[averma]

http://www.hardwarezone.com/img/data/articles/2008/2681/Touch_Pro_09.jpg

Tested on GSM diamond (2.0 rom exactly), but should work for all

Pulled from latest official touchpro rom, and ported to diamond

INSTALLATION:

**YOU MAY GET A WARNING SAYING THIS IS NOT CREATED FOR YOUR DEVICE. JUST CONTINUE WITH INSTALL, WILL NOT AFFECT PACKAGE/PHONE**


1. Install Flip-it, go to Programs->Accessories->Flip_IT and enable G-Sensor
play around with settings if you need to, Recommended settings are:
1 - remove manila from the "Rotation Angles for specific apps"
2 - enable global rotation 0 Degree & 90 Degree (so your phone is still usable lying down)

2. Install UAD-TouchPROLandscapeE, ***Disable TF3D today screen before install ***Settings > Today > Items

3. Install 3.SdkCerts(2)

4. Soft Reset

Please report any bugs/compatibility issues. All files but UAD-Landscape were made by Wild Berry team, please give them proper recognition, this wouldn't be possible without them.

UAD Files were created by me, please report any issues so I can update

CDMA users- may work on your phone please back up before install

I DO NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR HARD RESET/DAMAGE
FILES ARE BETA AND PROVIDED AS IS WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY


As far as i know package must be used with Flip_IT because it emulates hardware keyboard sliding in and out.

This is first beta release so please post detailed descriptions of problems (if any)

I have the D2 sensor intalled so do I still need flip it?

Nothing new here or am I missing something Averma?
Bepe's excellent Gnes.dll (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2467440&postcount=4) and Alphazeros and swtos equally excellent FlipIt front end for it have been around for nearly six months now. I even did a tut for it way back then.
How to Make FlipIt (GNES mod) and LandscapeManila work (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2778242&highlight=flipit#post2778242)

I do think Flip_IT_by_WildBerry_Team.cab (http://rapidshare.com/files/152618372/Flip_IT_by_WildBerry_Team.cab) has been under reported and is one of the most useful rotation utilities around for the diamond. Many of the recent Roms already have landscape manila included and sdkcerts disabled.

So for any users who are after simply wanting Landscape manila I would recommend simply adding FlipIt first. You might find that is all you need to do if you are already running a recent cooked ROM. This has been the case with pretty well all the ROMs I have used in the past few months. If you are using a stock ROM on the other hand you may need to follow the three steps mentioned by averma because the landscape manila will probably be missing.

Now that a fair bit of water has gone under the bridge I wonder if we can persuade the Wildberry guys with Bepes approval to do a tiny bit more work on FlipIt. A better icon maybe and one or two other minor tweaks.

[averma]

you can try installing everything but Flip it and see if it works, if not as far as i know Flip it is different from other Gsensor apps because it doesn't actually landscape the phone, it instead emulates the touchpro's keyboard sliding out (causing the screen to landscape)

remember to post your experience, if it worked, and if any errors anywhere incase i need to update

[uccoffee]

I just tried, CANNOT use without flip it and only with gryator 2.


i just wonder is that a Music tab available for the landscape mode? maybe need to wait for the one from touchpro2 ...


Very good! this is exactly what I want! many thanks!

Ya I'm putting this up for anyone using a stock or cooked rom without Landscape support. I realize this has been around for some time now but it was fairly hard to find.

The main reason I'm doing this as well is the files floating around became so dated, the old files for this are just painfully slow, and most people have to either resort to that or do it themselves, also this doesn't void warranty (as its just a cab files = no Hard SPL required)

This version is built off of the latest official TouchPRO rom I could find. I'm running an older 2.0 I cooked myself because i like the reliability and stability of it But because these are pulled from a 2.03 equivalent touchpro rom I noticed a massive speedbost in scrolling and just overall better performance (not to mention landscape :D).

Basically what i'm saying is this will be useful for people who don't SPL or people who are running a slower version of manila (or whoever wants it)

Also... THEEEEMEESSSS !!! :D lol

Fair enough. The Slide White Theme looks nice by the way. Might try start a dedicated FlipIt thread as well, because like you say - it is hard to find and it probably warrants one given how useful it is.

[uccoffee]

the FLIT_IT is actually different from G-config/Diamond2 Gsensor & Gyrator 2! Only Flip_it work with the touchPRO landscape manila & the landscape incoming call.
Is it because it emulate KEYBOARD OUT as well?

The only problem of FLIP_IT is that I cannot toggle / turn it off temporary ....

[Justin41689]

It works great on the cdma version of the touch diamond. Flip it is required for it to work, i think flip is a great program to use for screen rotation for the touch diamond....

[Kamill]

Is it possible to use this landscape mode instead of the default one in the Rhodium manila vga port?

[theo1998]

When I try to install the UDA file, It installs about halfway, then says insufficient system permissions.

[marcuskwap]

hey great app! really looking forward to themes ;)

Remember to disable touchflo before installing

[htc touch pro sprint kid]

This is really cute and all but I was wondering if this is available for the Sprint HTC Touch Pro and also if it's possible for me to keep my Sprint theme ('cause I really think it's cute with all of the neon colors the Sprint theme has [This theme is cute too but black and white would make my phone look utterly dull]) but still have TouchFlo 3D enabled on my device?

Oh and does anyone know how to activate landscape mode on messages?
It's pretty stupid how the on-screen keyboard is enabled when you pull out the keyboard.

Thanks :)

This should be able to install on any diamond/pro (Justin41689 confirmed working on CDMA)

the theme would probably have to be reinstalled, i think its available here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=489531

as for your landscape keyboard problem you can try the attached PQzII cab. (can't remember where i got it) but it enables a different SIP on portrait and a different SIP on landscape.

you could probably set your regular keyboard for portrait, and a null keyboard for landscape > solving your popup keyboard problem


Also you probably won't need flip it if your using the keyboard to rotate the screen. but it you want autorotate with G-sensor then it is required

[gboulware]

Averma, how can I buy you a beer/coffee/donate whatever??!! You just fixed the annoying problem I have had with my Fuze since upgrading the stock ROM to the new HTC ROM! Landscape icons were white blocks and would freeze like that when you went back to portrait. Did your install, reinstalled themes and BANG! Perfectly working Fuze (although that's a bit of an oxymoron).

Thanks!
