It's the way the newer version of album are coded. You could try to find an old version of Album that did not have that behavior (though they may be all VGA packages since they're OLD). I don't know if any WVGA devices ever had that functionality. I think they were Album 2.x and the new way of doing it (landscape) started with Album 3.x, but I can't really remember.
edit - just saw you're porting it, so the vga packages should be ok. Look for an Raphael or Diamond ROM and dump that. They should have Album 2.x and should stay in portrait.

Thanks for your kind help.
But I find there's a setting for portraite mode in viewing images in the xml file. So I am wandering if there's a way to set it to portraite mode using register or something.

I have searched the forum and found someone encount the same problem, but I cant find a solution.
Do I have to change back to album v2?

Unless you can re-write HTC's code in album.exe, I would think yes. I've attached a version I think works in portrait all of the time. It's VGA and has the facebook/youtube upload in it (I think, been awhile since I used it on a VGA device...).

I used to think there's something in register can change it.
Thanks,I'd like to try it.

that works with 3.0 album. you may try this on yours.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\HTCAlbum]
"best_fit"=dword:00000000

This doesnt work on mine.What's your device and what's your version?

Album_3_0_19123021_0_TopazVGA
this is the package in my kitchen. I cooked for Diamond. Are you sure you set best_fit to "0" not to "1"?
I didnt test it on HD2, because i like the fullscreen view there..

Yes, I add what you give me to the register file of album.
But nothing happend.When viewing photos in fullscreen, the controls appeare in landscape mode.
The setting changes slidshow or fullscreen?

Did you try this?
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\HTCAlbum]
"rotate"=dword:00000001
Change it to zero in the .reg of HTC Album package.
To easy probably.

FANTASTIC!!!! I loved this program. Work 100% on my Touch.
Not working on my Touch...
Anybody know what the reason could be?
Not working on my Prophet...
Greetings
Try installing it on Phone Memory instead of Storage.
Fixed it for me and now it's working.
I absolutely love this app!
thx to JUVS
works on my herald p4350
but one question, when using it, do you guys see a white "Box" in the left corner of the screen (i know that when you touch in that box, you see the options for htc album) is it supposed to be like that?
another thing is that the sliding from picture to picture is just slightly difficult to do?
but thatmight just be my device, or maybe I need to setup the sensablility of the app.
but hey, I love it
thanx again JUVS
Im cooking this into a rom now.

[WMP] WVGA iPhone skin remade in high resolution

Hi everyone, here's my first contribution to this wonderful community
I don't know how many people were in my boat but in my search for a pretty WVGA skin last week I stumbled across this iPhone style one:
http://mylostblog.altervista.org/sk...inal-skins/wmp-skin-005-iphoneipod-touch-wide
However, the WVGA skin seemed to have simply being a badly resized QVGA one so I spent some time and remade all the graphics. Only changes I made were that the shuffle and repeat icons are now grayed out by default and become white when active. Also in landscape the play/pause, previous and next icons no longer sit in their own little box. Everything else is pretty much the same but high res.
For those that don't know, install the skin by placing the "iPhone" folder in your /Program Files/Windows Media Player folder and select the skin from the options. You will have to select the landscape one when in landscape mode.
Credits to MyLostBlog for the initial design.
Update:
MyLostBlog has pointed out that there is an official higher resolution version of this skin here:
http://mylostblog.altervista.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=82
I have uploaded the cab from here as well as the design.
This has an extra mute button and fullscreen button in landscape mode.
Thanks again to MyLostBlog for the beautiful design.
very nice skin! thanks for your work!
Although I'm not an iPhone fan this skin looks great and much more comfortable than the standard one. I will give it a try later on.
Nice skin. Thanks for sharing.

I agree, I'm not a fan of iPhones either but the default WMP skin is horrible. I can't really change to another player though because I use voice commands to play my music

you're not changing players, you're just installing a new skin to make it look different

Haha what? I know that, I am the OP. I'm saying that I agree with WMP being rather old and lacking some useful features, however, I can't use voice commands with other players such as CorePlayer or S2P and hence I'm more or less stuck with WMP - hence the skin.

How do I get the Landscape Skin to show up in the Options window?
Turn the phone on landscape (make sure you have a screen rotating app installed such as FlipIt).
Once in landscape navigate the options and it will display landscape skins.
Ah, I see. Gotta use a screen rotater and get in landscape first, huh? Gotcha. Thanks.
Is anyone having problems of this not working? The skin only applies for a few minutes then once I make sure it's in use in options it just reverts to the original skin. Also my WMP folder is empty .
no registration just choose your resolution and no caps just copy paste contets to windows media player folder http://mobilityupdate.com/iphone-skin-for-windows-mobile-qvga-vga-wvga-wqvga-supported/
This skin has saved my WMP experience... Thanks!
Any chance of someone porting a true "Touch Player" setup to WMP11? I truly miss the swipe from TF, but it just kills the memory to run it all...

it replaces htc album, with the new one from diamond 2. the link is in the windows folder if you didnt have album installed before.
the only difference i noticed was that it is a little more snappier (faster)

Am using the touch it rom. Will this replace the default tflo album?

if dutty ports his newest rom to x1 then we can have landscape manilla ASAP.. but as far as i know dutty is the only one with the files and has his rom protected so ppl cant easily get the files.
I think i don't get it. I've installed it and no new icon in start menu. Then i found HTC_Album.exe in windows folder and started it. That worked but I didn't get the point. How do I change the displayed folder and what is the purpose of the software anyway?
yes. it replaces original album app.
i did not put shortcut in programs folder as most has album installed, and it would be 2 shortcuts or none depending on language in rom then
the shortcut is in win. dir for thoose who want it.
But I can't even zoom a picture. You are required to use the zoom slider on Diamond 2 / Touch Pro 2 which we don't have on X1.
Also, I can't browse through the pictures while in full screen using touch gestures. It's prety useless then?

You decompile the wvga lua and fixed vga lua. Then you just change the thing needed for the fullscreen fix and ignore all of the vga ported values. I did this for 2016 and have attached my EXT for you.

Glad you want to learn . I use luatool by cookiemonster to decompile the lua files and notepad++ to compare/edit them. You can recompile with luatool or m9editor easily.
