hey 600GOL

i can't believe it took me this long to find this app, but thanks for your work :)!

so far so good. I don't know if mapping enable/disable to the PTT button would be best (since the general consensus around the forum seems to like having PTT mapped to comm manager and camera), but maybe if it was customizable to other buttons? that'd probably be best ;) (I like you suggestion about the long press end key option).

i was also wondering, what is the power consumption of this program? one of hte main reasons I disliked gyrator 2 is that I found it takes a heavy hit on battery life, and i'm just afraid that adding extra features to your app like lock on face down might increase the drain (since the g-sensor would have to keep polling...basically what gyrator 2 already does).

but i'd like to add that i love how simple this program is, and in fact wat's really appealing is it's "lack" of functions ....or more importantly, the usefulness of its basics. it allows control over orientation for specific apps (which is wat also drew me to this program, finally i can have GPS without my keyboard open and not worrying about it re-rotating if the phone sihfts around!) which i think is the major feature :D

but that's just my 2 cents. it's after all ur wonderful creation! i'm just sayin, as an alternative to gyrator 2, it shoudl really be kept as an alternative to gyrator 2 (ie to those who want functions that gyrator 2 already does, then use gyrator 2 :D!)
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
I can't imagine why it does this... Have you tried adding the dictionary as an exception? Maybe have no boxes checked for it?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
Tell you what... I'll have two sets of defaults. Everytime you reset defaults OR if you use the app for the 1st time and it can't find a configuration file it'll ask if you would rather rotate ONLY the exceptions or rotate everything...

What the locking will do is shut the screen off... not really "lock" the device. BUT your locking app should run when you press power to wake the device back up... (i think)
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
Yeah, I'm looking into the button mapping now... And the battery drain isn't significant at all. I honestly haven't noticed anything out of the ordinary and I can't remember anyone bringing it up...

Thanks for the input btw... I know I'd have something for you guys this weekend but its still got a little bug that I'm trying to fix. Otherwise its ready. Once I get rid of this i'll throw it up on XDA.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] kwill:
MAN, sounds perfect! and actually i didnt find it that hard to remember how to set only exceptioned apps to rotate:) the lock part is perfect as well since it will only turn off the screen and not invoke the actual windows lock, which i hate. thanks a lot again and will be waiting to try the update.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] focusman28:
I tried it but still not work :( Thanks anyway
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] -=Tavos=-:
The app works fine on my HD ... Thanks !

No bugs found yet.

But I have one idea for upcoming versions:

A backup function for the exceptions would be nice, as it is annoing to set them again for each new version.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
It leaves the config file when you uninstall so future versions will continue to use the same exceptions...
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
New Version 2.1 available

New version (2.1) available for download. Check 1st post.

- Includes the option to vibrate before rotation

- Includes the option to turn screen off when face down

- AppToDate support!

- Fixed many bugs and added warnings when you save a configuration that could possibly give "unwanted" results.

Sorry it took so long. Functionality is prettu much the same as the beta with a few of the bugs mentioned in the last couple of weeks fixed. Let me and the rest of the thread know your results!

btw - if for some reason 2.1 gives you problems you can revert back to the beta or 1.54 (also in 1st post)

...
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
Screen off not working!!!

Redownload for the fix...
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
Redownload - Issue fixed

If you downloaded before this post was up you must redownload to get the screen off on face down to function properly.

It has since been fixed and should work fine now!
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] StevePritchard:
Thanks for the release. Looks as though the "return to portrait when laid flat" bug has returned though.

Loving the vibrate on rotate (thanks!).

Cheers,

Steve.

PS. Did you get my PM?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] nitroblu:
ur doing awesome work here. don't worry about rushing out new versions (unless major bugs are fixed), don't want to see u get overworked :D
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
Haha, thats good to hear from someone! unfortunately I don't get much time to work on these sort of things but I do me best!
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
Really?! wtf! can you describe what goes on? I could have swore I fixed this as soon as you told me... I just tried on my device - Open google maps, turn to landscape, lay on table and it remains landscape. Press home and manila shows up in portrait. I assume this is what is supposed to happen, but what happens with you.

btw yes I got your PM. I'll send you my opinion on that in a little while...
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] Peaster111:
Great App.. tried Gyrator. It worked great too. This one is just right... just enough without the extras. Showing the App name takes the guess work out of naming the exceptions right. Keep up the good work.

Thanks!
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] CorruptedSanity:
Hi 600GOL,

While installing 2.1, I got the popup window to confirm if I want to remove 1.54 and install 2.1

I said yes, during the installation I the app opened and I could see 1.54 on top, anyhow I clicked save and closed it and then it said 2.1 successfully installed. But opening the app shows me 1.54 now 2.1
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] StevePritchard:
1. Open Google Maps in portrait.

2. Rotate to landscape - Google Maps rotates.

3. Lay flat, we get a vibration, and it goes portrait again.

"Laying flat", in fact, only involves going past a 45 degree angle, by the looks of it. I can slowly rock it back and forth at 45 degrees, and it flips from portrait to landscape and vice versa.

I've attached my config file, just in case it's useful.

Cheers,

Steve.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] asci:
I have installed changescreen 2.1 on my HD with last Laurentius rom.

I found two problems:

- the first one is a graphical problem since general tab doesn't show correctly overlapping the options text;

- the second one is that light off when face down option doesn't have any effect on Manila tab.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
Try uninstalling 1.54 first (thru settings) and then install 2.1

That should do it...
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
Thanks guys for the support and reporting the bugs. Steve, this issue should be fixed now if you redownload. Sorry about that it was a stupid error on my part. When I was testing it would act like you say beacuse I had all boxes checked... never tried with a config like yours... Anyway it should be fine and I'm sure you'll let me know otherwise.

I'll send you that other code when I find it... (got TONS of projects to look thru)
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
Another stupid mistake on my part. This should also be fixed if you redownload... Let me know
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] asci:
But do you mean I have to download it again from your first post at Download changeScreen version v2.1 here! ?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
Yeap! .....................
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] Peppep:
A great app, 600GOL, but AppToDate won't realize that there is any change if you fix bugs and release them with the same version/build number. :/
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
I'm pretty new to AppToDate but I thought it just works off of XML? The xml file that I host online has a higher version number (2.1.1) than the one that came with the program (2.1). I figured that would trigger the update... Let me know otherwise...
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] asci:
@600GOL

I solved it by redownloading and installing again...

THX!
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] Peppep:
You're right, I just didn't know about the change in xml since the thread still said 2.1. I'm still at 1.54, upgrading soon.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] kwill:
hey 600GL, new release is awesome especially with the face down option!! one thing for s2u2 users though. u have to go into s2u2 settings and turn on the option to lock when screen goes blank option. normally u can just leave the lock when device wakes up option on and it will work fine. but, with the screen off option u just added, when u go to wake the device up, s2u2 wont invoke because its just the screen being blank not sleep. just know that lots of folks are using s2u2 and thought id let u all know
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
Great! Let me know of any porblems!
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
Yeah, I see what you are saying. I just don;t want to confuse the hell out of people with those minor numbers so I figured I'll just change AppToDate to let it update with those minor version changes...
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
You're right, I should have included that in the description! I'll eventually find a better way to turn the screen off but for now yes, S2U2 users: follow kwill's instructions!
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] StevePritchard:
So far, so good - thanks for the update!

Cheers,

Steve.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] kwill:
no biggie and thats really not a bad way of doing it since its at least performing the function of turning off the screen to save power:)
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
Thanks guys. We'll get it right eventually!
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] cincy1020:
Hi 600:

I just installed latest version. I haven't really had time to test, but it appears as though my original bug is fixed (where program opened in portrait, then keyboard opened, then return to portrait would make tf3d stick)

I will be sure to re-post if it occurs again.

THANKS SO MUCH!
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
Glad to hear that the bug is fixed with this release. Sorry it took so long...
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] Gribouille71:
Hi 600Gol !!

What about this request ? May be I missed your answer. The new (excellent) version does not solve the problem. I guess it's not possible, right ?

thx
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
Update available...

Redownload from 1st post. Some small bugs fixed...
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] -=Tavos=-:
Nice tool so far, thanks for your work.

But I noticed a small problem with the new version 2.1.2.

I have set the program "taskfacade" (taskmanager with screenshots for quick switiching) as exception (first box checked for forced upside orientation).

When jumping to taskfacade from a rotated app (like mail), taskfacade is shown in landscape, anyway.

So the forced upside orientation, doesn't work on all apps.

As it was spelled right, i changed back to 2.1 Beta and it works again.

I would be happy, if you could fix this, as I'd like to use the new advanced functions.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
I'l look into this man, but I can't image why it would work in 2.1 beta and not in 2.1.2... Can you get me a download link for that application so I can test it out?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] -=Tavos=-:
Thanks for the quick response.

I tried it several times and I didn't have the problem with manila for example.

Seems to be something strange.

You can download the program here:

Task Facade 3.8.5

The new Beta is available here in the forum, if you are interested.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] rjmjr69:
I didnt think it was possible for an already amazing app to get even better but hey I"ll accept that it has. Thanks so much it works great for me on my TP
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
I just downloaded and installed and it shows in portrait fine on my device... Can you send me your configuration file so I can have a look... its "\Windows\changeScreen.config"
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
Ahh, rj, haven't heard from you in a while... Its great to see you're still following the development!
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] StevePritchard:
Not sure I can recreate it (not had time to try, to be honest) but I had a situation today where I used my bluetooth headset to activate Voice Command, and then did some fumbling, and the upshot was that my screen was off (as expected) but changeScreen was active - I know this because it was vibrating as my phone was changing orientation.

I found it was possible to re-create this situation more simply, by running GSPlayer, and selecting the "Display OFF" feature, and found that changeScreen still vibrates the phone while in this state, so presumably it's still rotating the screen in the background too.

It would be nice if it could at least avoid vibrating when the screen is off, even if it does have to do the rotation (that might make a bit of sense, as that way, when you switch it on, it will already be in the correct orientation).

I have to say, all of these different power states for the phone/backlight/etc is terribly confusing.

Cheers,

Steve.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
I know exactly what you are saying and I'm still looking for a fix for this. You're right, all the power states are definately a little confusing... Sorry I havn't gotten you that code yet man... @ some point today I'll try to recreate what I did the last time I was looking into it and send it to you...
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] StevePritchard:
Excellent - a fix would be great.

Don't worry about the code - I'll try and take a look when you send it through, but I'm a bit snowed under with work currently in any case.

Cheers,

Steve.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
I'll see what I can do about the fix. You've got mail btw... Have a look @ what I sent you...
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] jas1315:
AWESOME App

Just changed over from gyrator and this app is so much simpler and user friendly - great job, i love it!!

One issue that I had with gyrator as well - (sorry if this was already addressed but i couldn't find where) when the screen is turned off, and the phone is rotated, the phone will ring (or the screen will turn on for any number of reasons) and the rotation will occur. This happens with any and all apps/screens whether in the exclusion list or not. I will rotate back to the desired position and it will move back. From there it won't rotate, as specified(until the screen is turned off, rotated, and turned back on). Seems like the action of the screen turning off is overriding the exclusion.

No biggie really, just annoying. Keep up the great work man!
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] StevePritchard:
Not completely sure what you are referring to, but if you want to prevent rotation when it rings, then you can add "cprog" to the exclusion list.

Cheers,

Steve.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] jas1315:
See, that's the problem. I already have everything set up and working correctly. cprog, manila, etc. all on the exclusion list. and it works fine, except for when a call comes through after the screen has been turned off. if the phone is tilted at 90 degrees when the call turns the screen on, the screen will be rotated to landscape - even though i have cprog on the exclusion list. same goes with tfl3d or anything else that is active on the screen at the time it is turned on (whether it be a phone call or me just powering the screen on). exclusion list or not, it will rotate anyways. even the tfl3d will go into an awkward landscape look if the phone is tilted that way.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] cincy1020:
I am sad to report that the bug is still happening when on a phone call :(

If app is enabled, and I make/receive a call, the funny screen (with Manilla turned sideways and distorted, if you don't remember what I mean, I can attach a pic) shows up after I end the call. I have disabled it until further notice.

Thanks for all your hard work!!
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] StevePritchard:
Make sure your manila, actually IS "manila.exe". I tried a ROM where it was actually "mlaunch.exe".

Cheers,

Steve.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] cincy1020:
I have double checked that (it seems all exceptions are correct, cprog, phone, manila, start), thanks anyway :(
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] jmorton10:
Can somebody please tell me what I'm doing wrong??

The last two apps in this screen shot continue right on rotating no matter what I do:

I have tried with & without the checkmarks & both apps completely ignore the exception.

~John
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] owilsky:
Hi,

as far as I understood this tool, it always turns the screen but you can define exceptions.

I am looking for a tool that does NOT rotate the screen by default but where I can define some apps for which the screen is rotated.

Is this also possible for this tool?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
Sure, for your Default only check the portrait box and then add exceptions as you please... This will keep the device in portrait except for the apps you specify.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
I'm not completely sure but do those apps have built in rotations like opera or htc album? That could be the cause... Other than that just make sure the names are correct by using the Show App Names[\B] button.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] jmorton10:
Neither one has a built in auto rotation (sling has a button you can push to rotate, but it doesn't do it automatically -sms does not rotate at all) & I got the names by using the show app names button.........

~John
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] jmorton10:
That's exactly what I've been trying to do except it doesn't work in my system for some reason.

I have a Sprint TP activated on Verizon running a ROM from scrosler's latest kitchen.

~John
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
If you disable changeScreen completely do they stop rotating?

Also, what is your Default set to just out of curiosity?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] jmorton10:
Yes, they stop rotating as soon as I uncheck the enable box.

I have tried setting the default to every possible combination (I think anyway)

~John
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] owilsky:
Very cool tool, thanks a lot!!!
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
Thanks a lot! Glad you like it...
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
Can you send me your configuration file? Its "\Windows\changeScreen.config"

Feedback on 2.1 b2

The latest (2.1b2) version works like a charm for me - since the time I've installed it, no problem.

Thanks a lot! Great job.

BTW - the vibration feedback is a great feature!

(I'm writing back this late because I've had a couple of problems with my phone. Now I've managed to make it work.)
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
Thanks man. I'm glad to hear it works for you now. Thanks for the update!
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] laienN:
same here..works perfectly on my TD :)

thx a mil!
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
No problem buddy. Happy to hear that!
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] Peaster111:
600GOL... I've been following your app devel since 1.54. Wow. Great stuff. I had been having minor issues regarding the screen rotating when I was in a moving car. I'm assuming it was due due the sensor "sensing" movement and your prog auto-rotating. It seemed like a sensitivitiy thing. Today I checked "apptodate" and it said 2.1.3 was avail for update. I don't know what you updated in 2.1.3, but it is rock solid now. :D This is becoming the premier screen tilt app. thanks for your efforts.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] CorruptedSanity:
Let me announce:

I have been using this since day one and used v.154 extensively and currently using your 2.1 and I must say it is the fastest ever.

One thing though, sometimes the task bar (start icon - battery - signal strenght etc) dissapear and only reappear if I reset or manual rotate the screen. I know this is from ChangeScreen because I was without it for 10 days and it didnt happen once but IMO its not a big deal since all I need to do is rotate the screen from PBAR or through screen settings and it goes back.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
And thank YOU for using... Yeah the car thing will always be a problem (i think) because changeScreen reacts too fast. Maybe I can add a sensitivity option @ some point but I don't know how effective it'll be... Its the same thing if you jerk the phone in your hand real quick...

Glad to hear AppToDate is working too since I never tested it!
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] owilsky:
You forgot to mention what has changed in the new version :D
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] silenty:
exceptionlist

hi there,

i tested the new version 2.1 after the ohter version sometimes stop working.

my problem ist that the exceptionlist is not working for my. i added manila and start, but manila gets rotated. any ideas?

edit: problem solved!

i realized that my manila ic called "manila2" because its the hd port.

but somehow "manila" worked with this port in the previous version...
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
Just a few minor tweaks and a couple of bugs fixed... I really can't remember exactly what they were but if you look back about 6 or 7 pages you'll probably see them...
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
Glad you figured it out! In the next release I'll try to have changeScreen determine the correct name for the manila excapetion so that theres no more confusion. Sorry about that.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] MobileXMan:
600Gol, you are a great developer. Even if some things won't go fine, you still behind them to eleminate these mistakes. Good job!
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
Haha, thanks buddy. Happy to hear someone thinks that of me!
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] SprintGuy765:
Thanks. This app is CRAZY. It actually doing what's its supposed to do unlike the others.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
Haha, that WAS the point. Glad to hear I hit it on the head. Thanks man. (and you're welcome)
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] Radimus:
request for settings file to be saved in either \storage card\my Docs or \my docs and the automatically imported on new install.

Reflashers will bless you
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
Definately will include this in the next release...
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] :
Excellent program, I wanted to use the landscape keyboard while sending sms and it does it perfectly :D. Great program!
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
Thanks man! Glad you like it!
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] wizaard:
(Maybe) bugreport:

If I add some app to exception list as (for example) portrait only, it goes to portrait ONLY in case I rotate the phone to portrait (in previous versions it worked as it should - no matter in what position the phone was, screen rotated to portrait). I don't know how this is possible because with Manila it works like a charm.

BTW - I don't want to be rude or something - the app is great, the response time of the latest version is unbelieveable, the functions as well. And I know that in the first place I always write how great everything is and then I spit a drop of poison - sorry for that.
