Manila 2d almost in landscape, need one more thing...

Hey guys,
Ive been working very hard at getting Manila2d to work in landscape (when you flip out the keyboard while manila2d is active then it will automatically switch today plugins)
this is the last piece of the puzzle: i need a today plugin that works in landscape and that can be skinned to look like TOuchflo 3d in landscape (basically skinnable shortcuts)
if i get it working ill release a .cab!
thanks guys

something like RLtoday maybee???
Very curious how it looks in landscape on my Kaiser

thanks for the suggestion mate.
however after Googling it i saw that it was more than just a few shortcuts, even though it could easly be skinned. can you have it where it only displays shortcuts? if yes, then i will definitely try it out

recommend the landscape same as HTC touchpro after flip out keyboard
http://www.htc.com/www/product/touchpro/overview.html

yes, thats exactly how i want to skin it.
does anyone have any othersuggestions for programs that might work for this?

If you want it like that maybee something like mortbuttons is a better option...
Don't know if it's easy to skin..

thanks again man
i just downloaded mortbuttons and it appears that its only a standalone applicationa dn not actually a today plugin, but i think im missing something.
ok: can a developer whip up someting really small thats just a today plugin thats made for landscape that looks and acts like the touch pro's landscape?
thanks

I could make an rlToday skin super fast for ya. Tonight even. QVGA I assume? I'll leave the purdy graphics to you, I'll just make a template. How's that sound?

I would focus on Touch Dual and Action Screen.
When you sliding the keyboard of Touch Dual - the action screen starting up. Maybe something similar is done on Touch Pro.
Cheers,
Chris

thanks a lot

1stly : the wasy u guys help each other out - like a family - I LUV DAT...!! 2ndly I SSSOOO LUV DIS FORUM...!!! As soon as I have cleared my overdraft am donating. Dyin with anticipation for TF3D to arrive.

Nearly done, but it's 3am here in Aus I'm going to hit the sack, and will upload the completed one tomorrow.
It's based entirely on rlToday, and respects rlToday's application shortcut menu [so all customisation of app names and links can be done without touching XML ]. Nothing fancy, no animations, but it'll work.
Edit:
That's a lie. My trickery to over-ride what I was going for didn't work, so to edit the shortcuts you'll have to dive into XML for now, until I can find a way around it

are youy actualy working on manila2d or skining some other app that looks like it?
What about HTC HOME? that works in landscape

Ask APBilbo. He made something similar with ThrottleLauncher in landscape.

Any news on the landscape???...my kaiser is screaming for it

i am close on landscape look at the pictures below

I've got my somewhat finished rlToday skin here if you'd like me to upload it. All it needs is the XML to be changed to link to whatever apps you want, and change the icons to whatever you want.
Give me a yell if you still need it.

what about today life? Not sure if thats what your looking for.

Posting before reading i should now better.
MortButtons?!
You can either bring up a skinned Menu or the Buttons Today Pugin.
Not sure if that's what your after.
But it would be drawn to the screen much faster then RL.

I 2nd the motion for HTC Home, its easy to use, elegant, and much more useful than a simple action screen. If HTC Home isn't the OP's preference, can we have a second version of the program that supports HTC Home?

[APP] Simplest working workaround for Landscape TF3D

Inspired by http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=471295
Instruction:
Make sure that that TF3D installed and works like it should in portrait mode
Get latest MortScript from here. Tested with latest beta (preferable).
Install MortScript on your X1
Unzip attached script and put in your \Windows\StartUp (or localized name) folder on your X1
Softreset (or run script manually)
Report
The basic idea is VERY simple - just prevent screen rotation while TF3D is active and allow landscape for any other apps.
Script dynamically switches between landscape and portrait modes if keyboard is unfolded and device is switched from TF3D to “normal” app or vice versa.
If you are using standalone SPb Mobile Shell (not as a panel) this script prevent show "SPb Now screen" on wakeup if TF3D is onscreen.
Now with real prevention of landscape for TF3D.
Drawback - camera button remapped to right softkey while TF3D is on screen. Looking for solution.
Version History:
v1.0
+ Initial Version
v1.1
+ Added ability to autodisable "SPb Now on wakeup" while TF3D on screen
v1.3
+ Real prevention of landscape for TF3D. Camera button not functional while TF3D is on screen.
v1.4
+ While TF3D is on screen right softkey button works as camera button
+ If TF3D isn't on screen right softkey buttion works as right softkey (hardcoded)
Please include in report TF3D version (source) and type of TF3D use (Today/Panel).

I like simple and effective solutions, kudos

OK, so test it.
And don't forget to report.

Just developed new script for people who use SPb Mobile Shell not as a panel.
I’m personally prefer use SPb Mobile Shell in that way because I like fullscreen look and feel of Mobile Shell (and Mobile Shell Panel doesn’t support Russian).
This script include functionality of TF3D landscape workaround plus prevent SPb “Now Screen” to be shown in case that TF3D active.
If you don’t have SPb Mobile Shell you can use this script as well, it will function only as TF3D landscape workaround in that case.
Installation instruction in first post.

Just tried it. It works. When the phone switch to landscape mode when you slide out the keyboard, it switches it back to portrait mode.
Although i really wished that this script stops TF3d to switch to landscape mode entirely. so we dont see that ugly ass half pixelated screen at all

It's just my first mobile script.
I'll try to find out is total prevention possible becase I don't like ugly screen on nice device too.
But anyway it's better to have ugly screen for 1-2 seconds than ugly screen all the time.

Just developed new solution with real prevention of landscape for TF3D.
Drawback that camera button not works while TF3D on screen. Looking for solution.
New version in first post.

1.3 works fine, camera has no issues.
using Itje 2.2 tf3d as today plug In

1.3 works, but it disabled the camera button as stated
Using UK generic ROM, tf3d as panel. fix it fix fix fix fix!
Thanks btw!

Just wondering how you got yours to work? I have the same ROM as yours, but nothing works on my phone...won't go into portrait mode at all

did you follow the instructions exactly? do you get any error messages?
i originally used the version of this with the spb fix in it (for no reason than I could) then replaced the 1.3 file. Can't see how that would make any difference.
I am using the b10 of mortscript btw, but don't think that makes any difference.
Karlson nice script, I might try some different plugins, if I can get the old BIG VGA home plugin working from the x7500 that would look great in landscape. I've never been that impressed by this action screen..
Think about it I might just try some of my old Rltoday screens.

Very nice fix
my TF3D screen doesn't rotate anymore Thank you

Share your ideas - I can make more scripts for any automation.

Just published new version.
Camera button remaped to right softkey.
If TF3D isn't active right softkey works as default (hardcoded).
Please post any suggestion especially if you need different right softkey functionality.

Well, it would be nice if you could wrap a small UI around your app. Perhaps a landscape disable "toggle" and right softkey remap toggle as well? I'm going to try it again, see what it does now.

for TF3D, I have Version 3.0 (Build 32076) <-- This one came with itje's Touch-IT Xperience ROM v.2.2
for MortScript, I'm using the latest one from the link you provided

using V1.4 looks better
just a little problem though, when i slide out my keyboard it kick back to portrait then came back to landscape --> improvement, it stay in landscape, last try it will always kick back to portrait.
when i slide in, it close the cmEXlandscape perfectly
GREAT JOB!
THANKS!!
Cheers

Has anyone tried this with TF3D as a panel?
Also, what happens when I slide open the keyboard, does it rotate back to portrait or does it show the tabs, but as shortcuts on the screen?

Simply irresistible offer
I'd realy like to use my right softkey to start recording voice notes (single press to star recording, not "record while holding")

Landscape in Diamond 2?

I have searched heaven and hell to find a way to get the D2 running in landscape view, that is for it to switch to landscape view when you rotate the screen. So far I have found apps that allows everything but manilla and its tabs (including home page) run in landscape.
Is there a way to do this?

You can make use of the Topaz drivers itself to do auto-rotation. You do not need to install additional application running in background.
There're some registry editings to be done. Nevertheless, you can use this application to help you enter those into the whitelist. You need to soft-reset after inputting all the applications you'd like to auto rotate.

I tried that, along with changescreen. I still can't bet the tabs screens to rotate. I don't know what I am doing wrong.

Landscape manila for d2 is more annoying then useful, if you tilt the phone past the tilt point either way (portrait or landscape) it will rotate and take at least half a second to change screen, and it enerally takes more to come back to portrait. This makes it difficult to immediately read stuff or accept calls as the screens changing layout and the buttons end up in different places.
Landscape would only be useful on phones like the pro2 and it's previous variants when you need landscape while the keyboards out. Other than that just make your mail programs etc landscape capable.
There are other threads with reg keys and apps to use, just follow those and see if they give you success.
Cheers,
Scott

Graphics from the manila tabs aka TD2 homescreen are not designed for lanfscape view, therefor its like Scott (post #4) sayd, more annoying than usefull.

Thanks a lot guys. I think I see your point. Funny thing is that it was my recently installed S2U app that drove it home. It was annoying as hell when it kept switching to views.

Are you trying to rotate device and use landscape?

I tried to rotate the device, what do you mean landscape? Is any application?

You can hold device in your hand in either portrait or landscape, i.e. vertically or horizontally
Depending on what rom you are using landscape mode may not be available for TF3D as its only available on manila 2.0+
You can use free apps to rotate screen including gyrator, changescreen, flipit. Quick search in apps/themes forum should find them
Alternatively flash a later rom which has landscape functionality built in
