Hi all... my HD2 seems to have developed a very annoying problem that I don't seem to be able to figure out.
I think I have introduced it by having both BSB tweaks and Gav's Touch Tools installed but basically all of the rotating sense screens will not rotate. I first noticed this when I was using Copilot and had the software set to detect device settings (for rotation)..... nothing happened. I worked around this by using Gyrator but thats not ideal... I played around with the rotation settings in BSB and Gav's but to no avail... so I deleted all the settings in each.... again no difference.
I tried uninstalling both apps and Gyrator and again, no luck... I've tried different combinations of software and resetting their settings but again no change. With Gyrator installed the screen will rotate but in the case of say the Music player the potrait view is simply split to a side by side portrait view rather than the sliding album art view.
In the album view, again this does not display correctly and appears to be a shrunken portrait view displayed in landscape. In some cases rotation is fine, for example Kimodo Player.
Somewhere along the line I seem to have introduced this problem and removing or installing various rotation apps makes no difference. As a last resort I suppose I may have to hard reset?
In the case of BSB and Gav's I did delete all the rotated app settings, could this be the problem.... even if BSB or Gavs has been installed? Is there anyway I can get back to their default settings?
I am using
Manilla 2.5.2012 and Rom 2.13.531 Artemis 17.0 WWE
(by the way I have searched the forums but couldn't find anything specifically like this problem).
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
If I had to guess I'd say its to do with registry entries being altered then not put back to default when uninstalling / deleting settings and or conflict between apps affectimg rotation.
Don't hard reset just yet I'm sure toil get an answer.
Think I have fixed it... disable rotation in BSB and installed TX_Total_Landscape.cab from here... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=631049
I think it has just reset the registry settings.

I hate to waste space and start a new thread .... but searching for this fix isnt working.
Backdrop: I used an Opera tweak located on the Tweaks for HD thread. Did the copying so I can speed up the Opera. .... Okay!
I'm not sure if this is related, but everytime i start Opera then flip it to view/navigate in landscape, it closes/minimizes Opera. Why is that? I had to reset it to make it stop. Once I use Opera and close it out....the problem comes back.
Has anyone experienced this? Is there a fix without hard a reset?
Thanks in advance!
BTW...I got an HD...please ignore the avatar and "Device" below.
I dont have a fix, however I can confirm I have the same issue. Rotating thru 90degrees seemed to start Pocket Informant, causing Opera to minimize. I have also seen it trigger the Volume app, which strangely also rotated 90 degrees?
Im sure its a problem I've caused, tweaking the touchHD with lots of apps (and sometimes removing the tweaks) so Im currently doing a hard reset now I know what tweaks I want to use!
I had this to after changing some settings with 'advanced config'. I reset most of the settings and it stopped doing it, but im not sure which ones fixed the problem.
Well that sounds like a problem easy to reverse engineer then, if you already concluded that changing some settings caused the problem.
@Kenjari: what tweaks did you apply?
@rovex: Can you change back the settings you did in ACT one by one, to find out which one caused the bugging?

I had the same issues; within Opera, watching photo's or playing movies with Coreplayer. I think it's more Gyrator related, because the applications Opera build-in photo viewer and Coreplayer have those functionality as well. Together with Gyrator 2 it can get confused after a while... however it sounds odd, because after a restart it seems to work perfectly, but after a while it comes back again. Just shut-down Gyrator and start it up again will work. Still have to see how to exclude those apps from within Gyrator though...
@Kenjari: you have Gyrator or Gsen installed as well?

I think it is Gyrator related, but ive removed my copy and it still does it sometimes, so i think something in the registry is messing things up.
I dont have gyrator installed.
Only think I installed and changed was the Ssmpsa change for the Home tab. From the there the problem started. Oh...I made the tweaks; cache size, file cache etc. A while back but it didnt start then.
Just noticed something else, if i open a link from within the RSS reader or the RSS reader is open Operas flipping fails, but if its closed it works.
it's gotta be app related (based on my experience); i did a hard reset reinstall half of the apps i had before and it's working (for now), lol.
Yeah I'm certain its an app or a tweak. The next step is identifying which one so it will stop.
Hi,
I had the same problem, i desactivate all option energy saver in advanced config and it works again. But I don't know which one is the one.
Hope this will be helpfull
Sorry for my english
i have this problem if i install microsoft dot net framework 3.5 compact
for gyrator
same problem here...
I also think it's something with Gyrator 2.
I hope we will find a solution soon.
Same problem here. after soft restart it looks OK. I don't have gyrator. Looks like it is not working after I installed some clock skin.
Same here, gone back to basic build me...hard reset, my money is on gyrator 2 or .net
seems ok now
OK, so far i've only installed after hard reset
sdkcerts
coloured top bar
skype
And i get the flip, lose focus thing too. I guess its not .net 3.5 or gyrator
Was it like that in the original build...hmmm

I have all 3 of those and I think it happened after installing skype. Besides I had to reset it because skype crashed when run for first time.
i removed the colored icon bar and installed the latest version of Opera.exe and OperaL.exe and no more issues with opeara when flipping to landscape.
EDIT: as a test i reinstalled the colored icon bar and (so far) no flipping issues in landscape.
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
i was wondering anyone could help me. when i first got my htc HD, the messaging keyboard rotate automatic. somehow when i reinstall the original-rom due for some reason, the auto rotate was gone. anyone could help me get back the original setting?
Did you buy the phone new? As far as I know, the official HTC ROM never had screen rotation in it for the keyboard.
There are loads of different programmes you can install to allow you to rotate the keyboard:
Gyrator
Flipit
to name but two...
no rotation for stock !
weird or maybe my memory was too bad. anyway i have found a screen rotating soft which was quite good compare to the rest i have tried.
changescreen_inst.
its somewhere on the forum. deleted the icon using explorer from startmenu because this software enable auto startup. now it looks so original.
how ever found it slightly lag on TF3D.
Dear All
I own a Blackstone with dutty 3.9 rom, WM6.1
I disabled Manila, I have few applications running.
I have a strange behaviour: the screen which is the active one when I start a phone call, always rotates. I dislike it. I wish it stays on on vertical position.
What I have done?
Installed changeScreen_conf and tried several settings (the prone windows process seems to be called "cprog").
I have added cprog in the "exception" list > no way to remove rotation of the phone screen...
Installed G-Config and tried to remove any application which seems related to rotation in phone: no result.
Installed HD Tweak and put sensitivy for "rotation" at lowest level > no improvements..
What can I do next?
What I am doing wrong here?
Thanks and waiting
Saulo866
Shall I try another rotation application whihc can really influence the behaviour of phone screen?
Thanks and waiting
Saulo
I don't have that ROM, but Gyrator 2 works a charm on my relatively stock HD. Search the +120 replies on the Gyrator 2 thread and it explains how to solve that exact problem. Mind you a playing with Gyrator for a few mins and you'll figure it out yourself.
Thanks a lot S4, I will give a try.
Do you believe i should unitstall first "changeScreen" and any other related rotation application G-config? One of them is embedded in the ROM (G-Config)
Thanks a lot!
Saulo
No need to have duplicate rotation apps as this will only confuse your device, especially if they have different settings. Uninstall one & reset device before installing another

Hi, I just noticed today that the Photos & Videos tab on my slider doesn't work. It shows the correct number of pictures on the right hand side, and the camera and video icons work, but no pictures show up like they used to - just a black screen!
Another quirk is that although there is a Menu soft key on the right, the left soft key is called whatever was the left soft key on the tab previously pressed. So if I hit Messages, the left soft key is All Messages; I then slide back to Photos & Videos and the left soft key is All Messages!
Weird. The Pictures and Videos application does work, I've tested it. But it won't work when I slide to the Photos & Videos tab.
I'm using the stock 1.66 ROM (UK) and have not made major changes to the phone recently; just a few small apps and a couple of Leo hotfixes (car kit and music stability). I don't even know when the problem started.
Maybe the registry setting for the P&V tab is corrupt? But where can I find that setting?
Please help - I don't want to reflash!!
Many thanks,
David
if worse comes to worse you wouldnt have to flash, just hard reset, (resets to factory settings or when new rom was flashed)
what apps have you installed to narrow it down, and what hotfixes did you apply
Photos & Videos tab problem
Thanks for replying. I installed the Leo hotifxes for music stability and car kit enhancement, so I can't see why they'd be a problem.
The only other relevant app is Resco Photo Manager which I've had for while and didn't notice a problem. I went into the settings and unchecked everything.
One other person has reported the same problem at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=6858630#post6858630. I haven't had a boot problem, just a problem with the slider tab. The Picture and Image Viewer (pimg.exe, I think) works, as does HTC Albums.
I don't know how to check the links Sense puts on the slider or how to get into the slider at all except to rearrange and delete tabs. The thought of reinstalling all my apps gives me a headache. I hope there's another way of fixing this.
Oh, I also have CHT 1.8.0, but there isn't a setting in it for slider tab shortcuts, so I don't *think* that's the problem.
Many thanks for your help,
David

Nothing showing in Photos & Video Tab [SOLVED - partially]
I have a Touch Diamond flashed with Lite Rom v4, and the problem just started a couple of days ago. I think it may indeed have to do with a landscape issue. When I turn the device to landscape view (specifically at the 270 degree position), the photos returned. I can then rotate the device back to the portrait position, and the photos also rotate. However, once I leave the Photos & Video Tab and return, the problem is back. I checked the settings, including that for Cookie Home Tab Editor, and couldn't find the settings to control Landscape/Portrait views; maybe it's built into the ROM? Although it's not ideal, for now I'll have to view the photos in landscape first.
