I have installed the newest build of Opera 9.5 (15233) from the Omnia on my HD (so that I can install Flash Lite for YouTube etc.) and I must say that it is quicker than the supplied version.
However, it will not rotate with the G-sensor or at all. I have looked through the settings, config and registry and have found nothing that changes the situation (in the registry there is HKLM\Software\Opera\GSensor\IdleTime set at 200 but I have no idea what that refers to).
Does anybody have any ideas? I'm using Gyrator2 at the moment but would prefer it to work natively.
Thanks in advance...
Have you tried it without Gyrator installed? Perhaps the two are conflicting.
Yeah I tried that at first cos Gyrator can be a bit of a pain. Now I've turned of almost all the events it works ok.
I have noticed that my SMS and Mail don't rotate either...
hey mate,
just use mobilemagic instead of g-sens. rotation works flawlessly for messages as well. (you need compact framework 3.5 - you should find a cab here at the forum - in case you haven't already flashed a custom ROM)
regards
irm
If I'm not mistaken, on the gyrator site, the developer states that rotation on the HD has been turned off purposely so it wouldn't conflict with TF3D. He goes on to say that strange things can happen when software like gyrator (and gsens or mobilemagic) is used to undo that.
On my machine it's mainly the phone module which gets in the way (using gsens). It works fine until I phone or am phoned and then it might or might not work properly after that, showing the screen rotating back and jumping to Home or the phone module or something.
Does Mobilemagic have any of that?

Having recently installed XBmod Manila Rhodium VGA Port (here) i was annoyed that my comm manager skin was still the stock O2 blue skin
I search for ages to try and find someone how had made a black one, the closest i came was this which isnt black and this which had render issues and had the white left buttons, so it might not be perfect but i made one.
If anyone has any suggestions or the original Manila Rhodium VGA background on its own please send it and your suggestions over and i will see what i can do.
Also ive design this so it will just replace your existing skin and not change the existing options on your comm manager page like add the 3g button if you dont already have it.
PS ignore the background looking so crap in the screen shot, this is largely because of soti pocket controllers preview mode being a lower colour base.
MIRROR Standard: http://rapidshare.com/files/213416974/PLAzmA_Rhodium_VGA_Comm_Manager.cab.html
UPDATE: (3G)
I have also created, a version which will enable a 3G option in comm manager, personally i dont use 3G so i didnt bother writing it in but im sure some people will want to have it
MIRROR 3G: http://rapidshare.com/files/213485222/PLAzmA_Rhodium_VGA_Comm_Manager_3G.cab.html
Issue: after installing this onto my device the background of the Comm Manager is still white, along with white font color and dark icons as in your screenshot.
plazma247 said:
Have you done a soft reset ??
Also what phone and rom are you running it on?
As far as i can see from looking at other skin cabs the background files are always called P_BG.png and L_BG.png and are not set by a reg key and called by comm manger program directly.
Please post problems / answers to the comm manager thread instead of xbmod's thread as its a bit off topic thanks.

"CommManagerUIStyle" was set to 4 instead of 2 as in your provided fix.reg. I'm waiting for my device to startup as I type.
Btw, can you recommend a good register editor for VGA devices? Used PHM, but wasn't able to import your reg file.
EDIT: yepp, by changing that value from 4 to 2 I'm able to view the black background. Thank you =)!

Sure if you can find me any other comm manager cab thats wvga i will strip it apart and rebuild it to support the Rhodium skin, i looked and havnt found one yet.
Alternativly if you can extract me the following files from your windows folder:
Function_Bluetooth.png
L_BG.png
P_BG.png
and give me a registry export of :
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\CommManager
and all sub keys zip/rar them and send them over, i can then rebuild back into a cab, i need the registry key as ive not got a blackstone and need to double check the reg values

Cab didnt work
Hi ,
Tried to install the cab but fails immediatly with when i just pressed the cab file.
My phone : Raphael unbranded Netherlands
ROM: ROMeOS 1.90.1
Radio 1.12.25.19
Only thing that I could imagine is my other commanager from nadavi that adds the 3 g is corrupted with this version.

I would make sure your comm manager isnt running in memory when you install, ive actually made the pack so it has a 3g and ir option if you have already modded to get 3g or ir to appear on the comm manager.
However if you want to uninstall nadavi version, ive made a 3g version especially for you see the main thread for download.
I'm sorry, but I can't seem to actually use my Comm-Manager since I installed yours. The style is awesome for sure, but it's not very usable at the moment:
Clicking on an item highlights the current item, but does nothing; no toggling of Bluetooth or WiFi...
Clicking on the ON/OFF button for a function doesn't function either... same as above
In Rhodium Manila when I press the title for WiFi or Bluetooth the device vibrates and I'm taken to scanning mode (scan for AP's or BT devices)... this functionality is also gone.
EDIT: and I can't seem to uninstall it either. Typical
Uninstall
Not sure whats going on there, try and re-install over the top, it will tell you old version will need to be removed, say yes and then cancel the install when it comes to reinstall.
what rom are you running ?
Actually ive just noticed that since ive install XBmod latest manila pack im also unable to uninstall anything i put on, this it maybe a big in his pack, only noticed after i install wififofum today and its not on the list either.

udK's ROM (see sign)... Yeah, must be XBmod's Manila... can't seem to uninstall any other app I've installed either. Damn, but oh well =)
So you're using XBmod's Manila and are able to use all the functionality within the CommManger? I suppose the regkeys are within the CAB file? Otherwise, is the values in fix.reg those you're using?

Yeah its working fine on my rom and the cab now includes whats in fix.reg which basically sets the comm manager mode to the right them to use a background wallpaper.
If you try and re-install over the top, it will say you have to remove before it can reinstall, allow i to remove, then cancel the new installation. soft reset and your old comm manager skin is back.
if you can then give me an export of :
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\CommManager
i can look into it and see what the problem is, potentially i can rebuild you your own cab if theres something particular with your rom.

That's exactly what happens to me with the ROM in sign. Will update ROM soon, so I can report back.
worked great for me. thanx again plazma, cant wait to see what you come up with next! still lovin the calculator!!
New Developments
I think your getting the green bars more than once is because your rom must use more than one colour for transparency on my dev phone only #000000 (true black) is used for transpency, so the comm manager is slightly off black to work around this, work fine on mine and for others aparently. So i can only assume the people having problems with their roms is due to the above.. not sure how to fix it but will look into it.

Well after the black calculator ive started and nearly completed a black dialer skin to match the calculator... ive got a small bug on landscape but might post it later this week if i cant figure out how to get around it.
Until then heres a screen shot
About a month ago I upgraded from my old trusty and excellent HTC HD to the new HD2.
After a few tweaks, haks and fixes and some downloads, I was extremely happy of my HD , in fact the only real improvement in the HD2 to me seems to be the much faster CPU (which of course is not a little thing)
However there are a couple of major gripes (or just lack of aternative options) on the HD2 that I find particularly unnerving, prominent among which is the excruciatingly bad Kboard.
It's even worse than the one I've got on my HTC Hero which has a far smaller screen.
On the HD I had installed "FingrKboard" which I found simply excellent; is'nt there something similar that would work on the HD2?
Or maybe do you think that the same .cab file that worked on the HD's wm 6.1 will also work on the HD2 wm 6.5?
Second major problem with the HD2 is that I still have'nt been able to find a (good and possibly free) registry editor for it.
I have read about some very interested tweaks for the HD2 in the threads of the forum, but they all require the use of a registry editor, which one would you suggest?
And again: would I be able to install and use one of those I had on the wm 6.1 of my old HD(1) ?
And last (and probably least too): would "Gyrator" ,be installable and working on the HD2 as it did on the HD1?
No eh?
And do you know of another app that would make the screen turn from portrait to landscape with all apps?
Even if you could point to the solution to just one of my conflicts with the HD2 , you would have accomplished your Xmas good deed by making very happy a poor afflicted geek.
This is the way you might earn your place in heaven, you know ?

FingerKeyboard worked on WM6.5 on the HD1 and works on the HD2. I found it to be superior to the standard HTC keyboard.
There is also a cab file that reduces the sensitivity of the screen on the HD2. This is supposed to make typing a bit easier although I have not personally tried it.
For registry editing, I use PHM RegEdit. It's a free program.
I use Resco Explorer and once you've downloaded that (for free), download the registry editor add-in (both cabs on the Resco site)

Resco Explorer will eventuall need a key to fully register the program. I do however second Resco if you can buy it.

The registry editor stays unlocked though. I actually never use the Explorer part but you're right, that gets locked after a few days so you need to purchase it (if you want to).
Try Swype as a keyboard. I found it on this site and haven't looked back! It has an amazing input method and is not as over-sensitive as the native HTC keyboard. Check it out....

I second PHM RegEdit.
Simple, easy to use and free.
Thanx fellas.
I had both PHM regedit and fingerkeyboard because I had downloaded and installed them on my old HD(1) and Samsung Omnia i900 ( of which I got rid long ago) , now I have installed them on the HD2 and they work great.
I wonder which other win 6.1 apps will work on the big screen and win 6.5 of the HD2.
Dutty (one of my heroes) for exemple had to modify Cyberon voice dialer to get it to work on the HD2 because as it was the standard version would'nt play together with the HD2., so not all HD apps would be usable on the HD2.
I wonder how Gyrator would behave in the new environment.
Oh, and thanks very much for the link too, very interesting and useful.
I hope I'll be soon able of being of some help too.
BSB tweaks for screen rotation mate
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=589305
Thanx Carlos, I have already installed the awesome BB Tweaks and now I have also cheked the "show standard windows setting" box, but I still can't find the menu you uploaded with the screen turning option.
Where is it hidden?
Is there any particular option I should enable?
I have enabled nearly all of them anyway but hat option still eludes me.

Hi there..
Dont mean to flame or anything like that.
But the title of the thread suggests that you arnt happy with the device.
So we start reading your post.
But its all just software features you lack or want to change.
And that does not really imply the hardware exclusive to the HD2.
@ Johncmolineaux
Thank you mate, I looked for it for 2 days, maybe I should wear my glasses more often.
@ Enonoid
I'm sorry if from my title you or anybody else got the impression that I was'nt happy with the HD2: I bloody love it man!
I just wished to find a few apps, progs and tweaks to which I got used with my old HD1 (which I loved too).
I also have an HTC Hero and a Nokia N97 ,which after Nokia changed camera lens, camera cover, GPS chip & software, installed ROM 2.0, optimized memory, and gave me for free one year subscription to the latest OVI maps for Europe, has become a great phone too; but the HD2 is my fav hands down, even though as an OS per se I like Andrid more than WM 6.5 (mainly because of the marketplace and the awsome free apps available).
One must be a brainwashed Apple fanboy not to like like the HD2.

Swype is the next generation keyboard, amazing. I am running it on the HTC Touch HD, although it will run much better on a capacitive screen, more sensetive the screen the better it will work.
Yes, Swipe rocks,but after BB tweaks adjusted the screen sensitivity of the standard kwerty, and the FingerKboard, they have become absolutely excellent too.
The only problem is that I can't put any of those in ladscape position.
I have tried to reinstall Gyrator but it does not seem to work on the HD2 it seems made for devices with styluses and resistive screens.
Did anyone find a way to type messages, notes, etc. in landscape?
whats up everyone, just got my hd2 from t-mobile and i installed slingplayer mobile and it works great however when i go into full screen mode it changes the full screen to the right of the phone and i want to change it to the opposite side. is there a simple way to do this? maybe a registry edit. i have already searched and either i am using the wrong key words but i cant find anything.
thanks for the help.
try Slingplayer 2.x. it is much better.
use BSB or ChangeScreen to associate rotation to the player. i use changeScreen.
Is there a driver and associated registry settings that allows haptic feedback in the Raphael for Manila tabs, on-screen keyboard et.al. or does one have to use a third party program?
Bumparoo...
BTW, mods, this is a cooking issue, but if any of you feel it is specific enough to warrant moving to the Raphael sub-forum, be my guest.
i blieve its the package touchflo that arranges that
atleast it is for my blackstone
dont know if you can use it for vga device though
if you wanna give it a shot i can upload it for you
I think so too. I just want to know if it's a specific version. I'll play around with the S2 package I have and report back.

am i right you mean that rom?
the touchflo package im reffering to whas in the blackstone default rom
attached it to be sure as i think it will work for vga to
going further here as its off topic for the other thread
in that package i have a setting that enables/disables haptic feedback for me on keyboard and tabs:-o i believe on the diamond rom wich i made for a friend it also works that way
would have to check at his phone to be 100 sure though
SOLVED
PHP:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\OEM\KeyState]
"UseService"=dword:00000001
Make sure this value is set at 1 in shared modules package. Vibration in both Manila tabs and keyboard.
