Second Today - Page 2

RotationService shuts off automatic rotation, if memory serves. I would map manual rotation to a hard key. Thats what I do. You kind of have to, because rotation service still takes a couple seconds to remove current plugins and implement new ones on rotation of the today screen. I can also edit the file to rotate for certain apps as well.

For instance, I have text messages, etc. has free rotation as soon as I launch the app. So does Opera and Iris browser. The auto rotation is just for specified apps.

I must be confused. I thought I saw that you have two different today screens, one in portrait and a completely different one in landscape. Ultimately this is what I'm trying to do. I see you got your beer link added, I'll test it out for you!

Yes, thats exactly what it does.

It provides autorotation for specified apps, and different today screens per orientation.

Try mapping manual rotation to a hard key. I chose my Main Menu key at the top right.

Make sure you are on your today screen and give it a shot.

Thanks a ton for your help, your beer links officially works, enjoy two on me. I think I will pass on this though, I really enjoy the auto rotate feature. When i tire of it will use this.

Just for clarification what is the function of second today?

Second Today runs a second today screen, but as an application. So, when you close down second today, you lose that today screen as well.

Something you might want to try also is called mtoday.

It gives you true Today screen profiles, but I am really unsure how it will work with landscape vs. portrait.

In regards to rotation service--maybe don't dismiss it yet. I am pretty sure it can be setup to allow EVERYTHING to rotate. Let me try something.

Also, thank you for the brew
