Shortcut to Screen Rotate?

[levelbest]

Hey All:

I'd like to create a shortcut to the Screen Rotate function for when I want to use my GPS software in Landscape mode.

You know - something shorter than doing a START > SETTINGS > SYSTEM > SCREEN.

Thoughts? Can't seem to find what controls it.

I know there is a rotation shortcut in the HTC Homeplug today screen addin - but I don't want to use that otherwise and just want to pop a shortcut into iLauncher.

You can go to button settings and assign a hard button to the rotate screen function.

Of course this assumes you are willing to give up a hard button... not sure if you are from reading your post.

Have you looked at Resco Explorer? I know Resco Explorer allows you to create start menu shortcuts. Maybe you can just create a shortcut of the Rotate screen exe.

You can try AE Button Plus. It allows you to map virtually any program or function to a hard button. And you can map several things to one button because you can map to single, double, triple, and long press. I have it set to double pressing the left soft key will switch to landscape mode.

:confused: Any chance anyone knows the file for rotating the screen? Funny enough it's not named rotatescreen.exe.

For now, I used iLauncher which has a rotate screen function and assigned it to an icon on my desktop.... but it seems crazy to me no one knows where to find the file or command that does this :)

Ok, I'll have to give iLauncher a look. It's funny because there is a screen rotate function in the HTC Home plugin I'm using, but it rotates the screen the opposite direction that I want on my Mogul. I'll have to keep looking.

I have been looking to do the same thing for some time now. i found that it's a registry value so my thinking is that it must be possible to create a script or app that can change this value but i have yet to find one.

the reg key and values are:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\ROTATION]

Change the Value of "Angle" to the
dword:00000000 or dword:00000360 -> Portrait Mode
dword:00000090 -> Landscape(Right-Handed)
dword:00000180 -> Portrait Up-side Down
dword:00000270 -> Landscape (Left-Handed)

hopefully someone can come up with something from this. I'm using a touch btw but i think the reg values should be universal.

for anyone who was looking for my screenrotate mortscript sorry for the delay in posting it. it will be posted tonight. i have been very busy/tired of late but tonight is the night. anyone who does not have mortscript can get it here MortScript (http://www.sto-helit.de/index.php?module=page&entry=ms_overview&action=view)

[Grondinm]

here it is. i assumed that mortscript would be installed in \program files
place the script file anywhere on your device. See Previous post for link to get mortscript.

Try this small program, just execute in device then it will rotate. no installation required.
