The one thing that irks me the most about my Imagio is that the screen will only go to landscape for the camera, the VCAST TV, and the Internet Browsers. With anything else only portrait is available. I would really love to be able to make it go landscape for other programs. I have found a couple of free routines that will set the phone to do this but they won't work because the Net Framework on the phone is the wrong version (go figure an older version of Framework would be placed in the most up to date version of windows). Can anyone tell me what is the best routine that will allow me to toggle landscape mode at will on the Imagio?

or just download the new .net framework
Thank you so much. I'll try what was listed. Does anyone know why the latest .NET CF isn't installed in Win Mo 6.5? Why would Microsoft not have the latest in the latest OS?
I have 3.5 installed on mine and I'm using Gyrator 2 to rotate my screens around
Great plugin

Well I followed the instructions for editing the registry and changing the orientation for the TF3D screens works great. Now what about the other programs such as Word and Excel? Do I have to do all the same registry edits for those or only part of the edits? Thanks for all the help guys. I'm about to get the phone the way I like it.

Was 3.5 already installed on your device when you bought it or did you have to install it? How do I find out what version of .Net CF is install on the phone?
I don't know what version I had
I found by using gyrator and changescreen for screen rotation is buggy, slow, and sometimes pages seem to get scrambled. I don't need rotation in all apps that's why I installed g trigger, available here. I have it set up to jerk the phone from side to side and this toggles screen orientation. I also set it up to have the dialer come up when you flick the phone forward and to close programs when you flick it away. It really works great, no crashing. And there are no accidental orientation change. Not to mention it saves you the "phone" softkey and you don't have to try to hit the "X" in the corner anymore. Try it, it is a cab install, and removes completely if you don't like it.

Have any of you guys given this a go yet? http://www.pointui.com/
Its a major improvement over the Standard windows mobile home screen and gives an easier to use interface with your finger.
No ROM cooking involved just install over the top of windows mobile 5 or 6. Its kinda like an improved today screen.
I downloaded it today and I have to say its made me alot happier using the phone without a stylus.
It has just been released and is free to use on any windows mobile device.
Take a look...

But it doesn't support VGA devices?? - Mike
Shame it doesnt support true vga 96 dpi......however its really nice looking and i like imput/design ui a lot, wallpaper and color scheme should be user defined.
it does work in 96dpi, kind of, I think we need to resize one or two of the backgrounds to make it work well.
not gone through the jif files yet, I'm presuming it'll be one of those.
they got a fix for that now, a temporary one on their website
Hi,
I have installed this application but I didn't really like it the way I was expecting it to perform. The problem is, I can't get rid of it now. I have removed the program from remove program but it still shows the 'Home' option on the task bar.
Can anyone help me to remove this program?
Regards

Hi
I am usining it on 128 and 96 dpi
Works fine but when putting in pin for fone the buttons have all tobe touched to see them and then use clear and then enter the pin as u can now see the buutons ???
Any way to fix this ???
good stuff, i like it here ,works good with my HTC PPC 6800
I think once finalized, this could indeed be a killer application for the Athena as it encompasses all areas usually only accessible through the native WM O/S, but in a much more stylish and finger touch pleasing way.
Hi,
I was wondering if any one has tried using a palm emulator on their Shift and if so which program. I tried running a program called styleTap on the Win Mobile side but o luck and the program just freezes up when opened. I am looking to run programs from a treo 680 which is one of the latest Palm software if I am not mistaken. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
It's possible
StyleTab (shareware) works on the Shift!
To get it working you need QuickMenu (free) once.
Install QuickMenu
Install StyleTab and YOU CAN'T REACH OK on the nag screen!
Open QuickMenu and turn screen right.
The StyleTab screen is completely displayed.
Goto Optons-display size and choose original.
Restart StyleMenu
Turn screen back to narmal orientation
(Delete QuickMenu)
Install all your palm apps but hacks.
Enjoy your original size IIIc on this big screen.
Start paying after 14 days...
re
Thanks man I am going to try this and post comments.
Turn screen BEFORE installing StyleTab or the WM side freezes...
But after a restart from Vista side you can still turn the page and start StyleTab again.
I like it as most programs work (NO hacks, NO DA files)
re
I tried this and now I can see the OK button but for some reason I cannot click on it?? any thoughts? Also which version are you using?
I use the pocket pc version from http://www.styletap.com/downloads.php
The smartphone version uses keys only!
At the moment I'm reinventing my IIIc on the Shift...
re
Hi,
That is the one I am using, but not able to do anything, for some reason the alignment is off too. If i want to click register I need to click way higher than where the actual button is. What other software do you have installed? any help is appreciated.
Thanks

IIRC SPB PocketPlus does that [displays battery life in % terms on today scr.] may be worth a go.
Whilst I seem to recall reading somewhere on here that someone had tried that prog. on the HD successfully, I have to admit I've not personally tried that particular prog. to see if it works, so can't vouch for it (SPB MobileShell *doesn't* work properly, that much I do know, so I'm a little retiscent to buy any more SPB stuff until they up their game. I would email SPB for some clarity, but from prior experience that achieves a deafening silence...)

With TF3D running, no other today plug in can be run, unless you use an application called secondtoday. This allows you to have a second today screen and hence allows you to have all your standard today pluggins running along side TF3D. If you install secondtoday and then add Homescreen ++ within the second todat application. it will work. THis is the exact setup that i am currently using.

Thank you very much for the answers!
Well then I think I will go with this solution (secondtoday).
Any help how to install it? (order in which the programms have to be installed)
Thanks in advance!
Use gestures!
I am not certain that second today is prerequisite for SPB Mobile Shell 2, since this can be invoked by making use of gesture. By installing SPB and calling it with gesture, it should work just fine. I have not tried on HTC Touch, as I am awaiting mine, but did ty on other HTC models.

Appologies, i was answering the question raised in the first post. I have no experience with mobile shell.
Yes of course - the SPB shell/plus progs involve the ditching of the TF3D option (which in truth I'm not that keen on anyway as it never really worked/performed that well on my Diamond [clunky and clumsy] - although....it does run considerably better on the HD I have to confess)
I know you just said so, but just to clarify, on both my Cruise and Diamond SPB MobileShell ran perfectly well without the need for any further program support - for some reason it doesn't on the HD, no idea why though (you lose anything on a 'drop-down' menu/option - so you cannot customise beyond the default settings.
Think I'll look into the setup just mentioned (secondtoday + homescreen++) - Cheers!
Just tried to install the "secondtoday.cab" but as soon as I click on it it says that the installation has failed. Do you know whats wrong? Did I miss something?
I used the last version of it.

Hi Everyone,
I have had my Touch Pro 2 for about a week now and there is something that is bugging me.
Although I can install applications perfectly fine, java applications however can only be accessed by using JBlend.
I want to use Gmail but I need to use the keyboard when typing emails, and so each time the Gsensor notices a screen rotation the application must restart. This is definitely an annoyance.
Is it possible to install Java Applications that run in another type of Java enabled platform or even better off the Windows Mobile application list natively like normal phones.
I will try going into Gyrator 2 and setting up a new event for Gmail, but I don't think I will be able to find the jar extension.
Did u tried JBed before? Many cabs floating here.
No it's my first time using it. All the other phones I had used Java apps natively.
The version I'm using came with the EU ROM. Build v3.3.5, 20090316.2.1
I have this problem too. Using Jblend with my stock broking software.... whenever I close the keyboard... I will get error message: Screen rotation detected, please restart MIDLET. ARGGHHH......
Hopefully someone can come up with a solution for this.
Ha.... solve thanks to monx.
Jbed works well. Do a google search for Jbed Midlet Manager Build 20070802.2.1. Fonts are a bit smaller but it works fine and supports screen rotation on my stock software now.
Cheers!!!!
Since the device does not come with the utility, I've looking for a program who could switch the screen from landscape to the right 90ยบ, but every programs I find work bad.
The firs attempt was with rotate 1.1. But it doesn't work. I tried every ppc programs, and the only who worked was Nyditot. But the problem with this is that is neccesary to reset to aply the configuration and to apply to the hole system, and I only want it to play my old games and some other stuff, to rotate just the aplication.
Do you know any other program working on an ipaq 914?
You can use xTask - LINK - it's task manager, but it also does have rotate function.

I know, but it does not work on the Ipaq 914. In fact I don't know any program which works without reboot.
Does anyone know any kind of editing tool to set the startup of a program changing the orientation, or something like that?
Anything to make my old programs work should be welcome
Any news about this?
