Need help for Gsen!!!

Hey guys,
I just got my HD and have really no clue how to get the gsen to work so i can write sms and emails in landscape. Also I would like a few other applications to be in landscape too.
Can anyone help me??? It would be greatly appreciated.

Can someone please help me? or give me website that gives instructions? I really need help for this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

gsen should by default enable landscape for almost any app (with some exceptions like tf3d and so on). after installed you should run gsen manually and then notice if the screen rotation is working. then if you like etc you can run gsen cfg and set it to autostart via left soft key.

Is it the best software for the HD to use for auto-rotation? Also how do i install it on the phone? thats my main problem. It seems to have come already pre-installed but cant figure out how to work it....

simply download the cab trasfer to phone and tap on it from the phone

Pre-installed?..... GSen doesn't come pre-installed.
Where did you get it from?

He's probably just talking about the original rotator that excludes most everything, aside from the media/internet based programs.

Works??
Hi again.
I installed the prog right now, started and open the settings. Screw the phone -< works fine. close settings, open programs, tur the phone again -> nothing happens. Like in nearly) every other program. Opening the settings again, nothing happens too.
So i turned the GSEN off an on again sometime, settings work but nothing else.
WHAT'S THE PROBLEM???
Thx for reply

Did you read the readme.txt file that came with gsen?
Works fine on my HD
Here is a part of the file:
1. Description
Auto-rotate screen on SOME devices with g-sensor.
Install GSen and run it.
If you run it again, program will ask you "Unload program?".
If you answer yes - program will be unloaded.
This also possible without question with parameter #unload.
You can use configuration shortcut for edit configuration file.
This file can include this command:
#window(text or class name) - add window description
#timeout(value) - default value 1000 ms
#onlyfor(0|1) - if 0 auto rotate work for all programm except defined by #window, otherwise ONLY for this program.
By default program not rotate screen if Manila or Teeter is foreground application, but you can edit this list.
#fdscreenoff(0|1|2) - if 1, program will switch off screen if you put device with screen on bottom, if 2 device will suspend.
#lockscreen(0|1) - if not present = 1, can prevent, if enabled, rotation with locked device
#poweroff180(0|1) - if not present = 0, determine interpretation of rotation to 180, 0 - rotate screen, 1 - power off.
GSen can indicate self state,
you can setup it with this commands:
#show(0|1) - if 1 GSen will show one pixel (by default) indicator on top bar.
#x(X),
#y(Y) coordinates of this indicator, default X=240,Y=1
#clr(R,G,B) - color, default white (255,255,255)
you also can setup width and height (#width(W), #height(H))
Commandline parameters:
#load - load app, if loaded already - exit without questions
#unload - unload app
#toggle - if loaded will unload, otherwise will load, usable with one shortcut
#about - show about window
if you start without parameters - program will ask "Unload?" if already exist one instance, or simple run if not exist.
NOTE: some programs, like Teeter game, cannot start in landscape mode, so switch to standard display orientation before.
Cheers

Yep
... I did.
First time I installed it I changed someting in the configfile as advised. But it doesn't work so in uninstalled and reinstalled it. Then started the prog.
SOMETIMES the picture turnes but not everytime.
I've got a HTC Touch Diamond :-o Shouldn't be the problem i guess...

Okay...
I just changed timeout to 5 and it works just fine on HTC touch HD
Guess it shoudn't be a problem on Diamond.

What is the Contacts program name?
In the GSen Configuration file, I want to be able to tell the program to leave the Contacts screen alone (to not rotate). The only problem I have is that I don't know the actual program name for Contacts, and where is it located?
Thanks,
Peter

Got it ...
I figured it out. When I entered the following command into the GSen configuration file:
#windows(Contacts)
It didn't work because I didn't first save it. Now that I've entered it again, and then saved the file, it works.
Peter

Is there any way to set it to rotate the Today screen? I'm using the default config and all programs rotate apart from Today.

Rotate screen possible without slideout ?

Hello everyone,
i've been trying several roms since few days.. and love them all
appreciate all the work you guys do, but i have this one little thing that i wish i had.
Why do i need to use the keyboard to go to landscape? is there no other option?
(i cant seem to find it..)
So i would like my screen to always rotate in every app when i rotate the phone.. (g-sensor rotate is on, but hardly ever works auto) OR have a key or app that i can use that overrules the sensor and just let me choose landscape mode.
Because the auto rotate doesnt seem to do that for most programs untill you slide the keyboard out. but i dont need my keyboard...
examples: i like tomtom in landscape, but not with the keyboard slide out!
(that way it wont fit in my carkit..)
and i want to be able to rotate a movie or tekst message whenever i want to..
etc etc.. (with the g-sensor OR some key or APP or something else)
or is the answer: its impossible? can hardly believe that, because it seems so easy to do.
thanks for any help

Search for ChangeScreen or G-Config.
Or set Send Key to rotate manually:
HKLM/System/GDI/Rotation change the "HideOrientationUI" from 1 to 0
Now you van remap the Send Key to do this on long press. [FONT=&quot][/FONT]

use this cab to rotate TF3d with out the keyboard
than use the g config app to add other programs to the rotate list, once you add the cab or any program using g config you have to soft reset for them to work
edit i have tom tom and adding it to g config app work great in landscape

very very nice
works like a charm with not much lag.
thank you.

just to let you know what i found as my final solution (for now) after lots of trying different roms:
i read somewhere here, (cant find it anymore) about setting the hardware "back" key to rotate screen on double click...
so no auto rotating anymore, only when i want to, with this tool:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=554240
Together with the ROM:
Phoenix 2 Sense 2.1 EnergyROM_28011_RHODIUM_07.Dec.2009_Standard.rar
it all works like a charm.. manila rotates very quick and everything else.
rom has start button on bottom and standard 4 columns in programs, nice agenda in landscape, yes i like this one
coreplayer works good.. no accidental rotates etc
i can just lay in bed and watch my favorite movie without troubles.
tomtom in widescreen in my car etc etc
thank you all for this superb forum

Try these Registry Settings
1. HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila -> add a new String Value with the name "EnableLandscape" and the value "true" (both without "")
2. HKCU\Software\HTC\HTCSENSOR\GSensor\ModuleName -> add a new String Value with the name "TF3D" and the value "\Windows\manila.exe" (both without "")
3. HKCU\Software\HTC\HTCSENSOR\GSensor\WhiteList -> add a new String Value: Name: "TF3D Value: "Manila" (both without "")
4. Change HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila DisableRotation value to 0 from 1.
5. Softreset

Search for flip_IT, found it in topaz forum, burried somewhere. It works awesome with WM6.5.x builds.

i used this clever little addin and made a shortcut in start menu n quicklaunch panel enjoy !
but as i found some programs will no look right when used in landscape mode.

how disable rotate in htc messaging

how disable rotate in htc messaging

I haven't tried, but I should think delete (or exclude) the values
"MessageClient"
and
"MessageEnhancement"
from both
\HKCU\Software\HTC\HTCSENSOR\GSensor\ModuleName
and
\HKCU\Software\HTC\HTCSENSOR\GSensor\WhiteList
in the registry
not sure about the "tmail" and "Composer" values, but just backup the registry keys and experiment..

not work
deleted but not work

Did you restart your device? System-wide registry changes need a restart so Windows re-reads the registry.

yes restarted but not work

work but not work in new massage

did you also try to remove the "tmail" value and/or the "Compose" value..?
what's the use of it anyway? are you typing messages on a rollercoaster? or at sea?

I'm having very slow rotation response in sms messaging client? It take about 8 to 10 seconds for the screen to change if you rotate it. Rotation is fast on all other applications. Also this happens whether there is only one sms or many. I tried to disable the rotation even but even if I remove all the entries for the gsensor rotation it still rotates. I checked the gsensor folder in the registry to make sure there is nothing left in any gsensor folders. Any ideas why it rotates so slow or how to disable it?

here's how I did it:
install Touch tools. in it's rotation manager delete any entry that has anything related to messaging.
now open the registry and search for "rotat" (yes, no "e") you'll get plenty of results, some of them are in subfolders related to messaging. change all values to 0
as I recall, this has disabled rotation for everything but the new message window (I hard reset my phone lately and rotation works fine so I won't try it again) so basically, you can open a contact and choose new text message and it won't rotate, but if you open the messaging app and choose new, it will rotate.

you could always just turn auto rotate off

how to disable auto rotate?

I have duttys v1.8 installed and I cant find a place to disable auto rotate.
I installed bsb tweaks and hd2tweak and none of them are capable of stopping the auto rotation.
Its really frustrating because every time I'm in messages and I move the phone just a little bit, the screen rotates and everything gets slowed down.

Try this
HKCU/Software/HTC/HTCSENSOR/GSensor/
Change Autorotation to 0 (zero)
It stops rotation for everything except for the usual (opera, Photos, music).. hmmm i think it still rotates the Messaging..
Try another thing
HKCU/Software/HTC/HTCSENSOR .. go thru the white list and the module name list and delete messaging file...
Do take a back up of the files you delete.
Cheers!

I tried both and they did not work.
anyone have any ideas how to disable it?

Maybe use Gyrator and add Manilla to the exlusion list?
Downgrade Manilla?
Or use another ROM, which fits your requirements

BsB for sure works on stock ROM. So maybe this ROM uses some different rotating software ?

Disable auto rotate in HD 2
Anyone know how?
Messages and email constantly rotate when reading lying down. Very annoying. BsB tweaks doesn't work. The other suggestions in this thread don't work.
There aree some great tweaks in these forums but no one seems to have a tweak that works for disabling auto rotate?
Please help

Use registry editor to delete whatever u want inside this folder to disable effect of gsensor on it
Remember to backup first
hkey current user / software / htc / htcsensor/ gsensor/ white list /

Disable Opera 9.7 auto rotate in HD 2
I had the issue wth Opera 9.7 as well, tried changing the registry etc. without success...
And solved with the help of BSB Tweaks 1.61.
1. Run Bsb tweaks.
2. Menu -> rotation
3. Select (check) Opera (opera_mainWndClass)
4. Options -> Rotation status -> disabled
5. Close -> Exit
6. Soft Reset
Other things such as album rotates, but opera doesn't.
Hope this helps.

try changescreen ... i've been using it to rotate screens and it works great on the tilt2

HKCU\Software\HTC\HTCSENSOR\GSensor\ModuleName
create a string called Manila with value of \windows\manila.exe
and
HKCU\Software\HTC\HTCSENSOR\GSensor\WhiteList
create a string called Manila with value of Manila
i do this everytime i install a rom so i know it works.

Thanks apax and Jack of Clubs

The Jack of Club's suggestion will make the g-sensor work in manila natively (the reg edit just tells it that manila is one of the things it should report to). There's at least one cab floating around that does the same thing, but doing it manually that way would be just as quick as downloading and running that.
However, after I used that method, I found that it would rotate at times I didn't want to, and it wasn't something that any sensitivity adjustment seemed to correct. So, now I've just used Rhodium Keyboard Controller to map screen rotation to a long press of one of the front hardware buttons ("back", in my case)...that way, it's just an easy button-press away, and it never rotates when I don't want it to.

yeah i have found that it doesnt always want to switch to landscape. i found that the start menu wont rotate if manila wont. so i figured adding the start menu will encourage manila to rotate more responsively. it might be placebo but you can try. i added it using bsb g-config and this is the registy entry it added:
HKCU\Software\HTC\HTCSENSOR\GSensor\WhiteList
create a string called Start with value of MSSTARTMENU
and this is the entry that was added for the today screen:
HKCU\Software\HTC\HTCSENSOR\GSensor\WhiteList
create a string called Desktop with value of DesktopExplorerWindow
you can try. it doesnt hurt anything to add them.
