i have been looking 4 an app like nueKBlight (thats 4 tp1). i actually tried that 1 and i dont think it works cuz kb lights turned off.
is there any tweak/app 2 keep the kb lights on as long as the the kb is open?
also when i close the sliding kb it auto rotates back 2 portrait. how can i keep it landscape after i close kb? i tried all the g-sensor apps an it seems to always glitch back 2 portrait then 5-10 secs later back 2 landscape.
also when in portrait the touch screen kb comes on but i turn 2 landscape an open sliding kb the onscreen kb stays even when kb is open. is there any way 2 shut off screen kb when you slide open the kb.
am i gonna have 2 wait 4 some off this apps/tweaks until no2chem makes available 4 tp2?
thanks 4 any helpful answers

I've tweaked the Rhodium to auto rotate on just about everything, so it goes to landscape when I rotate the phone without having to slide out the keyboard.
problem is, it takes 5 elephants to rotate, and only 2 elephants to rotate back to portrait, I've set the G-Sensor polling rate to 50 but it made no difference at all to this. I would guess there is a control somewhere for this, either in the registry or hard coded in a file, anybody upto the task of finding out where the setting is ?
Slightly off topic, I've noticed that pictures don't rotate with the device anymore like they did in the Touch pro, this is a bit of an annoyance too because scrolling through pic's in landscape shows the images on their sides, not sure if this is a bug or by design ?

What auto-rotator are you using?
I use changescreen, and my auto-rotation is fast.
I do these reg-edits with changescreen:
Code:
HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\GSensor\PollingInterval = 50 (Dword)
HKCU\Software\idevelopstuff\changescreen\Delay = 50 (Dword)
Depending on your auto-rotator, it might have a separate polling interval from the device's. As you can see, I have to set the GSensor's polling interval and changescreen's polling interval to the same amount for it to work quickly.
I didn't have a third party application for it, just the stock driver / app, Sounds like that will be the solution though, I did use Advance config to change the poll to 50, but looking in the registry it was set at 1000.
I've installed Changescreen and set both reg values to 50, it's rotating in roughly one elephant to landscape and back to portrait, much better
thanks for the tip.
ChangeScreen Keeps Rotating back to Portrait
Hey guys:
I have ChangeScreen installed on my HTC Tilt2. Ive set the default on load to landscape as well as set up exceptions to manilla and most of my programs to landscape (as an assurance that the screen will load each app/prog chosen to landscape).
I have set the registry keys listed in this string to 50 and saved the settings.
My problem is this: I have to hold my phone upright , then lay it flat, then pick it up again in order for the rotation to take effect.
Next prob is: after the screen does go into landscape, then i go to , say messaging, all is good until i exit messaging and navigate back to the today screen. It loads back "portrait". I have to do the same steip over : pick phone up; lay it flat; then pick up again for it to go back to landscape, otherwise, it just sits and sits and sits in portrait.
Is there any other tool better than changescreen that truely 'defaults' the screen rotation to landscape where i dont have to manually keep moving the phone all the time just to get to landscape?

Have you tried not having Manila in the exceptions list? Just let it auto-rotate based on your settings in the first tab in the changescreen app.
Or could you post screenshots of your settings so I can look at them and see if there's something conflicting, etc.?
Running a non-rooted G2.
Anyone else notice sluggish screen rotation when going from landscape to portrait or vice versa? It seems like it takes over 1s to switch, closer to 1.5s I would say just trying to count out loud.
The only running apps I have besides the stock ones are Tasker, LauncherPro Plus, Beautiful Widgets (1 large widget on homescreen), BattStat, and SwiftKey.
Any way to adjust the speed at which the screen switches orientation?
Thanks
LP+ does have its moments where it slows down. Original launcher is nicee enough no need to replace it
I've noticed a couple glitches related to this now that I've rooted. It's slow, then it shows the icons and even on screen keyboard in smashed or stretched pixels before it changes orientation. Just for a split second but it's annoying and never did it before.
Yeah, I don't know why the automatic screen rotation is so slow with LauncherPro.
My solution for now was to disable the auto rotate under LauncherPro's Behavior Settings.
The G2 switches instantly to landscape mode for you once you slide out the physical keyboard. No lag this way, but you don't get it to change orientation unless you slide out the keyboard.
I've noticed this too! I thought I was the only one. The funny thing is that when you're in a program that needs the accelerometer there is no lag, but on homescreen there is that slight delay when rotating from portrait to landscape.
I've had this issue with SF, corrected by setting desktop scrolling speed to 0 on ADW launcher setting.
Not sure if this will work on your device.
I borked something... For some reason when my keyboard (any keyboard that uses full screen) goes full screen the font color is changing to white. If it wasn't for the white background this would not be an issue. This happens in landscape, but portrait doesn't go full screen so it works fine.
Does anyone have any idea on how to change the font color in full screen only?
As a work-a-round I have installed a keyboard manager that changes the keyboard based on orientation. I am using SlideIt in landscape and FlexT9 in portrait. Occasionally I use hackers keyboard, but having same issue there. I have a habit of switching keyboards depending on my needs at that time.

What do you mean, ''keyboard that uses full screen''? Can you give an example of which keyboard app, which editor app (does it happen when you post on this forum, for example?), and what do you do to make it ''go full screen''?
(By the way, I am using Hackers' Keyboard. All the keys are there, and you can move the cursor with onscreen keys.)
In landscape using hackers keyboard or flext9, when the keyboard expands the entry field goes from web page/ app/ entry field to the fill screen mode where the keyboard takes up half the screen and the other half is a separate input screen, not the web page view.

Hi.
As keyboard I am using "Hackers Keyboard". 4 Row only.
I'd like to use HK as a full screen keyboard in Landscape mode, meaning in Landscape there should be only the keyboard (big) and a textbox where I am writing currently. I Portrait it should be "normal" keyboard and everything else visible (textbox, background, other text, etc).
How can I achieve that the keyboard is "big with textbox" in Landscape?
Currently it does the same as in Portrait, big keyboard and a little gap between keyboard an the upper screen. On some apps, this is not enough to display a textbox. On others it is enough.
When i rotate the phone it takes like 2s to rotate the screen. Is it possible to make it faster?? Like instant??
Thanks
