disallow screen rotation

Hello!
I need to write software that disallows any screen rotation on my Wizard.
How can I do it? I didn’t found any registry settings for this. The best way
that I see is hooking ChangeDisplaySettingsEx. But unfortunately, SetWindowsHookEx
doesn’t works on WM 5.0, at least it said on some topics. Please, give me any solution for this problem or example code to hook some API function.

wm5: [HKLM\System\GDI\Rotation]
Angle=dword:0
00000000 portrait
0000005a righthanded landscape
0000010e lefthanded landscape
then RegistryNotifyCallback will do

tanks a lot
I will try this way.
But I afraid it will be notified after screen rotation starting.
Adjusting this registry value in regedit tool did't help.
So I suppose this value is changing after rotation is done.

You can delete the start up service of ScreanRotate.
Go to HKLM/Services/ScreanRotate and delete it.
I think before you doing this,you can export it to a reg file

It's not bad idea.
but delete this key leading to system restart for apply
I just try to stop this service.

Not luck : (
This key not present in the registry storage.
I am under WM 5.0
Maybe you talk about some early system.

Hi hoblano, I'm experiencing the same problem, did you find a solution ?
thanks,
Scalposcarno

use task manager 2.7 and stop service...if you know it is service...
same way to stop kbd lights...btw,

I tried, but the result is the same as the one obtained by manually deleting the Screen Rotate voice within the services voices in the registry: avoiding the load of the service providing the icon on the task bar enabling the user to rotate the sceen one or more times by tapping on it.
I still don't understand ... at this point the most probable thing is that the service that rotate the OS screen when rotating by hand the HW screen, is invisible with respect to registry voices and to applications like Task Manager 2.7 or MemMaid. Apart from criticizing the constructor choice (why didn't they thought that someone should have been more comfortable using only one view mode ? e.g. landscape one), is there a way to obtain a list of core services and to avoid one of those to be loaded ? or, otherway, is there a way to intercept the event thrown when manually rotating the screen of the terminal ?
By the way, I'll have to do it with Java ...
thanks all

A few UI modificaiton questions.

I've been searching around quite a bit but have been unable to find solutions for what I would like to do to my PPC.
I have a hermes running At&t wm5 with no intention of upgrading yet;
but my questions are:
1. I would like to change the icons of the programs in all of my menus such as start>programs and start>system>settings. I assume a program or patch, as well as a lot of work is needed. Any ideas how to go about doing this?
2. I want to change the 2 bottom soft keys on the today screen (phone/contacts) to Lock / Contacts. As in just hit my left hard or soft key to lock the phone.
Any help is much appreciated
(Also, sorry if this is the wrong forum)

try the attached file for this... called softkey changer.

hey. thank you for the app! I tried it but unfortunately it did not have an option to place the device lock as a soft key.
so unfortunately both problems are still left unsolved =/

problem with assigning the softkeys...

What i want to do: Left key= drop down start menu, Right key= file explorer
However what happens is i get the start menu on the left soft key but i only get the file explorer on the right soft key for maybe one/two presses and after that its sets itself to launch Today. Is this normal, i.e do you have to have one of them set as Today? Please help. Thanks.

happens with my phone too...as soon as i reboot or switch panels my left key becomes left softkey and the right becomes today again...
i made an override with AE Buttons...

it seems u r using TF3d.

I have the same p, but for me AE Buttons dont't show the left or right softkeys? Have anyone solved this? It would be really great!!!
P.S.: Happy new year!!!

i do have the panel installed yes...why? does this cause this problem? ty

I have heard of a number of people that use TF3D have issues with the softkeys resetting to default. I personally don't use TF3D and have no issues with my custom softkey mappings.

Glad it's not just me experiencing this issue.
I've got a friend with an X1 with almost exactly the same software installed (TF3D also), he doesn't appear to be having the same issue.

Missing bluetooth icon in Start menu bar.

I've been using my xperia for some time with out any problems but recently I discovered that the bluetooth icon that appears on the Start bar is completely missing.
Whenever I turn on bluetooth there is no visual confirmation in the Start menu bar. Bluetooth connection work as intended but I have no icon and it can be quite confusing without a visual feedback.
Does anyone know of registry keys that handle it or where these bluetooth icons are stored (maybe they got deleted somehow)?
Thanks

Iam having the same problem
I tried to uninstall all the recent programs i installed but the problem remains

I fixed it by changing some keys in the registry and then rebooting.
Unfortunately I am not sure which exact key made the difference, I changed a lot and then to my amazement after a soft reset it started appearing again. It is definitely a registry key on the bluetooth or the Taskbar entries (might have to do with enlarge start menu too).

Could u please tell me what extacly did u do?
Coz i searched over the whole forum for answer but still got no clue

As I said I am not sure, I changed some registry keys regarding bluetooth and/or taskbar and it did the trick.
Use a registry editor and search for bluetooth and taskbar entries. Be careful though because if you change the wrong keys it could brake your WinMo installation and then need to reflash.
I really can't help you more on that, I hope that I knew which registry keys fixed it.

Fn key indicator disappeared...

Okay so you flip out the keyboard, and have to use the function key. When you press the Fn-key (blue dot), do you get a dot icon by the keyboard icon on the bottom bar? I used to, but now its gone. i want it back!!
Ive searched trough this forum, and used google, but no luck... Also tried searching around in the registry, but nothing seems logical attached to the fn-button indicator. Please help me someone?!

Have the same problem, anyone can help ?

Have you tried hard reseting your device.. If it's working before. Hard reseting may help..
