Screen Rotation Application?

Perry Gonzalez · #1 (**permalink**) 01-25-2010, 06:48 AM

I'm looking for a screen rotation application. Gyrator 2 doesn't work (unless there's an updated version I don't know about). Any ideas?

You sure this is in the right forum? Why would you want the screen on the Intrepid to rotate? Also, Gyrator 2 works for devices with a G Sensor, the Intrepid has no need for one.

I've had windows mobile for several years. I'm finding some of my old games displaying sideways. one game will run, but approx 1/4 of the screen won't show. Thus the screen rotation app.

Have you tried a google search for "windows mobile screen rotate app"? I did that and came up with at least a few potential leads. Not sure if they would work or not, but maybe worth trying.

Of course the issue is that the Intrepid doesn't support a portrait orientation (as others have noted) so your buttons won't map properly. If your games expect the left or right key on the D-pad to map to "up" when the screen is rotated I'm guessing that won't happen without some keyboard driver wizardry.

Thanks haus for your help. Back during my Treo 650/700 days, someone made a third party app called "Rotate" for Palm OS. It surprised a lot of people who thought there was no need for such an app. And it did come in handy. I'll keep looking.

use nyditot it will force the intrepid to rotate, the samsung intrepid's screen rotation is blocked by samsung but nyditot unblocks it

all other rotation apps do not work tho, but once nyditot is installed they will work, the issue resides in samsung blocking screen rotation.

In 90 degree rotation you may have issues with the touch screen not being completely accurate, this may be why samsung disabled it

Search for Mobilemagic. That's what I have running on my Touch Pro II. The only thing I would like to see is somw sort of animation like what the iPhone and the Pre have vs just snapping over to landscape or vise versa.
