I know GSen will rotate TT7, but not all ROMs are compatible.
Strikes me as odd that TT7 will note natively rotate to landscape in the same way Opera or HTC Album does. Especially given that when in landscape mode the TT7 screen is arguably better layed out than in portrait. Seems no accident and TomTom surely have designed it to lay out nicely in Landscape. Further I read that this build is designed for use on the Diamond which the programmers must know has a GSensor.
To this end what are the chances of this capability actually being in TT7 now but not activated. Slim chance I suppose.
I tried playing with
HKLM\Software\HTC\SmartTouch\Tom Tom Navigator
adding keys such as
"rotate"=dword:00000001
"EnableRotateScreen"=dword:00000001
"EnableLandscape"=dword:00000001
and various others I dreamed up.
No Joy.
Are there any Alternatives to GSen to get the TT7 screen to go landscape?
Is this an oversight by TomTom or intentional?
Try this:
Change your registry to enable screen rotation:
HKLM - System - GDI - Rotation - HideOrientationUI (Change from 1 to 0)
Then, map your button to the rotation tweak:
Settings -> Buttons -> Map with <Rotate Screen>
When you would like to rotate your screen, just hold your Phone button.
I use this for Voda's SatNav, works very well.
Mate you are a bloody legend. Works a treat. Thank you so much for that. Will definitely be filing that little tip away as a keeper for future reference.
Big 10x!
What a simple solution to a very painful issue
tt7 landscape

It works perfectly with tt7 on diamond. Just tuch one icon.
Where exactly (which folder?) you stored the script? Was there a need to make changes, as there is no "storage card" in the Diamond?

Simply great. Add it to the tweaks thread!
The registry method works great for me as well. Yet if you look on the attached thread (suggested by Corona):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...=288167&page=2
There might be a better solution via this script. I was wondering if it works for TT7. I failed to check as I need some installation guide (i do not know what exactly to do with the mortscript to make it work).

I am not sure, but Schab's configuration tools (package) contains tool to rotate screen seqentialy in all 4 directions. i have it on my X7500.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=317070
Edit: Yest there is such a tool in the package.
There's an icon in HTC HomePlug on the X7501 to do this... Is this lacking in the WM5 ROM on the X7500?
not to fear boinger66 I is here.... so i could not fine the program but i did find this:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\ROTATION]
Change the Value of "Angle" to the

dword:00000090 -> Landscape(Right-Handed)
dword:00000180 -> Portrait Up-side Down

Hi Boringer66,
Another program that does this is pBar. This neat little utility is also a task manager, comm manager, launcher, and battery meter. It's free too. Google xda pBar,and you are it right away.
Regards.
Edit: sorry,this may not suit you. It rotate three ways only. Not four.
hmm darn ok thanks ...

i kinda just wanted a quick reg hack like the rotate on the tray app would be awesome
It's found there are several issues when running S2U2 on Diamond. An intermidiate fix is that:
1. Disable DirectDraw will prevent the occasional blank screen;
2. Enable NoBackLightCheck (it's only valid in v1.05 or later; create a DWORD value with name NoBackLightCheck and value 1 under \HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\A_C\S2U2; restart iLock2) will make IdleStart works again.
Known issues:
1. CallerID does not work.
2. Home key cannot be locked.
3. "S2U2 Settings" has error when it's scrolling about half the way.
UPDATE on 29 July:
A new version of S2U2 v1.10 is released at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=412418.
For optimal usage with Diamond, make sure you grab the VGA version & turn on "Don't double check Backlight" at the S2U2 Settings.
thnx A_C for the info, already try to solve it but hope you can come out a diamond version soon....by the way s2v zoom function also not able to use on diamond any solution??
Had the same problem with zooming, did not found the bugs with s2u2 yet but if you say soo... Is there a version for Daimond of s2u2 en s2v coming??
Greetz and thanx for your wonderfull applications!
thank you for yr concern. the only thing that real bother me is my diamond always answering my calls due to the pressure from the belt case. i realy hate that. i miss s2u2 soooooo much. please do something. no need of gifs or fancy clocks. only a slide to unlock and caller id that works with the diamond. please!...
"ExceptionEXE4"="cprog.exe"
"SafeMode"=dword:00700000
for callerID, if you use advanceconfig to disable the phone skin, then it works! But your diamond-style dialpad will disappear.
I just installed S2U2 on my diamond.
When my device is locked, i can access my device when i press the home key. so basically, it is not ''locked''.
any idea how to disable all hardware buttons during locked up?

Not sure where to post this so I created a thread.
Forgive me if this is not correct.
Playing wiht the registry I found the key HLM->System->GDI->Rotation which has a HideOrientationUI attribute. Set it to 0 and the standard screen rotation option will appear in the control panel
great find !!!
thats great news findinf that..is it possible to set soft key to rotate when required ?
thanks again for that !!

It gives you an extra option in Control Panel that lets you select if the display is Landscape or Portrait.

You can use Gyrator or GSen to do that
Yes, this is not automatic it just re-enable the standard screen panel to manually select orientation.

please advise, how, would love to be able to work on documents etc in landscape (auto switch) mode if possible.
Peter.
As apd said for the automatic rotation you can use Gyrator or GSen. Otherwise with this you can start your app and then manually rotate the screen from the control panel.
just tried this and it says "access denied" when i edit the value data and change the 1 to 0
am i missing something?
Steve
used resco regedit ... works!
wow. This is really nice. Thanks! now I don't need the gyrator!
I can find nothing new after manipulating the registry.
Where can i exactly find the option in control panel?
In the Screen menu. If you still can't see the option, try a soft reset.
excellent find. thnx for sharing!
any program to change that or a cab file ??
thanks
Ill try this on the diamond to see if it works.
I wish I could try it with the demo phone @ the store (touch HD) before buying it.
I tried the registry edit on the demo Touch HD at the store.
The problem is that it keeps reverting back to portrait mode after accessing the phone menu.
So it will remain perfectly in landscape mode till I try to enter a phone number.
The phone menu is vertical, then it remains vertical.
Any info?
thanks.

Hey All,
I just got my phone this friday and installed tomtom 7on it.
It works nice & fast for those who want to know... But how can I get it into landscape?
I read on internet that you need to put your phone in landscape modus before starting up tomtom but that doesn't work (rotating doesn't help)
So what I also read is that you can assign a button to force rotation... But well I can't find the settings... Any help?

Use a 3th party gsensor app.
Add TomTom in it, and allow it to go landscape when putting the phone in landscape.
Hmm sorry for being noobish (this is my first windows mobile phone), but where can I find that specific G-Sensor app, I googled but all I can find are some silly G-Sensor games etc...

Does it work in the HD2, or do you have it running on a different model ?
I use Change Screen on my Diamond.
You can set TomTom to ONLY work in landscape mode, so when you start the app, it then rotates to landscape, and will not flip to portrait and back again when you go round a corner a bit fast.

I used that and assigned it to the answer call button (did this by changing the button settings).
I just hold it down for a few secs and it rotates manually, hold down again and it goes back to normal! I prefer this than using the gsensor

Yup. If you're a memory freak like me and doesnt want to install unnecessary cabs running in the background when HTC already has a rotate function, i suggest using what's already there. Holding down for 2sec and voila! landscape. I find all the other rotate programs to be a huge pain (and sometimes dont work at all!) and take up to much RAM. Assigning the <rotate screen> to the call button was the best thing I've ever did.
Leo hardware button
Nice programme, simple, effective. But with al LEO it seems you can not assign hardware buttons to programmes. Or I am I doing something wrong here?
Same here... Found where I can assign the buttons, only no buttons appear so I can't select anything...
The strange thing is that autorotation of tomtom 7.916 worked on the HD out of the box which doesn't work on the HD2. Perhaps the API changed but i hope TomTom / HTC comes with an update to fix this.
Sorry wrong answer. Deleted.
Auto rotation working fine in my Brandnew HTC now.
Found the tips to get it working somewhere else.
Step 1:
Go to the following Registry key:
HKCU\Software\HTC\HTCSENSOR\Gsensor\ModuleName
Add a new STRING Value:
Name: TomTom
Value: \Program Files\navigator\tomtomnavigator.exe (if you have a different language you may need to change Program Files to whatever you have)
Please note that in this case TomTom is installed on the Device, NOT the Storage Card.
Step 2:
Go to the following Registry key:
HKCU\Software\HTC\HTCSENSOR\Gsensor\Whitelist
Add a new STRING Value:
Name: TomTom
Value: MunichWinClass
Now do a Soft Reset, and now when you start TomTom and put your HD2 in Landscape, TomTom will rotate automatically.
Maybe someone can make a cab for this ???
yep i've used that registry fix above and that does get tomtom to auto rotate, better than using a 3rd party app, although if you had bsbtweaks installed you might have been able to get it to auto rotate using that.
Personnaly, I use BsB Tweak to enable landscape on many programs, included TomTom
Hi,
I recently purchased MN7 v7.3.10 from 1800pocketpc.com. It will not run in landscape mode. If I do the bsb tweak for screen rotation it will rotate the program but it cuts the bottom half of the screen off and leaves a big black area to the right of the program screen. Is there any way to fix this to run in landscape mode? A reg edit or change the ini file or something? I looked at the forums but didn't see the answer to my questions. I looked at the thread about the HD1 and navigon but didn't see a definative fix...... any help would be GREATLY appreciated. This is beyond frustrating me. I'm going on a long road trip over easter and would LOVE to have this fixed.
Thanks
bump for some help? I guess no one has this running in landscape on an HD2??
have you tried the HD fix?

Thats what I have in my file and it doesnt work. What I also did was to use B2B to add the start menu to rotated progs then make sure I was in landscape before starting Navigon, then it displays in landscape.
you need to be in landscape BEFORE you start Navigon!
I ran the latest PDA trial for a month and it was quite nice - as I did not want to enable manila rotation I set the win startmenu to rotate (bsb)
went to start -> rotaded to landscape -> started Navigon -> perfect (until someone calls)
start Navigon MN7 - just go to "options - settings - general" last page. turn screen left / right, portrait etc.

Yes, thats what I had in mind as well. And I used it this way with my "old" Samsung Omnia 2 (i8000) with MN7 v7.3.4 (not absolutely sure about the version). Unfortunately this option seems not to be there in my current version of MN7 (7.3.9) that came with my T-Mobile germany rom.
I guess thats either because Navigon removed that option in 7.3.9 (but why should they?) or because it is just not supported on the HD2 (like the navigating to adresses from the adress-book).
Ciao,
