is there anyway to keep the phone in landscape, permenantly (even when I close the keyboard?)
i'd like to know about this aswell for the wizard.
I've never tried it personally, but I saw this:
Start > Settings > System tab > Screen
then choose Landscape
Does this help?
thanks for the reply.
that only works until the keyboard is flipped out again!
there must be a way to stop the OS from flipping when it hears that command.
Hi!
Sorry to dig up a post - i thought I'd rather dig this up, than make a new post .. so that no one has to repeat themselves
ERmm - yes, is there some sort of mod, or way to make your TyTN stay in Landscape mode permanently?
Yes, I go to the system settings and change the Screen rotation to landscape, and it stays that way .. and i slide the keyboard out and it stays that way as well .. but as soon as i slide the keyboard in, the damned thing decides to get back into portrait .. sigh .. anyhelp?

Yeah, I've made a hack for this. I'll release it shortly.

Hey V, can you PM or IM me when you get a chance. Thanks
i launcher allows you to rotate screen pemanantly along with the other thousands of things it does!!
futuresbright: does ilauncher maintain the orientation when you open and close the keyboard?
V
you can edit the registy just serch you reg for landscape and portrat copy the landscape ones and past them over the portrat one but why would you want to do this?
This is a good option to have, I think it will be very useful for people who use the keyboard a lot.
ill try and find the exact keys and values for you to change but if you want to change back youl have to edit the reg or hard reset
sorry posted reply away from device last night.forget what I said about ilauncher it does revert back to portrait once keyboard is opened and closed.sorry.
n00b question:
How does one regedit on a PPC?!?!
Thanks for the answers guys! I just prefer the landscape orientation, and find it a pain in the arse that it reverts back to portrait when i open and close the keyboard.

I needed this feature also on my Universal. I am using it only as car navigation. So I used a magnet which I glued on the back of the car holder (brodit) thus everytime I put the Universal in the cradle (slide it in from the side) the screen automatically rotates to landscape.
i've been looking at the registry and am unable to find what to change.
I have a solution to this, but am working on a more elegant solution. I didn't look for a way through the registry.
Did javaoverride2003's suggestion above work?
V
couldn't try javaoveride's suggestion - didn't know what keys and such to play with .. hum ..

Hi Vijay, - Any news on this app to stop the autorotation? Much appreciated.
Yes, VJUzumaki is pretty much finished in its current form, but I didn't release yet because I was curious if the registry editing method mentioned worked, in which case there's no need for it.
If the registry method doesn't work, I'll release it.

I did the usual reg hack hklm/system/gdi/cleartypesettings/0 switched off phone to reset & it works for a few times but then it reverts back to normal on its own accord. Checked the reg setting & it shows 1 again. Any ideas, because its driving me mad having to change it again & again.
I use Orange SPV M3100 & PHM Regedit

Try Twkcl.exe
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=15688
Maybe the solution, it works for my Tytn:
Make the registery change as described for the wizard.
Go to landscape (keyboard slided out) en go to start, settings, system, Screen, General (must be landscape), ClearType, enable ClearType.
Then: make a softreset not using youre stylus but trough the On/Of button, or Softreset trough other possibilties.
After a couple of resets it still works till now! Just testing right now the stylus reset: result: [email protected], so that is really the problem. Using the stylus hole softreset (what's the name for it? Resetbutton for stylus?).
So again procedure as descriped above en never use the resetbutton for stylus anymore until somebody discoverd a solution for it!
Has someone did the trick allready?
I'm going to try such trick, thanks..
I think that's an HTC issue, because it happens also on Qtek 9090...
On Motorola MPx I changed reg value one time and it always worked across lots of soft resets.

i never use 'resetbutton', but always resetting device with on/off button. even with that, cleartype in landscape mode seems to be lost after couple of resets (or maybe, offs/ons).
Can anyone confirm whether or not Twkcl.exe works?

At least you did get it to work. I have no luck with this method at all.
As I mentioned before, Twkcl.exe works well for me. Maybe you wanna try that and forget about tweaking the registry.
I think I know ur problem, try closing the reg editor from memory running programs screen before you reset. That worked for me, but am going to try twkcl now to get it to stay.
that's odd... I followed the instructions for TwkCL but it makes no difference, the reg setting goes back to normal after the 2nd reset.
I physically copied TwkCL.exe to the extended_rom, then edited the config file, that's all I need to do right?
Nothing happened so I edited the registry as normal and it just went back as usual.
Hope someone can help,
Cheers.

No need such complication....simply copy Twkcl.exe into the \Windows\Startup folder will do.
I believe the instruction is for effecting automated configuration during hard-reset so that Twkcl.exe will be copied to your STARTUP folder after each hard-reset.
Marvellous.
Thanks!
I could easily give some money if someone could make a program for making the bottom menu bar to hide and pressing like the big round bottom on phone would make it visible again. It would give alot more screen space for alot of programs, like writing sms etc.
It would be really great, I bet alot of people would like it to and also pay for it!
thanks

Great
It would be really good removing it, having more screen space like opera when browsing it goes to fullscreen and pressing on the screen will make the bar's and menues apear again. Something like that would be great for the rest of the phone!
Ok ill give 200sek for the one that fixes this mod!
hiding top and bottom menus! And makes them appear when wanted!
Questions? ask!
you can do that with vjtoggletoday (www.vijay555.com) and a tool for setting registry keys (the guy who has written batterystatus has also written such a tool).
create a lnk file with the desired settings and map it to a key. that should do it. but you only have one key available to map (long end key)
I've seen that toggletoday thingy but i think its for wm5. I've tried installing it but nothing happend.
Thanks thou!
hi guys, I wanted to just remove the bottom bar like u guys and found this software from some site. Dont know where actually.. But it works on my Diamond.
It just removes the bottom bar.
Hope this helps.

Nothing happend with that cab. I did a soft reset but didnt help!
thanks anyway
same here
doesn't work with my touchflo
also tried a softreset
tried to install it with touchflo disabled
and when i enabled it ..... nothing
(also tried the softreset afterwards)
any sugestions ?
reg references ?
(maybe's there's is a way to just remove the black bar (as was done with the curtain remover) and leave the buttons intact ?
(that would be the next best thing for me)
I'd rather hide the menues completly. It would be really nice having a full screen phone. Now it looks more like a pda

vjtoggletoday works also on wm6. make sure it is the alpha2 version.
you can use the attached zip file. put the autorun lnk file into your windows startup folder and configure this utility before soft-reset.
advantage of vjtoggletoday is, you can define how much of the bars' height should disappear.
another app is dcinobar which hides the bottom bar only

I dont know what that apps did to my diamond. Im not setting that on autorun! And the config file how are you suppose to config it? When neither of them starts?
by the way: both apps (i have attached dcinobar to my post above) only hide the bars on the today screen only. the bars do not disappear if you run an app.
if this would help you to some extend, i'll give you a step-by-step instruction for vjtoggle.
dcinobar is easier. just run the tool.
Have you tried them on a diamond? Cause the dcinobar did nothing on my diamond.
And the other program i think i will need a step by step guide
Thanks mate!

dcinobar works definitely on diamond. i am currently using it myself.
as said. both programs only hide the bar on today screen.
dcinobar: just copy the exe file to \windows\startup\. softreset. that's it.
vjtoggle:
copy the vjtoggletodayiialpha.exe to \Program Files\vijay555\
(if you keep the directoryname, you do not need to adjust the lnk files)
copy the vjtoggletodayAutorun.lnk to \Windows\StartUp\
copy the VJ Toggle Config.lnk to \Windows\StartMenu\Programs\
now run the config tool and set the values to 0. the config tool only sets the registry keys which are being used by the file in the startup folder.
alternatively you could do the settings yourself:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Vijay555\VJTodayToggle]
"Enabled"=dword:00000001
"SoftKeySize"=dword:00000001
"StartSize"=dword:00000001
"TrayVisible"=dword:00000001
in this case the top and the bottom bar will have the size of 1px (just in case you still want to access them )
soft-reset.
if you do a soft-reset i would recommend to switch the phone off (long press on the button on the very top of your diamond).
if this is not working, you are definitely doing s.th. wrong as it works on my diamond.
post here if you need some more help.
vjtoggle:
copy the vjtoggletodayiialpha.exe to \Program Files\vijay555\
(if you keep the directoryname, you do not need to adjust the lnk files)
copy the vjtoggletodayAutorun.lnk to \Windows\StartUp\
copy the VJ Toggle Config.lnk to \Windows\StartMenu\Programs\
now run the config tool and set the values to 0. the config tool only sets the registry keys which are being used by the file in the startup folder.

I did that, step by step. When i rebooted the htc, i didnt get a top menu at all and not just in today in all windows. And the bottom menu was still there.
And what happends if this will work. Will i get 2 black bars instead of 2 menues or will the screen auto adjust?

the space available for today screen will increase. the today screen is not stretched by the size you gained, you 'll have more space available.
did you try dcinobar?
Hi,
I've owned the Xperia for a week and it's a great WinMo device. However unlike Touch Pro or Diamond, there's no registry tweak available to turn off the auto wake up on new sms feature.
I found it really annoying. Everytime a new SMS arrived when the phone was in my pocket the screen automatically turned on, and as I was walking my jeans' pocket continuously "touched" on the phone screen and accidentally opened bunches of programs and scroll up and down until it hanged.
It will be perfect to just make sound + vibrate, but keep the screen off, as I could do on Touch Pro.
Anyone knows of such a solution please do help!
I need to bump on that...
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
aint advanced config 3.3 working for that?
I was having this problem too... the only thing I changed to attempt to fix this was instead of pressing the power button to sleep the phone before I put it into my pocket, I press and hold the end key so that it locks the phone and dims the screen. The screen eventually turns off and it requires you to unlock the phone when you power it back on. When you receive an SMS or Email, the screen still lights up, but you have to press unlock, then tap unlock to start using it.
Yes, I have the same problem too and hope we can have the option to turn it off so that the screen will not lighted up when there is new sms or call.
Can someone work on this?
The registry key used for the tweak that works on Touch Pro does not exist, which is HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL

That option is for Touch Diamond and Touch Pro only, and it does not show on Xperia when you use Advanced Config. It's obviously related to the registry key mentioned above.
I have found the solution, just need to use any registry editor like the Resco Registry Explorer or the SKTools to edit the registry.
Dont want the device to wake up on new SMS ?
It still notifies you with sound/vibrate/LEDs, but the screen will not turn ON
Just add in the below line into the registry location :

"DisableSMSWakeUpEvent"=dword:1

Im assuming when updating this key will be deleted and have to be put in again???

Not sure about yours but I do not have this key so I have to create a new one and it is working.

Hey All,
I just got my phone this friday and installed tomtom 7on it.
It works nice & fast for those who want to know... But how can I get it into landscape?
I read on internet that you need to put your phone in landscape modus before starting up tomtom but that doesn't work (rotating doesn't help)
So what I also read is that you can assign a button to force rotation... But well I can't find the settings... Any help?

Use a 3th party gsensor app.
Add TomTom in it, and allow it to go landscape when putting the phone in landscape.
Hmm sorry for being noobish (this is my first windows mobile phone), but where can I find that specific G-Sensor app, I googled but all I can find are some silly G-Sensor games etc...

Does it work in the HD2, or do you have it running on a different model ?
I use Change Screen on my Diamond.
You can set TomTom to ONLY work in landscape mode, so when you start the app, it then rotates to landscape, and will not flip to portrait and back again when you go round a corner a bit fast.

Yup. If you're a memory freak like me and doesnt want to install unnecessary cabs running in the background when HTC already has a rotate function, i suggest using what's already there. Holding down for 2sec and voila! landscape. I find all the other rotate programs to be a huge pain (and sometimes dont work at all!) and take up to much RAM. Assigning the <rotate screen> to the call button was the best thing I've ever did.
Leo hardware button
Nice programme, simple, effective. But with al LEO it seems you can not assign hardware buttons to programmes. Or I am I doing something wrong here?
Same here... Found where I can assign the buttons, only no buttons appear so I can't select anything...
The strange thing is that autorotation of tomtom 7.916 worked on the HD out of the box which doesn't work on the HD2. Perhaps the API changed but i hope TomTom / HTC comes with an update to fix this.
Sorry wrong answer. Deleted.
Auto rotation working fine in my Brandnew HTC now.
Found the tips to get it working somewhere else.
Step 1:
Go to the following Registry key:
HKCU\Software\HTC\HTCSENSOR\Gsensor\ModuleName
Add a new STRING Value:
Name: TomTom
Value: \Program Files\navigator\tomtomnavigator.exe (if you have a different language you may need to change Program Files to whatever you have)
Please note that in this case TomTom is installed on the Device, NOT the Storage Card.
Step 2:
Go to the following Registry key:
HKCU\Software\HTC\HTCSENSOR\Gsensor\Whitelist
Add a new STRING Value:
Name: TomTom
Value: MunichWinClass
Now do a Soft Reset, and now when you start TomTom and put your HD2 in Landscape, TomTom will rotate automatically.
Maybe someone can make a cab for this ???
yep i've used that registry fix above and that does get tomtom to auto rotate, better than using a 3rd party app, although if you had bsbtweaks installed you might have been able to get it to auto rotate using that.
Personnaly, I use BsB Tweak to enable landscape on many programs, included TomTom
