty.
Is it true or does it gives another way to get a landscape?
I would like this too, going landscape without having to install a new ROM or something.
I use AEB+ to map the OK button to rotate 90 degrees (and back) so with a double press on that key I get rotate whenever I want. I did not want an automatic rotate like with gyrator.
AEB+ is shareware but the non-registered works great and has almost 100% functionality:

Thx for your Info,
but the rotation is not a propblem it´s an secondary issue.
I can rotate my screen, but than I will get just the half of the screen, means only the clock on the left side and on the other half side I don´t get anything.
So, the question is, is it possible to get a "theme" or a cab of "manilas" to have the possibility to change the screen with a nice view, without to change the rom?
Hi guys,
I got a problem with S2U2. The clock is displayed fine on my hd when the fone locks. But the sliding bit only appears on half of my screen and the battery is not displayed correctly either. It looks like the power of the battery is outside it. Any help pls!!!
My first guess is either you have wrong version of S2U2 ie not the WVGA or your theme isnt WVGA. Try looking there.
Hi everyone....
I´m currently using Duttys ROM 2.6 (love it!!) with my Touch HD. The New HTC Album application ist really great and fast but features only one zoom-Option by double tapping on the Display...
This is because HTC integrated a special Zoom-Bar to zoom Pictures, website etc with their new devices (works great on on the Diamond 2 by the way...)
Since the Touch HD does not have real HardwareButtons but virtual buttons I´m wondering if it´s possible to turn these buttons into a kind of zoom bar, since the whole area below the display seems to be touch-sensitive...
I´ve used a similar software with my Touch Diamond (gscroll), so I´m wondering if there´s a way to do something like that with the Touch HD...
Best regards from Germany...
Hey m8 just make a circle around that portion of the picture you want to zoom (cw to zoom or ccw to unzoom) its simple. No need for wheels
he is talking about the new version. in the new htc album version there is only one fixed zoom available. circles dont work anymore, because you instantly move the picture. the helps tells about a zoombar to use, but there is no displayed. i have no clue how to zoom in more than only this standard zoom
+1 for this! I agree an onscreen zoom bar similar to opera 9.5 woud be useful;-)
...not good...
I the new album really faster then the old one... If NOT - use the old album... I post you the EXE file.
A good idea is to use a "slide over the 4 buttons" on the front of our HD to simulate a zoom in/zoom out effect.
I think there will be soon a solution for this. There must be a solution, because if not: then we, old HD 1 users, will not be able to use the new HTC applications
I dont want to change to the old Album since the new one is definetly faster when switching between Pictures and the Picture panning feature when zoomed is really good... I´d just love to be able to zoom a little better
So I´ll keep reading the Post to get all the fancy new Stuff for my HD
Hey Animaster,
,can you please post the NEW Album exe
You convinced me AND I think I cna do something about the zooming problem (not sure now... but maybe...)
look in the android topic, they where able to map 5 buttons to the bottom bar (if i rember corectly) maybe that can give you a starting point

There is noone (!!!) who could remap the HOME button on the bottom bar of our Touch HD, and I'm sure i cannot either...(yet )
I thought about something simpler! When the active (front) process is named HTCAlbum.exe or OperaL.exe I can map the Volume UP and Volume DOWN buttons to the ZOOM routine! This is pretty simple to do, but will be ok
so please post the new ALBUM EXE

ok friend . I say that I think focusing on create an onscreen zoom slider like opera for new htc album is more easier to try to make an app that use mapping of hardware keys to zoom in htc album like hd2
. do you see now ?
Y don try out the resco photo manager v7?
It has the zoom bar and autorotate function as well.
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,
Jeff
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

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,
jeff
Bump!
I have the same problem, looked everywhere and can find any solution...
