? Use TouchFlo to Launch another Program ?

Is it possible to do this?
I have Mobile Shell 2.1 installed and have disabled TouchFlo. It would be nice to be able the launch the SPB task manager with the "up" gesture of touchflo.
Or... vise versa. Switch the gestures so that "Up" Launches Mobile shell and the "top to Bottom" launches the task manager.
Anyone?

wince registry
Check out the Biotouch folder in the WinCE registry. There are some keys that define which apps to launch (to work the cube). Try changing one or all of them to the .exe for SPB. I'll try right now, but I don't have SPB, so I'll make mine launch something generic.

it works
Just change
HKLM\Software\HTC\Biotouch\Biotouch\App1 = "QuickDial \Windows\QuickDial.exe"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
to
HKLM\Software\HTC\Biotouch\Biotouch\App1 = "QuickDial \Windows\cprog.exe"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and the phone launches the dialer when you do the upward swipe.
The animation still plays for the cube, so that'll need some tweaking. We need a dedicated biotouch hackery application.
=)

that didn't seem to work for me. it always seems to launch the tflo quick dial.
i tried both, a shortcut "Task Manager.lnk" and a program file "cprog.exe" as replacements... followed by resets.
no go.

tomtom navigator screen orientation

Hi all,
I was wondering if it is possible to force tomtom navigator to always open in landscape mode.
I've been using gyrator2, but when i mounted in the car, the screen seems to jump around unsure of which way to orient, most probably due to vibration in the mount (which is another issue i'm going to address).

I've seen the same thing happen with GSen.
Just add TTN to the list of excluded applications and rotate the screen manually where necessary.

1. Install "Mortscript"
2. Run TomTom270 (Edit this file with notepad, change the value from 270 to 90 if you want it to turn other direction landscape)
3. Create a shortcut in Start Menu if you want.
NOTE: Don't forget to DISABLE it from any rotating application if you have added e.g. Gyrator etc.

But where do you need to edit the tomtom file, is it on the desktop or on my mda compact IV? i've installed the cab file, en there are three wordfiles in different languages?? pleasee give me some more direction.
thanks in ahead.

Copy both the file to your device
A. MortScript 4.1
B. Just One of the MSCR file which ever direction & popup or No-Popup suits you.
After the installation of MORTSCRIPT just run "TomTom2.mscr".
You can also make a shortcut under Tf3D Programs tab:
1. Copy a SHORTCUT of the TomTom270.mscr file to (\Windows\Start Menu\Programs)
2. Remove the NORMAL TomTom icon from the "Programs Tab" (Optional)
3. Add "TomTom270" to "Programs Tab"
I have uploaded again:
1. Mortscript 4.1
2. Start TomTom 270-degree with a Rotate question Yes,No,Cancel (It will ask you the question everytime you run this file)
3. Just Start TomTom 270-degree withOUT a Rotate question
4. Start TomTom 90-degree with a Rotate question Yes,No,Cancel (It will ask you the question everytime you run this file)
5. Just Start TomTom 90-degree withOUT a Rotate question

Hi, I have a Touch HD and when I try and run the script it rotates for a second and then rotates back to Portrait view.

You said that you were using gyrator2.
I'm a gyrator2 newbie, but I created a TomTom orientation Event, mark landscape and rotate screen.
I don't know why TomTom don't start at landscape after that, you once you put the phone on landscape once, inside TomTom, it never changes anymore. So it will work for you.
Rodrigo

i prefer changescreen absoluting the best soft for turning apps.....
never had problem...

Same with me, doesn't attempt to load TomTom, just switches Programs screen to landscape for a second or so, then switches back

Thanks guys works great!
...although I had the same issue with my HTC Touch HD, simple fix just edit the tomtom7.mscr file you created and correct the path, which should do the trick!
ie.
Rotate(270)
Runwait( "\Program Files\Navigator\Tomtom Navigator.exe" )
Rotate(0)

Works for HD2!!!
Works for my HD2 as well, you just need to edit tomtom7.mscr and correct the file path, for me it looks like:
Rotate(270)
Runwait( "\Storage Card\Navigator\Tomtom Navigator.exe" )
Rotate(0)

Need help for Gsen!!!

Hey guys,
I just got my HD and have really no clue how to get the gsen to work so i can write sms and emails in landscape. Also I would like a few other applications to be in landscape too.
Can anyone help me??? It would be greatly appreciated.

Can someone please help me? or give me website that gives instructions? I really need help for this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

gsen should by default enable landscape for almost any app (with some exceptions like tf3d and so on). after installed you should run gsen manually and then notice if the screen rotation is working. then if you like etc you can run gsen cfg and set it to autostart via left soft key.

Is it the best software for the HD to use for auto-rotation? Also how do i install it on the phone? thats my main problem. It seems to have come already pre-installed but cant figure out how to work it....

simply download the cab trasfer to phone and tap on it from the phone

Pre-installed?..... GSen doesn't come pre-installed.
Where did you get it from?

He's probably just talking about the original rotator that excludes most everything, aside from the media/internet based programs.

Works??
Hi again.
I installed the prog right now, started and open the settings. Screw the phone -< works fine. close settings, open programs, tur the phone again -> nothing happens. Like in nearly) every other program. Opening the settings again, nothing happens too.
So i turned the GSEN off an on again sometime, settings work but nothing else.
WHAT'S THE PROBLEM???
Thx for reply

Did you read the readme.txt file that came with gsen?
Works fine on my HD
Here is a part of the file:
1. Description
Auto-rotate screen on SOME devices with g-sensor.
Install GSen and run it.
If you run it again, program will ask you "Unload program?".
If you answer yes - program will be unloaded.
This also possible without question with parameter #unload.
You can use configuration shortcut for edit configuration file.
This file can include this command:
#window(text or class name) - add window description
#timeout(value) - default value 1000 ms
#onlyfor(0|1) - if 0 auto rotate work for all programm except defined by #window, otherwise ONLY for this program.
By default program not rotate screen if Manila or Teeter is foreground application, but you can edit this list.
#fdscreenoff(0|1|2) - if 1, program will switch off screen if you put device with screen on bottom, if 2 device will suspend.
#lockscreen(0|1) - if not present = 1, can prevent, if enabled, rotation with locked device
#poweroff180(0|1) - if not present = 0, determine interpretation of rotation to 180, 0 - rotate screen, 1 - power off.
GSen can indicate self state,
you can setup it with this commands:
#show(0|1) - if 1 GSen will show one pixel (by default) indicator on top bar.
#x(X),
#y(Y) coordinates of this indicator, default X=240,Y=1
#clr(R,G,B) - color, default white (255,255,255)
you also can setup width and height (#width(W), #height(H))
Commandline parameters:
#load - load app, if loaded already - exit without questions
#unload - unload app
#toggle - if loaded will unload, otherwise will load, usable with one shortcut
#about - show about window
if you start without parameters - program will ask "Unload?" if already exist one instance, or simple run if not exist.
NOTE: some programs, like Teeter game, cannot start in landscape mode, so switch to standard display orientation before.
Cheers

Yep
... I did.
First time I installed it I changed someting in the configfile as advised. But it doesn't work so in uninstalled and reinstalled it. Then started the prog.
SOMETIMES the picture turnes but not everytime.
I've got a HTC Touch Diamond :-o Shouldn't be the problem i guess...

Okay...
I just changed timeout to 5 and it works just fine on HTC touch HD
Guess it shoudn't be a problem on Diamond.

What is the Contacts program name?
In the GSen Configuration file, I want to be able to tell the program to leave the Contacts screen alone (to not rotate). The only problem I have is that I don't know the actual program name for Contacts, and where is it located?
Thanks,
Peter

Got it ...
I figured it out. When I entered the following command into the GSen configuration file:
#windows(Contacts)
It didn't work because I didn't first save it. Now that I've entered it again, and then saved the file, it works.
Peter

Is there any way to set it to rotate the Today screen? I'm using the default config and all programs rotate apart from Today.

i dont understand any of this talk.. if you go into the gsen edit screen, are those what will not rotate? eg, i would like to see the settings screen rotate, how do i add that? would it be something like #window(settings.exe)

Rotate screen possible without slideout ?

Hello everyone,
i've been trying several roms since few days.. and love them all
appreciate all the work you guys do, but i have this one little thing that i wish i had.
Why do i need to use the keyboard to go to landscape? is there no other option?
(i cant seem to find it..)
So i would like my screen to always rotate in every app when i rotate the phone.. (g-sensor rotate is on, but hardly ever works auto) OR have a key or app that i can use that overrules the sensor and just let me choose landscape mode.
Because the auto rotate doesnt seem to do that for most programs untill you slide the keyboard out. but i dont need my keyboard...
examples: i like tomtom in landscape, but not with the keyboard slide out!
(that way it wont fit in my carkit..)
and i want to be able to rotate a movie or tekst message whenever i want to..
etc etc.. (with the g-sensor OR some key or APP or something else)
or is the answer: its impossible? can hardly believe that, because it seems so easy to do.
thanks for any help

Search for ChangeScreen or G-Config.
Or set Send Key to rotate manually:
HKLM/System/GDI/Rotation change the "HideOrientationUI" from 1 to 0
Now you van remap the Send Key to do this on long press. [FONT=&quot][/FONT]

use this cab to rotate TF3d with out the keyboard
than use the g config app to add other programs to the rotate list, once you add the cab or any program using g config you have to soft reset for them to work
edit i have tom tom and adding it to g config app work great in landscape

very very nice
works like a charm with not much lag.
thank you.

just to let you know what i found as my final solution (for now) after lots of trying different roms:
i read somewhere here, (cant find it anymore) about setting the hardware "back" key to rotate screen on double click...
so no auto rotating anymore, only when i want to, with this tool:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=554240
Together with the ROM:
Phoenix 2 Sense 2.1 EnergyROM_28011_RHODIUM_07.Dec.2009_Standard.rar
it all works like a charm.. manila rotates very quick and everything else.
rom has start button on bottom and standard 4 columns in programs, nice agenda in landscape, yes i like this one
coreplayer works good.. no accidental rotates etc
i can just lay in bed and watch my favorite movie without troubles.
tomtom in widescreen in my car etc etc
thank you all for this superb forum

Try these Registry Settings
1. HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila -> add a new String Value with the name "EnableLandscape" and the value "true" (both without "")
2. HKCU\Software\HTC\HTCSENSOR\GSensor\ModuleName -> add a new String Value with the name "TF3D" and the value "\Windows\manila.exe" (both without "")
3. HKCU\Software\HTC\HTCSENSOR\GSensor\WhiteList -> add a new String Value: Name: "TF3D Value: "Manila" (both without "")
4. Change HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila DisableRotation value to 0 from 1.
5. Softreset

Search for flip_IT, found it in topaz forum, burried somewhere. It works awesome with WM6.5.x builds.

i used this clever little addin and made a shortcut in start menu n quicklaunch panel enjoy !
but as i found some programs will no look right when used in landscape mode.

Way to rotate manila to landscape?

I'm getting mixed results from searches. nothing solid for touch pro 2. i know i have had roms that rotate with the accelerometer. is there a cab or registry fix for this feature?

try changescreen ... i've been using it to rotate screens and it works great on the tilt2

HKCU\Software\HTC\HTCSENSOR\GSensor\ModuleName
create a string called Manila with value of \windows\manila.exe
and
HKCU\Software\HTC\HTCSENSOR\GSensor\WhiteList
create a string called Manila with value of Manila
i do this everytime i install a rom so i know it works.

Thanks apax and Jack of Clubs

The Jack of Club's suggestion will make the g-sensor work in manila natively (the reg edit just tells it that manila is one of the things it should report to). There's at least one cab floating around that does the same thing, but doing it manually that way would be just as quick as downloading and running that.
However, after I used that method, I found that it would rotate at times I didn't want to, and it wasn't something that any sensitivity adjustment seemed to correct. So, now I've just used Rhodium Keyboard Controller to map screen rotation to a long press of one of the front hardware buttons ("back", in my case)...that way, it's just an easy button-press away, and it never rotates when I don't want it to.

yeah i have found that it doesnt always want to switch to landscape. i found that the start menu wont rotate if manila wont. so i figured adding the start menu will encourage manila to rotate more responsively. it might be placebo but you can try. i added it using bsb g-config and this is the registy entry it added:
HKCU\Software\HTC\HTCSENSOR\GSensor\WhiteList
create a string called Start with value of MSSTARTMENU
and this is the entry that was added for the today screen:
HKCU\Software\HTC\HTCSENSOR\GSensor\WhiteList
create a string called Desktop with value of DesktopExplorerWindow
you can try. it doesnt hurt anything to add them.
