Hi!

I just got the HTC Touch HD a couple of days ago.

Just wondering how to make the screen rotate on the HTC Touch HD in landscape mode.

Can anyone guide me on how to get the screen to rotate please?

download gyrator 2

also, use the search

Get a registry editor, then: HKLM - System - GDI - Rotation - HideOrientationUI (change from 1 to 0)

And yes.....you the search function.....it´s all been discussed before.......like here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=448142

Hi,

Great information, thank you very much ! I have successfully 'activated' this extra option with the use of Total Commander's built-in Registry Editor (another excellent find on this site ).

It is a great way to get a feel for what programms look like in Landscape Mode, since I haven't (yet) installed any Auto-Rotate programms.

Now I'd like to find a way to make accessing this Setting easier/faster because everytime you go back to a TouchFlo 3D screen the Device changes back to Portrait-mode. Back to browsing the forum; am getting my HD set-up the way I like it...one step at a time...

I understand popular alternatives are Gyrator 2 or Mobile Magic

I myself would like to be able to rotate the screen manually only. After editing the Registry as per the above description this is now possible on my Touch HD.

This however takes a lot of clicks so I hope to find a way to assign this option to either a Start Menu Shortcut or a long-press Hotkey. I think I stumbled across a post regarding this issue in one of my many hours reading through this forum and its Wiki. I didn't pay much attention to it at the time so I'll have to try and find that information again...

So why don´t you do just that? Assign the rotation to the long-press-answer-key. That´s what I´ve done from day one....

I found this little utility, it opens a pop-up window that rotates the screen and gives you the option of which position you want. I have used AEPlus button mapper to assign it to the "volume up" button. It works great, but the only thing is....don't try to rotate the TouchFlo3d windows, it doesn't like that at all. I think that is why the HD doesn't auto-rotate yet, TF3d can't take it. Start the app that you want to use, then activate the "Screen Rotate" utility.

Because I didn't know one COULD do that Hahaha... Thanks so much for pointing this out to me I did it right away and it works great...even with TouchFlo !

Was this option available in Key Assigment right away or only after the registry was altered as described above
