Rotation on Zire 72

[firelord901]

I'm using Rotation on my Z72 so i can use it in landscape. Does anyone know if there is a program to define your up and down keys and your left and right keys? If you are in portrait on your 5way nav then that is how they will work in rotation. I'm in portrait right now so when I go to landscape then the up key is the right key. I want to be able to set it so that when in landscape the up key (portrait left key) moves it up and not left. Any ideas

Eh, where did you get this program??

[firelord901]

Here is the link to rotation (http://mobile-stream.com/landscape_info.html) Its the first one in that list.

Thank you!

[firelord901]

Is it the same way for you?

[+Kardboard+]

Yup, and I can't figure out how to re-map either...unless somehow we can get the "Handedness" Prefs panel from a 320x480 palmOne device.

[firelord901]

Think you can get it from your T3 or is it dead?

[+Kardboard+]

Nope, the T3 is my main machine, the Zire 72s is my little bro's.

The Prefs is the same, so the Handedness files and the Rotation Manager and Rotation Extension files are what's needed. However, after copying those over, I can now set the handedness, but Rotation died.

Will keep trying.

what exactly is the point of running rotation on the zire72? - its screen is 320x320 - its the same either way...........

[firelord901]

its easier to type if u hav a keyboard and it makes it look cooler :)

Even though the screen is square, the unit isn't, so like firelord said, sometimes it's easier if the screen was sideways.

It's pretty good for the keyboard now, but yeah, sometimes I just want to watch movies sideways with the buttons aligned properly...heh

Why don't you use TCMCP for movie? it has rotation, 90, 180, 270 and the navigation buttons are aligned properly.

That's only good for watching movies/videos though...

also I couldn't get Rotation1.2.3 trial to work on my Zire.... I tried it like long ago, and I don't remember what it was that didn't let me rotate.

anyways,
peace

Personally I do use TCPMP for movies, but it's my brother's Palm, not mine; I would usually be using my T3 in Landscape mode. :)

For Rotation, just install it, then go to Prefs and scroll all the way to the bottom and tap on Rotation.
