Taken from a sticky thread for Omnia i8000 - about tweaks etc.

Landscape Screen

* To be able to manually rotate the screen in any application: go to registry hk_local machine – system – gdi – rotation; in key HideOrientationUi change 1 to 0. Then open Settings – Personal – Buttons and assign to any button the command “Rotate Screen” (you can see this option after you change the registry and only in winmo setting page) (working well for me, I prefer to be able to choose when I want to view something in landscape mode than relaying on how I rotate my phone…)

* If you want to disable the auto rotate function available for some applications: just go to \windows\startup\ and delete the autorotation.lnk and soft reset

* To enable autorotate in any application, you can check this thread

* To add manually in the registry which application to autorotate:

Go to hklm\Software\Autorotation (I noticed here you can also find the registry to disable autoration: disable = 1)

create a string value named 6 if the previous one was 5 (and so on)

in the value put your application name (the name displayed in the taskbar)

increment the value of the dword Count accordingly.

soft reset.
