Landscape mode

Hi ... does anyone know how to activate landscape mode on a XDA 2s? I went to Settings -- System -- Screen but could not find any controls there.

landscape mode
just press the O2 button on ur keyboard!

Yep it worked! I had to do a hard reset though before I got that button to work. Something must have messed up my registry settings. Thanks a pile!

Does anyone use landscape as default? What do you think the advantages are?
I'm too used to using portrait I guess, but I suppose browsing web pages might be better in landscape...
I think the today screen looks better in portrait, unless there is an app that lets you split things into two verticle columns? Quick start buttons and info down the left and appointments down the right or something?

Screen rotation

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...

What command will rotate manila?

I want to make my screen rotate via manila button.
I`m doing in registry:
HomeLSKPath: "\windows\manila.exe"
HomeLSKText: "Rotate"
HomeLSKArguments: "?????"
What command (argument) will rotate screen ?
Of course i can assign here for example program zenyee rotatescreen, but i wonder if manila can do it itself ?

Assign one of the Hardware Key to Rotate.. For eg.. When you long press the Call button it rotates the current active window.. If you are on Manila, then it rotates it, but Manila is not good in Landscape mode.. You can try it out.
You can change this under settings --> button.

I don't see there is option to rotate screen for the 'Button1 (hold)' only list of program and some virtual keys

You have to enable the rotation with Advanced config(i think you have to enable "show orientation settings" under screen menu) and then you will find the <rotate> option in button settings

Thanks, I found out it need to use the HD Tweak to enable screen rotate first.

[IDEA] Slide to Rotate

[IDEA] Slide to Rotate !
Unfortunately, I don't have enough experience in programming but I have got an idea of a software - SLIDE TO ROTATE -
a slider, just like of the famous software -SLIDE TO SHUTDOWN -, but the slider is in the middle this time
Sliding to the right causes clockwise rotation
Sliding to the left causes anti clockwise rotation
Cute?, right ?

Wat do you mean by rotating?
rotating the screen?
What hardware key would you use to toggle the slide screen?
Great Greet Giblet

there's a program to make it!
WKTask (it only works on wm6.1). it will replace htc task. settings\"action": slide to rotate! than...just slide the top bar left\right or up\down to rotate the screen!

I know about WMTASK, but i meant a software with an actual slider that you can move.

with so many ideas for "slide to..." popping upp, i think the best thing to do would be "Slide to choose action"

do you know SLIDE2SHUTDOWN?
-------------------------------
A shortcut could be put from my 'idea software' on the today screen, clicking on this shortcut will popup a slider to be used as suggested earlier.

I think that he mean not to use any hardware key, just the screen. To rotate just tap anywhere on the screen and rotate (slide) clockwise to rotate the screen. Right?

fltouch allows to associate an action to a gesture, above all sliding over today tab.

Assigning a hot key to rotate screen?

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
