Rating or review [HOWTO]: Motorola Q1 Portrait screen rotation w/ nav keys fixed.

I have done it, and here is how you can do it too:

HKEY_Local_Machine/System/GDI/Rotation/Angle
Default is 90. Change it to 0.

!!Use ONLY 90 or 0. Anything else, and your gonna play hell setting it back to normal!!


HKEY_Local_Machine/Software/Motorola/Keypad/0x56
Default is UP. Change this to LEFT.


HKEY_Local_Machine/Software/Motorola/Keypad/0x54
Default is LEFT. Change this to DOWN


HKEY_Local_Machine/Software/Motorola/Keypad/0x53
Default is RIGHT. Change this to UP

HKEY_Local_Machine/Software/Motorola/Keypad/0x47
Default is DOWN. Change this to RIGHT


Reboot your phone, setup a custom-rotated carrierlogo.gif file (Use the Search feature or see the Moto Q Hacks thread) if you want to. Get a Portrait sized Homescreen and you're good to go.

Discuss. I never searched beyond two pages to see if this has already been done because yes it is kind of a captain obvious hack. But still, what do the more experienced Q users this of this? I use it for large SMS/Emails that I feel like reading in portrait mode. And it feels better this way in my opinion.

You are right, typing on the side is a bit of a pane, but I have had it like this for about three days now and have been thinking to myself, "What the fuck was I so hyped up for?"

Useless indeed.
