How to make a App use the rotation sensor....

Thanks to Crazyfinger over at XDA, we now know how to make apps like Opera or other things that can show in landscape if you open the keyboard, autorotate, without opening the keyboard.

This calls for a little reg editing..

in HKCU/Software/LGE there is a RotateManager entry.

under HKCU/Software/LGE/RotateManager/Exclusive/App/ there are entries for all the programs like Internet Explorer that auto rotate.

All you need to do is copy the entries for one of those to a new key for each of the programs you want to auto rotate. 

For instance I now have my Opera10 beta 2u browser autorotating.

I created under

HKCU/Software/LGE/RotateManager/Exclusive/App  a key called Opera with the following entries:

Dword: AccelSensor   Value 1
DWord: Priority          Value 20
String: Process          Value Opera10-armv4i.exe
DWord: SlideSensor     Value 1

I think this should work for almost anything that changes orientation when you slide the keyboard.  You do need the process name for each program you want to rotate (the process name for the Opera I am using is Opera10-armv4i.exe).

After the reg edit, you will need to do a soft reset.

cheers

Can I use regedit.mMrln_ARM.cab on 6.5

I wanted to see if there was an on screen keyboard in landscape mode so I used this trick to get tmail to auto rotate. For those that were wondering there is no on screen keyboard in landscape. I guess this makes sense since we have the slide out keyboard, but I was still curious and had to try it.

it doesn't seem to have a soft keyboard in the built in xt9 one, but i have tried fingerkeyboard and the icon is in the middle and they soft keyboard pop up when you click on it. works just fine.

Very interesting. I guess LG figured it wasn't needed since we have the slide out keyboard.

Hey nightbirddesigns,

Messages: tmail.exe
Mobile Shell: MobileShell.exe

If you press the multitask manager button, go to menu on the bottom-right and select task manger, then in the task manager, go to menu->view->processes you can see the processes running.

I believe if you want global rotation.

HKEY/CU/SOFTWARE/LGE/ROTATEMANAGER/EXCLUSIVE/STATE/SLIDEOPEN

AND IN

HKEY/CU/SOFTWARE/LGE/ROTATEMANAGER/EXCLUSIVE/STATE/SLIDECLOSED

Set Accel sensor here to "1"

Under both keys, then absolutely everything rotates.

The key you were in, you can set the delay, mines at 50.
(Updated-Changed to AdjustDelay100,Modechangedelay75-Works smoother for me)

Peace

Editted ato add, Also, amy want to equalize the priority setting between the two keys, open is at 50, closing at 30, mines no 50.

Rotating really dosnt interest me as much as using the accelerometer for games and applications that use it for input other then just orientation.  If anyone knows how to make it actually output to 3rd party applications id love to know how
