I am using the latest Swype Beta on MeanBean and it works great but i am having trouble with it on landscape mode. When i start in vertical mode and rotate to landscape the keyoard fits with the menu shortcut (the 3 dot link) but if i respond to a textfirst in lanscape the 3 dot menu shortcut is covering most of the P key part of the L key and half of the enter key. Its like the keyboard goes full screen and the menu shortcut is covering the right portion of the keyboard. Since I am new to XDA and not most other forums I can not yet post with the Mean Bean thread so can someone help me understand the issue or relay it to Mikey and see if it is possible to get this small tweek fixed?
Thanks!!

Can someone please help me tweak the setting which makes the screen rotate from landscape to portrait when the screen gets slid back over the keyboard.
I have a hardware button mapped to rotate the screen. I often use the unit in landscape and when doing so I occasionally want access to the keyboard. So I slide the screen up, type whatever I want to type, then slide it back. It's very annoying that doing so forces the screen back to portrait.
The behaviour I want is this:
[When in portrait] sliding open causes rotation to landscape.
[When in landscape] sliding open changes nothing.
[When in landscape] sliding closed changes nothing (currently it causes rotation to portrait).
1 & 2 are the default behaviours. Is it possible to keep them and add 3?
POSTED IN THE WRONG FORUM SORRY
it's very annoying, i know. it doesn't only happen with the keyboard application, but also with the camera application. someone has suggested that the software for the Wizard was written by highly trained monkeys. i believe (s)he's right.
As wm6.5 via titanium offers a great UI even for landscape, and as the qwerty/z keys are really small in portrait mode i'm looking for an application that would switch screen orientation to landscape on sliding the keyboard in and to portrait when sliding out (in fact it actually changes to portrait, when i'm sliding the keyboard out, thats why i need something that changes sr to landscape when i slide back in)...
Anyone knows some app?
Maybe you could mix up the screen rotate tool from here:

works perfectly!
Hey, guys! I've just been wondering if any of you other guys have been getting the same odd behavior as me with the latest stock ATT FUZE ROM.
It deals with the phone display switching between portrait and landscape orientation when you flip out the keyboard. For some reason, the Windows taskbar appears every time I flick out the keyboard to type something while using full screen apps such as YouTube. It irritates me because all the other ROMs I've tried don't exhibit this issue. I can make it disappear by tapping the Start menu and exiting it, but having to do that every time I flick the keyboard out and flicking it back in is quite annoying. I was wondering if any of you know how I could disable this behavior.
It appears that any orientation switching without flicking out the keyboard (ex. Opera rotating using the accelerometer) doesn't make the taskbar pop out, but switching between portrait and landscape with the keyboard always triggers the taskbar to pop out in full screen apps. Again, it's easy enough to just tap the Start menu and exit out again to make the taskbar disappear, but I would LOVE to just have it not appear altogether, like all the other builds of WM that I've been using.
Anyone out there that can duplicate the issue I'm having? Furthermorem anyone know how I can remove the behavior?
I have installed MemoryMap for PDa version 5.1.3.
It has opreviously worked well - but not this time.
The Menu bar onlyu shows 50% of the keys. The all importnat GPS Lock button is missing. It appears the Menu Bar is just too big to fit on the screen and the right most 3 buttons slip of the side!
A posisble solution is to allocate the GPS Lock to a button using MemoryMap options. However I cannot find out which button is which.
My prefernce is to see the whole menu bar - any ideas?
Thanks in anticiaption

Stand to be corrected but I don't think it is possible to have all buttons on view in portrait mode, I have set application to auto rotate in BsB thus all buttons show in landscape mode and lock button can be operated.
I also can't assign hardware buttons to custom commands, once again i don't think this is possible in version 5.13.

Thanks for the reply.
I am sure that, using some version of WM5.?, I did have the buttons on view in portrait. However, as you say, using WM6.5.X the device needs to be in landscape to see all the buttons.
Elsewhere on this site the HyperRom Ultra v15 is recommended for MemoryMap - sorry cannot find the link at the moment.
I intend to install HyperRom and see what that is like.

I have MM 5.1.3 build 716 and all the buttons are visible along the bottom in portrait mode - including GPS lock, info toggle half of the 'i' icon.
I'm also on stock 3.14 ROM.
It sounds like you managed to install the QVGA version instead of VGA version - how I have no idea unless you have used a .cab ?
Mine was installed from the MM desktop version - send to PDA option.
It's the HD2 that prevents hardware keys being used in MM, not MM itself - 5.1.3 hardware keys used to work fine on my old Dell Axim.
As you see in the attached pix , I got 2 xt1528, but with diff app drawer layout . One got a search box on top and scoll up/down layout , the other got the typical left/right scroll . What is your default layout though ?
Where is the setting to switch between them ? I did not do anything, they have same build, etc.
PS: Also , one does not vibrate on navigational keys , while the other does
I believe the vertical scroll layout is the result of an update. I started off with the horizontal layout, and after updating everything ended up with the vertical.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Well, both got updated though. I just found out one does not vibrate when you press on the navigational keys ( back/home ). What about yours ?
Vertical scrolling is a part of Google Experience Launcher. If your phone shipped with 5.1 (like mine) it will vertical scroll. If you updated it will not vertical scroll. Vibrate on soft button touch is in settings > sound > other sounds
