And for the video? How do you explain the stutter w/ gyrator enabled? And even though I have the album rotate disabled in gyrator, it's still slow to render the screen.

And what happens behind the scenes in your software or in HTC's software does not matter to the end user. The end user wants things to work, work fast, work stable. I work for a very large web application project and deal with millions of rows of data being returned in seconds. If a search is slow, the end user will not find the "well, we have a lot of data" excuse to their liking. They want it working the way they want it and that is our job. And keep in mind, the end user IS WHO WE PROGRAM FOR. So... the end user has gyrator enabled and sees a decrease in speed in their album rotating and in the video playback. End of story.

Don't get me wrong... valiant effort in software design. And I respect you for constantly updating and upgrading your software. I uninstalled it, but with wishes to come back to it in the future. For the time being, I'd take the speed over rotating any window I want.

Hi brins0,

what do you think about the following additional changes:

- adding a learning mode for G-sensor to "Orientation" tab that allows customized positions like 45°

- adding a combination of "Orientations" to create something like gestures

examples:

- "portrait to landscape" = pick up the phone

- "portrait to reverse landscape" = hang up

- turn portrait 45° to the right = next page

- turn portrait 45° to the left = previous page

and please add a "run application" to action tab ;)

anyway...its a pretty cool tool !!!

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] newone757:
sorry if its been asked but is there a way to disable rotation when the keyboard is out?? sometimes i use the phonein bed laying on my side and i hate it rotating while im tryin to type. Im pretty sure if the kwyboard is slid out we want it in landscape mode.. any help??
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] odub303:
Brins, I know you're probably busy, but I was wondering if you saw this and gave it any thought. I have managed to get the program running perfectly with the exception of the screen still rotating in the phone app and manila but ONLY when the key lock is engaged. My top two rules are disable manila and disable phone, and neither manila nor the phone app rotate any other time except when the key lock is engaged (like when I receive a phone call or make a hands free call while the key lock is engaged). Surely there must be something simple I am overlooking? Any help is much appreciated. Thanks!

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] brins0:
I'm afraid there's no way at the moment, that I can find of working out if the device is locked or not... All you can do, is add "dialog" to the exceptions list, but this will prevent other applciations such as the messaging screen from rotating, unless you add further rules for them too... I am still looking into it however, so keep checking back.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] newone757:
any help please??
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] odub303:

Are you going to fix an issue with "tape and hold" difficulty in landscape mode (Touch HD standard settings)? Thank you for posting the answer in advance.

PS: "tape and hold" works OK in portrait mode only
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] k1sr:
I'm not sure if anyone else is having trouble getting this program to launch on start up...?

Not an issue if you never turn your phone off, but I schedule a soft reset every night, which I know a lot of people do to release memory...

Of course you don't want to have to restart this program everytime you start your phone...

To get around the issue add Gyrator 2 to your start menu - this will create a link in /windows/start menu - now go into that folder and copy the link to /windows/startup - this will open Gyrator 2 on start up - you can now remove it from your start menu, as you don't need it there.

To further 'clean up' the process, open up Task Manager and add Gyrator 2 to your Exclusive Programs - this way it won't show up (nor can you accidentally close it) if you open the task bar. Also, in Gyrator 2, select: Menu - Options and tick 'Hide window when application starts' - this will keep it in the background from startup, so you'll hardly know it's there...

Hope that helps...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] slovoflud:
well done! Great App!

here's my little problem:

Event:

rotate 180 = switch off device (manilla not excluded)

works great, the probelem is when i turn Diamond on, it stais turned over.

I've then created another event: if rotated 180 then rotate - works fine BUT only if I tilt it properly back to Portrait mode (doesn't rotate back while in Intermediate state..)

any help, please?

hope I make sense... I'm a bit concerned, 'cos I've just read what I've written.. :)

Reference for Keypresses

This is a great app - got a question though: can someone point me to a list that tells me what each of the keys actually means? Ie the keys you can simulate a key press of?

Am trying to see if there's a keypress for the volume up/down buttons so I can switch my HD to silent if I flip it over ;)

Any help would be greatly appreciated

great app.

Has anyone else experienced rapid battery drain using this app? If so, are there any known solutions?

The only custom apps I was running were this and s2u2. I was quick to blame s2u for my battery drain, but I'm still experiencing it today just running this app :(
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] shad0w77:
I did. Unfortuantely, had to uninstall do to the battery drain and some jerkyness in the video playback when rotating device (eventhough "album" was on the ignore list). But still here looking and hoping for newer versions.

Alltel Stylus Sensor???

Im trying Gyrator2 newest release...and i cant get my Alltel Touch pro to recognize the stylus?

Anybody having this issue? Is alltel missing the stylus sensor or do i have a defective Phone? Or maybe does one of the tweaks programs have an effect? Anyone...I loved gyrator on my diamond and am dissapointed i cant get it to learn programs on my pro...HELP
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] shad0w77:
With Gyrator2 open (on that black screen), try removing the stylus, ALL THE WAY OUT, and putting it back in. Does it recognize then?

Solution for the phone start!!

Hello,

As anyone found a solution for the start of Gyrator on the startup of the phone so that effectively gyrator starts to rotate things??

brins0, please make this fix!!! It's important that Gyrator can do this properly!!!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] obender:
In the latest version there are already entries for Call Incoming, Call history and Phone. Add those events (same way as other disable entries) and promote them all the way to the top.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] obender:
Currently only one thing bothers me. When phone in a sleep mode and then woken up by any notification (SMS, Meeting, etc) then it rotates to whichever position the device is in at the moment.

No turns out the Stylus Sensor on my PRO was just plain broken...I returned it to Alltel...Although i think the guy thought i was crazy even mentioning that there was a stylus sensor :eek: and even more astonished that even if there was one it was enough to make me return the phone.:p

Alright, I've been trying to figure this out, I've read a great portion of this thread as well as the website, but admittedly, I'm not well versed in anything other than clicking "Ok" to change a program setting.

What I would like to do is prevent the phone from rotating the screen while the telephone keypad is up, while I'm dialing or on a telephone call. I'm not sure, but I think I set that to "0"? Is this correct?

If anyone could tell me how to do this I would be very thankful.

Thanks!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] track1cs:
Firstly, I LOVE THIS PROGRAM.

One thing I would like is the ability to force the orientation of a program, some dont like running in landscape, cuz they were intended for portrait. Also I want certain screens to face a certain way when they come up, right now as it seems you have to rotate to that orientation, and then it kinda locks there. If there is a way to do that already sorry.

Also instead of the sound selector that is currently installed could a browser be used instead? I have not been able to pick a custome sound.

Thanks

Sort of figure this out too. Just used windows title "Reminder".
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] vexingv:
totally agree. there are times when i'm lying in bed and i switch between applications that have landscape enabled and portrait-only b/c landscapes messes it up. i have to sit up in bed or manually turn the phone so the app goes to portrait mode. it'd be great if gyrator could enforce orientation rules and rotate apps automatically.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] brins0:
I've already commented on this many times before. It is possible, but the only way I have found of doing this so far, is to continually check the current window to see if it matches any of the rules. Whis would require checking every single rule in th elist, every say... 1000ms. Now people already complain about the supposed battery usage problems (which don't actually exist) so what would people say about this kind of system polling?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] yoggi2:

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] SComp23:
What trouble are you having, the screen rotating when the phone is in use? Mine used to rotate when the keypad was on the screen and on incoming calls. If this is your issue, change your settings to this:

Disable (Phone) 1

Disable (Incoming-Phone) 1

Make both of these events, and delete the 2 other phone events, I think they were called Hang Up and something else. Promote these events to the top in the order I listed them here.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Radek Hulán:

Great app! I'm having trouble with the rotation during calls as well. I've tried to read as much of this enormous post as I could but there's a lot of info and I'm very green. I tried to enable two new Disable rules-"Phone" and "Incoming-Phone" but the screen still rotates. Also when I lock the device with the stylus in/out it does not stay locked with an incoming call? Kinda the most important time for the device to stay locked (IMHO) to prevent accidental call answer/ignore. Am I missing something or is the app not designed to stay locked with incoming calls?

Any help is much appreciated.

Can anyone gives me a step by step procecure?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Zekeman:
I have a question. Love this APP! I have set a rule Lock Phone When Flipped Down. I got it to work even in Manila, by promoting it to top. I also set it to vibrate when I do this. Here is my issue. When "Disable Manila" is on the event list it does not vibrate with my new EVENT which btw is promoted to the top. When I take off Disable Manila which obviously leaves a horrible effect in Manila, the vibrate does work now with the phone flipped down. Anyone have any suggestions how I can keep Manila Disabled with Gyrator but also get my quick Vibrate when I flip phone down to lock?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] lexluthor:
I don't want to always run gyrator2. I find it a little confusing to make new rules and it flips around when I don't want to too often.

I wouldn't mind leaving it installed though, but I don't see a way to not load at device startup.

Is that possible? If not, it really should be added so that people can still use it, but not always use it (yes, I know I can just easily unload it after a soft boot, but that's not really the right way to handle it).
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] iknowsquat:
@SComp23:

Thanks! Looks like it works, you da Man (or Woman)!

Now to my other issue:

Can anyone tell me a way to get the device to stay locked when a call comes in. Gyrator will activate the HTC device lock with the stylus in/out action ( or I can do it by assigning the action to the Long Push End Key) but the phone will unlock itself when a call comes in. Kinda defeats the purpose as it's easy to push the wrong button as I pull the phone out. I currently use S2U2 which is a nice app but if I can kill two birds with one stone.....

Any help to this newbie would be greatly appreciated!

hi Nice programm, but I have 2 problems. one is the problem with touch flow rotating and that makes it hard when you get incomming calls. I know it is the Dialog screen. But I dont want to dissable that. The main reason I took this programm was because of the landscape sms function.

Second because touch flow rotates my g alarm doesnt work. When the alarm goes on and the phone is rotated g alarm wil get an hang up and the phone doenst do anything and you have to do a soft reset.

I tried to add g alarm to the event list and g alarm the programm doesnt rotate but when phone is to sleep and wakes up for an alarm it still rotates.

How difficult would it be to add ability to launch a program on rotation?

I want to change SIPs depending on screen orientation. Sipswitch.exe can do the trick, but something has to launch it. Gyrator currently can play sound files, but an ability to execute something would be a nice addition.

[2008.12.10.1] New version!

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

You can now use wildcards in the window title/class box to make customisation simpler. The wildcard you should use is "<*>". I have chosen this to eliminate the possibility if the string naturally ocurring in a the title/class. I will take the phone window as an example:

Where as before you would have to have two seperate rules, one for "Phone " and another for "Phone - Incoming" you can now replace both of these with a single rule containing "Phone<*>". This works at either or both ends of the string you have entered, but not in the middle.

"Phone" - OK

"Phone<*>" - OK

"<*>Phone" - OK

"<*>Phone<*>" - OK

"Ph<*>ne" - NO

This should help solve the problem of dynamically generated window titles for folk that it was affecting. The rules and events work as before, and you can use your existing events.ini file, although you will have to copy it into a safe place before updating.

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

Remember: I keep Gyrator 2 free for people to enjoy, but I have spent alot of my personal

time rebuilding the library and program to keep you, the user, happy. If you enjoy using

Gyrator 2, and find it useful, please consider making a donation, I would really appreciate it.

Phone

Call me stupid but for the life of me I can't figure out how to exclude the phone app from rotating with this program. Other than that I love it!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Nautme:
I've got my phone set to not rotate by adding the following line to events.ini:

Disable (Phone),Phone ,1,0,0,,0

(Notice the space "Phone ," as it doesn't appear to work without it.)

I've also tried (this method rotates back to portrait if in portrait):

Disable (Phone),Phone ,1,1,1,,0

My problem is that I tend to keep my phone upside down in my pocket. When it rings, it comes out of sleep showing the home screen in portrait, then the Incoming Voice Call screen shows and immediately flips the screen to upside-down portrait. If I rotate the device, it spins around to the different orientations moving the Answer/End buttons stopping me from answering the call.

I have the home screen/manila set to only rotate on portrait (default rule) and the Phone to not rotate. What am I missing? Also, the title bar says Start during an incoming call in this fashion.
