Rotation Both Ways - HD2 General

Hi i'm aware how to add applications to auto rotate, and it is very useful indeed. However I was wondering if there is any way to enable it to auto rotate left and right similar to the iphone.
I have spb pocket plus which allows you to rotate left or rotate right however it doesn't use the g-sensor.

Search for ChangeScreen or Gyrator.

Take THIS one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=466858
Tried almost all other apps (gyrator etc.) but this works best. (BsB-Tweaks can also add Autorotation to apps but only in one direction).
ATTENTION: read thread carefully and register exceptions (manila, camera etc.) as advised by the experts to keep camera and other manila features work normally !!
If it´s not in this thread do a thourough forum search (rype "changescreen" into search filed) to find the exceptions to be registered. Takes some time to find it but that´s life

Thanks troed i think thats just what I was looking for, will give it a go and see how i get on

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.

I installed it. Work great ! Except when HTCvolume changed and multiples apps open like others (changescreen, gsen, ...)
Hi, what does it do exactly. does it scroll or just rotate the page?

just causes the screen to rotate
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

any auto-rotate text messaging programs out there?

Hi, I am the new owner of a touch hd and wanted to know what my best option was for landscape texting and if their was any auto-rotate landscape texting available? even if their is no auto-rotate, can anyone direct me to my best option for landscape texting? thanks
Derrick
Hi !! 24 hours HD owner and I adore it. Actually I found a cool application called Gyrator2 , it switches to landscape and rotate screen depending on how you hold the device ( like iphone ). Check it : http://gyrator.brins0.net/?page=downloads
you can try the new GSen from the Touch Pro 2: http://www.fuzemobility.com/gsen-now-enabled-in-more-apps/
you can add individual applications to the list as well but it works on most applications without any need to add more: http://www.mobilitydigest.com/gain-more-control-of-the-gsen-apps-tp2-edition/
I've used this on a Touch HD and it works
I have tried gsen.
At the moment im am using Dutty's 2.1 Extreme ROM and far as i know manilla should work in lanscape too.
Rotating Manilla seems to be disabled in gsen and i read that i need to add some registry keys in HKCU\Software\HTC\HTCSENSOR\GSensor\.
I dont really understand how that keys need to look like to make it work. Does anyone else had success?
Edit:
Just found out how it works.
You could also try ChangeScreen...
You could also try ChangeScreen which is my personal favourite as I find it easier to configure than Gyrator:

Full rotation

Could one of you experts guide me on how I'll make my HD2 to rotate in alla directions?? By default it rotates only 90 to the left.
I've "played" with Advanced Config but haven't manage to make it
I've tried locating posts explaining this but had no luck
Thanks in Advance
You can use either:
BSBTweaks (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=589305) or
ChangeScreen (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=468488)
I think BSB only allows other screens to rotate portrait to landscape, the OP wants full 360 rotation I think.
Pretty handy for riding rollercoasters
Yes, I'm talking about 360 rotation
THX
install gyrator 2
Dear Oblivion Gyrator is a pain in the *** to setup and I can't see why should I as the device follows the G-Sensor. The problem is that it does so only for 90 to the left and not all around. Any solution to this??
ChangeScreen allows an easy way to apply rotation in all directions in all programs.
Furthermore, and in order to avoid some undesirable rotations in phone, screen lock, camera..., you better add these applications to exceptions: cprog, manila, shell32, gwes, camera, digicompass, services

Because HTC decided it would only follow on the left side, period. So, as there's no way to change that, there are programs like Gyrator (messy) or ChangeScreen (a bit less messy) to overcome the limitation. I'm afraid you'll have to do with that. They take a few minutes to configure and you're done, It's not too bad.
But Advanced Config, in the "screen" section, has two parameters that, supposedly, "fix" this. One is for defining if the rotation is fixed and the other arranges the angle by whitch the rotation functions. Unfortunately they don't seem to work
Can I use Changescreen along with Advanced Config and BsB Tweaks??
Yes, from what I can see ChangeScreen will simply override the rotating settings from the other programs.
ChangeScreen is a good alternative, but, like I said, configure the exceptions, otherwise some rotations could be very annoying
Thank you all for your help. Could you please give me a hand with the exceptions?? I.e. camera seems not to be possible to be excepted!!!
Igo8 and lock screen turn the screen off (simply needs to press button to "re-enlight" but it is prety annoying).... Igo anyhow seems to be excepted.
Could you guide me what to write precisely in the exceptions??

Do you know how to prevent the lock screen from rotating?
Open changescreen, click show app names, open the program you want to add to exceptions, its name will show up in the middle of the screen. Enter that in the exception list, tick the portrait icon only, done.
Works fine with camera here.
I do think I'll go back to gyrator though, changescreen rotates too "early" to my liking, and this is not configurable.
Thank you. I had tried that before on the Lock Screen without success. For some reason it works now. Maybe I misspelled before.
Run the program.
In "General" tab, check all options available on this page.
In "Exceptions" tab, add the following (each separately): cprog, manila, shell32, gwes, camera, digicompass, services, commanager. Check only the first option for all these applications (usual portrait direction), and save.
Restart.
By the way, since I started using the "Proximity sensor off" application (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=624206), I disabled the lock screen. It has become useless.
kilrah sensitivity IS configurable.... 3rd tab "Advanced" the slider down the page

Important Questions everyone needs to know

1. Can the sense UI be somehow positioned into landscape mode with a .cab?
2. How do you get into the registry? All visible is HKM? no HKLM files found anywhere...
3. How to search for specific threads under one phone on xda.

1. Yes, use attached cab. It will rotate the display when you rotate the phone into portrait. I only know this to be working on the HD2.
2. What registry editor are you using?
3. Navigate to the forums for that model, and any of the subforums there that apply to your question, and then use the "search this forum" button in the top right, immediately above the list of threads.
Thanks ALOT, you dont know how much this helps, also i am using RESCO for registry, but i think i found a youtube video for that. Thanks alot, if i could award you something i would, (if there is, please do tell as well) (like a thumbs up, or +karma, or whatever this site may use if any)

ok so for the landscape cab, do i need a soft reset, and would you happen to know if cookies home screen mod works with the hd2 landscape? also, how do i find this app in the start menu, when i soft reset my phone, nothing happened when i switched my phone to landscape, any ideas?
I'm afraid that I have no idea if this works or not alongside of co0kie's mod. A soft reset after running the cab should be all you needed to get the rotation working, there's no app to run (or icon for it) after that, it just runs in the background.
You can try one more soft-reset (I think mine took 2 to kick in), and I would also go into settings and calibrate your g-sensor if you haven't already.
Also...are you rotating it the right way into landscape? so that the hardware buttons end up to the right of the screen? This cab will only do the rotation in that direction, and back.
I'm afraid the only officially-sanctioned expressions of gratitude here are the ones issued by the treasury...but this small bit of assistance isn't even worth the time it would take, so your words do the job just fine Pay it forward (here at xda, if possible!)
FYI:
It does work with co0kie's mod but it replaces some of the menu items while in landscape. I can definitely live with that, thank you for the awesome app.

how to disable TOTALLY auto-rotate

hi,
i installed Kenia V Rom (WM 6.1, Sense 2.5).
I would like to disable totally any autorotate.
I tried in a lot of ways:
- installing programs (flipit, changescreen, gyrator)
- using programs and tweeks in the rom
- using some reg keys (local>software>htc>htcsensor; and other keys)..
....
...but i can't disable autorotation in album...after soft reset, the key "local>software>htc>htcsensor>gsensor deviceAvailability" (that i set to 0) come back to 1.....
any ideas?
thanks
MOD EDIT - Thread moved to General discussion forum as not related to rom development
With apologies to thread starter, I want to do the opposite! I want to have everything on my Touch HD rotate as I use it in the car landscape. The last thing I found would do this is MaxManila but nothing since and MaxSense does not support landscape.
For example, using Energy ROM with CHT, 21908 / 2015 10 Jul 10, this has rotate screen so I get into car, rotate to landscape fine, start satnav which is landscape OK, then someone calls me, phone answers in landscape then switches (without me doing anything) to portrait, finish phone call and now satnav has switched to portrait. Aargh. Where/how can I find something that just sets autorotate everything = on without having to set every single bloody application separately.
gyrator 2 does that.
and it is free and easy to set up.

From memory, Gyrator was one of the apps cooked into one of the many ROMS I tried since the last MaxManila one. I had to set each and every application I wanted to be landscape. Such a PITA, I never bothered. Plus it didn't seem to work OK with dialler (or I couldn't find how).
I just checked today on the Gyrator 2 thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=427805&page=132 and the developer himself said
I've moved over to the Android platform now, with an Acer Liquid, so when I've finished things up with my thesis, I'll likely be making programs for it. As such, it's unlikely I'll be adding new features to Gyrator
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So I am not sure I want to get used to an app which is no longer supported - I can see a time when next ROM I flash, Gyrator stops working...
I don't understand why autorotate was so easy with MaxManila and almost impossible with everything else? It is very difficult to find answers (try searching for rotate or landscape and you get so many irrelevant results - it's like searching google for "and").
Surely I can't be the only person visiting this forum who has satnav working in landscape while in the car?
the newest gyrator version has a general rotation implemented, meaning, it will turn the display in ANY program by default, the only thing, you'd need to set up are programs, that you don't want to turn, like phone or coreplayer...
Thank you. The latest version on his site I can find is Version 2008.12.10 r1 - is that the one you mean?
I do need the dialler to rotate also, because if the Touch HD is landscape in the car and the phone rings....
yepp, that's the one. at the very top of this page: http://gyrator.brins0.net/?page=downloads
