Landscape switch? - XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps

Hey,
is there a program that allows me to swtich to landscape and back when I want it?
Like when pressing a button it changes to landscape, when I press it again it goes back to normal

You could use AE Buttons Plus and assign any key to rotate the screen.

Nevermind, it's a standard feature if you go to Start - Settings - Buttons
and select <Rotate screen> or sth, I have a dutch phone

One difference though, with AE it's possible to rotate the screen not only 90 but even 180 and 270 degrees.

I'm able to switch from landscape to portrait and vice-versa by holding the left soft key for a few seconds. I'm running one of Jack's ROMs though, so he might have added something that enables this.

O2 ROM Updated, anyone found the Onscreen button?

O2 ROM Update, anyone found the Onscreen button for switching between Landscape and Portrait mode?
Try SPB Pocket Plus or VSR Utility
The onscreen button for screen rotation is only available on the Active page it looks like the PDA with a light blue screen next to the wirless antenna
I have no idea about O2. With Orange you have it in the Settings/System/Touch Screen/General. But it's for the whole system and not just for the running apps...

Look at the bottom of the screen, next to the Blue box.
It's right there.
:roll:
i mapped the function to one of the buttons, to flip whenever i want
I just use the O2 button that's on the thumbboard.

horizontal office

hi
how can I read office documents horizontally? I coudnt find any option about that
thanks!
Try with Gyrator2
in "Parameters" > tab "System" click on "Screen". You will be able to change the orientation.
It's a bit too far away for me, therefore I assigned the orientation change to the long press of the left button. Now, I just have to press the left button for 3 sec to switch the display between portrait and landscape.

Flipping the volume controls around

Does anyone know if there is an easy fix or a rom etc that has the volume buttons flipped around?
I am finding it infuriating, when in portrait mode, it's fine, the top button puts the volume up, and the bottom button puts it down. Rotate to landscape which is how i like using my tablets, and they stay the same meaning that you press the left button for the volume slider to move right (up) and the right button to make the slider go left (down). It is a stupid oversight. Up should be up and down should be down. It's like trying to comb my hair in a mirror!
+1 I also would like to swap the volume buttons.
wow, really? Might as well have plus and minus buttons like Apple
I noticed this as well. It doesn't bother me, but if a fix existed, I'd use it.

How does the button on the top left work ?

Hi, since I cannot go to a local store and physically touch the 5T, I have a Question:
1. The Button on the right side in the middle is the power button is this correct ?
2. There is another button on the top left, that looks like a switch in the pictures on Goolge.
2.1 How does this Button work, can you put it in two positions ? Or does it automatically slide back with a spring ?
2.2 What is the default functionality of this button on the top left ?
3. The Volume Key is one single key that you can press in two directions ( Up and Down ) correct? ,
3.1 It is not possible to simulate a up + down at the same time to give it a "third" key behavior ?
The button on the top left is an alert slider that can switch between three modes, ring, do not disturb and silent. You can press volume up and down at the same time, not sure if you can bind it to a function. The button on the right is the power button.
1. Correct, that's the power button.
2. The switch is an alert slider and it has three positions. The lower position is ring, do not disturb and silent or vibrate mode.
Putting the switch on ring means you get all the regular phone rings and alerts.
Putting the switch on do not disturb puts the phone in a non ringing, non vibrating mode.
Putting the switch on silent means the phone will not ring or give you audible alerts but will still vibrate when you receive a call, text or other type of alert.
The switch does indeed stay in place where you put it until you switch it to another position. Also, you can control certain settings within do not disturb and vibrate modes. In the photos I attached you can better see what options you have for those settings.
3. The key indeed is one single button, however you can press both up and down at the same time if you want to.

Rotate button with gestures

For those who wondered, you don't loose the rotate button if you choose gestures instead of soft buttons
When you rotate, this icon appear for a few seconds, and lets you choose rotation manually.
