manual rotate button?

[romagnus]

is there a way to place a button on the screan in the menu bar or start dropdown that will let you manually rotate the screan on the diamond?

whats wrong with the hardware button?

Couldn't find the registry tweaks I used to do this and map the Long Send key to rotate when I want...but you can try this:

After reading post #2 remembered

Start>Settings>Buttons Go to bottom and select assign program and scroll to <Rotate Screen>

Now when you hold your send key it manually rotates the screen

yea I did that but for some reason more times than not, when I use the send key it sometimes just goes back to the home screen. Is there a way to put a touch screen button on the screen so I can just tap it?

Any idea why I don't have a <Rotate Scree> option on my Sprint Diamond?

You need to enable it in the registry

HKLM\System\GDI\Rotation\HideOrientationUI - change value to 0

I believe there is an option in advanced config or diamond tweak that enables this as well, can't remember which one. I use them both...

Did you also make the registry change mentioned in post #7 and look in Programs/Tools...you should have a Rotate Screen icon you can use.

I did but I don't see the icon that you speak of. If you have a direction you can point me in I would appreciate it.
