Hello,
Is there a way (program or tool) to rotate the device screen with gestures?

I think any application that would do this would have a hard time telling between normal stylus use and a guesture.

But, its even easier to assign screen rotation to a button.

it is possible. you could install FTouch and assign the rotate.exe (somewhere in the /windows folder i think) to something like left -> right.

wktask has a gesture feature that can be mapped to screen rotate by moving left/down from the top right corner.

You can certainly move one of your basic swipes in Touch Flo - but I have always thought that the way it is set up in HTCAlbum was quite cute. The idea that you draw a "c" on the screen and it rotates the album in that direction (or a backwards c rotating it the other way).

There was some work on more complex gesture regognition a few months back which might be able to be used to identify "rotate if I draw a C" type behaviour:

Yes, I think this will be the best way to rotate the screen. Gestures like left-right, right-left will be useless, because there is many other programs, with them. For example SPB Mobile shell, S2V, etc.

It might be just one gesture symbol that rotates the screen with 90 degrees more every time when it is drawed. Then will be possibility to use more complex symbols like 8 or Z.

try mortbuttons....i think for your purposes you will need to now the path of the rotate app, make a lnk file and ensure that the shortcut works and using VJbrisk you will be have an upward swipe gesture and be able to rotate the screen..to rotate back again im not too sure about..

Hope this helps

Wisbar Advanced Desktop will allow you to do that. The final was just released yesterday. You can map that as a script to an up, down, left, and right finger swipe.
