Rotate Screen option

---

is there a way to make the rotate screen option rotate to the left instead of the right that way it rotates the same way it would if you were to slide open the keyboard? i see the option in settings/system/screen were you can choose, but that's only a one time thing.

there's a few options...

turn on the screen rotate icon and system tray and you will have an icon on your today screen at all times.

search the forums for system tray or screen rotate icon and you will find ways to do this...

i'm not talking about the icon, what i'm asking is there a way to rotate the screen to the same side as it does when you open up the keyboard, right now it rotates the opposite way.

oh yeah, I had that problem. I have SPB Pocket Plus 4 and the SPB Actions shortcuts. One of the shortcuts is "Rotate Screen Right" which rotates the screen the same direction just like you are pulling out the slider.

If you are using HTC Home and want the launcher button to rotate correctly, then you need something like I mentioned above. I map the launcher button to "rotate screen right", works like a charm.

There may be a free option out there, but I already owned pp4 so this was the easy fix. It's probably just a registry entry and screen refresh being sent to the OS.

I just mapped the `rotate screen` to a hard button and it always rotates the same way as keyboard opening now.

Check out this thread, it worked for me.
