[Q] is there any software to trigger the landscape?

as the title asking? any??
i would prefer a software that don't need to install and put it in the start menu
like a "landscape switch", when run it--->landscape, run it again---->normal
Cause i see some "wifi switch" and "bluetooth switch"

Hmm, can you perhaps try and explain once more what you're after?

well i'm not sure what you want... but if you want the phone to go into landscape mode when you turn it use this program:

I think he's more after a toggle switch rather than auto-rotate on g-sensor
My old Hermes used to have an option that you could assign a button to "rotate clockwise" but there's no such option for Touch HD - I looked.

thanks for the link, but there's no way to download the program!
Edit: finally managed to get it by googling the program name
Took until the 9th search result to actually get a working download location!
Edit 2: went to assign it with AE Button Plus and there's already an option to assign buttons to "rotate screen" and "rotate screen clockwise"

In case you don't need it for something else you could remap the long keypress on the left softkey to 'rotate screen', that way you don't have go through the menu, just a thought.

I always install PHM Key tools on every Windows Mobile device I have, an excellent piece of software, as is all PHM stuff.
There you can rotate the screen to your heart's content.
I'm sure I wrote the same app once (VJBigPhone?), but PHM Keys is better.

DredSensor v1.0:
=======================================================================================
=======================================================================
Reviewed on gadgetmix.com: See the article
=======================================================================
If you have tried to play a game needing left and right key on an HTC Touch Diamond, you noticed that they are 2mm wide and if you click next to it, you get back to home page or to dialing menu etc...
So I've written a prog allowing you to lock these 4 keys actions and replace it by classical key event (VK_LEFT, VK_RIGHT, ...).
In that way you can play tetris, and use "Pick-Up" and "Hang-Up" keys for going left and right.
Link ->: DredSensor
To use it, you need:
1) An HTC Touch Diamond (it's the only one i have so i can't test it on other models)
2) Install the .cab
3) Reboot your HTC
4) Run a game (or app or ...)
5) Get your stylus out and back-in, in less than 1 second
6) Click "Yes"
----- A config window opens:
7) Check that Type = "HardKeySimul"
8) Click "Ok"
Now you can use (and eventually assign) your 'Home', 'Back', 'Pick-Up' and 'Hang-Up' keys in that game/app.
Actually, the 'Pick-Up' and 'Hang-Up' keys are always defined as Left and Right events.
Have fun.
Ps:
For people interested, the other "Type" in the config window are:
- "Launcher": allow you to quicklaunch 4 app (that you define in the config wnd) when you double tap (not click, just tap) on one of those 4 keyz
- "Scroll": allow you to scroll the current window by tapping those 4 keyz panel
- "KeySimul": allow you to send left/right/up/down events by tapping those 4 keyz panel

Thx, now I can use opera mini and pie (good for mlb's wap) in full screen

Thank you very much. Great program. Now, with left and right softkey hardware buttons, I can play with my java games.

Do any of them even work on the vga screen?

first of all: great app!
only thing i don't like is that now every time i pull out the stylus the phone vibrates. maybe you could make the "window-catching-thing" optional, so you have to enable it first?!? with that, the app would be perfect to me!
figured out an other problem: the "scroll-wheel-function" in opera and tomtom doesn't work anymore...

Hello.
As it's a background program, making vivrate the phone is the best way i found to easlily know if it's loaded or not.
If you don't like that, you can disable it by manually editing the 'Config.ini' file in '/Program Files/DredSensor':
Go under the section you want to disable vibrator in (ex: "[Default]")
Add: "NoVibrate=1"
For the scroll problem, i didn't change scrolling system from v1.0 so are you sure it was working in v1.0 and it's no more working in v1.1?

@Dredger97
Thank´s for this wonderful tool!

is there a wa to map home/back to A/B controller buttons? Trying to get it to work with PocketNester Thanks

Thanks
I will tried

Seems to be good. Shall download and try...

Doesn't work for all hard keys
I have the original diamond and it doesn't look like any of the key presses work.
I could really do with replacing volume and Home/Back Buttons. Do these buttons
support Long press too?

If you go in PocketNester -> Option -> Controller, you can see that it's default mapped to 0xC4 and 0xC3 key codes.
So all you have to set in DredSensor is:
- Home: "Key:0xC4"
- Back: "Key:0xC3"
I tried that on super mario, it works, but the problem is that you can't press those keys and simultaneously press Left and Right so it's quite hard to play...
In fact you can map Volume Up and Down keyz to button A and B and it's much easier to play.

The actual version of DredSensor doesn't change anything to volume up/down buttons.
All it catches is Home,Back,Talk and End hard keys.
About long press,
- In "Launcher" mode, you can define action for "Long click"
- In "HardKeySimul" mode, if you make a long press to "Home", and mapped "Left" key to "Home" button, it will occure a long press on "Left" key.

I just don't seem to be able to get this to work - I follow the first post to remap the home and back keys to the softkeys, but home always takes me back to touchflo.
Are there any other things I can try, or is it just the ROM i'm using doing this?

I don't think it's a ROM problem.
The 2 most common reasons for not working are:
It doesn't work if you have G-Scroll or something similar installed.
When you edit config for an App, this config only applies when "Window Title" and "ClassName" of the foreground window matches what is defined in that Config.
If it doesn't match any config, DredSensor doesn't catch your hard keys.
You can use wildcards in your Config so, for example, if the app you want to configure always changes its title, you can set "*" for window title.

everything gose well in my diamond! Thx!
just a little suggestion : as volume up/down could be very useful in some app (like a game emulator), could you make them configurable in your next version?
nice job!

I make a softreset and works whit no problem, when i click home button open the program i assign.

Doesn't seem to work in Phone screen. I am not sure if it is because it is a dialog class. If this could be made to work, it would be great as when a person has multiple phone numbers you could scroll by pressing right or left key.
Thanks in advance

just tested it with tetris and it worked great. good stuff

I've nothing like that installed - I've tried wildcards, and soft resetting between altering them, even setting the default so that it should catch any class or window so that the home and back keys are soft keys one and two.
It's semi trapping the window and keys.......I just wonder if your app is not being fed the correct window name/class, or there's some extra characters or something that is fooling it.
Here's an example - setting home and back keys to the softkeys, with a config of * for window, and * for class.
On the touchflo screen, pressing home will take it to the phone screen (correct left softkey action), but once in the phone screen, pressing home takes it to the touchflo screen when it should go to contacts.
If I'm in any other application, it never traps the home key, and will always go back to touchflo. Disabling touchflo doesn't change this, it takes it back to the today screen.
I'm using shak's rom if anyone else can confirm they can get it to work using that one

Change lower buttons functions

Hello, In rhodium the lower buttons are "Phone" on the left and "Camera" on the right.
How can I change this buttons to other functions as "programs" or others?
I try with Advanced configuration tools and other utilities but when soft reset all return with original values. My rhodium have Italian rom.
Thanks

Use HD Tweaks works on mine.

Use HD Tweaks with caution.. Some of the tweaks might give issues on TP2.. For one, its a know issue that one or some of the volume tweak would disable sound on your TP2.. There after, you make calls and you can't hear the other side..

Use Touchflo Detacher, you can set the softkeys on the homescreen aswell as in Touchflo 3D to any application or shortcut (ink) you want.

At the moment I have Camera and Windows Messenger

Hard Keys
In case you didn't know already, you can also set the Send key as a shortcut as well. Just go Settings > All Settings > Personal > Buttons

You can remap both soft keys (left and right) the same way: either choose the program from your application list shown in the pull-down window, or choose the application from any location on your device by clicking [...] path search on the right side. This way you can remap both soft keys to ANY program on your device.

with a reg editor you can go for : HKLM->Software->HTC->Manila
Here it is : HomeRSKPath (Write the path of the desired app)
Below is : HomeRSKText (Write the text you want to see in home right soft key).
Hope it can help.

Is there a way to just remove the two soft buttons and have the tf3d icons on the bottom? I am running an auto lock program and the phone button is not needed as I can use the hard button.

Here is an exe-file. Place it anywhere you want and make a shortcut to the startmenu map. Now you can assign the sendkey longpress to this shortcut. Works great on my Mega. Longpress rotates t landscape. Longpress again rotates it back.

thanks that worked awesome!!!

you're welcome

it is work. But how do I set is as shortcut?

when you rotate the screen the keypad goes full screen qwuery it stays qwerty but on 2/3 of the screen because on my touch2 it does not enlarge when rotating.

Steps to follow:
- longpress on the .exe file,
- select copy and then
- navigate to the startmenu map.
- Select menu from the menubar. If i'm right you can select edit (i've a dutch version so i'm not sure) and than
- choose the option shortcut. There is a shortcut of the exe file now placed in the startmenu map
if you want you can rename this file

Rotate on long press

I'm looking to set my long press send (left) key to rotate. I have read several threads saying to use rotate(can't find) and rename it and other threads saying not to do it that way.
Hoping someone can point me in the right direction.

I'm using PLToggle. Try it, it's working just fine for me and you can choose the way to rotate: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=5317261.

I have hd 2 after installing "rotate screnn 1.1 a diet is turning but the screen is empty not apparently of clock, of icons only a black screen!

This trick is somewhere in the forum so do not give me credits for it:
Copy both Rotate.exe and SendKeyIcon.exe directly to Windows folder of device, then copy Rotate.exe from windows
folder and Paste Shortcut into Windows\AppButtons folder then make Registry additions posted below.
If I remember correctly You have to create the Key 40C6
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Keys\4 0C6]
(Default) String Value \Windows\AppButtons\rotate.lnk
Flags DWORD 0
Icon String Value \Windows\SendKeyIcon.exe, 0
Name String Value Button 1(Hold)
For me it works perfectly, i also have installed PLToogle in order to set the rotate direction.

Just solve a similar problem on my HTC Touch 2 without installing any dedicated software :
To Unhide Screen Rotation Option browse the registry to [HKLM]\System\GDI\Rotation and change for HideOrientationUI value
1 for "hidden" --> 0 for "visible"
restart your device and the setting should be back.
now you can go to Start > Settings > Buttons and assign "long press send" to <Rotate Screen>
in addition : under [HKLM]\System\GDI\Rotation
LandscapeMode set the rotation direction
set LandscapeMode to 4 to rotate clockwise or 3 for anticlockwise
Only the first value need a restart of your device.
enjoy !!
