Shortcut for rotating screen in Wm5

[youser]

Hi!

I'd like to have a small icon in the lower part of my "today screen" (see picture), which switches between portrait and landscape view. I'm sure this is not a big deal, and there a plenty of apps for this purpose... but I haven't found them yet. :D

Any ideas?

My suggestion, install PHM Tools for rotating, and use PHM tray launcher to stick an icon in the tray.

But there is a hack on the board to use the "proper" rotate screen service. It wasn't a particularly effective hack IIRC, but it was there. Can't remember how to find it now though!

Do you mean this hack?

Sounds good, but doesn't work for me. I'll try again. :)

No, there was another hack specifically for Hermes. But again, IIRC didn't work for all.

u might consider to use ilauncher(sbsh.net) it has such a functionality. it works for my artemis and Universal

i developed that application many months ago because i didn't love HTC Plug of my p3600... the "secret" is ChangeDisplaySettingsEx API

Here's the thread I was thinking of, mysteriously hidden under the search "hermes rotate screen". Who'd of thought it?

Gives the "original" screen rotate icon.

Unfortunately, it's not working on my Charmer (I thought this is an wm-issue and not related to the device).

-> I'm gonna use one of the 3rd party apps. Thanks for the feedback!


// EDIT
The hack *does* work on Charmer. I did a small mistake... big impact. :D :)
