I'd like to always have my Titan in landscape mode, and I'd like it to stay that way even when I open and close the keyboard. My old Apache did the same annoying thing - you can switch to landscape mode in the Settings > System > Screen, but as soon as you open and close the keyboard it switches right back to portrait.
Surely there is SOME way to make the phone stay in landscape, right?
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks!

theres a exe file out there called landscaper that allows the phone to always switch to landscape mode. When you wake the phone up or slide the keyboard the screen will change back to portrait but only briefly (you can set the amount of time in the options menu if you set it to 0 its pretty quick that it goes back to landscape). You will have to either put it in the start up folder or manually start the program each time after a soft reset. I personally just settled on mapping a hard key to rotate the screen and find this easier and quicker. Google Landscaper exe and Im sure you'll find it, if not PM me and I can send it to you. (dont think I can attach it here)
sorry didn't know this one posted!

me 2! man this is great
it goes back to portrait when you open and close the keyboard, plus it doesn't work after a soft reset--reverts back to portrait.

There's apps that let you change the orientation of the screen. Just set one to a hardware button. Sometimes you have to work with what you're given.
thanks. i asked for this before and got some snooty replies, glad not everyone is like that
hey after using the app i dont like it no more i want to just keep it in landscape no changing to portrait then back to landscape that takes to much time please help if this is possible

You get snooty replies because you ask questions a simple search could answer and you do it in inappropriate forums with a statement in the title instead of a question. Simple as that.
Obviously not a perfect solution, but much better than before. Thank you!

Putting it in your start up folder will solve the issue with the soft resets. If you play with the settings within this app you can set it to automatically revert to landscape when you open/close the keyboard, takes about 2 secs to switch and switch back but no invertvention is neccesary on your part once this feature is enabled.

WOW...you can find it at Windows\startup
lanscape mode with no downloads...
well, you guys must be talking about something else, because last time i checked. you dont have to download anything to achieve this..
all you have to do is go to start\settings\system tab\screen and there it is... you can change it to landscape mode for a righty or a lefty!!:

....and once you change it and open and close the keyboard it reverts to portrait. the idea of this thread is to make it start and stay in landscape constantly.
oh, i see what your saying!!

Locking the mogul in landscape
Isnt there a registery hack or something that could accomplish this.. The HTC Tilt already has this function and it is basically the same design.
I am a text addict and my fingers move faster then the phone... It would seem that there should be a way to override the hardware switch on the keyboard.
I am not familiar enough with the registery to finger this out... but if someone out there is familiar with the registery...

I did a few registry searches and changes looking for it and didn't find it. So I figured I'd search. That's why I referred you to this thread.
I will keep watching this thread.. I apprecate the assist...
If anyone comes up with a better solution... Please share it... THanks

Hi, do you have some news about waking up the Legend with the trackball? It is a little bit annoying to wake it up with power button and afterwards unlock the phone sliding your finger down. I am still searching for this feature across the internet.
If you will have some news or find a solution, please post it.
Nobody?

That's what I'm looking for too. Or anything else. Tap the screen and then slide unlock, or get rid of the unlock slide at all and use just power button etc etc. This HTC lock/unlock solution is just the worst one.
Hello,
I'm interrested in that too !
It is annoying to use the power button...
Any news yet ?
Thanks
hi yeah use No lock app
It simply disables the lock screen. Press the unlock/menu button just once and the screen turns on immediately.
I wrote a config file to unlock with menu and home button..
Trackpad button is different from others buttons! Kernel doesn't assign a code to trackpad.. I'm taking a patch from desire's forum and i'm trying to apply it to legend kernel..
instead of power button plus swipe, you can do power button plus menu button
i'm interested in this
Yes it works!
Root is needed and a kernel compiled by myself needed too..
(i add those patch http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=703539 )
No root necessary!
I just randomly came across this... Downloaded a free app called "No Lock" (BoD ) which obviously removes the lock from the screen, but it also enables any button including the track ball, volume keys, menu, search... (you get the point) to turn on the phone screen. Its up to you guys but since there is no hardware button for making calls I dont really see any problem with pocket dialing - just no lock Also, there are programs to solve that such as chompsms which lets you do pattern lock to use it...and there are others to cover all apps too. Hopefully this helps someone.
Sorry - Just saw a few posts down the same thing was posted. I guess I wont completely erase mine tho since I evplain it a bit more if there are noobs reading.
I dont have access to the market right now, can someone kind enough upload the APK for No Lock?
i really really need a way to wake up my legend with a key other than power as it is acting funny.
thanks a lot in advance...
Go here h**p://m.umnet.com/DownloadIt.aspx?__ufps=199075
If it is not working go here:

Have fun...
Sorry for the **, but I can't put direct links as long as I have not 8 posts...

Thank you guys! I really appreciate it
But unfortunately this doesnt work for me... I think on Froyo there is no way around this. as my power button doesnt always work im going to downgrade to 2.1 and then use a custom froyo rom with this ability or maybe just stick with 2.1 for the time being...
a little update on froyo!
it seems that when you are charging your phone and using a program to disable sense keylock you can wake up your device. so I think on froyo they have prevented other keys to have power and be active....

thats interesting and i can confirm thats how my phone is working too...i just prefer using any key to wake up so my power button doesnt die quicker than it would normally
hi, first i want thank damageless for an amazing mod, i'm really diggin it.
second, i have some questions, is there any way to make the phone not end the call when you press the hard key "end button", but rather just to turn the screen off? i finding myself accidentally pressing things with my cheek when i'm on the phone and i would like to be able to turn the screen off while i'm on a call.
also, is there a way to get rid of some apps, like sprint tv and some others without deleting the navigation?
thanks.
check out "Proximity Sensor" by Tom Reay in the Marketplace. Kicks ass -- uses the light sensor to simulate and proximity sensor and "lock" the screen while you're in call. Just found it today -- works great for me!
GREAT find

MOD EDIT - Moved to General discussion as not relevant to development
I'm sure removing the apps is possible because Fresh only comes with NFL. You can add the others as you wish, but they are removed by default.
check the themes section or the search button and all your questions will be answered
search button works wonders on "removing stock apps from htc hero"
I was taking a few pics against a bright background so of course, i couldnt see the subject. It would have been a cool shot if i could have used a flash but the camera's metering only gave me the option of automatic and off. Is there a mod out there that gives me the option to turn the flash on no matter what?
i have 3 flash options, auto, off and on.
I have to agree with shak7i
when taking a picture, top right hand icon i have the X to close the camera and under the X is the symbol for the flash, off, always on and automatic, i just select always on which is the arrow, and arrow with the A is automatic but you probably know this already!!
rather strange you only have 2 options, I know when the battery is below 20% that it is disabled but that just makes the options grey, and does not limit the options,
I just put my phone to a very bright window and i still had 3 options so not sure how to help you now!!( i thought maybe when its a bright shot that maybe you could not select always on but i could!!
hope you get it sorted!!
Really odd, I press the flash buttons and its either auto off or on
Weird - found it
So i guess i just missed it somehow. I just tested it on myself. Note to self: the flash is SUPER bright, not flash it in your eyes....
Flash ON = Photo light?
Resurrecting the thread...
I'm curious about the Flash ON mode. Is there a way to use the "flash" as a photo light? When taking pictures in very low-light conditions, you can't see anything on the screen! Once I take the picture with flash, I suddenly see improper shots (either a subject is missing or I'm unintentionally focusing on something else).
Bottom line is: Does anyone know how to really force the flash on to use it as a photo light?
P.S. I know about using the flash as a torch and going into the camera, but that's a little low-tech and cumbersome, don't you think?
sorry if i might sound like a newb since this is my first post ever here but i think you can "force flash" by having the flashlight app in the background and then opening your camera, hope that helps

How do you do that? My flashlight app always stops the flashlight when in background.

That's true, with the exception of the camera. Just go into the flashlight app, press the hardware Home button, go into the camera, and the flashlight app will turn on again.

Hey, thanks for replying!
I did that exactly and the moment I go to the main menu, the light stops. BTW I'm on a TMO US HD2 with TMo stock ROM.

No problem.
Yes, it does that, but once you enter the camera, it should turn on again.
If the light will not stay on for you, search the forums for "torchbutton"
I know it works, just tested it ....

Thank you for the suggestion, I will definitely check it out
just want to say that our roms have photo light behaving correctly
you press auto - it only goes off when necessary
you press on - the light goes on and stays on (until you change flash mode or exit the camera)
you press off - it goes off
Does it have to do with drivers?

So is it something to do with the camera drivers? Or can that be achieved by registry tweaks?
Something interesting: In my previous ROM, I was able to use the flashlight app and go into the camera, where the flashlight will turn on as a photo light. In the ROM I flashed last night (the one in my sig), I am unable to do that same thing! That's just weird!
Ive been looking for an answer for this too,
Ive tried several different roms & noticed that that the 'flash always on' option has only worked on stock European & roms without 576mb ram, (the last one i tried was kwbr 2.0 wm6.5),
The TmoUS based roms ive used the flash only activates in low light.
Hope some chefs can shed some light on this on... (sorry!)
If you switch to the video camera, there is an always on option ....
indeed it is driver realted, and not something that can be fixed via a cab either, it has to be cooked in.
all our roms (there are a lot) are 576 + tmous + flash properly always on

Hi,
Thats an interesting one...I have no idea (until now I was a WM user), but I would be glad to kwno how to increase the timeout. Shouldn't it be locked to the display timeout? Would make sense in my opinion...

What about setting the LEDs up to show notifications for new messages, new emails, missed calls, etc.?

This is nothing about development... please post in General instead of Development forum, you'll find your answer faster there next time.
oh really? i would say a) editing core android files is development and b) am i really getting advice from a noob?
There's this... Blinker - Button LED Notification
Still early days, but if he's got direct control over those buttons he might be able to change the timeout, and the app answers zyborg's post in any case.
I shall ask him.

I can't find the timeout... I guess its the same timeout like for the Lockscreen 5000ms.
I could only do a workarround, something like everytime when the light turns off... my app turns it on. But thats a little bit dirty ;-)
I imagine that this will not be easy, as there is a development thread over in the SGS forum about Back Light Notifications (BLN).
It can only be achieved through flashing a modified kernel - and as I understand it, the dev tried many different methods to get it to work until deciding on the current method.
