auto rotate not working in apps and startmenu? - HD2 General
has anyone experienced this...?
autorotation works in some apps like: music and phototab, messaging, opera....
but like the start menu NOT! and also apps like Resco file explorer...
is this possible? to make rotation work in all apps???
Apps rotation
Good point
It should be.
There is a white list that lists which apps auto rotate.
Never used it, but I might need to for this one.

You might want to look at Gyrator.
You "just" have to add application entries in the registry. Their was a tool that do it for olders phones (Diamond2, etc.). G-Config was its name. The problem is the app using the "stylet entered" event.... That, obviously, cannot be used by our HD2... Maybe the author may change things to work with HD2
alright... i thought i have read it somewhere about the whitelist... but i just can't find it.
One of u knows the .exe for startmenu? to start with...
The sensor whitelist exists on registry keys HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\HTCSENSOR\GSensor\WhiteList for Window classes or HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\HTCSENSOR\GSensor\ModuleName for program names.
For instance, sensor can be enabled in the Start Menu (default/honeycomb one) and S2U2 with the following:
Code:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\HTCSENSOR\GSensor\WhiteList]
"Start"="MSSTARTMENU"
"S2U2"="S2U2"
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\HTCSENSOR\GSensor\ModuleName]
"S2U2"="\Program Files\S2U2\s2u2.exe"
Hopefully, Gyrator will work without stylus one day.

Gyrator works on HD2 as long as you know the Windows Class Names of apps. Some are given on the website of Gyrator.

He was referring to the fact that you used to be able to "teach" Gyrator a new class/window name by running the app in question and removing the stylus. This prompted Gyrator to get said info from the topmost application. Was a very nice feature. I don't know if there's any spy type applications for windows mobile, but you need one if you don't know this info.
Yes, that particular function was what I was referring to. As for finding out window class names, I'm using Dotfred's Task Manager, which has a tab showing window class names, although it involves looking in a long list instead of just pressing a button while in the window.
EDIT: Correcting my mistake quickly: Tap-holding a process name, tapping Details and choosing the Windows tab shows the windows opened by that particular process. Why I didn't find that out before is beyond me.
alright... tried a few things but no go
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\HTCSENSOR\GSensor\WhiteList]
Name: Start
String: MSSTARTMENU (Didn't find MSSTARTMENU in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai either.....
and tried
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\HTCSENSOR\GSensor\ModuleName]
Name: RescoExplorer
String: \Program Files\Resco Explorer\Explorer.exe
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\HTCSENSOR\GSensor\WhiteList]
Name: RescoExplorer
String: RescoExplorer
But still no go!!
I don't know if this is me just being stupid or just the program.
I have the navipanel activated on my HD2 and can access copilot etc in landscape.
however when I select the dial feature the phone app comes up but it is still in portrait mode.
I installed Gyrator and the phone app does now rotate whenever I turn the phone to landscape or portrait.
But when I call the phone app up while the phone is in landscape it still opens it in portrait.
What I would like to know is is there any way of calling the phone app up and for it to immediately appear in landscape format?
Would using the rotatescreen.exe file be more useful for me?
I hope that makes sense and appreciate any advice you may have.
Paul.

excellent! Thanks that works. Btw, what would be teh modulename and whitelist name for the messaging (SMS/MMS)? I'm assuming for the modulename is TMAIL? What about for whitelist name? THanks again
Works for me too!
Shame there is no nice rotating animation like in photo veiwer but at least it works!
Cheers!
I'm using Zensor2 for auto rotating. Works well for me.
this app is amazing, thanks for the tip!!!
only thing I'm still wondering is how to disable the auto-rotation for the WM6.5 lock screen. I've been googling to find out the window class name but have been unable to find it, and I cant run dotfred task manager once the device is locked- anybody else that might know how to prevent the lock screen from rotating??
thanks a lot in advance!
I upgraded to the HD2 this week from a Tytn 2 and use my phone in my car usually for the sat nav and have the phone set sideways in the holder to give me widescreen.
However, whenever I needed to use the phone on the HD2 the dialer screen would always appear in portrait and so I have had to learn to dial with my head tilted to the side!!!
After posting about my problems with getting the phone app to rotate I did a bit of detective work and think I have fixedd it.
I added the following registry key to whitelist in the GSensor bit of the registry.
Name Data
Phone \Windows\cprog.exe
After a restart voila, the phone dialer will now open up in landscape.
I hope this is helpful to others who want to use the phone in landscape.

How well does zensor2 work here, and does it autostart with the phone? It is possible to set up exceptions in zensor2?
hi, nice to see that im not the only one expirience problems with it. i switch back to use 'changescreen' app to turn the screen. i used it bevore on athena and it has some real nice options.
its working well on hd2 so i keep it.

I have done this, and it works great... except for when opening the phone app whilst in the Navi Panel.
When the Navi Panel is in Portrait, and you access the phone, it starts in Portrait, but allows you to rotate to landscape. However, when you use Navi Panel in landscape, and access the phone, the phone screen opens in Portrait and does not rotate! I'm sure there is a logical reason, but i'm afraid i'm not that clever...

How to exclude applications from Gyrator2 (example: "in a call")
Hi there, i tried to exclude some applications in Gyrator 2 menus but i do'nt know how to exclude rotation, when i'm in a call ( to end the call for example, the auto rotation makes the "endcall" button changing place and it's hard to end my call or when i'm listening to messages and want to delete one , the keypad changes orientation ....) for all others apllications like photos albums, or today screen or other ..it is fine, i set everything with success. Another question, in the input settings, i laways have by default the Compact Qwerty for the portrait mode and this is like this since i have installed Gyrator, and when i change the settings in the input menu for the Full Qwerty, it did nothing, it is always the Compact one that appears, ( when in landscape mode, the full qwerty is ok) ....
Events in the menu ....mine (I must admit I found someone elses & used it) has an even for incoming call. I'll dig out the file & post it Disable (Opera),Opera_MainWndClass,1,0,0, Disable (Manila),Manila,1,1,0, Disable (Teeter),TEETER,1,0,0, Disable (YouTube),HTCYOUTUBE,1,0,0, Disable (Album),HTCAlbumClass,1,0,0, Disable (Camera),IACSP20_Main,1,0,0, Keypad,Phone ,1,1,1, Incoming Call,Phone - Incoming,1,1,1, Rotate,*,1,63,1,
...thanks , i already added an event for incoming call but it doesn't work when you are IN CALL , just worked before you take the call ..... that's my issue ....
I'm using S2P on my HD but is is buggy in combination with gyrator2 how can i disable S2P like opera etc. thx

how do i tell gyrator not to rotate when a picture is viewed? right now it is spinning around which is very annoying. when i tap on a picture in the pics tab the picture opens and often rotates twice so it is top at bottom
promexx said: how do i tell gyrator not to rotate when a picture is viewed? Click to expand... Click to collapse Add an event call Disable (Album), click Album in application tab and tick portrait in orientation tab. On the event list make sure the even is set to orientation (has a 1 to the right of it) and apply. Works great for me.
i tried that but it doesnt work. gyrator doesnt seem to recognize the album application. it turns the picture one time too often for 90 degrees i tried to choose the album application in the list which is calles "htcalbum class" and also the manual recognition. neither of that did work.
If you can, copy and paste here your event.ini from the Gryrator2 folder so I can see the settings your using.

I was wondering how to only use the gyrator on 1 specific program that isn't listed? I wanted to use it with Garmin. It works when I had it rotating everything, but it just seems to lag the phone and cause me to miss calls and what not, so I deleted all the events and when I try to go add another for Garmin, I don't see it on the list? Why is that? And is anyone experiencing a more phone lag with the gyrator running or is it just me? Should I do a format to clear up any cluster I might have from previous uninstalls and reinstalls of programs?
Yes....I would like to know how to set the phone dial pad to NOT rotate also. Not too sure what all these 1's and 0's mean...as when you go through the settings it has specific descriptions rather than numbers to pick from....
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.

Hi, what does it do exactly. does it scroll or just rotate the page?

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
Landscape in Diamond 2?

Click to collapse 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.
Force Landscape for TomTom 7?

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.

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
Navigon Mobile Navigator 7 on HD2 in Landscape mode
Hi, I recently purchased MN7 v7.3.10 from 1800pocketpc.com. It will not run in landscape mode. If I do the bsb tweak for screen rotation it will rotate the program but it cuts the bottom half of the screen off and leaves a big black area to the right of the program screen. Is there any way to fix this to run in landscape mode? A reg edit or change the ini file or something? I looked at the forums but didn't see the answer to my questions. I looked at the thread about the HD1 and navigon but didn't see a definative fix...... any help would be GREATLY appreciated. This is beyond frustrating me. I'm going on a long road trip over easter and would LOVE to have this fixed. Thanks

you need to be in landscape BEFORE you start Navigon! I ran the latest PDA trial for a month and it was quite nice - as I did not want to enable manila rotation I set the win startmenu to rotate (bsb) went to start -> rotaded to landscape -> started Navigon -> perfect (until someone calls)

Unfortunately this option seems not to be there in my current version of MN7 (7.3.9) that came with my T-Mobile germany rom. I guess thats either because Navigon removed that option in 7.3.9 (but why should they?) or because it is just not supported on the HD2 (like the navigating to adresses from the adress-book).
