Indeed

Indeed.

Anyway to make my problem more specific.

First i had an older version of gyrator ( I dunno which one anymore )

Now i've uninstalled this one and installed the newest that was UNDER the page! :p

I usually want programs like this to boot up when the phone starts.

So i did, went to the windows folder and pasted the shortcut in startup.

In the old version i didn't receive any error messages at the start up .

Now with the newest version I did actually the same and it tells me that gyrator2.exe has an critical error and that i need to contact the programmer.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] matt_jackson:
Whoot :confused:

How do u read? From right 2 left - from down 2 top? ..... Wayne btw OT..

(but I get your point ;) )

So i did, went to the windows folder and pasted the shortcut in startup.

The way is right... Have u look after uninstall in Programms/gyrator2/....all files delete?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] hivesnl:
yep, the whole program folder of gyrator2 is empty.

I would like to have this version. But i will downgrade instead because i had an event.dat file that was configured correct *also without flipping manilla all the time*
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] ljazzo1:
Don't say silly things

To all here!! gyrator is working well but only when the device (in my case HTC Diamond) is unlocked. When the device is locked then you cannot control gyrator. I wrote it here already many times and no one seems to read and understand it at all. You can read the forum here or the orignial FAQ and there is no information about when the device is locked. For me it definitively doesn't work in locked mode .. try and show me i am wrong

PLease don't say gyrator need to set up in the right way , first try and then complain to other people like:

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] brins0:
There's no need to get irate about it. I've already mentioned a few times how to prevent rotation when the device is locked, and I have also explained the consequences of the fix to many people on these forums.

You want to prevent rotation when the "Lock" screen is focused, correct? Have you ever simply tried using the learning feature to get the window class for the lock screen?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] ljazzo1:
I don't get irate but when i read some answer here i really cannot accept. It seem that some poeple here was born as professor and want tell other people how to leave.

again: i said gyrator is working well, i know how to handle it but once i set all my application and they are working / turning well in unlocked mode , i have problem in locked more because they are still turning the screen even in locked mode.... this is what i don't want.

Anywy, i am getting tired of it. Please respect people who are not on the same level or don't have enough know how like some PROFESSORS here.

2008.10.14.2

I'm still working with version : 2008.10.14.2

I've got a event.ini that is only working with this version and this one is configured to start with bootup and this one is not messing around with manila. The only option that i have add is that i'm able to put in the stylus in order that it locks hisself. It's the only application where i use the stylus lock.

In every other version i cannot adapt my events.ini.

Otherwise the interface is different now and i tried the newest version but the above options were the most important for me, which he's doing great in this above version.

I had problems with the stock rom that my phone shutsdown when my phone was inactive for a long while. Since ROMeOS 1.40.1 this problem is vanished.

Reason why i share this information?

Because I think this could be useful for some of you.

If you would like to use my events.ini , please let me know.

Phone Rotation

This is a great program. I am having an issue trying to configured it so it does not raotaote when using the phone. Any ideas?

Thanks

Jim
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] TERmp77:
ljazzo - see if this can help out a little bit.

Try opening Gyrator, select Menu>Options>Events then remove the event that says Rotate. That should be all you have to do to stop it from rotating when Gyrator locks your phone.

If thats not what you need or what you mean, ask again and I will see if I can try and figure it out for you.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] TERmp77:
Jim, you will have to add an event for incoming calls and have another phone handy.

This is what I did, hopefully it works for you. I removed the stylus, then opened Gyrator, select menu>options>events then press and hold to add an event. (which you probably know that much) ok anyways, press and hold on New Rule, select Orientation then press and hold again, select edit event. Event Name = Disable (incoming - phone)...application tap learn window class, now from another phone call your Diamond and when it rings and shows the phone mode insert the stylus and hand up the call. Now under the Orientation tab, nothing is selected, under stylus tab, nothing is selected, and events tab nothing is selected. Then promote the event near the top. Hopefully it works.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] ljazzo1:
thank you for the hint i already tried what you wrote here. As i wrote here already i can do all what i want, the only thing is i wish i can stop rotating when my device is locked. If i remove the event that say rotate then is true gyrator stop when the device is locked but also when the device is unlocked.

just an example: i use Tomtom and i want TomTom turn when in landscape mode.

Rotate event is selected to orientation (1) - Overwiew Any Windows * - Orientation Portrait[x],lanscape[x]..... - Stylus [ ] [ ] - Events Rotate Screen [x]

I start TomTom and i can turn to landscape when the device is unlocked. Now i lock my device but my device still turn. Now i remove the event that says Rotate and i create a new event for TomTom ... i can make it work but i cannot say ...device locked = don't turn

locked or not locked ...gyrator does not recognize it , thats the fact

i am really sorry i cannot explain in another way , i really tried all way
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] bhtpoc:
Thanks for the reply...

however i do not have an event called rotate

Great work brins0

Could you to add support for AppToDate in the next release?

Thank you!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] sfld:
I have two quick questions.

First being, whats the easiest way to get this to startup each time i restart my phone?

Second. i installed a custom events.ini that doesnt let me rotate the phone and so on... however i lost the default option of unlocking and locking the phone via the STYLUS being pushed in and out..

can anyone tell me how to do this?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Sirupflex:
Hi all,

It's my first post and first of all I'd like to thank brins0 for his great work.

I have an HTC Touch HD and Gyrator2 just works perfectly well. Had to figure out some tricks to have all (most) windows rotated / not-rotated as I needed to but now I have it. It adds so much value to the device, unbelievable that HTC didn't integrate this functionality as part of their software.

I have one little question, though, similar to "sfld":

How do I make Gyrator2 loading automatically and correctly at device start-up? I copied a shortcut into the "windows/autostart" folder. Gyrator2 indeed starts ... but does not react on rotation. When looking at it's main screen it shows:

Orientation: <orientation>

Stylus: <stylus>

When I take out the stylus, it then shows "Stylus Out", etc. but nothing changes for "Orientation" when I rotate the device. When I manually load Gyrator2 it works perfectly fine. Looks like the initial "trigger" or "connection" to the G-Sensor Events is not established upon autostart. Did I do anything wrong? Or can this be changed in the software?

At last, I'd like to repeat a wish somebody else already wrote:

Would be great if we could use wildcards ("String*" or "*String") for the Window Title / Class. E.g. the fullscreen window of Win Media Player has the Class "PlayerFullScreenWindowClass-xxxxxxx" where xxxxxx changes. This caused me some problems and forced me to change my approach (from "disable list, rotate rest" to "enable list, don't rotate rest" ... which again showed some other challenges).

Again, thanks a lot for this great tool!

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Turniptable:
Hello all... been trying to figure this out, read most of this thread but to no avail.

I Have an HTC touch Diamond from Telus (CDMA), and I have been trying to get Gyrator 2 to work properly. It works fine from startup if i turn my phone on and off... however, it seems after a random interval of time it stops working. The screen will rotate for a second, then rotate back and crash whatever program I was in.... I think this might have something to do with the sleep function?

Anyways, if i close gyrator and start it up again it will just continuously crash whatever program it is rotating... same thing, rotates for a second, program crashes. Gyrator is not crashing, remains running.

I was thinking this was something to do with the fact that I have a telus phone... If so are there any accelerometer rotation options for me? Thanks.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] brins0:
I have a similar rule in my setup, which will allow it to rotate into anything, so long as the stylus is removed. To do what you want to do, stick with the same name and window class you have there, leave the orientation as any, but change the stylus to "removed", and make sure it is only enabled for "orientation" events. This should fix your problem.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] brins0:
I have never experienced this bahaviour myself, so I would suspect that it's to do with another program that is running on your device. It may be one you ahve isntalled, or one which is built into the rom. I'm afraid without being able to re-produce the problem, I can't analyse it to find it's cause.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] payner96:
Same issue here on the Telus CDMA diamond. It works for about half of the day, then crashes programs upon switching to landscape after a certain undetermined interval of the phone being in sleep mode. Soft reset makes the program work fine again though (just a slight bit redundant constantly restarting all day). I have a feeling it has to do with the way the telus ROM is programed and integrated to use the accelerometer. What are the odds that this would be fixed using a cooked ROM?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] skonvols2k:
i don't understand so i need 2 events? one inserted and one removed ?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Turniptable:
Ok, after some testing I'm pretty sure it is active sync that is crashing it. if i close activesync, it works fine.

My question is now (and forgive my newbness), do i need activesync running on my phone at all times? thanks.

now activesync is running and its working :S
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] mrfrank:
It may seem unrelated, but where did you install gyrator and/or .net 3.5?

If any of them are installed on the internal storage (the 4GB one) maybe something is happening in sleep mode after a long time in the Telus ROM so that after waking up the device the Internal Storage is not accessible immediately causing some strange behaviour.

Have you tried installing both on the phone memory?

I could be completely wrong, but worth a try.

Cheers

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Mister Q:
Any way I can set the program up on my Touch HD to only rotate when I'm composing an SMS? I've searched the forums but not found exactly what I have to do :(
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Turniptable:
Both are installed to the phone memory.

As an update it is now not working again... its so strange. I have no programs running in the background.... And disabling activesync isn't fixing it this morning. It seems completely random if it works or if it crashes.

So strange.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] brins0:
No, you need a single rule, for the TomTom class as you have there, enabled only for orientation in any orientation, turn rotate on and specify stylus removed.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] joshu:
I have a Telus CDMA phone with the same issue. Sometimes it works flawlessly and other times it kicks you back to portrait and exits back to touchflow. I think this is where the issue lies. I use it mainly with email and it has something to do with how the email app returns to touchflow or something in that integration. The odd part is that when it starts to work, no combination of playing with it causes the problem. Then it just start acting up again.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] ulischultz:
I have the problem on the Touch HD, that with the default settings, my Opera Browser first rotates to landscape when turning the device to landscape as it should.

Then after 2-3sec it rotates back to portrait even if the device is still holded in landscape.

Any idea?

Change keyboard style with gyrator?

Hi all,

gyrator works fine for me in rotating e.g. Tomtom to landscape when device is turned.

Now I am asking myself, if it is possible to define the on screen keyboard style depending on "stylus status" using gyrator.

I would like to get "full qwerty" when i open the on screen keyboard with stylus out, and "compact qwerty" when stylus in.

Is this possible?

Thanks and regards,
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] joshu:
After more fiddling, the problem is definitely related to TF3D. After disabling it, Gyrator works fine on the Telus CDMA version. The odd thing is that once in a while, it works fine even with TF3D. I've tried launching outlook from the program menu or tf3d and starting Gyrator before or after. It doesn't seem to make a difference. I'm pretty sure there is a force portrait code in tf3d, since when I used the manual screen rotate program, whenever I finished and email and it returned to tf3d, it would revert to portait.

If anyone has a registry key or patch for tf3d to disable their rotate control, that would be awesome.

Hello- I absolute love the app, but I am having one problem.

I'm running a Sprint Touch Pro with the latest version of your app and .net 3.5. I'm trying to add an event where the album program will not rotate with the stylus out and will rotate with it in. I've tried a couple dozen different things and I can't get any to work. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Yerry:
Some thoughts

Hi Guys,

I have some ideas how Gyrator could be improved.

Allow events for any hardware buttons

Allow them to be conditioned by orientation and stylus in/out

Allow events for multiple pressing and long pressing

And maybe the easiest of all of them: Allow event on multiple inserts

of stylus. (Insert it thrice and it resets the device for instance, or unlocks the

screen)

Also it would be great to force rotation for some apps, ignoring totally

the g-sensor. E.g Word is started and it automatically switches to landscape mode

Aside from that THANKS FOR THAT GREAT APP!!!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Turniptable:
I would LOVE this. All i want gyrator for is for mail/texting really... you know, using the keyboard. if it just automatically rotated in the compose message dialog it would be fantastic... and would get around the fact that gyrator doesnt work with telus models :D

Sorry for asking what has been asked already.... but I'm not going to read all 83 pages to find out :(

I have an mp4 which I want to watch. I hold the phone in portait, open the file and then rotate the phone to landscape to watch. It then rotates the movie so it's wrong and I only see half the screen and its out by 90 degrees.

So, I go to Gyrator 2 and edit and event I have called movies. I have all the orientation's unticked, everything unticked. I then go to application and double click 'Album' (Its the album icon I see on the mp4 file).

This doesn't work though. I've tried with Windows Media Player... and GS Player. Nope.

Auto rotate to touchflo 3D using rivit's theme?

I noticed rivit has updated the Black HTC theme with landscape support.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=430174

Now when I slide out my keyboard I get the landscape 6 icon screen.

I haven't been able to figure out if Gyrator replicate this event or not... so that when my Fuze is rotated to landscape while in touchflow/manila it switches to touchflo/manila's landscape screen.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] wavezero:
Is there a way to permanently exclude an orientation? I will never use the inverted portrait view. I often keep my phone upside down (in my pocket or cup holder) and when I turn it on or answer it- it's inverted portrait. It will stay that way back to the home tab and I have to open a new app and then rotate it to get it back to portrait.

HELP!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] brins0:
Yes, in the default rule at the bottom of the event list, simply uncheck "reverse portrait" in the orientation list, and save the event.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] brins0:
Just a heads up..

I'm releasing a new version shortly which will allow you to chose any key to press when an event fires. The usual event structure remains the same for applications, orientations and stylus conditions.

I'm just in the process of testing and documenting the new features, will try and do some vigourous testing if I can, but I usually miss something...

Testing so far confirms that events are saved correctly to the list, and loaded into it, as well as them being saved and loaded from the configuration file correctly. Editing works correctly in all conditions, and the correct keypress is sent to the system when the event fires.

Remember, it is still freeware, so don't flame me when a problem occurs... It'll never be dangerous, just irritating...
