Afternoon all,
Does anyone know if the auto screen resize/rotate function can be disabled on the Universal? It sends my GameBoy emulator wonky every time
Also whenever the SD card slot is used, the SD Card autoplays. This is quite a pain with TomTom on the card as it takes a good 40-50 seconds to fully load and exit TomTom. Can this autoplay be disabled?
Any help would be gratefully appreciated.
Thanks
Graham
you can disable the autoplay by renaming or removing the "2577" folder on the SD card.
Thanks for the info. Works a treat, even by just renaming.
Does anyone know if disableing the screen auto-rotate is possible?
Yeah, anyone with the screen rotate solution?
What's the screen rotate problem? I think I have a solution to it... but just fill me in first.

I'm guessing that they don't want the screen to rotate when they move it from laptop mode to PDA mode and vice-versa. Can be a problem with GAPI games and emulators when you need to move the screen out of PDA mode to get at the keyboard. In reality what they probably need is an app to lock the screen in PDA mode since this is what most games are expecting.
Yeah, I made one of those apps once, to prevent screen rotation.
It has some side effects, eg screen doesn't switch off when you close the lid, unless you expressly press power button (since the system doesn't know the lid is being moved around anymore). So I didn't release it.
Could you live with that handicap? Hopefully the app could be toggled, so it wouldn't be an issue.
V
I wouldn't mind giving it a go, I've been bitten by the screen autorotate a few times myself and needed to soft reset to get control back again.
Hi Vijay555,
Which is the name os that application? I have been looking for it in your site but I was not able to find it :-(
Thanks.
Vijay
Hi Vijay,
I'd love to try this app out. Sounds like exactly what I need.
I'd be very grateful if you could provide a link to it for me.
Thanks
Graham
As I said, I've never released it because I didn't think anyone needed it, it was just some research I was doing on another issue.
However, give me a few days to see if I can pack it into an app.
V
Thank You
Thanks very much.
Really appreciate it
Wooooow!!
I am eager to test it.
Thanks a lot!

hurray!! is it ready yet? my god I'm crying a very tiny tear because I'm hoping you'll release it and fix my problem...
I have no problem whatsoever pressing power button to turn off screen as I do it automatically to save power...
Yubastard: fortunately I re-wrote it, now it has no side effects, just disables the autorotation.
It's now called VJUzumaki, but it's unreleased. The code was written for someone else, and they have to decide what to do with it. PM me this weekend tho and I'll see if I can send you a beta.

Hi,
I've seen in pocketnow review that it is not possible to switch to landscape mode in this device, You can only view pictures and webpages on that mode, But you can't switch the whole system as we get used in our previous devices.
What do you think?
If this is related to TouchFlo, I don't want it in landscape mode.
Thank you,

I have Gyrator 2 running on my HD which allows you to rotate any program automatically. It's very cool!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=427805
i do use Gyrator 2 to ...but it stays in the list of running progs of the task-manager,
is there a way to get it out of the list but still running?
(gsen does not show in the list but i have problems when watching a movie whit core-player)
wktask 1.20a is a great task manager that also allows you to rotate screen. It seems to be working fine for me.
Thank you so much guys,
This was the only thing between me and the HD ,

I have found the tip to access Navipanel without the dock. A couple of questions:
It seems that Navipanel can only be used in landscape mode - is this right because I tend to have my phone docked in portrait mode?
How do I exit Navipanel once I have finished with it?
Thanks,
James
How did you open Navipanel, i don't seem to find it in the Windows folder.
By following the instructions in the hints and tips - see the sticky at the top of the forum.
6. Enable NaviPanel Without Owning the Car Kit/Navigation Dock
Go to Windows folder and copy NaviPanel.exe as a shortcut to Windows\Start Menu folder.

I don't have the navipanel.exe in the windows folder so I cannot copy it anywhere.

You must use Resco Explorer (AND switch off in setting of resco "Hide hidden files", Hide files in Rom") !
I just wanted to post that RescoExplorer doesn't show hidden files by default. I found it with total commander and then thought it might be an option like that in Resco.
Thanks guys.
Any thoughts on the original questions ?
1. Couldn't swear to it, but I think I remember seeing pictures or video of the panel in both landscape and portrait orientations
2. Press the Home key - the panel doesn't appear to stay resident in memory - haven't checked this with Memmaid or anything yet, but it certainly doesn't appear in Task Manager (Dutty's version)
A far bigger pain is that all of the links seem hard coded to a Co-Pilot install on the device, as opposed to one on the SD Card - iyt would be nice to be able to customise it!

Hi Gustopher - Thanks. It seems Navipanel starts in landscape and then if it feels like it rotates to portrait. This only seems to happen occassionally which is very frustrating because the most common case it that it is stuck in landscape mode. Does anyone know of a way of starting Navipanel in portrait mode?
To be honest all I want to achieve is to switch the phone to a mode where when I answer calls they automatically go to speaker phone and ideally for screen lock to be switched off. This must be a common use case for people who have their phone docked in a car. Anyone know of how this can be achieved using something other than Navipanel?
Many thanks,
James
Well, the Navipanel is supposed to be used in landscape mode in conjunction with an official dock in the first place.
double post.

On my phone navipanel is switching automatically when i rotate phone.
There is just a 6-7 sec. delay when switching landscape to portrait and 1-2 sec in oposite direction.
Just on another note - navipanel won't start on my HD2 no matter what i try - does anyone else have this problem? Also, what does it do!
it just loads up a half screen
hi
can we link Navipanels shortcuts to different navigation software?igo 8 maybe?and i would like to do the same with footprints.i don't like Copilot.
thx
I had the same problem so I wrote a little app for it.
Just copy it to your CoPilot folder and put the path to your Navi Software in the config.ini.
With igo8 I had the problem that it couldn't find its database when you start it this way so I had to create a link to igo8.exe and call this link instead.
You can get the app here:

i ve got a hong kong hd2 and there is no navipanel.exe in windows folder. can any one extract the exe please?
Anyone found the archive?
Dear developers,
I have a big issue with Rhodium, apparently without solution (as I see in the forum many others have it): if I use any G-Sensor application to rotate the screen to landscape based on the internal G-Sensor, some windows/applications still show in portrait. One example is the Dialer, that cannot be "kept" into landscape just by keeping the phone in lanscape position.
I've searched the registry and found an interesting key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Keypad\IsSlideOut - value is 1 if the phisical keyboard is open and this triggers the entire Windows and Manila to rotate "for good" in landscape - no more annoying bugs and unattended rotations back to portrait.
If i rotate the phone to landscape and set the key value to 1 in registry WITHOUT sliding out the keyboard, the phone STAYS in landscape, even if it is rotated back to portrait, no matter what application is opened (in fact the phone thinks the keyboard is out and disables the G-sensor).
So, my request is for an app (exe to be assigned to long press send key) that triggers first a rotation to landscape and then changes the key in registry to 1, if the phone is in portrait; if the phone is in landscape, the app should modify the key to 0 and rotate the screen in portrait.
Is it possible to do it? How difficult it would be?
Sorry for the long post and the "non-technical" language.
Many thanks,
Radu
Solution is simple - MortScript
Dear all,
A friend has gave me the simplest possible solution: Mort Script.
For the ones that need it, here it is:
screenrotation = RegRead("HKLM", "\System\GDI\Rotation", "Angle")
if (screenrotation = 0)
Rotate (270)
RegWriteDWord("HKLM", "System\CurrentControlSet\Keypad", "IsSlideOut", 1 )
elseif (screenrotation = 270)
Rotate (0)
RegWriteDWord("HKLM", "System\CurrentControlSet\Keypad", "IsSlideOut", 0 )
else
Message ("Not a standard rotation!")
endif
Be sure to have the following value in registry before using the script:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\HTCSensor\GSensor]
"KBDSlideOut_To_Stop_GSensor"=dword:00000001
Dear moderators, please close this thread, as I don't know how to do it.
Regards,
Radu

Hi,
Thanks for info, but I have done it since the beginning. It's working very well, but there are some bugs, like the dialer program: if in landscape I press the Send key, I have a 1 sec delay before the screen autorotates to portrait and than the dialer shows in portrait.
The only solution suitable for my needs seems so far the MortScript.
Radu
It's totally awesome.
Great hack man.
Finally my problem was solved.
It's the only perfect and complete solution 4 rotating TP2 screen.
I had a post asking 4 solution like that but no one answered me.
Moderators should make it STICKY and should be added to the TP2 hack section
Thanks.
Glad I could help

I'm glad I could help. If you use autolock (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=505032) you can use the attached script (original one updated) to disable the autolock while in landscape. I use autolock for suspend, incall and outcall when connected - if you use other features you have to modify the keys accordingly.

I have a question: I have a Tilt 2 and I'm looking to just beable to rotate any screen as I please...how in the world do I play/edit with Mort Script?
I'm very new to this phone and HTC in general.
Also...when I install a .CAB file. I've downloaded a few and stored them on my Memory (Scan Disc) to help conserve memory on my phone. Once it's saved on my memory disc I then loaded the program and POOF...it's done.
Is that the right way to install a .CAB file? I'm kind of lost and I hope I didn't mess anything up.
Thanks,

Everything about MortScript can be found here: http://www.sto-helit.de/index.php?module=page&entry=ms_overview&action=view
The "Scripts" are text files (can be edited with any text editor on PC or phone) saved with .mscr extension. Install the CAB from the link above, put the script on device and double click on it in a file explorer.

It's recommended to keep the .CABs on SD card, in case you hard reset the device they are handy to be reinstalled. I personaly prefer to install the programs in main memory instead of SD card.

Thanks...I was alittle concerned about where I was saving the .CAB files. I appreciate you getting back to me.
I guess I was doing it right.
I believe there is a .CAB file somewhere on this website to make phone be able to switch between landscape and port...regardless of what menu or screen your looking at.
As of right now...I'm simply looking for a way to remove some of the programs that came installed on this phone. When the phone is on IDLE...it's still using about 70% of it's memory. It's killing me and I need to remove a ton of random programs (However, I do not want to flash my rom)...
Thanks again!

Hi,
Memory usage is affected by running programs not neccessary by installed programs - if you don't use an application and that application doesn't have any process resident in memory, it doesn't affect the amount of free RAM.
Try this to minimaze RAM usage: http://translate.googleusercontent....le.com&usg=ALkJrhgxbK5uth-OsSBjHj7d-TAJphQmUg

My Tilt2 used to run +75%. From what I read, some programs take up memory even after being closed out. I did some more searching and installed the Dynamic Resource Proxy and No Push Internet cabs from here. Now I run in the 50-60% range.

After realizing this .cab would do it's job automatically (I thought I had to set the programs that wanted to rotate), I was wondering if there's anyway to auto-rotate the Titanium U/I with this?
Hello all. I have always wondered why i was not able to rotate the screeen more for apps other than opera. Why did i need to slide open the keyboard to get landscape mode? Well in searching i found this app in T-mobile touch pro 2 forum. the discovery was made by McBrian. Unfortunately i am not too sure who wrote the app. For this i apologize. I have used xda extensively and thought that this would be a good little app to post...to give back to the community. so here it is....Once u install the the cab, go to Programs and start the application and change the default settings to suit ur preference. I take no responsibilty for what happens to ur phone
there are several apps that do that, and can be found here on xda with some searching. Thanks for the link
Turns out ChangeScreen is the perferred program...

If you want to uninstall it, all you have to do is go to Start>Settings>System>Remove Programs and select Changescreen before pressing "Remove".
Dave your the freakin man!!!
I swear your everywhere!!!
Anyway, I just downloaded the program and I was having a little trouble with excluding and including stuff...
I have no idea what's going on, but I think I got it to work. It's pretty slow though...
Can you post what you have on each tab checked and unchecked. I promise this will be the last you hear from me!!!
Thanks again,
LOL don't worry about it, I'm happy to help
On the 1st tab I have Enabled, Run on Startup, and the first two directions in the next row checked. On the second tab, I deleted "manila" from the list and nothing is checked. On the third tab, nothing is checked.
As for the slowness, however, there's no way I know to speed it up. It's a shame, as it does take quite a while to rotate.
Ahh...that's the problem...
I remember reading something you wrote that said exclude Manila...but I couldn't find it.
On the second tab (Exceptions), I have nothing there.
I simply have a bottom at the top that says "ADD". If I click add, it brings a blank slate and I can type stuff on there...it's weird.
Thanks again,
so whats the difference between this cab, abd the g sensor cab that once installed allows all of the manila TF3D stuff to rotate using the phones g sensor,then any new app you add just use g sensor app to make them rotate,theres no lagg with either of these
Even for my AT&T Tilt 2?

g config works with any pro 2 you jus st launch it then launch the app you want to rotate then insert the stylus and it adds that app to the ratation settings,
as for the g sensor cab im not ure give it a try, if it works then calender etc and everything else on TF3d should rotate without having to open the keyboard , if it doesnot work just remove the cab file

I'm not too savy with HTC's...
Thanks,
from what i understand, and correct me if im wrong, but these programs will make ur battery drain significantly...the reason being is bc it "pools" the accelerometer alot more often than normal...again, correct me if im wrong but i believe this is true
