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

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?
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...

I have found an application that automatically rotates the HTC touch HD screen. Works 100% perfect.
I'll try this.Thanks in advance!!!!!!
gsen is an old application already tested many times here!
Conclusion is: the best rotate screen was manually rotate with "press and hold call button"!
BTW, you can found gsen latest version here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=403939

In registry, find:
HKLM\System\GDI\Rotation\HideOrientationUI and change the value to 0. No soft reset required. Just go to Settings - Buttons and find the "Rotate Screen"
thanks great tip

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
I know alot of threads has been made but i really cant find anything about this ? Maybe im dumb or whatever, but when i go into global settings, i cant change anything. Whatever i do, the option gets automatically put back to "standard".
Do i have to register to be able to do this ? Is this a glitch ?
PS. i hate my Touch Pro 2 now!
Try pushing the "arrow" Hardware Button right beside your "hang-up" button. That should save your morphgear settings. I had the same problem a while back
It is kind of a glitch, since morphgear was made for Windows Mobile 6.X - the "ok" button wont show up when using WM 6.5.X
I'm afraid that's not the problem I have.
When I tap the new value I want to change to, I don't even get the new value shown. It just pops back into the standard value at once.
Example:
I go into global settings, and wish to change Display - Driver from Auto to GDI. Now when I activate the pulldown, i tap GDI. The pulldown is deactivated and I am suppose to be left with GDI in the value-field, but instead mine says Auto once again.
Any ideas ?

Ah, i see - did you try double tapping your selected option? That did it for me.
If that doesnt work, try opening the dropdown menu (preferably with your keyboard enter button) and use your keyboard arrow keys to select the one you want and press the enter button again to confirm your value.
I hope one of those options works for you.
Arrows and enter enabled me to be able to select my options.
Now only to find out how to make the gameframe show correct on landscape
I am currently experiencing some trouble with the frame being out of my screen. Any ideas on how to make this work on NES games ?
Yes i changed options on screensize, this changes the size of corse but the frame is still off my screen
EDIT:
Actually nevermind... Im not gonna pay for a program i need to costumize myself, when its not even working properly Tnx for your help though!
If you want to fix your Landscape problem, I would really recommend reading through fire_z's post found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=565163
For example a part of it here:
It is interesting to note that using the RawFramebuffer as a Driver gives better speed than GDI,(based on my M900)which works effortlessly in Portrait. But making it work in Landscape mode full screen is a little bit tricky.
To use Rawframebuffer in landscape:
B. Rawframebuffer Landscape: (Full Screen)
1. Repeat step 3 (of the above GDI guide)
2. Do step 4 (above) but change set settings to:
Driver: RawFramebuffer
0rientation: East
uncheck- use virtual pad
Check- Enable Sound
CPU Throttle: High
3. Soft Reset Device
4. When device resumes, slide to reveal keyboard (this will automatically sets screen to landscape).BUT BEFORE running MorphGear, with/while keyboard slided out, change Orientation to Portrait.
5. Run MorphGear. Check if the settings icons are vertically situated in the LEFT side and the MorphGear logo horizontal (if this is the case you're in the right track).
6. Repeat step 7 (above)
7. Now the tricky part, in mapping controls remember that the directions are not what they seem. For example if your using keys W-A-S-Z as UP-LEFT-RIGHT-DOWN (IN GDI landscape mode), WHEN using Rawframebuffer, UP=LEFT,RIGHT=UP, LEFT=DOWN, DOWN=RIGHT.
Yup it's a little bit confusing, but it's the only way to get logical direction controls. If you want to use W-A-S-Z, just set it this way:
UP-A
LEFT-W
RIGHT-Z
DOWN-S
And click ok.
8. Locate and Choose ROM.Tap screen to set Full Screen. Enjoy Game. (Refer to Step 9 above)
9. If you want to play another console rom (like gba,snes,genesis etc.) just repeat steps 6 to 8 on this Rawframebuffer guide.
NOTE: One important thing to remember is NEVER activate the device's LANDSCAPE mode WHILE using the RawFramebuffer or you'll end up a jumbled display. If this happens, just totally exit Morphgear via exit button or via task manager, switch to portrait mode while the keyboard is slided out and run MorphGear.
To sum up things, if you want to have Playable Games in Full Screen Landscape.
1. For TurboGrafx-16,NES,MasterGear,Gameboy GB and GB ROMs,use GDI.
2. For SNES,Gameboy Advance and Genesis ROMs,use RawFrameBuffer(TurboGrafx-16,NES,MasterGear,Gameboy GB and GB ROMs works great in RawFramebuffer too, but as I said, it's a little bit tricky.)
To have more speed.
1. Adjust screen size to Fit Window or Smaller.
2. Disable Image Smoothing.
3. For even more speed, play Games in Portrait Mode ( just set Global Settings/Orientation= North, applicable for both GDI and RawFramebuffer.) But why bother portrait, games are still playable in landscape,and our device have a KEYBOARD remember? (reminds me of the upcoming PSP GO)
Enjoy!

Try going through his settings and your games should be running without any problems. I'm finally able to run nearly any snes game mostly full speed, except for Seiken Densetsu 3 and Super Metroid. (And except for sound, since morphgear is just way too old and our processing power sucks when emulating snes sound)
His instructions might seem a little complicated at first, but his settings work great for me. The only thing you have to consider, is that when opening your keyboard, our screen automatically turns to landscape. I assigned my "long press send button" to rotate my screen back to portrait mode when my keyboard is out. That way im able to use the settings (Orientation east) that fire_z posted.
Which brings me to the point where morphgear is too old... im not going to motivate people looking for "alternate ways" to a piece of software...
...but paying for a piece of software that is old as hell and hasnt been updated in years - i would strongly suggest to spend your money in other great WM software out there. I find it outrages, that spicy pixel still offer there products in such a ripoff of a price. (At least the SNES module is for free)
Too bad nobody is coding any new snes emulators on WM - that would be something i would definitely be paying for.
