Fast change of screen orientation
I have just received my X51v :)

What I am searching for now is a utility that lets me change the screen orientation "on the fly". I have checked various utilities (MortsButtons etc.), but I prefer something smaller, that operates very quickly.

Any suggestions?!

Thanks in advance.

Ps. Great forum!

I never thought to use my Home hardware button for screen rotation or any other program.

I've changed the settings of Home button to change the orientation. Just go to "Configuration > Buttons"
