So far, the registry hacks and whitelist are beautifully functional. Never like the idea of a TSR style program eating up what little memory we have.
One issue. The Phone app (keypad) goes all wonky when rotated. Both when the phone rings from the lock screen and during if you wish to remove the phone from your ear and change settings.
Any way to DISABLE JUST the phone screen/touchpad rotation while leaving everything else intact?
Thanks,
Rick

BsB G-Config should do the trick.
or changescreen.
also you could change the roation value to 0.
Delete the "Phone/Lock/Compose/Pictures" entry from both
HKCU\Software\HTC\HTCSENSOR\GSensor\ModuleName
and
HKCU\Software\HTC\HTCSENSOR\GSensor\WhiteList

On my PC, Spybot notifies me when applications are attempting to change registry keys and gives me the option to allow or deny, and to make my decision sticky. Is there an app for WinMo that will provide the same type of functionality?
I'm thinking that if I could block out the reg change that's made when my 6800 keyboard is slid open, I can prevent the screen from auto-rotating
Feasible?
I haven't heard of a wm program that does this...seems like it would have to be persistent in memory to catch the changes.
Just curious, are you sure the auto-rotate uses the registry at all?
Yup, it sure does. I specifically kept the GDI/ROTATION key open in Resco Reg Explorer when I slid the keyboard out and in, sure enough the value changes and changes back when they keyboard is moved. So SOMETHING is telling that value to change.. just have to figure out what, or somehow lock that reg key LOL
Hey guys,
I just got my HD and have really no clue how to get the gsen to work so i can write sms and emails in landscape. Also I would like a few other applications to be in landscape too.
Can anyone help me??? It would be greatly appreciated.
Can someone please help me? or give me website that gives instructions? I really need help for this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
gsen should by default enable landscape for almost any app (with some exceptions like tf3d and so on). after installed you should run gsen manually and then notice if the screen rotation is working. then if you like etc you can run gsen cfg and set it to autostart via left soft key.

Is it the best software for the HD to use for auto-rotation? Also how do i install it on the phone? thats my main problem. It seems to have come already pre-installed but cant figure out how to work it....
simply download the cab trasfer to phone and tap on it from the phone

Pre-installed?..... GSen doesn't come pre-installed.
Where did you get it from?
He's probably just talking about the original rotator that excludes most everything, aside from the media/internet based programs.
Works??
Hi again.
I installed the prog right now, started and open the settings. Screw the phone -< works fine. close settings, open programs, tur the phone again -> nothing happens. Like in nearly) every other program. Opening the settings again, nothing happens too.
So i turned the GSEN off an on again sometime, settings work but nothing else.
WHAT'S THE PROBLEM???
Thx for reply
Did you read the readme.txt file that came with gsen?
Works fine on my HD
Here is a part of the file:
1. Description
Auto-rotate screen on SOME devices with g-sensor.
Install GSen and run it.
If you run it again, program will ask you "Unload program?".
If you answer yes - program will be unloaded.
This also possible without question with parameter #unload.
You can use configuration shortcut for edit configuration file.
This file can include this command:
#window(text or class name) - add window description
#timeout(value) - default value 1000 ms
#onlyfor(0|1) - if 0 auto rotate work for all programm except defined by #window, otherwise ONLY for this program.
By default program not rotate screen if Manila or Teeter is foreground application, but you can edit this list.
#fdscreenoff(0|1|2) - if 1, program will switch off screen if you put device with screen on bottom, if 2 device will suspend.
#lockscreen(0|1) - if not present = 1, can prevent, if enabled, rotation with locked device
#poweroff180(0|1) - if not present = 0, determine interpretation of rotation to 180, 0 - rotate screen, 1 - power off.
GSen can indicate self state,
you can setup it with this commands:
#show(0|1) - if 1 GSen will show one pixel (by default) indicator on top bar.
#x(X),
#y(Y) coordinates of this indicator, default X=240,Y=1
#clr(R,G,B) - color, default white (255,255,255)
you also can setup width and height (#width(W), #height(H))
Commandline parameters:
#load - load app, if loaded already - exit without questions
#unload - unload app
#toggle - if loaded will unload, otherwise will load, usable with one shortcut
#about - show about window
if you start without parameters - program will ask "Unload?" if already exist one instance, or simple run if not exist.
NOTE: some programs, like Teeter game, cannot start in landscape mode, so switch to standard display orientation before.
Cheers
Yep
... I did.
First time I installed it I changed someting in the configfile as advised. But it doesn't work so in uninstalled and reinstalled it. Then started the prog.
SOMETIMES the picture turnes but not everytime.
I've got a HTC Touch Diamond :-o Shouldn't be the problem i guess...
Okay...
I just changed timeout to 5 and it works just fine on HTC touch HD
Guess it shoudn't be a problem on Diamond.
What is the Contacts program name?
In the GSen Configuration file, I want to be able to tell the program to leave the Contacts screen alone (to not rotate). The only problem I have is that I don't know the actual program name for Contacts, and where is it located?
Thanks,
Peter
Got it ...
I figured it out. When I entered the following command into the GSen configuration file:
#windows(Contacts)
It didn't work because I didn't first save it. Now that I've entered it again, and then saved the file, it works.
Peter
Is there any way to set it to rotate the Today screen? I'm using the default config and all programs rotate apart from Today.

i dont understand any of this talk.. if you go into the gsen edit screen, are those what will not rotate? eg, i would like to see the settings screen rotate, how do i add that? would it be something like #window(settings.exe)
how disable rotate in htc messaging
I haven't tried, but I should think delete (or exclude) the values
"MessageClient"
and
"MessageEnhancement"
from both
\HKCU\Software\HTC\HTCSENSOR\GSensor\ModuleName
and
\HKCU\Software\HTC\HTCSENSOR\GSensor\WhiteList
in the registry
not sure about the "tmail" and "Composer" values, but just backup the registry keys and experiment..
not work
deleted but not work

Did you restart your device? System-wide registry changes need a restart so Windows re-reads the registry.
yes restarted but not work
work but not work in new massage
did you also try to remove the "tmail" value and/or the "Compose" value..?
what's the use of it anyway? are you typing messages on a rollercoaster? or at sea?
I'm having very slow rotation response in sms messaging client? It take about 8 to 10 seconds for the screen to change if you rotate it. Rotation is fast on all other applications. Also this happens whether there is only one sms or many. I tried to disable the rotation even but even if I remove all the entries for the gsensor rotation it still rotates. I checked the gsensor folder in the registry to make sure there is nothing left in any gsensor folders. Any ideas why it rotates so slow or how to disable it?
here's how I did it:
install Touch tools. in it's rotation manager delete any entry that has anything related to messaging.
now open the registry and search for "rotat" (yes, no "e") you'll get plenty of results, some of them are in subfolders related to messaging. change all values to 0
as I recall, this has disabled rotation for everything but the new message window (I hard reset my phone lately and rotation works fine so I won't try it again) so basically, you can open a contact and choose new text message and it won't rotate, but if you open the messaging app and choose new, it will rotate.
you could always just turn auto rotate off
I've got a problem : when my phone is ringing, the automatic rotation works. So, for example, when I draw the phone out of my pocket to pick-up, it often rotates horizontally and I incidentally press the "hang up" button. I have no idea witch program exactly is causing this, but please tell me how to disable the automatic rotation oh phone ring. I have Gyrator and BSBTweaks installed and I've searched, but I haven't managed to do it.
:? Anyone?
Since you are using Gyrator, you must have set it to rotate all apps. If you don't want your Dialer to rotate automatically, then you must make sure that cprog is included in the exception list.
Rather than use Gyrator, I would suggest you update your registry with the G-Config Whitelist. Just make sure that cprog is not in that list.
You can find the G-Config entries in the link below.
http://www.4shared.com/dir/24155450/7800c381/Rhodium.html
There're s no such thing as an 'exeptions list' in Gyrator, but I don't use it all the time. I suppose the problem is in BSBtweaks - I tried adding "phone" to the rotating apps there and then removing the check-mark, but it didn't work. Then I tried downloading the file you suggested, but even after adding it to the registry the phone would still rotate when someone's calling. I'm starting to feel in a dead end here :/
Check the program (phone / cprog) in BSB Tweaks and then hit the Options softkey below and click on Remove Selected Apps.
Soft Reset and you should be fine. Make sure you that Gyrator does not startup again.
Damn. I did exactly as you told, but it didn't work out. The thing is, even after I remove a program from the "rotation" list in BSBTweaks, it is back there again after soft reset. So I've decided to uninstall the program, then to apply the registry file you mentioned earlier again and then to reset the phone. But even then, when I rotate the phone during a call, the display rotates ;/ I'm starting to wonder if there's something else forcing it to do so, but I'm not in the mood for hard reset ;/
The REG file I linked you to contains most of the programs that people could install that would need rotation INCLUDING the phone.
BSB Tweaks was supposed to help you to remove the phone entry without going into the registry.
Ok, nevermind that.
Uee any registry editor and go to
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\HTCSENSOR\GSensor\WhiteList]
Delete "Phone/Lock/Compose/Pictures"="Dialog"
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\HTCSENSOR\GSensor\ModuleName]
Delete "Phone/Lock/Compose/Pictures"="\\Windows\\cprog.exe"
That should fix it. Make sure that you don't have Gyrator / ChangeScreen / any other rotation program installed.
Is it possible to hide the gsm line icon "1" from the titlebar in WM 6.5 ?
Good question! I hate the "1" in my task bar!
Seems it can't be done...
in registry edit this key, works instantly.
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL]
"ALSService"=dword:00000000
one flaw: gets re-enabled with every phone restart...

a mortscript can solve that
paste a .lnk to this script into /windows/startup
regwritedword("HKLM", "\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL\ALSService", "0")
BTW, what other icons can you dissable like this on the topbar?
Rn
hehe, been at this point 2 years ago... ^^
mortscript won't work this way. the reg-key get's reset with first pin-unlock after reboot, not during boot-process itself (startup-dir). so, unless you can trigger the script with pin-unlock, it would get set to 0 during boot, after pin it get's set to 1 again.
i tried with a startup-link to a reg-file back then, works the same way as mortscript (reg-files associated to sktools, resco would work too). settled with opening that link manually once after unlock.
(enabling flight-mode and then re-enabling phone doesn't bring the line-icon back, it's really just the very first pin-unlock after reboot)
dunno about disabling any other icons in taskbar, but them i want anyway.
In my ROM I remove the icon and edit the registry.

i thought that mortscript had a problems with windows/starup/ - in that case it also has a problem with /windows/start menu/ too.. (i never actually wanted to say anything incase i was wrong, but i noticed this a few weeks ago when using a script to delete .lnks.. )
