HKCU\Software\HTC\HTCSENSOR\GSensor\ModuleName
String: TF3D Value: \Windows\manila.exe

HKCU\Software\HTC\HTCSENSOR\GSensor\WhiteList
String: TF3D Value: Manila

For Google Maps, add these two:

HKCU\Software\HTC\HTCSENSOR\GSensor\ModuleName
String: Google Maps Value: \Program Files\GoogleMaps\GoogleMaps.exe

HKCU\Software\HTC\HTCSENSOR\GSensor\WhiteList
String: Google Maps Value: GoogleMapsMobile

Restart is needed.

I tend to agree with John, The auto rotate is a pain sometimes, most of the time actually imo. Mine rotates on the tf3d home, mobile shell, which I mostly am using. Opera of course, and my texts and email screens and some others. I wish there was a setting to disable it because it is to sensitive, rotating when I'm barely holding it tilted. On calls at times and I need the phone number pad not to be landscaped. Oh well, Small stuff. I love the phone anyway and am looking forward to a future full of roms and modding.....:)

this may be old news to you but fyi, running Mobile Shell and going into rotate mode and the screen going to landscape will give you a totally different mess than you might think. The layout must be edited seperately for portrait and landscape mode while using mobile shell. I use mobile shell also and hav the auto rotate functioning quite nicely after editing my layouts while in landscape mode also. I am not aware of being able to edit TF3D landscape mode on today screens which definitely makes it a PITA , but it really is not bad running Mobile Shell.
However, if you are using auto rotate in Mobile Shell and it goes to landscape mode on a screen that you have loaded up with widgets and shortcuts , it will look like one huge dysfunctional mess unless you edit the layout for that mode also.

I don't know why there are 2 threads for this but I can tell you for sure that (out of the box) my tp2 auto rotates on the home screen with TF3d. mine like others has recently stopped working. I tracked this to the memory card. I removed the card and it worked again. I've not had time to track it the the exact reason on the mem card, but i was about to just back up the data and wipe it.

Hmmm, I am fairly certain that Sprint's stock rom DOES NOT auto rotate on the Today/Home screen unless there has been a modification on the registry or an auto rotate/screen app has been installed. If yours is rotating , it has been modified or you are using a non stock rom .

wow this is weird... i did the reg edits last nite and tf3d still would not rotate. so i erased the module name and whitelist edits i made to put everything back how it was originally... landscape was already set to true so i never messed with it... well i was walking around walmart earlier grocery shopping and noticed that now tf3d auto rotates... it didnt rotate before or after i added the reg edits, so why does it work now after i erased the edits? this one's really got me scratchin my head lol

Re: Auto Rotate - GSensor

MaxManila and Sensui 2..5 with landscape mode allows you easily configure and enable rotation.

This may be already posted in this thread, but....
