Changing Landscape/portrait - any other ways ?

I know that I can:

- go to settings and change it (too tedious)
- assign it to a button (accidentally press and oops, it changed)

Are there other ways ?

I'm thinking of a small program that I can put on the Start menu. Just tap Start, and tap on it to change. Any idea if this can be done ?

Other methods ?

Thanks.

if you have WisbarAdvance there is the ability to have a custom icon on top by the clock thay can perform a custom action, one possibility is landscape.

I have it set there and the hardware record button... and if I accidentally press it, I just press it again.

Or if you have PHMTools you can use the shortcut they provide to rotate the screen

I have to make a vote for SPB Pocket Plus. If you're like me, you use it occasionally but not enough to map it to a hardware button. SPB has a nice little menu (With other functions too) so you can do it when you need to but keep it hidden as well.

That is very neat... but seems very unnecessary!

I just remapped my calendar key because my calendar is on my background.

iLaunch (free) with PHM tools (free) should do the trick.

Can I ask what's the difference between:

- PHM Pocket PC Plus! 0.8
- PHM Pocket PC PowerToys 0.18

I've installed the 2nd one and can't find this feature. Thanks.

1. For Wisbar, I install but I can't figure out how to change the custom button to rotate the screen. Which executable should I use ?

2. For the other, I need to clarify, I'm not looking for a "shortcut" to bring up control->screen but a direct way to tap and it change from landscape to portrait and vice versa. Which of the above would do that ?

Thanks !!
