Right, before I go completely skitzo here, and delete this entire application and give up on it. does anyone know how on earth you use the GetSystemPowerState (not GetSystemPowerStatus) P/Invoke function, and what it's header looks like. I've scoured the entire internet looking for how to find the power state. Setting it is immensely easy, yet getting it is almost impossible. who's ever heard of being able to turn a light switch on, but have no idea of whether it's on or not in the first place.

I'm doing all of this in c#, and all I can find is VB.NET code which is almost impossible to read. It doesn't help that there's 1000s of suggested ways of doing this.

As for the rest of the application, it's almost ready for release bar the irritating missing function mentioned above. stylus events ahve been added and work perfectly, although because of how the library handles orientation change, the idea of having "face down from left" as mst46 suggested is not going to happen, unless folk are happy with large polling delays, and a very long wait for me to make a polling system to accurately get the device orientation.

[2008.09.26.0] New version!

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

New features in this release include stylus usage for orientation events and other events. Performance fixes. Added delay to make it easier to flip the device over without it entering landscape mode.

New actions are available including screen off, power off and password protection (must have password set on device to use). These can be used for both stylus and orientation

Link to information post concerning the updates, as well as download information.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] StyL3-Ivan:
New Version Features (2008.09.26.0):

I have added a new set of options allowing you to get the device to do various things

when the stylus is inserted or removed form the device, as well as other things you can

make it do when you flip it over, or turn it into reverse portrait mode.

The asterisks (*) next to some of the options denote that the stylus must be inserted

before the event will fire. This makes it easier to turn the device around without triggering

unwanted effects.

I have added a new delay option to make it easier to flip the device over without triggering

landscape mode. This can be customised in the config panel on the options tab. the value

is in milliseconds, so 1000 would be a second. Default value is 250ms (1/4 of a second),

personally i've got the delay disabled.

I believe when "screen off", our screen display should go back to Today screen am i right?... If it is back to Today Screen and we disabled Manilla from rotating, I doubt the screen will rotate

and other events will still ocurr. By going back to Today Screen & disabled Manilla, everything should be fixed. :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] roisagi:
can someone explain:

how can i add a rule to exclude rotation while in phone mode + TF3D ?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Blazeitup123:
every time i goto landscape, the phone pad comes up. its the large green talk button then switches to the dialer. very frustrating right now.... ima goto bed.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] tepss:
I've just realized i don't use autorotation option often. What i use every minut is gestures control. When in the car, on the street etc i can use phone with one hand only. Thats why i suggested integrating SensorLock into it. Stylus locking still needs 2 hands. Still need 2 apps as your doesn't have a locking system and SensorLock doesn have a switching screen off option...

How does the LOCK option work? It doesnt do anything in my case?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] mst46:
I believe this is perfectly solved with the options menu. I.e. locking and standby at the

upside down or face down gesture should also solve your needs I believe?

But somehow the screen lock does not always work the way I would expect it to ...

Using "lock and standby" the device screen is never locked when switched back on

with the power button. Using "lock" only locks the device but how will I unlock it

again then ? How about using a toggle switch here ?

Also without any large tests I have the feeling that the gestures do not work as well

as in the last version. There seem to be times when I am just not able to get

"upside down" recognised as a gesture.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] tepss:
I meant locking like SensorLock: touchscreen and keys are inactive so you won't answer a call in your pocket by self pressing screen - not security lock ;)

This aplication is GREAT !!! But ... one think ... how to disable it in TF3D ? BEcause after rotating TF3D the error pops up :/

thats the reason why for now... (of course if rotating in TF3D can`t be disabled) ... this aplication is useles ... GREAT but until i can disable somehow tf3D like in gsen ... useless ... so is it possible ? ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] tepss:
On page 3 of this topic it was said already how to disable tf3d rotation (adding information to applications.ini in apps folder). You can always add it to apps lists from configuration (using stylus method).
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] 619619:
TF3D was the only program that was rotating for me :/

Rotation doesn't work on any program on my touch pro (except manila :D )

Hi,

Does this work on the HTC Touch Pro? Is there an added app I should be installing in order for it to work?

No matter how I flip and twirl this darn phone... nothing happens :eek:

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] roisagi:
does not work:

i added manila to apps list, checked it, unchecked it - screen still rotates..
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] tepss:
For me it works as demanded. Got some issue with adding apps by stylus method thus preffer editing ini file. Try to make a change (don't forget to press ACCEPT button <- Left Function Key menu) and if it is still not working restart application.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] brins0:
Yes, locking invokes the full password protected device lock, not the same function as the today screen lock. I'm still working out how to efficiently gain access to this, without having to sumulate a keypress, which is messy.

For all of the people who still can't work out how to add TF3D/Manilla to the blacklist, here is the option to add:

0,Manilla,Start

You can either create a new entry by hand in the Applications.ini file, or tap and hold in the list, and select "Add" and add it to the list through the configuration panel. The class is "Start", you can call the rule whatever you like, doesn't matter.

I think that the problem with the code I use to get the current window, is that it gets the today screen window, rather than the TF3D/Manilla one, and hence thinks that the today screen isn't active, even though it is. I don't have manilla on my device anymore, (didn't like it so got a rom without it) so I can't test this theory unfortunately.

Hello,

like your program, too. works fine in my device.

maybe you interest in adding some new features. if so, i would like to have the opportunity to make a key press event by shaking. maybe also it can be distinguish which axis you shake :-)

Is there a way to set this up so that when you rotate the main Touch Flo screen to landscape the screen when the keyboard is out will pop open. Hopefully that makes sense
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] frigide:

Is it also possible to activate a program with a key that is activte with gyrator. For example when i turn my Touch HD in home screen i press X with gyrotor and start a program?

Buttons / Keys List

I read it so often here - someone who needs the Button list for whatever ..

i needed it cause my local provider (O2 Germany) deleted the mute on face down option ..

so a made a new event for the app "Eingehender Anruf" (incomming call) by learning the Window Title and selected Orientation Face-Down, ignored Stylus and assinged Keypress 118 (Volume down button), works great !!!

ahh and after all the list http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb431750.aspx

1) when running resco explorer and contacts together and i try to rotate the one i opened 2nd it seems to be bringing up the 1st one

2) same thing happens with opera but this time the programs tab comes up when i go into reverse potrait mode and reverse landscape mode???

not sure what else causes these issues

any ideas????

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] brins0:
As i've said many times before, I don't have an HTC Raphael to develop with, so this isn't likely to happen.

Also, the project is not dead, there is currently no need for a new version, as there are no bugs that I can fix, and no features which I can add, due to my inability to test device specific hardware. People keep asking for shaking and such, and i've also replied to this stating that it would require quite a large re-write of the back end to work this functionality into it.

Sorry if awnsered

First off let me tip my hat this app def works better than gsens. Now I dont know if this has been answered yet, but is there a way or a plan to implement in future build hide/minimize to tray? I love it but do not like how I keep killing it when I x out my apps.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] TruthAEE:
What you want to do is put the cab file ( the file you open and extracted ) on the phone then use file explorer to locate and tap or double tap on the cab file.

search for guides on basic use should help immensely
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] zeha:
OK, first I'm very glad to hear, that the project isn't dead. :-)

Let me try to persuade you, to dare the much work, rewriting parts of the backend.

I think Gyrator is leastwise one of the most powerful applications creating event actions while using g sensor. And it consumes less battery power than all other I know.

That is already the most important reason, why I don't want to use G-Controller [http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=429569] (don't like to be wired, because permanently need of charging).

I really think this option can be very useful for Gyrator, and many users here.

And its shown that many people like your Gyrator (look at the post count in this thread :-) )

So I really think that Gyrator is it worth to become a new feature. :-)

Sorry for bring this topic up again. I wont say anything more, if you still don't like the idea. But I really hope you like it. ;-)

Kind regards,

zeha

i hope no one minds, but i couldnt search through the hundred or so pages anymore... can anyone give me instructions on how to enable landscape for text messaging? i was able to install gyrator, but i couldnt understand how to use it :(
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] zeha:
After install gyrator 2 you only should rotate your device, and every app should rotate, too, if you don't create a disable-event.

You should be sure running gyrator 2.

You should have an event called "Rotate ..................... 1".

Well, at the risk of incurring your wrath, here's a useful feature request that should be pretty easy to implement...

How about adding Screen Toggle to the actions list, alongside

16 - Device Lock

32 - Screen Off

64 - Suspend... hmm?

Screen Toggle is pretty useful, I find it better than Screen Off, because I can then just repeat the action/orientation to turn the screen on and off. For me that is to turn the phone face down to toggle the screen on/off (saves a little wear and tear on the power button). I don't even need to press the power button to suspend either, I set the suspend action to the reverse portrait orientation.

Whaddya think?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Markostrom:
I have to say this is the most usable application I have seen for years. HTC should be paying the author! The only thing I cant work out is event adjustment. Its perfect in everyway so far as I can see but I just want to disable the phone from moving around while I'm on it. Any time I attempt to make event adjustments, all settings go wonky, few applications work and those that do only work with the styles inserted. In the end I have just reloaded it and left it as it is and I'll put up with the phone movement. Maybe I am missing something?

How do you configure this on startup after softreset?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] cancar:
Startup of Gyrator2 in languages different from English

For all the people that have problem to start-up gyrator2 automatically.

If you add a link in the startup folder you later find that the orientation is not sensed correctly unless you start the program manually a second time.

You don't need to add anything: the startup key is already added when you install the program in

"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\BootLauncher\Apps\"

Hovever the key is incorrectly set to "\Program Files\Gyrator2" while the program is installed in the program folder with the localized name (for ex. in Italian is "\Programmi\Gyrator2")

You just need then to edit the key and correct the folder name to enable the auto-start, at least unless this bug is fixed in a next release.

Issue when face down to suspend

I addicted in this app as it can enhance all the other applications which are not supporting automatic rotation and it acts in a prefect way.

Some issues I found (for HTC diamond with stock rom) when use the face down event to "suspend the device":

1. Not always suspend the device. I found sometimes it firstly blank the screen and the device come up again. This may due to HTC hardware as I found similar situation when pressing power buttom althrough not very often.

2. When Gyrator suspends the device, it may cause no sound in Audio Manager even the song is still playing (I need to soft reset in this situation). I disabled Gyrator and no longer has this issue. This may relate to the suspend function call used by Gyrator (of course, HTC may has some hack in WM when Audio Manager is playing). Currently, I can only use "blank the screen" instead.

I also has the following suggestions for enhancement:

1. Disable Gyrator when the screen is off. I found the Gyrator still "vibrate" even I used it to blank screen. It is also no point to rotate if the screen is off.

2. Allow to "trigger other application" for event detected.

Finally, I must say this is very very good application that you can't miss it.

Thanks

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] dack42:
This app is excellent! I have found one small bug, however. When using Gyrator to suspend the device, it doesn't turn off the keypad LEDs before suspending. For example:

- Set Gyrator to suspend when the device is upside-down

- Press a button on the keypad (such as home) - the keypad lights up

- Before the keypad light turns off, turn the device upside-down

- The lights will stay on until you take it out of suspend

If you do the same thing but suspend by pressing the power button, the lights turn off.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] catus23:
there are known issues with the touchflo interface. Normally screen rotation is completely disabled on the diamond to remove any possibilities of program messing up, so it's bound to cause issues i'm afraid. When I ran tests on my device, I didn't come across any errors, although I have completely removed TF3D from my diamond.

i've been using this program since november and it's been great. i primarily only use it to rotate certain applications. i've noticed that from time to time after my phone has been running w/o a soft reset for a couple of days, gyrator will cease to work. the application is still running, but does not sense rotation. inevitably, i have to restart the application. it's a bit of an annoyance. also any ideas about program updates (if there can be any left to improve) as it has not been updated since 11/08.

Great program, but I'm having some trouble with the phone on my HTC Touch HD.

How do I configure the app so it leaves the phone application alone and stops rotating it? Is there an easy way to configure it so it only rotates the programs I want it to?

How do you disable the app from working on certain programs? I've checked through the forum and am thus far at a loss.
