Force Landscape mode?

[pilib]

On the Diamond the screen options under settings do not include the Landscape / Portrait wwitch. Is there any way to force the device to Landscape?

[jaropt]

you can force Landscape / Portrait with "WisBar Advance"

[koen-ronse]

Or with QuickMenu...

yeah, personally I have this switch mapped to win-logo long press in QuickMenu

Found this, posted somewhere odd

After you've done the hack, run the app you want to rotate (eg. Word Mobile), then do Start, Settings, System, Screen to set rotation to landscape. The onscreen keyboard is much larger in landscape! When you click the HOME key it will go back to portrait. Enable Manual Screen Rotation (Portrait/Landscape): HKLM - System - GDI - Rotation - HideOrientationUI (change from 1 to 0) Change is immediate effectively. No reboot is required.

confirmed, this works.

HKLM - System - GDI - Rotation :

LandscapeFixed: set to "0" ( default is "1" )

extends options to:

Portrait
Landscape (right-handed)
Landscape (left-handed)

cool, thanks - this is handy for me being lefty; any chance of disabling the right-handed option forever?

You can do just what you want using Mortscript...
And the script should run automatically everytime you reboot your device....
