Hi folks,
I was wondering if anyone knows how to adjust the behaviour of the shortcut which is set-up by default on the shortcut page of HTC Home on my T-Mobile Vario III.
Basically, when tap the shortcut, it rotates the screen, however it rotates 90 degrees clockwise - as if it were set for 'Landscape (Left Handed)'. I would really like to be able to rotate the other-way, effectively setting 'Landscape (Right Handed)' using this shortcut. Is there any little tweak that can be performed to achieve this?
Thanks and regards,
Rob.
I'm interest on this feature too.
Thanks

Guys, u can try quickmenu2.7 or wktask, small little programs(something like task managers) and they have the function to rotate the screen.

Thanks, I've tried, but if it is possible I would like only to change the function of the existence shortcut because both sw have hundred of function that I don't need and come annoying for me...
If that sw does, that means that could be possible, if not edit the current shortcut, to create another... I hope that someone can help me because I'm not very practised in editing WM...
Thanks
bye
unzip and place anywhere, and create a shortcut in your home, and give a shot, it should be what you are looking for.
Thanks for the prg... but It doesn't work.. I don't know why, but it make an error.... never mind..
I made, with the precious advice of "col Cyber", a mscr file that can be use with MortScript with this code:
Code:
If(Screen("portrait") = True)
Rotate(90)
else
Rotate(0)
EndIf
It works very well!
Bye

Hello guys,
for the last 20' i am searching the forum but i cant find an answer.
Is there a tweak for the diamond to be able to write in landscape? The landscape mode of other phones is sooooo nice, that it is for me a major factor in selecting the phone i am going to purchase. Makes the SMS life so much easier...
Download GSen from the sticky thread at the top of the forum. Then you can just turn the phone sideways to switch any app into landscape mode.
Enable Manual Screen Rotation (Portrait/Landscape): HKLM - System - GDI - Rotation - HideOrientationUI (change from 1 to 0)
After this, you can map the long press key to <Rotate>.....I go into sms, press the answer button for a sec...everything goes into landscape....exiting the program takes me back to portrait on the today screen. My only gripe is that it rotates only clockwise. I would rather it rotate the other way but it works.
Your other option is to try Gsen and use the G Sensor to rotate the screen. I have not tried it yet as I have read that some have experienced bugs.

I must say though that texting using the WM6.1 qwerty keyboard isn't too hard. I dont have fat fingers though.

yup just what i was gonna say, and it works well, i believe you can also manually rotate the screen in the options menu (there is a tweak for this listed in the tweaks thread i think) but i just use GSEN since it lets you rotate any app just by tilting the phone

Ok in my zeal to change the registry..I am not use to this keyboard on board and I change the registry right below this GDI-rotation-hideorientationUI...what was the name and value right below this? I can't believe I did that.

I'm about to ask the same question.
Gsen is a nice application. But I only want landscape when messaging. Is there a better way to activate the rotation when I;m messaging and deactivate when I exit messaging.
remove all other values in the gsen config and keep the one for sms.

If you mean LandscapeFixed, which is what is below it on mine the value should be 1.

Hello bro, your instruction is clear. But for a beginner like me, I do not know what is the .exe file to include in the gsenconfig (file name in WM6 for messaging application)

i have the sprint diamond and i got it to work, i set the long key by going :
start > settings > buttons > now where is says "2. assign a program" you need to scroll all the way up the list to find "<Rotate Screen>"
its like this because the list is in alphabetical order and characters come before letters.
hope this helped!

How come Gsen works with my "Programs" but nothing else.. it wont rotate in texts or nething else.. wtf.
Gsen hasn't been updated in an eternity.
I recommend Brins0net_Gyrator:

Still in very much active development and in a much more usable and configurable state than Gsen.

Sweet thanks for the info
after reading this thread i'm still confused. I have gyrator but that rotates everything. If I want only the messaging to rotate, can someone please post those instructions.
I dunno if I'm only one who has this problem but when I'm occasionally on sun I can't see nothing on my Kaiser and it's really difficult to setup backlight brightness on touchscreen which u can't see.... So I've been looking alot if there is some utility which I can link with button or gesture and I haven't found anything... So I've wrote my own utility. Feel free to use it as well if u find it useful -> http://lobster.ic.cz/?page=bl
is this useful or is there easier way to do that??
Been searching for an app like this for a week.
Works great!
Thanks.
Here's another program that gives you a today plug in for it:

I made a cab with this program mapped to the PTT button. I have a AT&T Tilt, Im not sure if your phone has a PTT button or if its called something else or whatever.
With this, just run the cab then I tap the button and it changed the brightness really quickly, no menu or anything, I love it! If I walk out into the sun I just tap the button 3 times and my screen is bright.
Lobsterii, I love this program thanks a ton!
I'm glad that I could helped u out guys... actually there might be more funny stuff possible only if HTC release some documentation on theirs DLL files cos it's pain to guess arguments...
you did it all by guessing? I figured you would have decompiled the dll.
Truly excellent! I have also been looking for something like this for a long time.
I figured I might as well kick off the feature requests that always follow a new release: How about the option set both battery and power brightness with one command? Perhaps by a special switch, or by only specifying the brightness level (i.e. no 'b' or 'p' switch)? Or is there a way to do it already?
Thanks again for a useful app!

I've read some forum where someone pointed out that backlight function should be in some dll by HTC dunno where it was... Then I was googling "dll find export function" and I've found prog "DLL Export Viewer" which can show function names in dll. Unfortunatelly there is generally impossible to find out how many/what arguments the function has. So I've found function name like HTCUtilSetOnBatteryBrightnessLevel and I've simply try prototype int HTCUtilSetOnBatteryBrightnessLevel(int); but it crashed... so I keep going like int HTCUtilSetOnBatteryBrightnessLevel(int*); and it worked... voila...

done. + it's now compiled as an release version so it actually has 50KB less than old version... enjoy it's at the same place instead original files http://www.lobster.3web.cz/bordel/bl/index.htm...
Nice improvements! how about another a switch so that it will toggle between brightest to dimmest? So if this was used it would just go between 1 or 10 and none in between.
Thanks for implementing the feature I was looking for. A perfect application - it's small and fast, and it gets the job done with excellence.
Thank you. Works perfectly.

hmhm... what I wouldn't do for y... There is new version 02 (on my web at the same place) where u can setup your own sequence. Length of sequence might be from 1 to 10... values are as usual from 0 to 9... But numbers must not repeat (known feature I don't see point to solve it) so u can set something like "bl02.exe 0 5 1 9 3" or whatever else... enjoy
Report any found bugs... I mean it's super simple but it's 4 am so I'm half sleeping...

How to use bl02...
Something from lobsterii that helped me:
create link in Total commander (file manager) I think its in options "File -> >>>>> -> Create shortcut" then I have another file bl02.lnk then I open properties of the lnk file, I click tab shortcut and put the text of path into "" and after it I wrote parameters so it looks like
"\Program files\bl\bl02.exe" 1 3 9
OK dumb question and first time posting so don't slaughter me. If I understand the thread correctly this will put large buttons to adjust from the Backlight screen....correct? Is there a program (other than the PTT button which I'm using) that will allow a button or swipe to adjust the brightness without having to open the brightness display? If you get far enough to open the utility then its not that hard to move the brightness up. Sorry for the dumbness of the question.

my bl02.exe doesn't put any button anywhere... it's just app which actually toggle brightness. U can try to run it via file explorer it should change brightness...

There is plenty of programs to map this app to buttons, finger swipes and some other crazy stuff like voice commands etc.. For example I'm using FTouchFlo (u can use FTouchSl which is easier to configure) and map backlight change for finger swipes... Most easy way is just copy blXX.exe to /Windows/Start Menu/Programs/blxx.exe and then go to Start->Settings->(tab)Personal->Buttons and link it with some buton...
I'm just now at work so have no time for more explanation... but Once I get home I'll create some FAQ at download page cos... cos it'll be easier for all of us
dont sweat it that was a perfect explanation and I now have it helped me to get it running to a button.
One other quick question though....I have S2U2. So the button doesn't work until I have unlocked it (which sometimes is hard to see going out to daylight) is there any way (easy way, Im no programmer)to allow the button to work (that is brighten the display via the button I have it mapped to) while it is still locked?

I'm sure he won't be able to bypass A_C's S2U2, but (assuming you have a Kaiser, you didn't say) if you enable dpad in S2U2 you can always hold your right dpad button to make sure S2U2 is unlocked, even if you can't see the screen, and then hit the button for the "bl02.exe 9" link.
Ha ha...you guys are awesome! Right Dpad enabled and now it works like a charm even in the brightest sun!! Thanks for the great application...makes a big difference in usability.
Some of you experts ought to make a list of these application gems (this program/kaeser tweaks etc) to make it easy for the noobs like me. This is good stuff!!
Hello guys,
This forum is awesome, it is like make a a wish, and it comes true
now I have a question, the battery status has a great feature of showing the CPU load under the clock on the top bar. thru that i can really see if the device busy doing something!
but this is working only when I disable the TF3D. does anyone know how to get that working with the TF3D?
is it also possible to have the other indicator of battery status, they were very useful. The TF3D is taking the whole screen leaving no space for anything else
cheeers!
as far as i know what you want isnt possible... sorry...
until someone comes up with a modification of tf3d that is...
but until then i`m afraid you must look onto alternatives..
for example:
what i did:
installed mortscript, making it able to run scripts..
installed a script wich made it swap between tf3d and today.
bound a hardkey to this script, whenever i hold down this key is promts me the question to change, if i want, i click ok, and it shuts down tf3d and goed to the original todayscreen... holding this key again it does the opposite.. thus starting tf3d...
now ive got the best of both worlds...
i like this solution far more then secondtoday, this way its even frees up ram because the manilla.exe is really shut down..
all plugins like homescreen++ (formely batterystatus) stay active this way... unlike when you just untick the tf3d in "items" wich will leave yoe with a blank today over and over..
thank you for ur answer, that is also takes time to switch between both applications, the niche thing in the battery status, is just one can see system status without pressing anything!
@ Make a search for " FinixNoverBattery.Cab";see here.
It shows you the status of the Battery and your connection.

yes treu,
but it doesnt show any other information that was already shown in tf3d. only a more precise indicator for the batterystatus..
only way i could think of would be seriously changing the tf3f itself to show some stats... maybe a exta tab could be made by someone...

Hey man
Sounds great.
Can you post the script please
I dont really understand why the TF3D is blocking the indicators of the battery status under the clock on the upper taskbar, they are shown on the top of all windows, not only on the today screen. iam here concerned in the CPU load indicator?
Check
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=401907&highlight=secondtoday
That will be do the trick allowing you to INSTANT-change between tf3d and "normal" today.
The first time you open it all today plugins must be loaded so it takes a little more time (like 4 seconds in my diamond... but the time depends on the number of plugins u want to load) ... but after first load the change takes 0 seconds... u can use a mapped hardware button or through your "most viewed" apps (big icons) in the start menu .... or whatever way ....
I'm using it in my diamond and works perfect !
By the way ... the creator of secondtoday is the same as batterystatus

They are not talking about seeing the status of their battery, they're talking about displaying a software called 'batterystatus' on their today screen
TFT3D & Battery Status
The software batterstatus `now renamed to homescreen plus plus.
With secondtoday and homescreen ++ you can show several systemparameter eg. battery,temperature,hd etc. (see my attachments)

Take a look at the SecondToday plugin... If you use the TouchFlo2D settings tool (search the forums) you can make a softkey on the main tab that says something like "Agenda", and link it to secondtoday. Then use an application like G-Alarm and / or TodayAgenda for your today screen plugins. Inside of SecondToday you can set a softkey to "return" to TouchFlo2D by pointing it at SecondToday.exe (this kinda tricks it like the OK button)
This is what I have done, and it's very slick and solved my issues. Hopefully it helps you.
Thank you very much for the help
Hi all
I've had a look around the forums, and i cant seem to find a definitive answer to what im looking for, and im certain ive seen it in a rom somewhere
what im looking for is the following:
A program which allows me to change the orientation of the screen by means of a start menu shortcut (not the one which normally be in the settings -> screen -> orientation, that menu seems to be missing on my rom)
does anyone know of a program (preferably free), that is small, and lightweight that can do this?
many thanks
Search for Gsen or Gyrator in forum.
ive done the searches, ive used gsen/gyrator, those are automatic screen rotators which change the orientation of the screen using the inbuilt accelorometer
i am looking for someting which i can use to manually change the orientation of the screen, a bit like the orientation switcher which was built into the screen settings menu
nobody?
surely someone must know of a program that can do this
ScreenRotator
http://www.pocketkai.net/asp/en/index-en.html
Saerch for the freeware ScreenRotator.net at this site.
QuickMenu has that feature which will replace your Start Menu. you can do that by tapping an menu item then.
Unless I misunderstand, install AEbutton and map one of your buttons to screen orientation.
Hey Stix,
To enable the screen rotation icon from the Settings>Screen menu, edit the registry: "HKLM\System\GDI\Rotation\HideOrientationUI" and change the value to 0. Go to the Screen page and you'll see the Portrait/Landscape option.
After enabling the screen rotation option, you can map the talk button to rotate the screen with a long press. Start>Settings>Buttons; just look for the <Rotate Screen> option from the pull down menu.
You don't have to go to the Start menu, doesn't use resources (I'm guessing) and it's free!
Hope this helps.
TF3D doesn't rotate even when you select the <Rotate Screen> option (unless the keyboard is popped out, obviously). Only applications and the Windows menus will rotate if you manually rotate the screen.
thank you very much my good man!
this is perfect, i use my raphael to read a lot of pdf's and docs, and i recently discovered documents to go which does everything i want except change the orientation!
many thanks asdfjklqwerty!

I do it with AE Button, but if you have SK Tools, these shortcuts will also do it (use the shortcut manager if you want; these probably work with the free version, too):
Code:
Portrait:
1#\Windows\skstart.exe #DMO_P
Landscape:
1#\Windows\skstart.exe #DMO_L
