Device AUTO ROTATE (all screens) TP2 6.5 M2.5

Can someone create a cab to run on M2.5 that will make the device autorotate on ALL screens and in all programs, no exceptions. I essentially want my Touch Pro 2 to work as if it didn't have the keyboard and auto-rotate (and when I want to I can slide out the keyboard).

Is there a way someone can do this for 2.5 (I had Max Manila before, but the new 2/4 Energy 2011 builds can't support it), and honestly if I can get the auto-rotation, I might stay away from MAX cause this new build is running like a champ.

Have you tried gyrator?

Worked with a 6.5 build on my diamond.
You can set it to autorotate in all apps.

Seems cool, I'll play with it!

Is there a way to get a help file on it?


Also, is there a way to get it off the active programs list so it always runs in the background?

I used to use gyrator. Prefer the bsb gconfig now. it is similar, but doesn't run in the background. it changes the autorotate settings.

Re: Device AUTO ROTATE (all screens) TP2 6.5 M2.5

What is gconfig and how does it work? I really would like to open my phone up to auto rotate on all apps. Seems that Sprint removed some really nice features from their version of the phone. I'm not a developer, just someone who wants my phone to do the things that it is actually capable of doing.

I also read that some of these phones actually have the dual camera for front-facing photo's and video conferencing. I guess that was not added either. Does anyone know if the Sprint HTC Touch Pro 2 Rom has this feature hidden or did they just not put it on this phone's ROM?

Thanks,

Do you have a camera lens on the front of your TP2? How would a ROM enable or disable that?

None of the US phones have the front Camera that I know of, I believe only the one's outside the US do.

I know. I was trying to point out to BeauGManIII that the lack of a hardware feature could not possibly be related to a "hidden" or missing ROM setting.
