Default Rotation issue

Hello everyone, my name is Nick and this is my first post in this great forum. I have been using the TD2 for some months now and i think it's a really great phone!
The only problem i've come across so far is that the G-Sensor rotates the screen in some applications i'd rather see horizontal like the phone dialer and the Sim Toolkit service. It's really annoying to see the screen rotating when i am talking on the phone because it messes up the screen too!
I've tried many programs like Gyrator 2 or G config but none of them seem to do what i want. I don't want to disable the G sensor of the phone cause it's really useful when browsing or writing messages.
Any ideas of how to solve this? Thanks in advance!

I use Gyrator and disabled everything i don't wan't to be turned, works perfect!
It looks like you didn't set-up Gyrator properly, read the manual carefuly.

ROM original Dutch WM 6.5 ROM 2.53.404.3 (What else?)

When you look in Gyrator Events you will see this list:
Click image for larger version

Name:	Gyrator_Events.jpg

Make sure that everyting that you don't wan't to rotate is listed above Rotate.
You can add new events (click and hold on a blanck section) and put them higher in the list by click and hold them and chose Promote.
If you don't know wat you should enter in a event for a non-rotating event just look, by editing (click and hold and chose edit) in a excisting Disable(***) event, i did to.

Good luck!

I tried that too but i just keeps rotating when i turn the device.
I created a new event and checked "Orientation", i named it "Disable (Dialer)" and promoted it above "Rotate". Then i edited it like that: Application=Phone, Orientation=Portrait (or landscape, i tried everything on the list), Actions=Rotate Screen (or nothing checked, i tried both) but it still doesn't work. I even tried disabling the HTC dialer and using the WM one but nothing changed. I'm starting to believe it's haunted!
