Gyrator issue solved? - Touch HD General

I know this has came up before but i am not sure if this is solved.
I download the gyrator and everything is fine. However whenever I lock the phone I can rotate the TF3D screen. Once it is in landscape mode, half of the screen is mess up. Is there any instruction to disable rotation when the phone is locked?
thanks for advice in advance.

Same here , I couldnt find out HOW

I'm not sure even where to begin (please use search as this has been solved like 5 times over; not that it was really a problem to begin with, just an issue). But to save you time this once (SEARCH) here's a couple options.
If you want to keep using Gyrator: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=448141 (that itself has two different solutions, one applied to probably what you have done and have auto-rotate everything and then exclude certain things and the other is rotate only things which you want rotated (probably better, definitally safer and less buggy)).
Furthermore you can change from Gyrator to Gsen or ChangeScreen(probably better as it's dumbed down and made really simple but still very effective) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=468488&highlight=rotate
Lastly (not really, I just don't feel like typing more) you can change your ROM to Dutty's as it runs on the new manila v3 which allows for landscape rotation (Dutty's is not the only ROM that has it, so once again, you have choices here as well).

You need to set Gyrator so it doesn't rotate in the lock screen, manilla should already be disabled but when the phone is locked manilla is not the foremost app anymore. To do this add a new event above Rotate, Edit the event and call it something like Disable (Lock), set the Application to Dialog, set orentation to portrait, set Actions to Rotate screen. Click apply then Click and hold the new event and set it as Orientation and click apply again. This will also stop your email from auto rotating in message view, but if you go to landscape in the list view you can still work in landscape for email and SMS.

I already did so, thank you. But I really wanted to get manilla working in landscape mode with the standard ROM. I saw it working fine with other cooked ROMs but not with mine. The only way to solve this is to flash with a newer ROM ? Or there is a cab to solve this issue ?

New rom
Hi there, I believe your problem stems from the fact that your version of manila does not support landscape viewing. Having tried a few things with varying success, I flashed to Duttys 2.1 rom and am glad to have done so. It's a far superior experience with hugely improved notifications, faster response times, more storage space free on the HD itself and it also rotates manila without glitching the backgrounds.
I recommend you try it

Actually the dealer told me that I would lose the warranty if I flash the device with non official ROM. Also my ROM is not found on the internet ( 1.14.488.3 WWE )

no current stock rom runs on manila v3 and therefore no stock rom supports landscape. In order to avoid voiding warranty, you can flash the rom using USPL (keeps original SPL) and then before sanding your phone in for w/e reason you simply flash back to original rom (by either backing yours up or chances are it's already posted in the wiki ROM section as they have most of them). If you were to send in the phone with a none stock rom, they may or may not refuse to fix it because technically you have voided the warranty (but if you flash it back to original rom using USPL, then they have no idea)

HTC Gsen in More Apps (from TP2)

If you guys didn't see this http://www.fuzemobility.com/?p=2225 the gsensor has now been enabled in a lot of applications without the third party apps (this is HTC's gsen from the TP2 with a mod to the registry). You need to install the attached apps (which come from JMZTaylor of PPCGeeks): http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=58596
You'll get gsen love in email, contacts, IE, calendar, etc and all you do is change the registry values in HKCU\Software\HTC\HTCSENSOR\GSensor\WhiteList to add or remove apps from the gsen list.
Herg is adding a few apps to this list so this will likely be updated shortly.

I installed it. Work great ! Except when HTCvolume changed and multiples apps open like others (changescreen, gsen, ...)
Hi, what does it do exactly. does it scroll or just rotate the page?

just causes the screen to rotate
This is cool, thanks.
BUT could you tell me what "Jmz gsensor setup.cab (4.8 KB)" does?
I installed herg62123's cab and it rotates all the simple apps I need, and leaves TF3D alone. Then I installed Jmz gsensor setup.cab and the only change was that TF3D tries to rotate, which I don't want.
seems to have a problem with the HTC Calculator ... it will rotate and go back to the TF3D screen ....
If you install Herg's app that is all you need as it incorporates the cab in the first posting with a few additional applications that herg added (so it rotates in more apps). I have it working on the calculator and it works as expected- it causes rotation. For me it does not force me back to TF3D
I find that S2P will not rotate with this installed.
Anyone has the same issue with me?
This is fantastic, thanks!
I was using Gsen but the tiny white pixel in the top middle really annoyed me. Not sure if it was intentional or not, but it was there when Gsen was active.
This also does not seem to rotate Manilla when the device is locked, as Gsen occasionally did.
Also much quicker to rotate.
I have tried Gyrator2, Gsen and this one, and this is easily the best one to use on the THD.
I can rotate almost everything with the new sdk; however i have problems with spb wallet: it rotates only if i keep it opened for half an hour in background (seems the sdk takes the whole life to recognize this module is running).
Btw:
- class for .net apps is #NETCF_AGL_BASE_
- wildcard (*) is allowed as window class name
apparently, for me, it doesn't work at all .....
i tried turning on the camera, once i turn it sideways, it will minimise the camera and go back to TF3D.... ditto for calculator, and any screen that it rotates .... it will minimise the current screen and push me back to TF3D home page ...
anybody else having this problem?
hello i need some help i install the Jmz Diamond2 G-Sensor.cab and Jmz gsensor setup.cab. nothing happen when try to sent sms it still didn't rotate actually nothing rotate. i reread the form i think im missing this part "HKCU\Software\HTC\HTCSENSOR\GSensor\WhiteList". I new at this so i don't know what it mean or how to do it. If that not the problem then anyone know why it didn't rotate after the 2 cab file i install. Thx for Help

Screen rotate

Can you rotate the screen whilst on TF3D?
Like so when im typing a text, its sideways (Landscape) and not long ways (Portrait)?
When o nthe internet it does it auto when I turn the phone.
Its a standard HD, no roms installed.
Yes you can, and plz use search.
There are many many ways to do this on the hd. you just need one of the rotation programs (changeScreen, gyrator, gsen....).
Again, plz use search before posting.
Topic Creator,
You can use programs like Changescreen to do what you want. I'd recommend this program as it seems very good and user friendly. However, if you want a more normal hands on approach, you can even use AE Button Plus, or heck, make a mortscript to do it for you.
However, after testing on my own HD, you can't really flip the the TouchFlo HOME screen as it'll be all funny and weird. I'm guessing you'll need a custom ROM like Dutty's to be able to do that.
Cheers.

To clarify that, in order to flip 'home screen' or any of the manila tabs, you need manila 2.0 or higher which supports landscape. Manila 1.0 (which is stock on all stock ROMs) does not support landscape mode. However, you will still be able to rotate the sms/email to landscape (without flashig the ROM) through one of the programs as they are not part of manila. (As noted, it is also possible to assign rotation to one of the 'hardware' buttons instead of using the gyrator/accelorometer.)

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.

Disable rotation on phone screen

Dear All
I own a Blackstone with dutty 3.9 rom, WM6.1
I disabled Manila, I have few applications running.
I have a strange behaviour: the screen which is the active one when I start a phone call, always rotates. I dislike it. I wish it stays on on vertical position.
What I have done?
Installed changeScreen_conf and tried several settings (the prone windows process seems to be called "cprog").
I have added cprog in the "exception" list > no way to remove rotation of the phone screen...
Installed G-Config and tried to remove any application which seems related to rotation in phone: no result.
Installed HD Tweak and put sensitivy for "rotation" at lowest level > no improvements..
What can I do next?
What I am doing wrong here?
Thanks and waiting
Saulo866
Shall I try another rotation application whihc can really influence the behaviour of phone screen?
Thanks and waiting
Saulo
I don't have that ROM, but Gyrator 2 works a charm on my relatively stock HD. Search the +120 replies on the Gyrator 2 thread and it explains how to solve that exact problem. Mind you a playing with Gyrator for a few mins and you'll figure it out yourself.
Thanks a lot S4, I will give a try.
Do you believe i should unitstall first "changeScreen" and any other related rotation application G-config? One of them is embedded in the ROM (G-Config)
Thanks a lot!
Saulo
No need to have duplicate rotation apps as this will only confuse your device, especially if they have different settings. Uninstall one & reset device before installing another

how to disable TOTALLY auto-rotate

hi,
i installed Kenia V Rom (WM 6.1, Sense 2.5).
I would like to disable totally any autorotate.
I tried in a lot of ways:
- installing programs (flipit, changescreen, gyrator)
- using programs and tweeks in the rom
- using some reg keys (local>software>htc>htcsensor; and other keys)..
....
...but i can't disable autorotation in album...after soft reset, the key "local>software>htc>htcsensor>gsensor deviceAvailability" (that i set to 0) come back to 1.....
any ideas?
thanks
MOD EDIT - Thread moved to General discussion forum as not related to rom development
With apologies to thread starter, I want to do the opposite! I want to have everything on my Touch HD rotate as I use it in the car landscape. The last thing I found would do this is MaxManila but nothing since and MaxSense does not support landscape.
For example, using Energy ROM with CHT, 21908 / 2015 10 Jul 10, this has rotate screen so I get into car, rotate to landscape fine, start satnav which is landscape OK, then someone calls me, phone answers in landscape then switches (without me doing anything) to portrait, finish phone call and now satnav has switched to portrait. Aargh. Where/how can I find something that just sets autorotate everything = on without having to set every single bloody application separately.
gyrator 2 does that.
and it is free and easy to set up.

From memory, Gyrator was one of the apps cooked into one of the many ROMS I tried since the last MaxManila one. I had to set each and every application I wanted to be landscape. Such a PITA, I never bothered. Plus it didn't seem to work OK with dialler (or I couldn't find how).
I just checked today on the Gyrator 2 thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=427805&page=132 and the developer himself said
I've moved over to the Android platform now, with an Acer Liquid, so when I've finished things up with my thesis, I'll likely be making programs for it. As such, it's unlikely I'll be adding new features to Gyrator
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So I am not sure I want to get used to an app which is no longer supported - I can see a time when next ROM I flash, Gyrator stops working...
I don't understand why autorotate was so easy with MaxManila and almost impossible with everything else? It is very difficult to find answers (try searching for rotate or landscape and you get so many irrelevant results - it's like searching google for "and").
Surely I can't be the only person visiting this forum who has satnav working in landscape while in the car?
the newest gyrator version has a general rotation implemented, meaning, it will turn the display in ANY program by default, the only thing, you'd need to set up are programs, that you don't want to turn, like phone or coreplayer...
Thank you. The latest version on his site I can find is Version 2008.12.10 r1 - is that the one you mean?
I do need the dialler to rotate also, because if the Touch HD is landscape in the car and the phone rings....
yepp, that's the one. at the very top of this page: http://gyrator.brins0.net/?page=downloads
