Ok everyone, ever wanted to rotate your screen without registry hacks, or constantly having to update every single app you want to rotate/landscape after flash with G-Config?

Well here is a cool little app called Rotate Screen, I don't know who made it or where it came from. I ripped the files from a custom rom build on an HD2, (NRG28's 23xxx series rom Tmob HD2). After that I tested them on my Touch Pro 2. As you can see the app icon is on the right top corner "rotate screen" of the pic, sorry for the bad quality it was taken with an HD2(5mp) of my TP2. But as you can see it works.

Take the 1st zip folder(windows Folder) with 2 files and (after you unzip them) install them to the root folder in the Windows directory(Device>Windows> (copy files to Window directory, and paste both files without a folder))

Then take the file in the second zip folder (start menu) and place it in the Device>Windows>Start Menu>Programs Folder.
Just copy and paste them there and you will be good to go after a SOFT RESET.

After a soft reset you should see the app icon in your start menu folder like in the pic posted. Simply touch once to auto landscape device and other apps, and when your done hit the Microsoft button to go back and tap the app to rotate back.

Simple as that, I love this app! It helps allot when you like to use your cars GPS/telenav app for navigation with your phone on a windshield mount. Besides this I could be listening to music and or have another app or two running(watching movies). Easy transitions from app to app while driving are a must, and I love that all apps are on landscape while on the windshield mount. Also great for people who just prefer a landscape view. Enjoy!

Maybe someone can cab this up for everyone as well.
