[REQ] use g sensor to enable landscape in HTC Messaging - Touch HD Themes and Apps

I use htc messaging for sms and i would to rotate automaticly in landscape with the g sensor.
the problem is if I use app to autorotate with g sensor (flip it, changescreen, gyrator....), it rotate also the home screen and all the manila because it has the same windows name (Manila).
so is there a solution to rotate only the htc messaging, renaming its windows for example or other solutions?
it would be very useful for me because i like to have the landscape keyboard when writing sms.
thanks

If you go to your Message-Tab and select New Message, the process will have another name. if you add this to changescreen it will allow you to write textmessages in landscape.
but if you choose reply it will be the manila one which will not be rotatet. so everytime you write a message you have to choose it as new message. thats the way i did it. runs like a charm now on my touch hd with htc messaging. still annoying that it wouldnt rotate when you choose reply, but at least i can write in landscape.
i solved it with changescreen. it will show you the appname while you are about to write a new message.
hope it works for you to.

ok thanks, but it's really annoying because i like to see the sms in wich I reply, I want use the threaded mode that allow the htc messaging app.
anyone for another solution?

unfortunately, there's no solution for that at this point.

GSen
i use the application GSen
put this app in your startmenu
everytime you get a sms or mail
click first on gsen at the starmenu
then on you message
now you phone will switch in landscape mode if you want

The only way I have found to type messages in landscape while not affecting manilla ( the dialler rotating is very annoying) is to do a manual rotation when in messaging mode by long pressing the dial button.
To enable this go to Settings ... Personal ... Buttons ... Button 1 , then assign Rotate Screen from drop down list at bottom.
Then when you are replying to text just press and hold dial button and it will go into landscape and keyboard works ok this way , when done just long press to exit landscape.

screen orientation for applications

Hi, Guys
Great job on all the different ROMS.
Is it possible to set the screen orientation for specific applications. ie stay in standard portrait mode, but say I open email or tom tom. I would like the screen to change to landscape automatically and when I exit the program the screen to revert back to portrait mode. If not does any one know of an app that can do this.
cheers
That has to be written into the application.
It used to be an option in Tomtom 5, but it was a feature that was removed for Tomtom 6.
Opera browser will landscape independantly of the OS.
Sadly developers have have starting thinking that as screen rotation is available from Windows, they don't need to add it to their applications.
I'm not aware of any extra application that would monitor other opening applications and switch the display accordingly.
thanks for the quick reply. Guess I will have to manually change before opening.
just find this:
wisbar advance 3

sms in landscape mode

Help me please.... I own a touch HD Can anyone help me regarding the sms in landscape mode so that i can easily use the qwerty board.
Thanks
Try Gyrator 2 and create an event for the SMS / MMS application
This is exactly what I did, I find it very useful more so than I would have thought. But remember you can't use the keypad mode in landscape.
I'm using the FingerKeyboard - Black edition v1.4, so no problem for the landscape support.

SIP virtual keyboard woes

I have a Sprint TP2 stock ROM WM6.1...
This problem started, or rather, was discovered when I tried to disable TF3D SMS in favor of Microsoft threaded SMS.
I saw on this PPC geeks thread, a Manila file which, when put in /Windows, would allow me to tap a new SMS and open Microsoft SMS instead of TF3D.
After doing this and soft-resetting, I discovered that my pop-up keyboard was messed up. (ScreenShotA). I was able to get a full keyboard to pop up by tapping the invisible ^ next to the center keyboard soft key (ScreenShotB), however the keys were very small. I opened it up in landscape (ScreenShotC) but the keyboard was the same size with deadspace on either side. I deleted the recently added 47dd6acd_manila file from /windows and reset, but still have this keyboard. I want to get the original keyboard layout back (ScreenShotD).
How do I do it?
Please Help! Thanks!
lol
my guess is you just incidentally disabled the htc kb. i believe that i the standard wm keyboard, look in your settings
I found a solution on PPCGeeks:
set HKLM\SOFTWARE\Tegic\eT9\Ime\CurrentET9Style to 0.

You run the dialer pad application once! Then open your phone panel and the dialer pad is displayed. Or open phone panel and then run the dialer pad and it was pop up. Press the dialer pad application again and the keypad disappears.
@Rotastrain - When calling voicemail (or any calls) I can't open up the dialerpad to press #s to delete, save, or go on to the next voice mail message. Can ya come up with a fix for that please? Thanks.

The keypad button is hidden behind most wall papers. That's why Rotastrain made the mortscript.
Press the Phone button. Then go to windows start and press the dialpad fix program. Exit out of the Start menu. You should now have the dialpad open. Repeat procedure to close dialpad from the phone.
You could always try and program a softkey to the mortscript dialpad program and see if that works to simplify opening and closing the dialpad.
ok here is a video what says what my problem is right now
the fix doesn`t work

You need to install Mortscript 4.2, then you can click on that link on the Start menu.
ok now it`s working !!
but now i`ve got an other problem, if i push a number onec the sound that it makes, still continues für 10 seconds
any solutions ?
It works great, even when I restart the dailer the dailpad stays!
But is it possible to use dailpad while calling? I can't give response when calling my bank..

Rotate HTC Messaging Client without slidding open keyboard

What is the easiest way for my kids to be able to use the SMS app without openning the keyboard, and by using the onscreen keyboard in landscape, like an iphone, kinda.
We are all on the NRG roms, 21xxx with HTC Messaging Client installed.
I added the "all messages" page into g-config but it does not rotate in any of the SMS chats. My guess is that i have to add every SMS page to g-config?
There has to be an easier way to get any SMS/MMS to open in landscape just by rotating the phone?
I use BSB Tweaks. It allows you to rotate any program and it is very easy to use. You select the rotation feature in BSB, go to the program , then shake the phone. Just search for it here, it's a free app.
or use rhodium keyboard control and assign screen rotation to any key.

Yea exactly, that's what I did. Probably the Push to Talk button, that's the one I use for it. The shake feature does seem kind of cool to rotate it. But at the same time, let's say you're in public and people see you randomly shake your phone... might look a little odd
