SOLVED: See below
I have an Carlingkit Tbox Plus. I am looking for a way to rotate specifik apps. (from landscape to portrait).
I have tried a couple of apps from the Google Play store, but without success. They work on my phone, but not on the box.
I wabt to rotate the TIDAL app from landscape to portrait, because there is no navigation panel in landscape mode.
Kind regards
The solution is to use Tidal in split screen. When you do that it uses portrait mode and the apps navigation panel is visible.
You might need to activate split screen in developer mode.

It says tidal isn't supported for split-screen whenever I attempt this, did you encounter the same issue and found a workaround?
any solution?

Although I tend to use my Jasjar mostly in its native landscape mode, Some programs are still written to operate only in portrait mode. So we have to switch between to two orientations. Yes, the little icon on the bottom right of the today screen will rotate the screen - from Landscape to Portrait (PDA) mode, then from Portrait to INVERTED Landscape mode, then another click to get it back the right way up. I know it is just one more click but it tends to irritate me and I am looking for a way to just switch it to and from the two modes I want.
I can map one of the buttons to the standard <Rotate Screen> option in Settings->Buttons, but that rotates only between Portrait and INVERTED Landscape modes! It will not bring the screen back the right way up.
Maybe there is a registry modification to fix that?
Or, can someone please tell me if there is some software or other way to make the screen switching work the way one would expect on the Universal?
I know SPB Pocket Plus can do it with its <Rotate Landscape Left> option but I don't need PocketPlus for anything else so it seems wasteful to have it installed just to rotate the screen.
I expected this to be a rather common problem but searching through this Universal forum, I could not find an answer or even any discussion on this issue. Am I the only one who thnks this way?
Check out phm keys. I posted a link to it on my website today.

Thanks V, but I can't see any link on your Web Page. Never mind, I searched and found the PHM.lu site and downloaded the msi file from there. But I am not sure if it supports WM5? When I run the msi on the desktop it goes through the motions but nothing appears on the Jasjar. Usually it tells me something is being installed and asks whether it is to go to the SD card or main memory. But nothing happens! Tried it twice. Maybe PHM Keys is not supported on WM5?
Hi,
I want to use my HD in Landscape mode in the car, mostly for Navigation purposes, but sometimes also 'just' as a phone. (I need the landscape mode to have full functionality of Navigon MN7). The Problem is that the TF3D supports only portrait mode. Is there a possibility to (automatically) use a different Landscape-Today-Screen when turning the device and get back to TF3D when turning back to portrait? The Toch pro has a kind of Landscape today-Screen, although it's not TF3D... could there be a possibility to use that somehow? or just any other sensible possibility without switching off tf3d or manually using second today or something?
regards jan
really no one any ideas/suggestions? am i the only one who has that "problem"?
Have you tried GSen or Gyrator 2?
From what I understood it will fit your needs. Search for any of them here on forum.
i know about programs like gsen or gyrator, but that's not the point... the point is that the tf3d today/home screen itself is not available in landscape mode.
Another problem seems to be, that there are certain applications, who change the orientation again.
When I set orientation to landscape and start Navigation, it works as expected. Then a call comes in and the phone application turns everything back to portrait ... no way, to go back to landscape anymore. Is there a way to tell the phone app, not to turn the screen back again?
By the way, on the touch diamond the phone app runs in landscape, when this is the actual orientation ...

i believe you just answered your own question.
if you look at the raphael, the landscape mode requires an entirely different set of graphics and frames and layouts. it is not a simple rotate of the portrait view. On HD, that set of graphics, and frames do not exist. I _believe_ even if the GSEN or gyrator will rotate the homescreen to landscape, you would get some pretty ugly results. i haven't tried myself.
Yep it's like an untuned tv on the right. I really like it
Having said that if anyone does port the graphics...
Hi, guys!!!
In Iolite there isn't option to change screen to portrait and landscape screen mode. So, I decided to write a small tool to do it. Hope it useful for someone.

anyone try this??????????????
I didn't, as i don't really see the point...
There is an option in the settings just for that (at least in custom roms).
If you have a stock rom, then it should be useful...

This is neither true, a little registry modify is sufficient, but:
I tried it, it doesn't work, in a first moment it change portrait to landscape but, when you close the app, display come back to portrait it's unhelpful

Some app can't be displayed in landscape mode (for instance manila). If you close this program and then it's manila run, screen mode will become portrait. It's happening with phone, that have option to change screen mode (i checked it).
If you run apps, that can be displayed in landscape mode (windows media player, file explorer...), you can then run this program, change to landscape mode, close program. You'll see that screen mode will remain landscape mode.
ok, but is too work... after registry modify, you can to associate "rotate screen" function to an hardware button, I do it with long press "green horn", thus, I can change portrait to landscape and vice versa in every moment I want...
I have just found out how to enable option to change between landscape and portrait screen mode. I will include it in my next ROM
Best regards!!!
Hi, is landscape keyboard not supported in Word mobile on the HD2? When rotating the device from portrait to landscape, nothing happens.
Hi
I get the same problem. I think we can assume that it doesnt work in landscape mode.
Bugger!!!
By default no the HD2 only has auto rotate in some apps, download gyrator (latest version) and it will make all apps rotate (only annoything thing i can't find a way to stop it from rotating the lock screen)

Is there a way to change the landscape orientation of the kindle (using CM7) for full screen apps? More specifically, I have several games that are played in a landscape orientation, but they do not rotate if you turn the device upside down. The design of my case has a sort of stand, but the way its stands up is the opposite direction than most apps seem to default to. Is there a way to change the default landscape orientation?

I've tried doing the same thing and can not find a way to do it. I did try disabling the 90 degree rotation but the games still play in the default landscape mode.
solved my own problem! check out this app here get your device in the orientation you want, and then lock it. it will keep that orientation when you go into apps. however, its not pretty and the simple ui isn't perfect. I'm thinking this would work better...but it costs money...so we'll see. this works for now though
