Change the Screen Orientation...

[authenticsketch]

Hey im just trying to change my screen to always be in landscape i trying to do it but its not worrking i understand every thing till it say "Change the Value of "Angle" to the FF:" please some one give me more detailed instructions


Set the Screen Orientation thru Registry and works only after soft reset
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\ROTATION]
Change the Value of "Angle" to the FF:
dword:00000000 or dword:00000360 -> Portrait Mode
dword:00000090 -> Landscape(Right-Handed)
dword:00000180 -> Portrait Up-side Down
dword:00000270 -> Landscape (Left-Handed)

Hide/Unhide Screen Orientation Option in Screen Module[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\ROTATION]
"HideOrientationUI" -> set 0 to unhide, 1 to hide

Set Fix Landscape(Right-Handed) Mode and No Landscape(Left-handed) in Screen Settings
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\ROTATION]
"Landscapefixed"-> set 0 if disable, 1 to enable

I thought you could change it in settings/screen

i want to change it for good so if i open and close it it will still be in landscape

There are a few ways:
1. Use an app that will rotate the device to landscape, and install a power on notification to launch that on every power on. That way the device will auto rotate itself properly.
2. Remove the magnetic sensor. Semi permanent and dangerous.
3. There is I think a registry hack to force this, but I could never find it again. Search the board using google [http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=322565] and try to find it. Let me know if you find it!

PS I wrote VJUzumaki to disable the autorotation properly. However, it's not released (yet).

the registry hack is in my first post i need help with the instructions

there's a less permanent, but far simpler, easier and less intrusive method that I use. Under start, settings, buttons, pick a button that you don't use often, and assign it to rotate screen. I rarely use the camera, and when I do it's easy to get there through the menus, but I use rotate maybe half the time I use the phone

Lanscaper App.... you mean, you can freeze your device in Landscape mode and not have it witch to portrait when you open and close the keyboard??

If so could you please post this app?
