just create a new event and learn the window class with it open, I got ATL:1420518, set orientation Portrait, action Rotate Screen, seems to work so far
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] LordDeath:
This helps, thx! :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] vangrieg:
I found it easier and more effective to remove all default rules (especially the rule that rotates all applications) and then create a couple rules to rotate some things that aren't rotated without Gyrator (like Excel, Word and Adobe Reader).
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] A2E:
This is probably just my imagination, but:

I tried disabling Gyrator and setting the long-press of the Pick-Up key to rotate the screen (START>SETTINGS>BUTTONS) and it seems to me that rotating is faster than with Gyrator. Try going back and forth a few times in different applications.

(I may actually stick to this method not because of the speed, which as I said is probably just my imagination, but because of the tighter control of when I want to rotate. Sure, Gyrator is a great program and the accelometer is cool, and while I know most people here won't agree with me - I think pressing a button to rotate on those rare occasions when it is needed is a better solution for me personally).
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] arche3:
Iagree. im using long press of button as well.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Nautme:
I downloaded the latest version, but I hadn't got to try it yet. I don't have "Phone - Incoming" in my list, but I'm going to try the wild card. I just worry as the title bar says "Start" during that incoming call.

Good Idea. It might be a better way to go if there are more exclusions than inclusions (or you can't get the exclusions to work).

I would guess that it's partially because of the Polling Interval in Gyrator. Mine came set at 500 (milliseconds I assume), so it only checks the orientation every half-second. This is probably still quicker than a long-press. I was considering re-mapping my PTT button to rotate.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] utee05:
Does anyone happen to have a copy of their events.ini file that I could use? I just want to use this program to rotate email and sms. I still have a problem with the program rotating the TF3D screen after I have the phone in landscape mode after sending a txt message.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Nautme:
That worked. For anyone else having rotation issues on incoming calls, use the following in your events.ini (it leaves the phone in whatever orientation the device is in):

Disable (Phone),Phone<*>,1,0,0,,0
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] han0747:
one of the best app on diamond!

one problem, by applying rules, tf3d, dialpad, etc... didn't rotate as expected. But once the phone is keylocked. they become rotatable. I think it is because the lock application over the others. I tried to create a rule to disable it but unsuccessful. Tried windows title such as Lock, unlock, <*>lock, lock<*>, nothing works. anyone has done this before?

New Version Features (2008.09.24.0):

I have added new options to allow the device to be powered off when it is either upside

down, or face down, and also to only power off if it is dark, ie in your pocket. Since the

sensor is not terribly accurate, sometimes it thinks it's dark, even when it isn't, but this is

no fault of my program.

I have also added a new option to start the application minimised. Unfortunately, due to

how the framework works, I cannot simply not show the window, so it is shown, and then

hidden again. This can produce a flickering effect if the device is busy at the time, but

that's acceptable, I hope...

The installer now adds a startup entry, so the program is started on boot. If you don't like

this, you can remove the shortcut from "\Windows\Startup" manually to disable the feature.

The application now has a minimise option in the menu, as well as the close and exit

options. This simply performs the same action as tapping on the "X" button at the top of

the window, but it's there anyway
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] brins0:
This would actually be relatively simple to do, but would require alot of small things changing behind the scenes. Still though, it's more than possible to implement in the new version. I could change the check boxes so they had 3 modes like they do in some windows applications. They would have off (no tick), on (full tick) and indeterminate (think it's a square in the box). Each could represent a different mode, coz you'll only want it to either turn the screen or the device off.

Nice suggestion, defenitely will implement for you...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] brins0:
I don't think I've explained waht the different options are well enough as i've received a

few questions about it.

Exit:

This closes the applcation completely closing all child windows, and terminating the

process.

Close:

This disposes of the window to save on memory. This is here purely for folk who want it to

run after it's been configured, and there is no way of getting the window back afterwards

other than the applciation showing the window again itself.

Minimise:

This is how almost all aplications hide windows normally. The window is forced into the

background, but is not disposed of, so it can be braught back to the foreground by the

system. This is the option which you should select if you simply want to push the window

into the background out of view.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] brins0:
It isn't possible to simply not show the window, as the window contains all of the code which

controls the rotation event handlers and such. If this window is not loaded, nothing will

happen. In future versions (which may infact require a ground-up rebuild) I may be able to

seperate the form completely, but I cna't think of any way you could invoke the configuration

window, if there's no menu to open it with...

Currently, when the application is started (Using "Application.Run()") the window is created, and

then forced to show. The window does not show itself during creation if that's what you thaught

happened. The Run method tells the window to show itself before it starts the application thread

going.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] whc:
Yes I know, but would be nice if it would be possible to open the application after hitting "cloose", and not hva to kill it from task man, for easy turning off.

The minimize does still run in HTC task man, I personally would like it to run in background (completely in background) and still be able to open application to exit when you want to disable.

Or maybe just a seperate "tuggle" on/off icon?

[2008.09.25.0] New version!

A new version has been released, so have added this post to bump the topic up.

New features in this release include cosmetic changes, large bug fix with light sensor, vibration on power off, handlers for future features.

This release fixes a large bug in the exiting procedure, where the application would not terminate correctly do to a fault in the library. I strongly recommend you update to the latest version!

Also added new feature on my site showing the version history to reduce the amount of text on the main page, it can be found HERE.

Link to information post concerning the updates, as well as download information.

Is there a possibility to ad something like delay? Because i got some issues when using it with sensorLock, when you turn around device manyt times screen switches off. Only if you do it quick enough Sensor lock would work. Or maybe you could ad locking solution to your application?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] brins0:
Thanks, i'll give it a shot for the next version. No sense making new shots till then :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] brins0:
Adding a locking feature is certainly a possibility. How does sensor lock work as far as locking is concerned? Is it gSensor based, or stylus based?

Irrigardless of how it works, how would you expect/want it to work in my program?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] mst46:
I first have to say thanks for that great program of yours :-).

I especiall like the "enter standby when device is upside down" as the power button on

the Diamond is really far off ;-). This was the feature I was waiting for for a long time.

I also would like to see some kind of locking mechanism integrated into Screen Rotator

as I now use sensorlock in addition. But using more than one program acting on the

GSensor will be asking for trouble I am afraid. So it would be better to integrate all the

features into one program. Both other great programs (sensorlock

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=422871&highlight=sensorlock and

Styluslock (based on source code from sensorlock)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=426730&highlight=sensorlock) are

under the GNU public license and so the source code is accessable.

Maybe you can even get together to make one program with all the features?

As for locking I would prefer to use "left turn face down" for locking.

How about "right turn face down" for muting the device ?

Upside down is just great for putting it into StandBy - please keep that.

Thanks,

mst
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] brins0:
Thanks for the comments...

In all ohnesty, it's simpler to implement those features from scratch than it would be to decipher someone elses code, plus I'm really only making this to keep my mind active. I get so bored sitting here with nothing much to do, so I thaught i'd make this, and it's grown much more than I could have hoped. It really does make me happy knowing people actually like it.

When you say locking, do you mean, lock to the password screen, or lock the same way as the today locking plugin works? I can do both, but which would you profer. As for stylus locking, that's also very simple to do, as it works in the same way as the learning feature i've implemented.

I was thinking of simply extending the combo boxes with the options in, to include more options including:

"Do Nothing"

"Lock Device"

"Lock Device (only when stylus is inserted)"

"Enter Standby"

"Enter Standby (only when stylus is inserted)"

"Lock Device and Enter Standby"

"Lock Device and Enter Standby (only when stylus is inserted)"

And then have a seperate tab concerning stylus control, such as, When stylus is inserted:

"Do Nothing"

"Lock Device"

"Enter Standby"

"Lock Device and Enter Standby"

These ideas would be very simple to add to the program, but the configuration screen would have to have more tabs, as it's getting a little crowded for all of these options folk want adding :D

Is this the kind of thing you had in mind before I begin? (Gotta go eat first of course, it's 19:00 here)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] tepss:
Well, new version of program solves my problem as i can power off taking phone upside down. Great. And my SensorLock does the job then. It would be very nice if this function might be integrated with your app. One app runing in background instead of two....

Could you please tell me how app consumes energy? Is it active while device is in standby mode? I do a lot of browsing and charging during the day and can't do proper battery consumption test.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] brins0:
My application does absolutely nothing when the device is in standby, and when the device is action, there is a simple poll every 5000ms (5 seconds) to see if an internal option is enabled (Specifically the "Keep awake when un level" option). If this is enabled, the device's idle timer is reset, if it is not enabled, nothign happens. The rest of the program is purely event based, and no sensor polling techniques are used.

Hope this answers your question.

Also: I'm currently intergrating stylus usage into the application as mentioned in my previous post, and all is going well with development so far. You can probably expect a new version with it included before the end of the day.

Improving the library

Firstly, well done, mate. Your program is by far the most user-friendly one I've seen thus far. I really like the customization options and the app-detection mechanism is truly ingenious!

That being said, it is frustrating to have such a good front-end when the back-end disappoints. Rotation on my phone is haphazard at best (and from the videos I've seen online I fear that this is the norm). The phone sometimes needs to be given a little shake before the screen rotates and all to often rotation simply refuses to realize.

Since GSen had exactly the same problems, I suspect that the culprit is definitely the library. Would I be too much of an imposition to ask someone to write a better library/back-end? I know way to little about programming to know if this is a realistic request or not. In any case, when compared to HTC's rotation-sensing (ct. the Album program), I'd say there is a lot a room for improvement.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] lexluthor:
Is there any way to have this not start up with the device but only when you want to use it?

That really should be an option.

Any ideas? Yes, I know I can close it as soon as it opens after a reboot, but it's easy to forget and it's just not the "right" way to do it.

Can someone help me set up an event to rotate Opera Mini (inside jbed java)? Do I use learn window class or learn window title? I can't figure out how to use either of those options.

Telus Cdma Gyrator 2 Fix

Someone over at PPC Geeks downloaded the new rom and radio update for the TELUS cdma diamond from HTC's website before it was taken down a few days back and has shared it with the community. This update has fixed the bug that would force the app running gyrator to return to portrait and exit (even opera was doing this). The update also includes a radio upgrade that greatly improves battery life. Below is a link to a post with the update exe posted by tobeychris over at howardforums:

locking solution

Great app, thanks! I use it mostly as autolock (stylus in/reverse portrait). But there is an issue with the builtin lock - it unlocks screen answer/ignore buttons on an incoming call. I have many missed calls with phone being in the pocket and starting to ring, then ignore button presses and the call goes to voicemail. Is there a better way to lock the screen?

Also, would be nice to see use of light sensor - for the same reasons as above...

great brins0： I desire you make some new features：

great brins0： I desire you make some new features：

1、run gyrator as a service，not only run background. because sometimes gyrator quit accidently.

2、I want “phone - incoming” can activate two events concurrent ：

device orientation “portrait” ，then simulate keypress “send”

device orientation “face download” ，then simulate keypress “end” .

your default events settings “hang up” is for “phone”，not for “Phone - Incoming”. If I change to “Hang Up (Phone),Phone - Incoming ,1,16,128,,115”，“Hang Up ”or”pickup“ only one can be activated，which be promoted before another.

underlying is my events defined：

Stylus In,*,2,1087,2,/Windows/Default.wav,0

Stylus In (Lock),*,2,1087,64,,0

Stylus Out,*,2,2111,2,/Windows/Default.wav,0

face down suspend,*,1,16,64,,0

Disable (Opera),Opera,1,1,1,,0

Disable (Manila),Manila,1,1,1,,0

disable spb shell,SpbNow_MainWindow,1,1,1,,0

Disable (Teeter),TEETER,1,1,1,,0

Disable (YouTube),HTCYOUTUBE,1,1,1,,0

Disable (Camera),IACSP20_Main,1,1,1,,0

Pickup Call (Phone),Phone - Incoming,1,1,128,,114

Hang Up (Phone),Phone - Incoming ,1,16,128,,115

disable phone,Phone ,1,1,1,,0

disable incoming call,Phone - Incoming,1,1,1,,0

Rotate,*,1,63,1,,0

3、I want gyrator can simulate keypress ”power off“ ，the key is on top of diamond. press this key is better than ”suspend device“，because sometimes if gyrator make the action ”suspend device“，the light of diamond touch panel is on however,but we want the light is off.

Hi,

i have a question to the Gyrator 2.

I use on my phone the TomTom Navigator 7. I want that gyrator 2 TomTom Navigator 7 only rotates in the landscape mode. At the moment it rotates the TomTom in all directions

I tried some settings but nothing works. I add a new event - for the application i choose of course tomtom and in the next tab i choose landscape. Stylus is not important and in the action tab i choose rotate.

Now i open tomtom but it rotates in all directions - what did i wrong?

One thing I noticed, but not a huge deal... I downloaded the newest version from your site yesterday and I experienced, what I believe was, a memory leak in your app. It was taking up 2.4 megs of ram after 6 hours of use. Soft reset fixed that though. (I am on a Sprint Tocuh Pro)
