Strange issue, cause when PDA is off the sensor driver is off too, so gyrator can't read sensor values in this state ... I have no battery higher consumtion with Gyrator, for me is normal, 3-4% less battery for all night. Have you tested without the battery meter software? what battery meter app do you use?

brins0,

thanks so much for the device lock function! You make me feel that I should donate more!

I noted that in the previous version, the manilla always get rotated, I will monitor if it's the same in this version.

SMS troubles

Hi -

I can't prove that this is related to Gyrator, but since installing the latest version I have twice encountered strange behavior that I have never seen before: an SMS is recieved at some point, but the device doesn't sound the alert. The next time I manually turn on the device from sleep - the alert is immidiatly sounded.

This app looks great. Why cant I install it AT ALL :( Just says instal unsuccessful. I tried it on a brand new install of ROMeOS ROM v1.13.

Incidentally, tried installing .net 3.5 and have same issue so something bigger at large here. Any ideas please?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Archer:
Alright mate. I have this problem, and have always had it with both SMS & emails (hotmail account - dunno about outlook). I've got a Touch Diamond (assuming you've got the same), and I've searched and found that this is a common problem. I had this problem before I even heard of this app, so I can guarantee that it's not associated.

On a side note, if you do ever find any answer to this, would you mind messaging me on here (if you remember ;))

Cheers,

John.

The battery meter software is acbtaskman. The reason that I even ran this test is that once I installed gyrator my battery started dying overnight way more then before I installed it. I like the program but I can not use it with this problem. (for me and apparantly no one else)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] dhlmaster:
Thanks for this nice tool. I have a suggestion if that is possible:

-have a certain orientation for specified applications. e.g. Google Maps always landscape or the today screen always in portrait mode (i find it really annoying to have the today screen in landscape mode because it get those ugly scrollbars)

Greetings

Delay

Hi,

I really miss the option to have an event fire up after a delay.

I was trying to set up the device to suspend on face down.

However, I want it to be in the face down for at least 1 second before it goes to suspend mode.

Otherwise, my device always goes to suspend mode when I try to give it a 360 rotation with SensorLock...

A per-event delay would be REALLY great! (because I would not want the 1-second delay on rotate events, for example)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] A2E:
Well, thanks for the info. It's strange, since I've had the Diamond for quite a while and have never run into this before. I wonder what else I've recently changed... hmm... Will have to look into it.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Die Bruine:
Hey Brins0,

Thanks for making this app. Just started testing so no comments yet. Though I would like to comment the website. Maybe it's my browser (Maxthon) but when I click for the menu, the browser doesn't scroll down when the menu expands. When I try to scroll down, the menu dissapears :eek: . Luckily my laptop has a scroll down part on the touchpad otherwise I would have wrecked it. Just some good meant critisism :D

Preformance/Settings question

Hi -

At first I thought this was my imagination, but I'm now sure there's a real difference.

I've noticed that when rotating an image in the built-in Album (which is one of the only built-in gyrometer-sensitive applications, even with Gyrator off) the response to orientation changes is instantaneous. Even if you move back and forth between orientations - it's still practically instantaneous.

You can see this on the following video (I didn't make it - just found it on Google, but it really works the same on my Diamond) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EHk7ITGioO8 (or just try it yourself :-) )

However, Gyrator-dependent programs seem a lot slower in switching orientation, especially if you try going back and forth a few times. Even rotating in Gyrator's demo screen can be slow.

Is this because there's some sort of architectural difference between Gyrator and the built in OS? And is there anything I can do about this with Gyrator's settings? Or is it simply easier for the microprocessor to rotate a JPG than, say, an email message?

Thanks...

Hi,

Thanks a lot for your quick answer !

So :

"The keylock function will always work, the device lock function requires that you have a password set for the device (the one you set through the "Lock" panel in the settings panel. Also, automatic launch works fine on all of my devices, and you have to turn automatic minimise on before it will work (It defaults to off)"

I have tried to set a password for the lock function (type PIN Code), nothing change, the lock function.

I have done what you show on your video. it's my first event (Move up with "Promote") and, on right click, I have not selected Orientation and Stylus. Moreover :

* Overview => "EcranBas"

* Application => *

* Orientation => Reverse-Portrait

* Stylos => Nothing "Up"

* Events => "Activate Device Lock"

What's wrong ?

Also, to launch automatically the application with Windows, how can we do ?

Bye bye

Rotation in the HTC Album works slightly differently than it does in the rest of the system. In the HTC Album, the actual screen orientation is not changed (it always remains in portrait mode), and what is rendered to the screen is rotated, if you know what I mean... The HTC Album is drawn to the screen in a sort of full screen overlay mode, which is alot faster to change the "orientation" of, as the entire system doesn't have to be changed into landscape mode, and the screen resolution is not changed.

In a nutshell, I don't think it's possible for Gyrator to rotate the screen any faster, as it's actually Windows that's causing the delay. If you setup gyrator to vibrate or play a sound when the orientation of the device changes, then you will notice that the actions in the event are performed instantly, but the rotation command which is sent to the system, takes a short while to be completed.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] brins0:
You need to have stlyus (on the context menu) checked or else the event will be ignored. You also have to specify that you want the event to be performed in stylus insertion or the event will be performed when the stylus is removed too. (This is assuming you want to lock the device when you insert the stylus.)

Gyrator should automatically load on startup if you have not disabled the HTCAutoStart service in your windows startup folder. If you have disabled it, simply create a shortcut to Gyrator.exe in the "\windows\statup\" folder through the File Explorer.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] drtwin:
Tnx man. I forgot about exclusive list. You can add it in task manager setting without going into registry.

Just click on HTC task manager - Settings - Long press on Gyrator and select Add exclusive

This is unfortunately a problem with all web browsers. I physically can't make the website work how I want it to in all web browsers, so I chose to make it work perfectly in Mozilla Firefox (My weapon of choice) and make it function basically in other browsers.

Animated rotation is a far off dream i'm afraid. It would entail taking a snapshot of the current screen view, then I'd have to allow the screen to rotate, then take another snapshot of the screen, then render the two of them onto a 3D panel, and manipulate it, whilst performing some kind of transition between the two images. I don't know how Samsung have managed to do it so well, but they're a big company with lots of money and brains... I'm just, well, me... lol

Had to uninstall because of no-delay support.

See my msg at http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=2810387&postcount=624

Will be watching the development of this app very closely though...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] A2E:
You should add a tiny text based menu to the bottom of the page, and that way even browsers that don't support your menu will have a way to browse the site. Currently, using Opera on my Diamond, I can't get to anywhere on your site...

See HTC's home page for an example of what I mean. Or Google for that matter.

How to add app in the applications list plz ? Is it from the applications.ini file ? and if it is, how to find the class of a program ?

Actually, i have S2U2 installed, and i like it not to rotate ;)

Let's not forget that Omnia screen resolution is only a quarter of the Diamond.

That can help surely.

BTW: Great application brins0. Works like a charm.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] jcespi2005:
It's easy to do, just go Gyrator, create a new event in events option pressing the stylus and having the button touched. Select Orientation in the new rule and Edit it. In aplication tab, double tap in Learn Window Class (or Learn Window Title). Take out your stylus, and go to the aplication you want to exclude. When this app have the focus, insert the stylus... this will get you back to editing the event. Justo Apply the event and is done ;)

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] searcher61:
I still cannot stop the phone answer screens and bars to behave properly with this program. Many people have said to add Phone (with a space) and incoming - call to the list. I have done that and it still does not work. Does anyone have a copy of the fresh install config file modifed just to stop the phone from rotating? I would like to try it to determine if I am doing something wrong or is there a program that is causing the problem. BTW, I have used the learning method also, it detected it but it still does not seem to work. :confused:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] jcespi2005:
In some languajes the Windows Title differ than the english one, for example, in spanish, Phone is Teléfono, so don't choose from the list, and use Learn Windows Title instead. Works for me in a Spanish ROM/device.

Can you post your events.ini file?

Cheers
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] searcher61:
Here is a copy of my Events.ini.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] jcespi2005:
In your INI file the phone and phone - Incoming lines can be wrong if you are not using WWE ROM...

Delete both and create new ones and use Learn function.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] frodsteamin2:
thanks for this nice app, i just picked up my touch diamond yesterday after about 30 mins of deciding whether or not to get it.

I got an error in which I had to upgrade my microsoft.net compact version, the existing was dated so I got 3.5 and the gyrator works great!!!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] searcher61:
I am using the stock CDMA (sprint) ROM. Interesting in the learn the title screen name seems correct. But the Windows class says Dialog.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] ribero:
I'm having the same problem : I can add a rule to disable the screen rotation when the phone window is on focus. But I can not add a rule that match the name of the windows for an incoming call. The learn function does not work when an incoming call is in progress.

for incoming calls the window name alternate from "Appel vocal entrant" and the Operator name. I cannot "learn/capture" the windows title name or windows class name using gyrator.

Learn function works well in other situation.

In fact What I'm looking for is having the phone (in any condition : main panel, incoming call, video call, new call...) to stay in Portrait mode.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] jcespi2005:
I follow the same process as for any other event, create a new one, let Learn from Window or Class (not sure what is better, but just try both and select the best one for you), take the stylus out, call me from other line, and when the phone is ringing insert the stylus in (of course you can stop the call in this moment...)...

This is my events.ini

Stylus Out,*,2,2111,0,
Disable (Album),HTCAlbumClass,1,0,0,
Disable (VolumeControl),VOLUMECONTROL,1,0,0,
Disable (GAlarm),G-Alarm,1,0,0,
Disable (CorePlayer),CorePlayer,1,0,0,
Disable (Telefono),Teléfono ,1,0,0,
Disable (Opera),Opera_MainWndClass,1,0,0,
Disable (Manila),Manila,1,0,0,
Disable (Teeter),TEETER,1,0,0,
Disable (YouTube),HTCYOUTUBE,1,0,0,
Disable (Camera),IACSP20_Main,1,0,0,
Rotate,*,1,63,1,

As you can see only one line with Teléfono is needed for me to disable the rotate function on phone...

Other learned ones you can see are VOLUMECONTROL, HTCAlbumClass, G-Alarm, CorePlayer....

The Learn Function WORKS great for me ;)

When Gyrator locks the phone, like when putting the stylus back in, my dialer and tf3d home page will rotate. How do I stop it from rotating while locked by Gyrator?

I have the events working properly when the phone is unlocked, they stay in portrait as long as the phone is unlocked. Which I want! It's just when the stylus goes in, and the phone locks, they rotate, which I dont want.

I downloaded the current version, and it works fine for me. Much easier for me to edit events, I just cant seem to get this one.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] searcher61:
I found something very interesting. Aside from the title bars (of the phone) that I cannot seem to stop from rotating. If I have gone to settings and then advanced settings (where you can see the icons), and I get a phone call. If I wait until I think the screen with the red and green buttons should show (at this time it still shows setting ICONS), and I press on the lower part of the screen it shows the answer buttons. Its as if the answer screen is BEHIND the icon screen. I have changed MY ini to look like your but replacing phone where yours says telephono. Still no luck.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] brins0:
I really do need to get around to writing an FaQ for Gyrator, people are asking the same questions over and over again, lol...

Yes, would be great a guide for creating events (this is what most of ppl are asking...) and how use the Learn function...

And for things to include, you know i'd love to see the Gyrator in my languaje (spanish :D )... only a wish...

Cheers
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] NLS:
We definitely need a nice database of user settings and you will help that by implementing comments in the ini.

Not only to write what a line does, but also to make clear for someone that DOESN'T want some line, to not include it. :) (because plain copying some other guys ini, doesn't mean will make my machine work as *I* want)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] nitroshot:
Here's my custom Events.ini file (copy to gyrator2 under program files on your device and overwrite) that should correct any problems people are having with incoming calls, phone keypad and touchflo 3d on the diamond by forcing those applications to change/fix themselves into portrait mode if they aren't already. Solved too many headaches to count when trying to use the phone as a phone.

It will rotate fine in any other supported applications that don't poll the g-sensor on its own.

May want to consider making this a default profile in the next gyrator2 release. The current one gets stuck in landscape mode all the time if your not careful.

rotate calls

man you are a genius, rotate on incoming calls has been killing me.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Blazeitup123:
how do i stop rotation while locked?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] A2E:
Thanks, but this doesn't actually force the Phone into portrait unless you turn the device into portrait: hold the phone in landscape, then press the Call button to bring up the phone app without rotating the phone to Portrait - it'll still be in landscape. (I personally think a 1 0 0 setting is better, because that way the processor won't waste time trying to rotate the phone app on an incoming call, which can cause annoying delays and even make you miss the call).

Even worse, the problem of incoming calls when in landscape still isn't solved: if you're using a program in landscape and there's an incoming call - the Phone app doesn't even show up. You can still answer with the hardware key, but you'll have no idea who's calling you.

I don't think this is a Gyrator problem - rather, it seems to be a WM problem, with the phone app (or maybe the Diamond's phone skin) not liking landscape mode. A solution to this would be adding an option in Gyrator to rotate certain apps into a certain orientation regardless of the gyrometer.

(this will, admittedly, add another delay when the call comes in in landscape, but at least it will rotate it into Portrait and then [hopefully] the caller ID will show up)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] searcher61:
Yeah, what he said.....:D I could not put it into words...but that is what I was trying to do as well.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] BelugaHval:
I dont understand. What does this program do that gsen doesnt do?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] nitroshot:
Yes I agree it isn't the most efficient fix, but I just came up with the best solution we have at this time. Although I would disagree that 1 0 0 is better because being permanently stuck in landscape mode without a way out when you get a call or accidentally press home to touchflo is to much of pain to get out of manually.

What I don't understand about what your saying about forcing it to portrait is that there already is a delay whether it'll be forced automatically or you use the g sensor to rotate the device to that position. What I'm asking is that if you force it to portrait without the g sense wouldn't that mean your going to hold device in that manner, in which case the device would rotate it anyway (unless your just thinking of saving processor cycles by not have to poll the g sensor)? Just a thought
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] jcespi2005:
Works in newer Diamond ROMs and in my Touch Pro (GSen don't work for me...)

I haven't this problem, dialer and incoming call works fine for me, but perhaps cause TouchPro have landscape mode enable... ANyway i think is a good idea to enable the option to force the portrait mode in an specific event.

Hi there,

I'm not sure if anybody has already reported this problem but when I rotate to any new orientation (portrait to landscape or reverse_landscape back to portrait, etc) the phone application pops up in the new orientation and then goes away after a few seconds. Or...instead of getting the phone application I simply go back to Manila in portrait mode.

These problems only seem to crop up when the phone is on for a big while (i.e. doesn't happen shortly after a soft reset). I've already added phone and dialog to the events list to disable them from rotating and it works fine when I just power up the phone. I'm using a SwiftBL 7.5 Full ROM.

Here are the links to the videos that I recorded to show this problem:

Cheers.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] brins0:
I have seen and experienced this before I flashed a new rom onto my device that didn't have Manila on it. As you'll probably know, orientation is disabled by default on the Diamond, because the HTC developers are either too incompetent, or lazy, to build applications which are orientation aware. As such, strange things happen with either Gyrator rotates the screen, or you use any other application to do the same thing.

I think there is some work going on behind the scenes to sucessfully port Manila from the Raphael onto the Diamond, which may solve the problem, but i'm not holding my breath :p
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] brins0:
