Hey everyone,
Is it possible to change the orientation the touch takes when I click on the rotate button from the home screen. I use the right handed side, and it changes to left handed. Every time i try and change the orientation in the preferences menu, it just reverts back to the original state.

You could re-map one of your buttons.
To do this try Start - Settings - Personal - Buttons
Choose which button you don't mind changing then from the drop down list at the bottom select rotate screen (7th from the top)
Hope this helps

The default orientation-change can be set in...
Start > Settings > |System| > Screen*
(o) Landscape (left-handed)
Then if you open/close the keyboard or use a button mapped to the <rotate screen> option (not an external application*), it should switch between the orientation set there and Portrait mode.
* for external applications, just be sure you downloaded the right one. Some turn by 90 degrees, others by 270 degrees.
External application
Thanks ZeBoxx
I have Vito Button mapper and when i press the hard key assigned to screen rotate,it goes to the right haqnded mode.Any suggestions??
I guess it might be using its own built-in rotation utility, which rotates it the wrong way around? Download one of the screen rotation utilities, I think you need the 270-degrees one
Is there a way to get the screen to rotate without assigning it to a button... ideally I'd like something in the start menu that rotates the screen - if anyone has any ideas if such a program/function exists!

Try this:
[HKLM\System\GDI\Rotation]
"LandScapeFixed"=dword:00000001
"LandScapeMode"=dword:00000004 or 1
Now press that button
"LandScapeMode"=dword:00000004 = Left Handed
"LandScapeMode"=dword:00000001 = Right Handed
Cheers
Thanks
thanks Tweaksradje that fixed my problem now it turns o the left handed mode without a hitch. Also thanks to Zeboxx

Funny how that's exactly what Start > Settings > |System| > Screen, etc. changes.

What exactly does that one do, though?
The few references found have no clear description, and one page even says it supposedly doesn't work in WM5 -_-
Ah, it seems to remove the left-handed/right-handed option in Start > Settings > |System| > Screen, and replaces it with just Portrait and Landscape.
/me sets it back to 0 real quicklike
so will the reg hack [HKLM\System\GDI\Rotation] always keep the screen rotated without using a button?
no.. applications can still change the screen orientation to Landscape/Portrait and back. In addition, the Wizard specifically has a keyboard driver which always puts the orientation into left-handed landscape when slid out, and back to portrait hen slid back in. So you won't be able to always keep it in a single orientation with this hack. A TSR program monitoring the orientation would have to be written which changes it back - or intercepts and nulls all orientation calls.
Landscape mode
Quick question
I have occasionally noticed that when i have picked up my wizard and about to start using it , that the screen is in landscape mode when it should be in portrait mode. (with the default being portrait and the keyboard not slid out)
The wizard then very quickly reverts to portrait mode without me doing anything.
Is this a bug in the software??
Is there anything i can do to fix it so it does not happen again??
Cheers

I would also be interested in that. Haven't found which applet does that in order to make a shortcut.

Are you using the standard case with your wizzard? I read somewhere that the magnets which keep the case closed affect the method of detecting if the keyboard is open. I know that when I was using VJokbutton if I closed the camera app using this program the screen remained in landscape mode irrespective of keyboard in/out status. Default behaviour returns after a soft reset.
Hope this helps.

Hi all,
Ive set a button to rotate the screen, I set it first in either the registry or via Screen in settings to be left handed and all is fine, press the button, portrait, press the button, land scape. But for some reason at random times it will suddenly revert back to right handed mode and I have to set it again in settings.
How can I lock it? I have tried setting it in the registry, I have tried changing it so there is no left or right option just portrait or landscape but it still for no reason will switch to right handed mode and I cant figure it out.
thanks
Seconds after posting this I found out what is changing the rotation back to right handed.
If I start the camera while the main screen is in portrait it then changes the registry to be back to right handed mode. If I start the camera while the main screen is in landscape it keeps my setting when I close the camera.
Any idea how I can lock this or chang the camera to be left handed?
If I want to change the orientation the screen I tap on the orientation button and the screen became landscape but when I extract the keyboard the screen return portrait... so I want that when I replaice the keyboard the screen come back to landscape... is it possible???
ok... no solution...
Why not press the orientation button while the keypad is still out?
because I don't want to tap the orientation everytime...
set a hw button to rotate the screen, works fine with pcmkeyboard

The device was designed to work on portrait.. so it will insist on going portrait.
You may ask vjay555 on this forum to write you a simple program that will force your device to stay on landscape. A very good developer.. he makes simple tools like that. He's a mod here.
File name for Execute Rotate Screen ???
Ussually I use from HTC Home, but I will assign at Left Softkey with program that can rotate the screen. I don't know the file name??? Is It in Windows Directory???
Thanks for sharing
is there any way to change the orientation from portait to landscape on the titan without opening it up? i can't figure out how to do this and i'd really like it for when running tom tom.
any way to accomplish this? thanks.
Start --> Settings --> System --> Screen; there you can find options for Portrait and Landscape. The change will last until the next time you open and close the phone, which will return the orientation to normal

is there a way to make a shortcut to the screen to put it on your start menu?
All you have to do is tap the icon that is the phone with the stylus on your today screen and that will change your screen orientation.

This is assuming you have the HTC Home plugin installed and active on the today screen.

awesome, thanks so much... i only had 3 tabs on my home plugin, but i added the 4th with the home cusomizer and now i'm rocking. thanks guys.
What i have done is taken a button that i dont use for what its original purpose is and changed it to rotate the screen. All you do if you would like a hard button and not an icon on the screen is go to start > settings > buttons, and then choose one. Hope this serves as an alternate idea...

This is exactly what I do with TomTom. I use button 5.
pBar 1.5
Another way--the one I use: Install the freeware pBar 1.5. It will reside unobtrusively, at all times, in the upper-right corner. Among its features: A little icon that, when touched, rotates the screen 90 degrees.
pBar's main drawback is that its tiny, Chicklet-sized icons are not finger-friendly: You must use your fingernail or a stylus.
Hi,
All my applications have a Landscape orientation with hard buttons of my HD2 on the Right.
Is it possible to change this orientation to have Landscape orientation with hard buttons on the right, for all applications?
Or, is it possible to change the orientation for only one application, say TomTom?
by advance, thanks for yours answers.
I think it makes a lot of sense to have hard buttons on the left (I guess you made a mistake in your question). There are at least two reasons:
1. When typing, left thumb covers light sensor, so screen is dimmed.
2. Arrow keys on landscape keyboard are on the right side. Now you have to reach across both them and hard keys, with your right hand. If rotation was 90 degrees, keyboard would be more centered, so all keys would be easier to reach.
I tried searching the registry, but without success. So, I'm looking for the same thing. How to change UI orientation so that phone can be used in right/clockwise landscape orientation?

I agree with this post. I would like to know how to change the screen oritntation clockwise so the sensor is on the upper right corner when you are using it.
