Great info! It is nice to have a smoother transition. And yeah, having auto rotate on for everything is perfect for me, but I can easily see it it would just irritate others, LOL. . I think if anyone applies to the per-app settings to programs not already listed here, it would be nice if they include the process names for anyone who'd be interested.

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.

AWESOME!

...And you know what? As soon as I read your post, I started making the tweak. Messages worked but Mobile Shell did not for me. Weird, but I wasn't discouraged. I started digging around and looking at miscellanesous keys, and then I found ...

HKEY_CURRENT_USER>ControlPanel>AccelSensor>DWORD: SensorEnabled - I changed the "0" to "1"
HKEY_CURRENT_USER>ControlPanel>AccelSensor>DWORD: TransMode - I changed the "0" to "1"

Now EVERYTHING auto rotates, but that may not be suitable for everyone. Like it was stated above, there isn't a software keyboard in landscape mode, but that's exactly the behavior I want. For quick text input I have no problem using the slider, I just didn't like being FORCED to slide out the physical keyboard whenever I wanted landscape mode, like when viewing video or surfing, or simply enjoy the landscape interface. If someone else wouldn't mind trying those two keys above to verify that it was actually them and not some fluke that gave me the results, it would be much appreciated. Thanks again for all the info and help!

I had that same issue with MobileShell. What I found odd was that the shell wouldn't rotate, I'd open and then close the camera, and then the shell would rotate. Eventually it would stop rotating though... O_o

guys, about the software keyboard in landscape.. I found something interesting, may be useful to someone.. the XT9 keyboard doesnt work in landscape, HOWEVER if you swap to the standard keyboard(little arrow next to the XT9 button on the bottom of the screen) then when you swap to landscape you CAN pull it up.   Hope someone can use this.

KInda interesting, If in landscape mode, hit Function then backspace.

There is a symbol keyboard with qwerty, though, i haven't gotten any further then that myself.

We need to figure how to access the qwerty part, with out it dissappearing.

Put your phone in portrait, and set it to the normal standard keyboard, not xt9.  Then when the normal keyboard is open in portrait, swap to landscape. The standard keyboard should still be up.

I'd prefer to leave the AccelSensor in
HKEY/CU/SOFTWARE/LGE/ROTATEMANAGER/EXCLUSIVE/STATE/SLIDEOPEN
set to 0 so the screen doesn't auto-rotate when the keyboard is slided out.

I only enable screen rotation when the slide out keyboard is closed so I can tilt the screen to quickly switch from portrait to landscape when reading news/webpages.

Hey Davi, Interesting angle of thinking..

 Setting it like this, stops auto-rotate from taking away landscape when the keyboards slid out, nice,
And still allows full auto with keyboard closed.

Now that you mention it, it is a little more manageable this way.

Good show!

One more thing I found out is, I've set auto rotation globally when the slideout keyboard is closed, but I've also set up app-specific overrides to disable auto rotation. I found that useful when playing experiment 13, as the app can only work in portrait mode (it displays as landscape but the screen orientation has to be portrait). app-specific overrides are configured in the same reg key mentioned earlier, you'll need to create a new key, then the following values:

AccelSensor=0
SlideSensor=0
Process=[name of executable]

only the name of the executable with extension is sufficient, there's no need to specify full path. I think the name of the key doesn't matter either, only to help you identify which key is for which app I guess.

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

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

I set slidesensor to 0 on both of these entries but the slide keyboard still changes the screen to landscape mode and back.

Is there anyway to disable the slide sensor globally?

Would anyone know the answer to my question here? I posted it in the eXpoFlo ROM thread because I thought it may be specific to that ROM (app specific rotation worked fine with the DragonStorm ROM I used previously), but  I got no responses - maybe the only one with the issue. I disabled the global rotation and created the app specific rotation registries, but the apps do not rotate. Any suggestions/pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Hmm, Missed that, though for rotating the different programs, Use tweaker to set them instead of by hand in the registry.

Tweaker App

Try that out and see if using the prgram to set individual programs to rotate works any better for you.

It has a lot of other tweaks as well that are decent.

Thanks, WR. I have used the tweaker app before and never realized it had the rotation feature baked in (sweet). Unfortunately tweaker crashes on me every time I try to go into the selective rotation function. I verified that I am using Net CF 3.5, so I do not know what the problem is. Whatever it is may also be the reason I cannot make individual apps rotate by modifying the registry manually. Any clue? Thanks.

It's crashing? hmm...

So tweaker itself says net 3.5 is installed, as even if you install it, it has to be chosen from, though If your running one of Dark's Roms, you should have it already.

It may not like the rotation settings you have made or something along them lines is my guess, a \hard Reset would identify this if you have back ups made and can restore if not. Though you would need to reload everything anyways if it was the case.

Maybe take a look in the Tweaker thread about crashes too, been a while since i seen anything like that in current posts.

I checked the registry value for the NET CF and it has version 3.5.9198.00 enabled. In Tweaker, neither the "Set .Net 3.7 as default" or "Set .Net 3.5 as default" were checked. I tried checking the box for 3.5, but I got a message saying that "It appears this version of .Net is not installed on this device".

I wonder if it is not registered somehow (it was built in with the eXpoFlo ROM). I will install it using the 3.5 cab file and see if that solves the issue.
