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.)

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.

GSen (SKKV Software)

Anyone tried this app on the athena? (as it also has an accelerometer) If so does it work?
http://s-k-tools.com/index.html?m_util.html#gsen
Would be brilliant if it works but my hopes aren't high as I couldn't find anything on the topic.

looks like a nice tool, but after I installed on my Ameo I tried to use GSen Version 1.40.
But a window popup with following message :
cannot connect to GSensor (1)
mhh, doesn't run on Ameo ... and delete it ...
Ameo, t-mobile ROM version 6
btw: I've now asked the developer why GSen is not running on Ameo ... hope I get an answer..

Accelerometer
Hey,
I've installed it on my HTC Advantage X7510 with WM6.! Professional, and I can confirm that it works.
When I'm in the today screen and I turn the PDA it does turn in Landscape and Portrait mode with no problem great at last it works.
Thanks for the link if anybody what's me to try anything please let me known.
Thanks
Gigino

I am happy for you gigino, but I am in the same boat as palmchen (have a X7500 with t-mobile WM6 ROM).
Perhaps the interface to the sensor is slightly different between WM6 and 6.1
I am sure it can't be that difficult to access it from WM6. Hopefully the developer will be able to implement it or give some clue which will assist some brainbox from this community in hacking this version to get working with WM6. In my eyes this is one of those killer apps.

I tried this on wm6.1, and had the same error message.

IMO the answer is simple: it works using HTC VUEFLO .dll. X7510 has those dll, x7500 doesn't!
In AP4 or AP5 it will work

could you please provide the new vueflo.dll for the old devices ?
If it only a dll to change that should be not a problem, or ?
btw: I've asked the developer, but he told me that he is to busy and have no time in the moment to update this programm.

Thanks for this. It is a great find. Works well with my X7510.
This is a must have application for the X7510. It is just amazing.

For some it is a must have. For others, it is an annoyance and irritation.

only because we can't get it working!

Sorry guys, we doesn´t have these devices for testing.
We just was surprised about the info, our tool is working on HTC Advantage X7510.
Also we not know the reason why it is not working on HTC Advantage X7500.
Possible reasons:
- missing/different software driver
- different ROM/ACU version
- missing needed hardware
As i said, we cannot test because of missing hardware.

Not because of that. It was working all right.
I hated this auto rotate thing because 9 out of times the rotate happens against my wish, and it slows my device.
After the initial few minutes of novelty, I was already wanting to switch it off.

Thanks for the info, but I still far prefer assigning rotate screen to a hardware button and just press that when I want to rotate.

No, I don't, there are SOME dll, you can find it in the AP4 / AP5 ROM. I agree, the rotation is too slow and the screen rotation is useless and time consuming 90% of time. My brain is much faster in image rotation and my finger is slower than brain but acts only when needed

Screen rotation is fast on mine. Might be ROM or today screen related in yours.

The speed you can change in settings: #timeout(value) - default value 1000 ms

I have tried it, but still I get the message that the gsensor cannot be found.

Oeps it just start working. I noticed the veuflo was disabled.

can anyone post those .dll files, so others can use them? thanks

[release-updated 9/1] nueNoBar 1.3

Hello,
I have coded a replacement for dcinobar, which hides the bottom bar on the today screen, letting you use it for your today screen plugins. Unlike dcinobar, nueNoBar works with the latest wm builds (WM6.1 build 20000+). If dcinobar works on your ROM, use that instead, this is really for those new builds dcinobar's method doesn't work on.
edit: updated to 1.3, hopefully fixes more problems some people were having.
Download it from http://www.nuerom.com/BlogEngine/page/nueNoBar.aspx ...

Thanks heaps. Good to see a much-requested app updated to the latest WM version.
On a side note, how come your rad nueLED isn't on your website ?

Does not work on my Diamond with WM6.1.
I installed the CAB, rebooted and nothing happens, the softkeys are still visible.
Do I have to start a program to activate the hiding of the softkeybar ?

Hello, looks nice, but after installing it on my WM6 dvice there doen't seem to be any change after a soft reset. Is there something extra i need to do to use this?

looks like if the cab file is incomplete... not any file installed on my ppc... Wei Enterprise directory was not even created...

I got it working by manually stopping and restarting the nuenobar service.
However it also hides my phonealarm, see the screenshots (before/after) for an example.

and thanks no2chem for the program (because vjtoggletoday didn't work any more since i upgraded to wm6.1....)

doesn't vjtoggletodayalphaII does exactly the same thing? (also hides the systray)... that's what i'm using.

Probably yes ( if it works OK as I do hope).
vjtoggletodayalphaII and dcinobar weren't working with the latest ROM builds as stated by no2chem on the 1st post.

dcinobar works fine on WM6.1 for me.

good to see what i am missing with the new builds allthough it is not fully working yet for me. for me it is working, but only after restarting the service. after every softreset i have to restart it over again.

seems weird to me that it works on some of ours but not others.

okay, I will check why you need to manually start and restart the service as well as phone alarm. most likely, i moved the bar down too low, and phonealarm is checking the position of the bar.

directory is not used, it just installs a single 10kb dll "nueNoBar" to your \windows dir.

Good news.
I also need to resart the service, but it's working for Tomal v8.2.
Maybe the service needs to be started with some delay in order to work.

NavNGo iGo 8 for the X1

I'm a long-time fan of NavNGo's iGo navigation solution, and since yesterday also a happy owner of an X1. However, these two are currently not on speaking terms with each other. Installation seems to work fine, but clicking the application icon results in, well, nothing.
Searching the net in general and this forum in particular has shown me that this has been a problem with a number of HTC devices. I have tried a couple of the proposed solutions for some of them, but none have worked so far. Has anyone managed to get iGo 8 (or, for that matter, 2006 - I have both) running on the X1 and, if so, how? Any help would be appreciated.

did you update to the latest version with the contentmanager? also try to disable agps on your x1 and try again, but what also can happen is that it dont likes the WVGA Resolution for that i dont have an solution.
regards charon

Using latest version. I read in other forums about disabling agps, but saw other posts claiming that was not necessary with the latest version. Either way, if I'd want to try it, how do I disable agps?

I think what you have to do is find a skins that is wvga compatible for it. I've been looking all over the net to find one, but I cant. I'm sure this is the problem.

one thing you could try is to add the sys.txt lines without using the skin. Does the original skin resize if you do that?

Oh sorry for the mix up, I've basically been preparing all my software that I was using on my omnia to use on my X1 that I will get in a few days, So I won't be able to test this yet, but I believe that the skin was the only think that would've been a problem on the x1, but now it's solved. If it doesn't work even with the skin, I have tomtom7 that I know works on the x1 (according to other owners). But I can't wait to have mine!!!

I am trying to decide which one to install - gyrator OR mobilemagic, unfortunately I really don't have the time to read tens of pages of posts just for this
Since you seem to be familiar with both (and gsen on top! ) can you please describe the reason(s) you prefer mobilemagic? Thank you so much!
Cheers!

PS: I also checked the programs from your signature and I saw a really nice set of WM icons for bluetooth, wifi and the rest - do you mind sharing the source with us? Thanks again!

MobileMagic also supports button mapping (and other sensors).
Works very well.
