Before on eclair I would have portrait and if I tilt to the left I would have landscape. Now on the froyo leak if I tilt to the right I get landscape that way to. I don't like this. Is there some kind of setting somewhere? I want the auto rotate for only those two ways. Not both landscape.

Using root explorer go into build.prop and change 270 autorotation (or something like that) from true to false

I think that's on eclair only. I haven't seen any way to change this in FroYo, wish there was.
Or an app to lock it into landscape?

Yeah, cause used to, i could lay down on my right side, hold my phone 270° horizontal and it would still be in portrait, perfect for reading while laying down. Now, i just turn off auto rotate because i cant do that anymore.

Actaully made a tasker profile to toggle auto rotation from the notification bar. Works well.

Look for AutoRotation Control by rpor in the Market.

really? the main thing I hated about this phone was I couldnt rotate it the other way - I would have it plugged in and the cord would be a problem so I would have to sit in a strange way to use it
now I dont have that problem
THANK YOU vampyrex13.
I use my phone namely at night and its terribly awkward to tryand use the capacitive buttons with my right hand when it tilts the other wa.y

That's really neat how that app works.

Is there any way of making the tilt function work both right and left?
are you asking if you can make the keyboard slide the other way?
and just how would that work?? i know xda is great at things but that would be a serious mod.
On the iphone you can used the g-sensor to the left or to the right.
Can It be done on HTC
Only 1 way - but it's to the left, so you can still use it while driving NASCAR.
There are G-sensor programs that you can setup to rotate any application.
The following are 2 that I know of:
Gyrator http://gyrator.brins0.net/
changeScreen http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=465586
One question I have... Why would you want to rotate the screen opposite to the slide out keyboard???
Oh one note: Touch Sense 2.5/2.6 does not rotate properly unless you are on the music and photo tabs. Any other Manila/Touch Sense version will work with rotation on all tabs.
he doesnt want the keyboard to slide out the other way you silly nublets. he wants the same thing i want, the rhodium version of sensorssdk4 to rotate the screen with the gsenor in all orientations. rather than just portrait and 90º clockwise.

Perhaps, but he didn't ask the question very well.

I gave the answer already! The 2 programs I posted links to will rotate the screen any way you want. The original post was poorly worded but I knew what they were getting at!
P.S. I hate to say this but "Mr. Jack of Clubs" you fall into my #2 pet peeve...
I'm left handed and when I want to turn it landscape I turn the phone to the right but it doesnt rotate to the right It does rotates to the left..
Is something wrong with my phone or does this happen to everyone else
Think it only works one way. I'm left handed too and haven't noticed any particular need to turn it to the right.. I'm used to phones behaving that way I guess.
If you're lounging in a chair holding the phone at an angle you'll be glad that it doesn't suddenly rotate on you when you least expect it..
Yeah, i'm a southpaw. I would love if it rotated to the right and left.
anyone know if Open Home or any of the other home replacement apps supports rotate in all directions?
The Android OS doesn't support a rotate to the right, no home screen can change this.
Individual apps can support it (see bebbled) if they program for it, but it's a hack.

Motorola has it enabled by default on the CLIQ, not sure about droid.
It's very possible and should be part of the core.
Was playing with my friend's iPhone last night - it does it.
I too am a southpaw, would be nice. But I don't find it annoying or anything.
I remember KingKlick put a screenshot of Sense in landscape for the G1 in a early leak of Hero 2.1. Is there anyway to force landscape with us? If anything just so we know that it's possible...
I use SMS popup and when it displays a new text if I tilt it sideways it displays sense in the background sideways, with the correct ration for the phone/app bar and everything. But when I hit anything on smspopup it goes away and into my messages or lock screen.

Eventually we will be able to put the home screen into landscape but it will have to be coded into a rom that can only be loaded when root access is granted on the phone. So in other words not yet. Will it happen? Yes. When? soon.
the eris launcher here does support landscape, as all the g1 ports support it.
it's just a matter of taping a keyboard onto your eris
Basically, I wanted to know if it was possible to switch between swype and multitouch simply by rotating my DX. So, I would have swype for portrait, then rotate to multitouch in landscape. Many thanks.

it basically is multitouch with the addition of swype, you dont have to use the swype method...
Im lost...
Doesn't quite match up to the default multitouch... I get far more typos with the landscape swype than multitouch. Also, swype is faster and more accurate in portrait, but different occasions call for different methods.

You might wanna look at Tasker. I've never used it, but it seems like it would be able to do such a thing.
I have your solution!
Go to the app store and get SlideIT keyboard. It is swype capable, and has a decent lanscape keyboard AND you can turn swipe on or of on the fly. I will admit that the landscape keyboard is not as smooth as the multitouch but it is way better than swipe. This is what I use daily.
The Tasker devs were emailed and said they currently cannot do this.
I would love this feature also.. combining Swype with Swiftkey
This really bugs me, why the hell does HTC Sense work fine in landscape with the keyboard open, but the second you close it it goes to portait, and you can't change it back?
What's the actual reason for this, is it just a bug?
I wouldn't count it as a bug, it's just how Sense was designed - the thinking is that if your keyboard is closed, you'd want to hold your phone in portrait mode (except for specific apps). I believe there are a few tweaks that you can do to keep accelerometer-based rotation on *everywhere* (as opposed to the current slide-status-based rotation).
It's not a bug but I agree that it'd be nice to be able to have Sense in landscape mode with keyboard closed.
I'm not into development stuff at all but would it be difficult to develop a small app that would either cheat by sending the information "keyboard is open" when the phone is turned in landscape position or by adding a 2nd condition for displaying the landscape mode (if accelerometer turned 90deg then display landscape mode)?

I think it can be made, but remember: if the device "thinks" the keyboard is opened, the softkeyboard is disabled. Then it should be configured to work only in the Sense laucher.

Yep you're right. I hadn't thought about that
In landscape mode if I refer to my personal use I'm more inclined to use the physical keyboard than the soft keyboard so I would anyway open the physical keyboard if I need to type something. But I don't know if other people have the same habit.
Mee too, If in landscape I always use the physical keyboard. The soft one uses a half of screen
