1. Looking at buttons in Settings, the list is simply empty, no buttons to assign. Am I doing something wrong?
2. Also, I can't find an option to make the X button actually close an app, instead of minimizing it. Again, am I doing something wrong?
3. I noticed that on first startup Windows doesn't ask you to align the screen. Yet the option is there. But how do you accurately align the screen with fingers? I find the screen very unresponsive in the top left and right corner. Also, while typing I have to aim somewhat above the key I mean to hit. Is this a question of getting used to, or has it to do with bad alignment?
4. Where's the autorotation? Is there a way to tell the device which apps to autorotate and which not? For now, hardly anything rotates of its own accord. And since I can't assign rotation to a button it might as well go without a G-sensor.

With point 3, you'll get some debate about this with various people. I think there should be an alignment as everyone presses the screen at different angles and its not going to know that unless you align it.
HTC Hero had same problem, screen edges were unresponsive, until you did a calibrate of the keyboard and then it was perfect.
It is an option missing...!
ad 1: if you make shortcut of any program you want to run, rename it to long_send.lnk and copy to C:\windows, then long press left button and this program will be executed. (I downloaded from XDA rotate.exe to rotate screen)
ad 2: install Duttys HTC task manager, restart and X is back (also in settings yo can configure its function)
ad 4: there is a possibility to "unlock" rotation in registry, but as long as you can not see any buttons in buttons setting it's pointless... that's why I used point 1 solution

Still, that gives me just one long press button to assign. There are at least three buttons that could be used for different apps. I just don't understand what HTC were thinking. Why have 5 buttons on a device and disabling the assign option?

I know it's still there, but I wonder how you can properly align a screen with finger presses as opposed to the pinpoint accuracy of a stylus.
Before this I had the Omnia 2 with the same lack of autorotation options (actually, I'd hoped that returning to HTC would have solved that, but no...). Some clever developer had whipped up a very nice program called RotationDetection, with which you could decide which apps should autorotate. Something like that should be made for the HD2!

I tried this, and for some reason I can't get it to work. Here's what I did:
Downloaded rotate.exe to my storage card.
Created a shortcut to rotate.exe, also on the storage card, and renamed it long_send.lnk
Copied this shortcut and pasted it in the Windows directory on the phone.
Now, if I select long_send.lnk in the Windows directory, the screen does indeed rotate. But I can't get the screen to rotate by holding the send key down.
I have already soft-reset, and this does not solve the problem.
Any ideas?

Did you use THIS Rotate Screen with the shortcut link?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=347705
You will need to install Rotate Screen.cab (or Rotate Screen CW.cab) 1st
The Rotate Screen CW.cab is for counterclockwise rotation.
For me it's working great. When I hold the "call" button for some time the screen rotates.
did anyone install AEbuttons on the HD2
it works wonderfully on X1, HD1, diamond 2. it can assign 4 programs or functions to each button and that includes the volume buttons

Okay, so I used that rotate screen cab, installed it, found the shortcut it created in windows/start menu/programs and copied it. Then, I pasted a shortcut to it in the windows directory, and renamed that shortcut long_send.lnk. Then restarted.
Still doesn't work. When i run the shortcut directly in the windows directory, the screen rotates. When I run the 'Rotate' shortcut from the Start menu, the screen rotates. When I long press the send button, the screen does not rotate. Am I missing a step?
Not sure what you call the "send" button.
It's the most left button on the bottom that you need to press for about 3 to 4 seconds.
One more thing..
The "long_send.lnk" should be in the Windows directory.

Yes, the button on the bottom left - the one that if you press and release takes you to the phone screen. At any rate, I can't get it to work the way that has been described. Any suggestions?

Okay, I FINALLY figured it out, and I'll post what happened just in case anyone else runs into the same issue.
I followed the instructions as posted and changed the name of the shortcut to Long_Send.lnk and put it in the Windows directory. However, apparently when you use the Rename function, it just allows you to rename the file and not the extension. It doesn't indicate this anywhere, so I thought I was renaming both the file name and the extension. So, when I renamed to Long_Send.lnk, what I must have in reality been doing was renaming it to Long_Send.lnk.lnk - and therefore it didn't work.
Once it dawned on me that this might be the case, I renamed the shortcut again, this time without adding the extension at the end (Long_Send), and voila - it worked.
Never had to rename a file in WinMo before, so I was unaware that the Rename function only renames the file name, and not the file extension.
FYI, you can remap most (if not all) hardware buttons with the .lnk hack. Here's more information on how to do it.
Unlike programs like AEButton Plus, it will only allow you to assign short and long keypresses (no double- and triple-presses), but won't consume any system resources, won't be draining your battery, won't conflict with any other software that uses keyboard hooks.
Use it with caution though.
I missed it - does aebutton work? How about the utility like this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=256525
I could have sworn I saw one specifically for HTC phones to remap the volume. It was something like vol up = dpad up, hold up for dpad left...etc.
I never use the volume controls on my current phone (Advantage 7501), and I'm expecting to be able to use vol up/down as dpad up/down for scrolling list and most importantly next page in reading a book!

I'm probably missing something obvious but on my XDA Mini S I don't appear to be able to press the "start" button on the today screen via a hard button (used to be centre button on my old XDAIIs) without having to get the stylus out.
I'm sure we're both missing something, 'cus I concur.
However, if you find yourself desperate you can install my program VJKeypress (on my website) and use the command line 91 to pop the start menu. Make a shortcut and assign it to a hardware key.

I still bind the memo/speech button on the right to the OK/Close button at the top right button. Found it easier to use when typing the the keyboard or in normal mode.
All well least it wasn't me being dim! thanks for all the suggestions but just don't have a spare button to remap.
You'd think that they would have bound the Today screen "Start" function to a press of the directional button as it doesn't do anything else when on the today screen(as it was on the Blue Angel), but maybe that's just too logical!
assigning START menu to a button doesn't work when u have tomtom running. The menu pops up and just disappears again. It works in most of other apps though.
Got it!!!!
Just discovered that holding down the left soft key for about 1 second(rather than just tapping it to open calendar) opens the Start menu.

Tried it here on my 2.24 ROM and it does not work. I press and hold for a second, also tried other varying lengths of time, and sure enough I always get the app the left soft button has been assigned.
Bizarre, works fine on mine - 2.21.4.1 Rom, 2.07 Radio UK XDA Mini S
Only apps I have installed are SPBBackup, Resco Explorer trial (expired) and TT5
Maybe a feature of the O2 UK Ext Rom?!?
Hey all you guys at XDA Developers! There's an awful lot of you that have created some awsome apps! I have usued alots of them, and really enjoyed them. I was hoping that someone would want to take on this project. I'm hoping someone could create an app to have a dual purpose button to take the place of the start button icon in to top left corner. I'd like to be able to push the button once to put the device into sleep mode. The second would be to hold the button down for a second or so for soft reset. I thought on the soft reset a small screen could pop up saying "Do you want to soft reset yes or no?" Also, the button could have a couple of color choices to go with peoples themes. Like "sunny127" made the ariel battery to replace that symbol and not the complete start menu. It would also be nice if both options were on all screens. So if your listening to radio or playing music, you could turn the screen off or if the screen freezes on you, you can soft reset. This is somewhat similar to http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-pocket-device-power-manager-v1-0.html this app. But it does not always go with everyones themes. And really not quite in the right place. Thanks for looking. I hope some one might be up for the task. Thanks for all that you guys have done. T M Z.
No one Maybe
I will pay? Some one to make this app. for me please...
bump...bump...
Not a bad idea, personally what I'd like to see the most would be the restart functionality added to the power button.
Now if you're talking about a button on the screen which can put the system to sleep or implement a restart well, I'm not interested. I've got enough taking up my screen real estate. I do believe I've seen a small app for the sleep side of it though... might google it.
Thanks for the input.
No one at all.

You can use the new FTouchFlo, it enables "corner" buttons. When tapped you can launch a program or do a system command, such as rotate screen, turn off, or whatever you want.

It's now called FTouchSL, it's not free, but it's totally worth it. You can also open apps (or do a command) with a simple swipe. Not to mention you can add smooth finger scrolling to any app with the flick-and-scroll feat.

get the softreset executable from the PHM tools package (search), place it win \windows and assign it to the PTT key as hold. I prefer to use this for a sleep function, such as when listening to mediaplayer.

Has anyone been able to assign close to a hardware button in WM6? I don't mean the <OK/Close> option in the Buttons settings, as that only minimizes the program. I know that HTC X-Button and other task managers can do it by using the stylus or finger, but I'm trying to simplify it.
Any ideas/suggestions?
Decompress and copy the program and .ini to your programs folder and run. When held down, the right softkey will close most any program. Holding down the left softkey will activate the start menu and the volume switch will scroll.

Hey Guys,
so while playing around with the diamond config utility, i've noticed theres a registry option to enable "manual screen rotation'
Now, since the gsen app currently doesn't work with the Telus ROM, i would imagine that this registry key would allow you to switch the screen manually.
Is there any button i have to press to manually rotate the screen?
If i am completely mistaken about this option, is there another solution besides the gsen app?
I don't mind pressing a hotkey button to manual rotate for the time being until gsen fixes the app to work with telus as well.
Any ideas? Thanks a million!!!!
I have noticed this tweak about as well and have never understood what exactly does it mean. .......
yeh exactly...
i can understand gsen would allow you to rotate automaticaly, but until they fix it, i wouldn't mind doing it manually for temporary purposes.
i would really love to text in landscape mode!
There has to be a way to assign a key to rotate the screen.
Workaround - Quick Menu!

Install an application called "Quick Menu" -- it's a Start Menu replacement that I've used for a while. Referenced in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=340358
You can do four things with H-V toggle:
1. Find it in the Quick Menu menu
2. Set Quick Menu so that holding the Windows icon for a second or two will do an H-V switch (great for apps that aren't fullscreen - i.e. blocking the start menu)
3. Create a shortcut to the H-V switch within Quick Menu, and assign that to the press-and-hold button. Great for fullscreen apps like TomTom!
4. If you use Voice Command software (ex. Microsoft's), you can launch the H-V shortcut that way. For example, "Open Rotate" launches the H-V icon which I've renamed "Rotate".
All these make more sense once you get to know Quick Menu.
great.. thanks for the recommendation but now my phone is messed
first off, it wouldn't stay landscape, it would just resort back to portrait, and now when i closed the program, and rebooted, i don't have my task bar in the top right nemore. it disappeared and i cannot get it back

ok this is cool... i got the manual rotation working by holding the windows key.... this is amazing Thank you sooo much!!!
although one qwerk... I find that i cannot use the menu at all. I've pretty much set it to quick turn to landscape... i click slightly to the right to use my regular start menu. reason being is because if i use it, it removes my task mgr in the top right of my screen and then i have to go and enable it manually within my settings.
So im pretty much just using it for holding the windows logo to change my orientation. other than that it's great!!!!
thanks a million man i appreciate it!
Alternatively if you do not want to use additional software like QuickMenu. this method works well...
1) Change your registry to enable screen rotation:
HKLM - System - GDI - Rotation - HideOrientationUI (Change from 1 to 0)
2) Then, simply map your phone button long press to the rotation tweak:
Settings -> Buttons -> Map with <Rotate Screen>
3) When you would like to rotate your screen, just hold your Phone button.

I've done a similar thing but without changing the registry. If you look under screen in advanced config there's the option to have landscape. If you then go into start - settings - system - screen the option to have portrait or landscape is there. you can then go start - personal - buttons and map your screen rotation to whatever key you want.
Here is a cab to enable the rotation if you are not familiar with the registry.

Your changing the registry with advanced config aren't you? Either way works no doubt. More than one way to skin a cat.
A Little application - Trotate
I wrote a little program which will rotate screen following a Finger Swipe.
Originally written for Touch(Elf) program appear to work OK on Diamond.
I have found that when selecting Home Screen that the Diamond will return to normal Screen orientation after a brief pause, or you can return to original orientation by re-running application.
Enjoy....
The best program that I have found for rotating the screen to landscape and back is WkTask, it does heaps more as well but for rotating, it is so easy, you just put the stylus on the close button and slide down and the screen will rotate and repeat and it rotates back to portrait.

I would like to know this too. Also I am using ThrottleLock which is rotating too. This makes it difficult to unlock. I am using Gyrator. Who has a solution?
Found this on another forum chaps ,

2. Click Menu in bottom right hand corner
3. Click Options
4. Click Events
5. Add Event to main screen by pressing and holding
6. Press and hold on the new Event and select Edit Event
7. (Make sure your stylus is out of the phone)
8. Double click on "Learn Window Title"
9. Push the talk button to launch the phone application
10. Put the stylus in the phone
11. Pull the stylis back out of the phone
12. The Gyrator program will pop back up
13. Click Apply
14. push and hold on "Phone" (the new event you just created) and select Orientation
15. You may have to promote this rule to the top of the list.
16. Click Apply
17. The phone application should not rotate now.
Thanx for ya advice. I tested it out immediately and can confirm that it works. Now the Gsensor makes me less dizzy.

Solved one problem but I've noticed that something is still annoying! I attached the photo. The problem is that phone app won't rotate but that's not so for upper and lower status bar. Anyone who can help me fix it with gyrator?
me too. i dont know how to configure an app that rotates or NOT to ratate on Graytor. i didnt see a demonstration
I've managed to solve the problem. I added a new event in Gyrator 2 and put it into first position.
For focused app i've choosen Phone-Incomig, orientation Portrait and applied the whole rule. Also don't forget to select orientation for the rule. After this the screen won't rotate when receiving a call.
I cleared all gyrator pre-settings (espec the rotate all one)
and then made only rotation possible for the apps i want to rotate.
Can someone kindly guide me through? I am using the blackstone and try the above steps mentioned. but then phone application still rotate. Its kinda irritating...
I use this app as an alternative to Gyrator, which lets you select progs that you don't want to rotate. It's alot easier to setup than creating the Gyrator Events.
