were you able to get that .cab file to work
for dialing I figured out to disable smart dialing and you can dial without the contacts coming up and covering the keys
The CommManager is not added in this programm, maybe someone knew another programm for it.
cab works great and is what i was looking for sorry for being newbish. Thanks alot for the cab
what today themes are you guys using with this program. Im finding that most the themes out there will load but the picture on the theme will only be small picture in the middle of the screen instead of taking up the whole screen.

you can use Resco Photo Viewer to set your today wallpaper which will fill the whole screen
or just get a free registry editor and change the DPI setting from 192 to 96.
HKCU/software/microsoft/today/dpi
then do something that will refresh display, say rotate screen or soft reset...

No DPI Dword value in my registry....
Will WM6 support full VGA, so, no hacks are necessary?

are you looking in the correct place? i.e. HKCU
its there on Tmobile Ameo ROM, and seems to be a standard WM5 reg setting since i got the info from an old WM5 site explaining how to get pictures bigger in the background on WM5 devices.
if your provider has removed it, try adding it
Added HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\DPI as Dword value 96 in dec (0x60 in hex)
Nothing happens

Remember to do a soft-reset after every reg edit. Use a software, or turn off device for 10 seconds and turn on again, before doing the reset
Not sure where to post this so I created a thread.
Forgive me if this is not correct.
Playing wiht the registry I found the key HLM->System->GDI->Rotation which has a HideOrientationUI attribute. Set it to 0 and the standard screen rotation option will appear in the control panel
great find !!!
thats great news findinf that..is it possible to set soft key to rotate when required ?
thanks again for that !!

It gives you an extra option in Control Panel that lets you select if the display is Landscape or Portrait.

You can use Gyrator or GSen to do that
Yes, this is not automatic it just re-enable the standard screen panel to manually select orientation.

please advise, how, would love to be able to work on documents etc in landscape (auto switch) mode if possible.
Peter.
As apd said for the automatic rotation you can use Gyrator or GSen. Otherwise with this you can start your app and then manually rotate the screen from the control panel.
just tried this and it says "access denied" when i edit the value data and change the 1 to 0
am i missing something?
Steve
used resco regedit ... works!
wow. This is really nice. Thanks! now I don't need the gyrator!
I can find nothing new after manipulating the registry.
Where can i exactly find the option in control panel?
In the Screen menu. If you still can't see the option, try a soft reset.
excellent find. thnx for sharing!
any program to change that or a cab file ??
thanks
Ill try this on the diamond to see if it works.
I wish I could try it with the demo phone @ the store (touch HD) before buying it.
I tried the registry edit on the demo Touch HD at the store.
The problem is that it keeps reverting back to portrait mode after accessing the phone menu.
So it will remain perfectly in landscape mode till I try to enter a phone number.
The phone menu is vertical, then it remains vertical.
Any info?
thanks.

I read alot in the Blackstone section and I guess some Blackstone owners missed this little tool :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=442426
I posted it for the X1 but since the resolution of the X1 and the Blackstone is the same..
I hope it will work on the Blackstone too
It works nicely with emulators, SKYFIRE Beta 0.85 etc etc .
fotoingo said:

A week ago I received my X1 and tried WVGA Fix (Version 1) ! It didnt work...
After some searching i found a improved Version -WVGA FIX 2- now supporting all WM 5, 6, 6.1 and WVGA devices.
This little Program virtually "cuts" the pixels bigger than VGA from your device.
Dont get scared.. This only happens as long as you run the program.
Those pixels get black and the program emulates a VGA screen.
When you choose to get back to WVGA everything is fine again
So most programms (not only emulators) will work fine on our nice WVGA screen.
I thought some people here will love this tool too.
PS:Install the cert first, then WVGA FIX2 second.
Cheers !
All credits for this tool -> Cotulla

Tried it already, Pocket UFO runs thanks to it.
Thanks! This has allowed me to try out SkyFire...
J
It doesn't work for me.
It change allways the display to landscape before freezing.
Hmm, SCUMMVM ???
yup I missed that... nice, definitely allows me to run some apps that otherwise screwed up... Especially skyfire
@vincent1: yes the rotation is annoying and not required, but it does Not freeze your phone. Your display mode changes and you still see the fix app running but it's just a frozen screen, press the today hard button and you will see manila, which instantly forces the screen to rotate back to portrait, after which you got normal VGA screen (except part of manila is missing). Now you can run any vga app you like. Just switch back to the fix program to undo the res change, press home again to fix the landscape mode, etc.
@nin2thevoid
thanks mate! Yep, pressing the today hard button is the secret

NP... I use AEButton by the way and have assigned long press of the volume up button to rotate the screen clockwise (I don't always like g sensors to do this for me). This gives an instant fix to this problem as well, and it un-freezes the program instantly.

I can confrim the above and the only way to solve it is to take the battery out as the screen does not react to tap.
hi
any news about this ?
Because I'm getting the same problem
I've tried this and it doesn't work on my HD. the phone becomes unusable.
Is there any other software to enable VGA programs? I'd like to run PocketUFO again.
any good for the hd2 ?.

Instruction:
Make sure that that TF3D installed and works like it should in portrait mode
Get latest MortScript from here. Tested with latest beta (preferable).
Install MortScript on your X1
Unzip attached script and put in your \Windows\StartUp (or localized name) folder on your X1
Softreset (or run script manually)
Report
The basic idea is VERY simple - just prevent screen rotation while TF3D is active and allow landscape for any other apps.
Script dynamically switches between landscape and portrait modes if keyboard is unfolded and device is switched from TF3D to “normal” app or vice versa.
If you are using standalone SPb Mobile Shell (not as a panel) this script prevent show "SPb Now screen" on wakeup if TF3D is onscreen.
Now with real prevention of landscape for TF3D.
Drawback - camera button remapped to right softkey while TF3D is on screen. Looking for solution.
Version History:
v1.0
+ Initial Version
v1.1
+ Added ability to autodisable "SPb Now on wakeup" while TF3D on screen
v1.3
+ Real prevention of landscape for TF3D. Camera button not functional while TF3D is on screen.
v1.4
+ While TF3D is on screen right softkey button works as camera button
+ If TF3D isn't on screen right softkey buttion works as right softkey (hardcoded)
Please include in report TF3D version (source) and type of TF3D use (Today/Panel).

OK, so test it.
And don't forget to report.
Just developed new script for people who use SPb Mobile Shell not as a panel.
I’m personally prefer use SPb Mobile Shell in that way because I like fullscreen look and feel of Mobile Shell (and Mobile Shell Panel doesn’t support Russian).
This script include functionality of TF3D landscape workaround plus prevent SPb “Now Screen” to be shown in case that TF3D active.
If you don’t have SPb Mobile Shell you can use this script as well, it will function only as TF3D landscape workaround in that case.
Installation instruction in first post.
Just tried it. It works. When the phone switch to landscape mode when you slide out the keyboard, it switches it back to portrait mode.
Although i really wished that this script stops TF3d to switch to landscape mode entirely. so we dont see that ugly ass half pixelated screen at all

It's just my first mobile script.
I'll try to find out is total prevention possible becase I don't like ugly screen on nice device too.
But anyway it's better to have ugly screen for 1-2 seconds than ugly screen all the time.
Just developed new solution with real prevention of landscape for TF3D.
Drawback that camera button not works while TF3D on screen. Looking for solution.
New version in first post.
1.3 works fine, camera has no issues.
using Itje 2.2 tf3d as today plug In
1.3 works, but it disabled the camera button as stated
Using UK generic ROM, tf3d as panel. fix it fix fix fix fix!
Thanks btw!

did you follow the instructions exactly? do you get any error messages?
i originally used the version of this with the spb fix in it (for no reason than I could) then replaced the 1.3 file. Can't see how that would make any difference.
I am using the b10 of mortscript btw, but don't think that makes any difference.
Karlson nice script, I might try some different plugins, if I can get the old BIG VGA home plugin working from the x7500 that would look great in landscape. I've never been that impressed by this action screen..
Think about it I might just try some of my old Rltoday screens.
Very nice fix

Share your ideas - I can make more scripts for any automation.
Just published new version.
Camera button remaped to right softkey.
If TF3D isn't active right softkey works as default (hardcoded).
Please post any suggestion especially if you need different right softkey functionality.

Well, it would be nice if you could wrap a small UI around your app. Perhaps a landscape disable "toggle" and right softkey remap toggle as well? I'm going to try it again, see what it does now.

for TF3D, I have Version 3.0 (Build 32076) <-- This one came with itje's Touch-IT Xperience ROM v.2.2
for MortScript, I'm using the latest one from the link you provided
using V1.4 looks better
just a little problem though, when i slide out my keyboard it kick back to portrait then came back to landscape --> improvement, it stay in landscape, last try it will always kick back to portrait.
when i slide in, it close the cmEXlandscape perfectly
GREAT JOB!
THANKS!!
Cheers
Has anyone tried this with TF3D as a panel?
Also, what happens when I slide open the keyboard, does it rotate back to portrait or does it show the tabs, but as shortcuts on the screen?

On the 6.5.1.ROM's on the HD it doesn't work well anymore.
Please test this on HD2.

disable hardware keys
S2U2 works fine on my HD2 (though I don't use the CallerID function).
The only problem is that all hardware keys (except volume) wake up the phone. And worst, a long press on on-off key start the power-off panel (quite troublesome given that you can shutdown the phone accidentaly in your pocket).
Someone has a solution ?

I think it's ridiculously unlikely that that will ever happen! Do you keep random button pressing machines in your pockets?
I've had mine for 2 weeks now, and it's not even been out of standby mode when I've taken it out of my pocket, ever.

I've had the problem of power-off panel yesterday, that's why I ask this question.
And the problem for the other hardware key is that it is battery draining to have the screen on (and I don't wear baggies, thus it happen quite regurlarly)
Already installed on my HD2 very nice, anyone know how to disable the slider lock of origin HD2?
Look at the sticky "Leo hints and tips" item 27 Disable Auto Screen Lock
You can disable the original slider with the cab in this thread:

Also all day appointments is an option in the settings you need to enable!

You are right. S2U2 lacks a quick resleep function (which is present in TouchLockPro). When TouchLockPro has fixed the G-sensor detection, I think it is way better than S2U2 in terms of locking (except that it doesn't have the sexy interface). I don't really care what it shows on the screen when it is locked.
No, with S2U2 active, I can't long press the end key to turn off the phone without first slide-unlocking.
Fortunately, the panel is still locked after HD2 is waked up by a hard key. At least it won't be sending mails or dialing phones in your pocket.
