Is there a way to assign a button to rotate the screen. I basically want this for Garmin Mobile XT which does not have landscape display options. I can't have the keyboard slide out with my universal car mount. Any help is very much appreciated.

The "Rodium Keyboard Control" app will let you map the screen rotation to any key you want. It's available in these forums...I believe there's separate GSM and CDMA versions.
or just use g-config

Hi, i'm looking for a lanscape shortcut icon to go on the bottom right corner of the screen like the xda mini's. (this is needed for me)
Do what I did and assign button 9 as Rotate screen.
Button 9 is on the slide out keyboard at the very bottom. On my version it was a useless O2 button which did much the same as the IE button on the front of the phone, I only have to slide the keyboard out a tiny bit to access it. You could also consider re-assigning one of the other application buttons on the front of the phone if you didn't want to open the keyboard at all.
Check out phm tools. I think in the key tools there's a link to rotate left/right

hi, thatnks for the replies. i used the 9 button to for landscape mode
Hello,
I would like to ask you a question, please....
I always set the screen horizontal to use TomTom (far far better for texts and easiest use with the roll). Do you know any way to automatic change the screen orientation when enter/quit TomTom? (macro?), TomTom have this feature?
Thanks in advance,
PS. This PDA is great!
I know of a nice way to set a hardbutton to screen rotation. You can use a program called ae button plus that has great features for adding a lot of functionality to your buttons (for instance opening your wifi by double-tapping one of your hard buttons). I used this to set the ok button so that with a long press it rotates my screen. Check it out at http://ae.inc.ru/index.php
Hope this helped
Use a mort script before launch...

Hi guys
Upgraded from my trusty TYTNII a few days ago and am loving my TP2 - it's awesome!
I have the G Config program installed to allow me to choose which programs I can allow the G-Sensor to rotate.
My question is this though, is it possible to auto rotate the screen the opposite way as well? i.e. turn the device to the right (upside-down if you had the keyboard open)
I use TomTom in my car and the way I have the cradle / power connector set up makes it only really possible if I can rotate the screen left instead of right. Up to now I'd been manually doing this using the SBP Pocket Plus 4 Close Button options and allowing the Rotate Screen Right and Rotate Screen Left manual options.
Any idea's? I've changed the option in Shaps Advanced Config that should allow rotation in both directions but it don't seem to work!
Cheers
Gyrator2 will do that.

Hi Fraser - I've looked at Gyrator 2 and I don't like it to be honest - I'm hoping there's some easy registry tweak that can be made...?
Cheers though
I want the screen to stay portrait locked until I hold the menu button or something of that nature to switch to landscape. Is this even possible?

Probably possible but it would ruin the other functions of the button. I believe the menu button brings up google now if its held. Going into a button mapper would most likely give u that ability, but the code for it to be held and launching a system function instead of an app would be different.
Why not just add the screen rotation to the toggles up top, make it the first toggle so u wouldnt even have to scroll to find it.
In my launcher, nova prime, i set the default to portrait, so that never rotates and i keep the autoscreen rotate off up top. Most apps that need to be in landscape will override the portrait lock and go into landscape. If i need landscape mode, i hit the toggle, do a little shake, and i got landscape.
Easier than going into the build prop files and writing code to over ride button settings.

This is how I control AR as well. If an app can only run in landscape, it will indeed over ride the system setting. If I need landscape, I'll just hit the toggle...its as easy as mapping a button for the function. Actually, its even easier ;-p
Hello friends!
I got my LG G Pad Yesterday
Is there a way to remove the Front Touch Buttons? I couldn't see any options in Settings! Is it possible after rooting?
I plan to use only gestures for the front key button functions... May be we can use the screen real estate more effectively if we get rid of the buttons?
Any thoughts / suggestions?
I just installed an app called GMD Auto Hide from the Play Store. It provides an auto-hide feature for the touch buttons. It seems to work well, except that it overrides the setting on the phone that lets you change the button order. I want to set up the soft touch buttons so that the "back" key is on the right to match my Samsung phone. It appears that the GMD app doesn't have a setting for that. Too bad.
Does anybody know a way to get auto-hide and also customize the button positions?

Thanks for the quick reply.
With GMD auto hide, does the display get extended to the button area or the area just becomes blank?
I am thinking of using GMD gesture launcher to to replace the buttons...

It gets extended. I haven't used it very much yet, but it looks like it does the job, if you don't mind the button order.
Ok, I played with the app some more. When it replaces the soft touch keys, it puts a red line at the bottom. I did get it to put the back button on the right side, but another issue is that it puts a "recent apps" button where the menu button usually goes, then it puts a different menu button on the right edge. I wish it would l wish it had more options to set it up the way I want to.

I tried it, but it didn't work for me. The normal soft touch keys were not hidden.
GMD Gesture is fantastic. It hide autobar (your tab need to be rooted) and replace virtual button by gesture that you can define by yourself. Moreover, the developper is very reactive..

Thanks. GMD does the job quite well. I overlooked the status bar on/off part in GMD?
