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

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.)

I think unapproachable2k found how to fix this. He created LS skins but I couldn't figure out where to place them (see srs:... thread)

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:

When in camera use "Contacts" hotkey to switch camera's modes...
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.

Get yourself MAgic Button and forget the rest. It's free, easy to use and it has no issues with WM5

Magic button recommended. google it.

If you just want a program to close appication, a tiny freeware called "smclose" (8 KB only) will definitely help!
Put it in your \Windows\startup folder.

Thanks Bro
thanks bro just going to install it, i have used O2 (cracked) and its working fine too but i think is much lesser then o2.
is there any hack/tweak or software to speed up prophet, its kinda slower then jam/magician,
any sugguestions?
thanks for sharing the software
thanks

Thanks, i will test ...

P3600 Review

A little review with pics posted in my blog, in spanish language (sorry for inconvenience), of course, with pics.
Click on my sing.

I have played with the trinity 1 day(also have a jamin) and a few thoughts
No fingerprint problem in the white version at least(think how hard it is to keep a black car looking good--but easier with a white)
Boot up speed very fast--45 sec or better
Bluetooth music--you will need all the tweaks of the prophet/hermes but if done it sounds good. No skipping with iplay/ R35
3G works even with my old ATT sim card(very fast download speeds- 5 x edge). Able to stream Sirius on the high bitrate setting! Can receive voice call while getting data!
Not unstable--put pocketweather, weatherpanel, ip dashboard, pocket plus, chronos--no probs
Camera-better with low light conditions
Speed-overall better
Speaker/ringtone--louder
Downside-None yet

I still cant believe it....
Got my Trinity one week now and its really the best Gadget I ever had. There is simply nothing wrong with it. Everything works. Fantastic.

Which are all the tweaks? AFAIK there is only the 'JointStereo' one.

BTW--no problem streaming internet music over wifi to bluetooth headphones. This would not work on prophet

Indeed, it is that great. I changed from Qtek 8310 (HTC Tornado) and I'm simply blown away about how much more you can do with this thing

Dude! Do you have the same sluggishness with the dutch P3600 (maybe WWE has it also)... i really think it's horribly slow sometimes; slow menu popups, unbearable scrolling-speed, etc. It seems to consume lots of RAM compared to WM2003SE on Jam when running.
Nice review btw !
Do you have any good tips in the field of registry-hacks 'n stuff ? Like making it possible to map more buttons ?
I've read somewhere here that there's a lot of tweaks for Bluetooth stereo on the TyTN and the S200...what would those be, and can someone explain some more about that ? (i'm having trouble connecting it for the first time, and some dropouts sometimes... will resume music after phonecall though )

When a lot of programs are open it slow down a bit, but not that much. The reaction time of menus is slower then mine Qtek s100. I don't know if it is a WM5 issue or the device. Emulators like Scumm and Dosbox feel definitely faster.
I also made some registry and Windows Mobiles hacks.
I mapped the speech recognition button to the CommManager and the voice recorder is the speech recognition button.
I added the US/WWE softkeyboard to the device. The Dutch keyboard is missing the question-mark and exclamation-mark when showing large keys.
I now have the WWE keyboard which is definitely better.
Maybe I try to create a new thread with some registry hacks next week.
At this moment I try to buy a Nokia HS-12W headset, I hope it is compatible with the HTC P3600.

Just curious, how did you add the US/WWE keyboard?

I extracted a HTC Wizard (WWE) rom to my PC.
I copied the following files to my device:
msim.96.dll
msim.dll
After placing the files you need to add the next registry key:
Code:
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{42429667-ae04-11d0-a4f8-00aa00a749b9}]
"ShiftLock"=dword:00000000
"KBMode"=dword:00000000
@="Keyboard"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{42429667-ae04-11d0-a4f8-00aa00a749b9}\InprocServer32]
@="msim.dll"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{42429667-ae04-11d0-a4f8-00aa00a749b9}\IsSIPInputMethod]
@="1"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{42429667-ae04-11d0-a4f8-00aa00a749b9}\DefaultIcon]
@="msim.dll,0"
There is only a problem with setting it as default input methode.
It gave me a white screen after a soft-reset.
Next week I will try to post the files, if it is legal.

Controling Media Player from today screen or even from handsfree?

Hi,
Have searched in vain. I want to control MP "globally" from today screen and other places, is this possible?
Mostly play/stop and next song is what i want to do. On my nokia when i listen to music in handsfree a click on the answer button goes to next song and holding in that button goes to speed dail.
this is what i would like to have on wizard. is there any apps or regestry changes to make this possible?
thanks

Voice Command will allow you to control media player through your headset, or should anyways.

it's a Russian company (i think) sbsh definitely is, so it probably is an acronym for some nouns in Russian. maybe the s and b are something to do with ppc.

Hello,
No response maybe because nobody have it for the test -
I receive my hd mini, next week i will give a try.

I'll try to check tomorrow; along with Slingplayer, Mobile Shell, Calendar Touch, Coreplayer, HiCalc... Just a question of whether developers think WM6.5 HVGA or WP7 devices will be the biggest market over the next few months.

TomTom 7.915 working without a problem on HD Mini; first lock took about a minute, subsequent locks about 10s.
Also Coreplayer decoding DVD-ripped 700Mb movie files with a benchmark of about 105%, which is much better than I was expecting.

I can only get sound working but no image, I tried .avi & .mp4 files

I have Coreplayer 1.3.6 build 7427; the trick is to change the Menu->Tools->Settings->Video output type to Raw Framebuffer; GDI seems to work too, but not as well.

It seems to work with both but I don't see a notable difference.

TomTom is very important for me.
Now I'm just waiting for the HD Mini to be released in Denmark.

I agree.....no TomTom no phone......
You can order already the WWE version on various places....

using qvga tomtom and no problems. some minor crashing text on the gps status screen but nothing to worry about.
