Screen Rotation for Dummies (SRS)

Hi,
This is seems to be the last version of our magic tool - Screen Rotation Service (or SRS). It includes Second Edition's Today Theme (menu & today scrollers support in landscape) and feature to automatically resize your today screen for Landscape Theme!
(Download it here: setup.armv4.exe)
During installation you will need to answer "Yes" to this message:
Code:
The file"\Windows\ace_ddi.dll" is hidden, read-only, or a system file. Would you like to replace the existing file?
After installation you need to go to: [Start menu] - [Settings] - [Today] and select "WMSE" theme from the list
And one more, minimize (X) your programs before switching
Thanx to abc and everyone here!

Re: SRS HE = Halloween Edition
Feel free to post your feedback/questions on this version of SRS to this thread
More recommendations that i remember about SRS:
1) Do not soft-reset your device when in landscape-mode
2) Minimize (X) your programs when switching between different modes
To install SRS-HE:
1] Download SRS-HE to your PC
2] Run it to get "setup.armv4.cab"
3] Copy this file to your PDA
4] Tap on it to install SRS-HE
5] Soft-reset your device
6] Go to [Start Menu] -> [Settings] -> [Today]
7] Select "Wmse" Theme from the list
8] Use [Start Menu]->[Settings]->[SRS] to switch the modes

Another thread about SRS? Which is the main one?
So does this version still demand ROM 1.72?

No it is installable on any Himalaya device with any combinations of ROM, radio and ExtROMs
If it doesn't run at your specific system, you can always uninstall it without any damage. It really worth to try!

Yeah, I have ROM 1.60 (latest O2 UK rom) and it didn't work very well at all. Half the OS had problems, including the camera (even v2.5), the Today screen and many of the Control Panel applets.
I've seen reports on this site of people having fewer problems with ROM 1.66, but I don't think anybody has claimed that they've got it working with ROM 1.60 without problems.
Still, I'm hoping O2 UK are going to release 1.72 tomorrow!

Where did you get such ROM version? And why you are not moving to 1.72? It doesn't really matter who the supplier of the ExtRom is (imate, qtec, tmob...) it is a matter of OS rom content. So, just update your device and receive a set of 1.72 advantages (faster BT binding, greater performance, no good CT and so on)

No updates so far...

Everything seems to work fine...
But now it's very important to have phone app, calc app, WMP and cam app setted to run in landscape mode.

I got the update from my service provider: O2 in the UK. It's the latest version available, at the moment. I don't need all the hassle of messing about with ROMs from other countries and providers. I'll wait until the next ROM is released by O2 for me. (Tomorrow.)

Well I guess the skins are not all we need to have them work in landscape mode. What we need are dll files who "teach" to app what skin to chose... :roll:

Does the camera work the same on pda2k? They have 2.5, do they?

To clarify: As I said in http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=63690#63690 ,the Dll's modded files are not complete,THEY ARE NOT WORKING,we need to manage theme more.. more dll's,more registry keys..
So I posted it there hoping in someone help.

Is it possible to port Control Panel from SE?
Thanx

Sure it can..
But I am not that smart to port it..
This work is need to someone like ABC.. 8)

I have a sugestion for all of ya, I have SRS instaled on my mda II, and I like it, but don't ever set an alarm in landscape mode, my MDA was playing the stupid melody for quite a long before it stoped.
The reason is that there were no snoose an dismiss button.
Even a soft-reset won't help.
Maybe the action button, but mine stoped by itself.

Orange Today Plugin

Hi guys,
I was trying different ROM's on my Universal today, to see what the different operators were offering. When I came across the Orange Today Plugin. I like the idea of it, but not the setup.
So, I was wondering if anyone here knew how to add, remove, or change the items in this plugin ?
I did a little search of the forum for an answer to this question, but it seems i'm looking to do the opposite to what everyone else is doing.

re
could u be more specific...

In this screen dump, you can see the plugin.
I'd like to be able to change the selections and the links in each selection.
For example, change the five links in the Web selection of the screen dump to five of my own URL's.
Or better still, add or replace one of the selections in the plugin with one that points to My Device. That when highlighted would have links to 'My Docs' 'SD Card' 'Program Files' etc.
I hope that makes sence.

I'm searching the same solution.

I'm searching the same solution.

Hi filippodisvevia,
I fonud how to change the URL's, but not the sections.
Look in your Windows folder for a file called Full_one.xml, the URL's are at the top and the link names are near the bottom.
Good luck :wink:

thnx

I haven't Full_One.xml
I use only the plug-in extracted by the orange rom.
Some other ideas ?

hi, where can i get this plug-in? and can i install this or t-mobile rom ?

Hi cudo,
Here http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=61711&highlight=today+plugi+orange you can file the cab e some other file.
I'd like to personalize the cab if I understand how it work.
It works on qtek 9000\jasjar\xdaexec so I think is good for t-mobile too.

Hi Guys,
That plugin is from the SPV M3100 and works diferently to the Universal version. See my post at the bottom of that link above.
If you want the proper Universal Today Plugin with bigger icons for the Universals bigger screen. You'll have to install the Orange M5000 ROM, as its built into it. Plus the Orange ROM has just been updated with a new Radio driver.
I'm using the new Orange ROM, with the last O2 Ext ROM, and the Signed_ORUK_HomeScreenReg.sa.CAB from the Orange Ext ROM as it has the Reg settings for the plugin. And everything is working great. 8)

I downloaded the cab from ftp, and install it, but nothing seems to hapen

Hi people,
This thread is more usefull if you are looking for a cab file.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=61711&highlight=
I installed the cab posted and works fine on my wizard. Although u do lose all your other today plugin functionality. But the plugin is handy. even though limited in use.
I was thinking of finding some great developers on this site who would like to creat such a program but which could be used alongside the other today plugins. Anyone interested let me know.
Cheers,
Shah

What do you mean "finding some great developers"?

@filippodisvevia,
Heres the CAB file, but it ONLY works with the Orange ROMs. As the files needed aren't in the other ROM's.
@gtm55,
You need the Orange ROM installed before the CAB file will work.

Great or good developers. Who are able to program such a plugin. because u have beginner programmers, novice programmers, and advanced programmers and if you like great programmers.
Just to keep it simple a person or persons who are able to create such a apps, which is usable in different WM phone devices. I just used great, because I know there are some pretty great (good) programmers on this site.
Cheers,
Shah

Thank you, ZaForD, I really like Orange plug-in, but I'll stay with T-mobile (1.30.115 WWE).

Thank's so much fora cab Zanford

Every help will be fine.

Network Analyzer for WM5 available from MS!

Hi There,
Just found the following info there:
http://www.clieuk.co.uk/wm.shtml
Can output packets to a cap file (ethereal) among other things.
Direct link to the software:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...01-49d4-4506-a03b-c41bc76c2f51&DisplayLang=en
And for those overlooking the instructions:
Only install in ROM, not on Storage/SD
Cheers,
Hal

Software placeholder
Here is the software, just in case some can't access this page.
Now the question is: does it work in L2 promiscuous mode? Would be nice to troubleshoot basic WiFi...
Enjoy,
Hal

I'm wondering how it works overall.. I haven't tried it yet, as I've had this fit of customizing OS ROM's that I think I finally have out of my system.. Need to put it on my device, just haven't gotten that far yet.

I would really like to test this little util, but doesn`t work on my O2 Trion.

More screenshot

oh its taing too much of real estate My screen area!

Does it support VGA?

Backlight working ?
Does the backlight button work with this release ? In the other version your device will freeze at bootup....anyone tested already ?
btw: seems to be the same version like in the other post....
Cheers
Edit:
Could not wait Just installed, no problems on my device (Artemis) and Backlight-button. Looks cool.
What i don't like: in the GUI-Config you can only add apps from the Programs-directory (for example: when you want to add solitaire (which is stored in "Games"), you need to move the shortcut into the Programs-Folder....or you need to add the registry-key in HKCU\Software\HTC\HTCPlus\Shortcuts manually....or am i wrong ?
But in the end.... i think i stay with HTC Home....

Works on Artemis?!

It's interenting that you had no problems. I also installed on my Artemis with official HTC Asia WM6 rom and yes, it works until you switch off the device. Than you can never switch it on again, only by soft reset with stylus!
So I uninstalled the prog quickly...
Otherwise it would be nice to have it on Today screen, so if someone could construct a bug-free cab from the extracted files I would really welcome it!
cheers

Anybody tried this on a Touch?
The "other" Version (as petervbeck says) in the Hermes Forum doesn't work on the Touch.

I doesn't work on my Touch!

Working on Wizard
HTC Plus is Working on Wizard!
just 2 bugs:
when you select battery status in Customization and you tab on the symbol you go to wifi settings and backlight is not working

I'm using Tom's 4.1 full and as i said, no problems. But in fact- i like HTC Home more, but that's my opinion.... on my device i had no problem with hanging boots or something similar, i tested all the buttons....but not for a long time...then i switched back to HTC home...that's my expirience with Plus..

How about a little credit where credit is due? This is the same version I posted in the Hermes forum here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=326689
Today I posted an updated version that should help some people who had problems with it.
This tool was non-functional when I found it. I had to dissassemble the dlls to find out why the utility would not work (missing HTCImgCodec.dll).

Is the "aplication launching pad" of HTC plus finger-scrollable, or the only way to scroll is by tapping on the arrow?

Can anyone confirm that it uses less memory than HTC Home?
