UPDATE:

Well, I am VERY happy to let you know, it seems this was not a problem with your amazing app. After performing a hard reset, and reinstalling everything (including change screen), it now seems to be working perfectly. I just installed it, so I hope problems don't arise after using it for a while, but so far so good :)

Thanks so much!
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
Hopefully you're right... Let me know either way. Thanks!
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
Anyone else experience this? Believe me man, I want to know of any problems with the prog. so I can make it better. Don't hesitate to report them...

btw - what you mentioned above doesn't happen on my device @ all...

Can you send me your configuration file? "\Windows\changeScreen.config"
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
Makes sense. Thanks for the compliment btw!
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
It shouldn't... but please report if you find anything different...
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] wizaard:
Here you are.

BTW - the previous version works fine (in this way) - I tried to investigate whether it may be by the new 2.03 ROM but it's definitely not.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
Yeap, thats a bug alright... just checked. I'll put out a new version by the end of the week for you guys with the fix for this and some of the other features as well like the Import Export feature...

Thanks for posting that bug... I'm surprised it hasn't ahppened to anyone else...
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] NeoS:
Hey 600GOL, i love your app! I even cooked it into my rom. Now i have a question about the configuration. Is it possible to set a configuration as "standard"? For instance, i'd like to set a few apps as standard rotate in my rom. Thanks in advance.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
If you look @ the \Windows\changeScreen.config file (which contains the changeScreen settings) its just simple XML format. You can set the apps you'd like to have your ROM rotate/not and then just include that file with your ROM. When the users load changeScreen for the 1st time it'll show those same settings!
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] Peaster111:
I noticed your thread has been pretty quiet. I know why too. Your latest version works perfectly. I've been using it for awhile now and a lot of other folks are as well. No issues. It just works.

Thanks!
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
haha yea... I suppose. Sorry to everyone thats been waiting for the new version. I havent got the time yet to finalize it and test it out fully before I release it to you all. Hopefulle I can get to it soon. Thanks for the patience!
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] hazard.za:
Hi,

Is it possible to setup Changescreen to turn the screen of when the phone rotates to reverse portrait...

I want the screen to turn off when i put the phone in my pocket...

This would be a great help...

Thanks in advance...
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
I actually included this in the new version I'm building. You'll have the option once I put it out...
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] hazard.za:
great...

When will you release the new version...

i can't wait...

Thanks for the great app...
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
Hopefully I will get to it this week. Sorry it seems like i'm putting it off but I don;t want to release garbage to you guys (and ladies)... I've just been swamped with work lately & haven't gotten the chance to fully debug the program for you. I'll make it a point sometime this week to spend a decent amount of time on it and hopefully that'll do it!
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] hawky358:
Hey

Hopefully this hasn't been mentioned (Tried searching)

I have another issue with Pocketshield:

I have PS on exceptions on only portrait mode, however if I go into standby (Power button) while in landscape (or any other mode) when I go out of standby PS is in the orientation. Rotating to portrait moves PS to Port and then it stays like that.

This also happens when receiving a call, making the slide to answer difficult if you rotate the wrong time.

I also have a feature request which I would love:

Can you make custom rotate limits ex.(Landscape mode is between -30deg and 30deg with regards to the correct axis of course)

Sometimes I accidently go into landscape by rotating just over limit, having tighter limits will help.

Thanks for the great app. I really enjoy it

[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
New version 2.5 available!

I've addresses most of the bugs that people have brought to my attention with v2.1.

The application now has a Screen Off in Pocket function as well as Import / Export functions.

As always, let me know how it works for you!
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
See if the new version works better for you. I'll see if I can play with the rotation levels and maybe (if it works) include it in a later version...
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] cincy1020:
Hmm, I have a strange issue. When I try to install the new version, it just sticks at the installing screen. I have to soft reset to make it unfreeze. Am I the only one having this problem?

Thanks so much!

EDIT:

After a few tries, it did install. I will report back on how it works for me. Thanks again!
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
Damn... really?! @ what part of the installation did it stop at? Do you remember?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] slimshadee:
600GOL:

I think your link to the older version 2.1(2) in post #1 is incorrect. Although the cab says it's version 2.3, when you load it the config screen looks like an earlier release (1.54 maybe?)...

I wanted to keep a copy of 2.1(2) as backup, and inadvertantly deleted it from my storage card. I think the file was around 65k...can you fix post one to make 2.1(2) available again?

Or....if anyone still has this cab, could you repost it here for me to grab?

THANKS!

and... great proggie, 600GOL!
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
Damn... I have to look for it now... I must have screwed something up when I uploaded... I honestly don't know 100% if ive got the old cabs or not so if someone has downloaded it and saved it can you send it to me so I can put it back up on the site for you all to download if need be. Thanks in advance!
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] cincy1020:
Hi:

It got stuck right after it asks if you want to install to device, then you hit next, the it says installing with progress bar. Well, the progress bar never moved, and the windows wait cursor appeared, and never went away. It did this 3 times (soft reset each time to fix). On 4th try it seemed to install normally.

Might not be a problem with your app, my device might just be crazy :(

So far I was very excited, new version seemed to be working great for me, but today after a phone call it did the funny Manila rotating with distortion on the side.

I will continue testing it though, and report later.

Thanks so much :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] tx3kgtman:
download links seem to not work? anyone have a mirror? I would like to try this program out.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] wizaard:
Installed, tried, no problem so far, rotation works like a charm, plus the bugs fixed - from my point of view (so far) great!
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
Download Link fixed!

Download link back up! Sorry about that...
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] LBCta:
Great app, I really like how it uses minimal resources and you don't have to muck around in the reg, thank you 600GOL!
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] phobos512:
Is there anyway to make the phone switch positions more quickly, or increase the sensitivity? Just wondering...
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] pinny:
Is there A way to activate Change Screen for the LogMeIn application without enabling it for Internet explorer?

(problem is, it says that it's called the same as IE, iexplore)
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
Nah, Sorry bro... if its the same process name then theres nothing I can really do...
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
Thanks man. Glad to hear you like it so much!

Well, changeScreen actually rotates the screen pretty quickly... I think what you're referring to is the time it takes to adjust after the orientation changes? For example if you change to landscape and then try to switch back to portrait really quickly? Unfortunately thats just a limitation of the device itself. It needs some time to adjust after it changes orientation. Even if you open your keyboard to switch the screen, you need to wait a second or two before you can press anything. I don't know exactly why the Windows OS works like that but hopefully its something that can be improved with the net gen. of devices...
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] eljoe:
screen off

Hi 600GOL! I as i already said: great app!...just a concern about "screen off on face down".

1:

On V2.5, when i m listening to music on Windows Media and face down the phone it looks like changeScreen put the device on standby (like pressing the top on/off button), and music goes off.

I think (not really sure) version 2.1 had a different behavior (only screen off), and windows media keeps running.

Maybe you can create an option to select which action to take when face down...on the other way, if you return to version 2.1 behavior, and people really want to put their phone on standby,they can face down the device, forget about it and the device will "turn off" after the time set on power options. But if you used apps like Windows Medias this app will prevent that turn off to ocurr. So i guess 2.1 will leave happy all the people.

2:

Other thing about the same feature. When activated, and holding the device in landscape mode on a car holder, when you go through irregular streets, and phones moves up and down (just a little vibration of course..it's a goose neck car holder) the screen goes off. It's look likes the app don't like that little vibration (i supouse when it goes down...but not face down, more like in a vertical way)....

i have a very bad english so i hope someone understand what i am trying to say ;)
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
Yeah, I understand what you mean. the problem with the 2.1 version was that it wasnt really shutting the device off (standby), it was litterally just turning the screen off. This meant that rotations would still happen... I suppose in a future release I could include an option to choose which would allow you to choose. Sorry about that for now! Thanks for the support btw!
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] misfitwrx:
oh a heads up to everyone using this app, if you are testing out one of the new 6.5 builds this works awesome on it. im using this new version on da_g's newest 6.5 fuze rom and it works great

on a side note the 6.5 roms are pretty much good for daily use
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] phobos512:
Actually maybe not so much the time but the sensitivity to the position the phone has to be in to get it to switch. I don't know about everyone else but normally I don't hold my phone at eye level with my arms outstretched to use it. The thing does have a 3-axis accelerometer right?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
Yeah, other people have brought that up, but @ the same time, portrait or face up is (or should start @) about a 45 degree angle. You shouldn't need to hold it directly in front of your face... Other people have brought the topic up and I just haven't found the time to mess with customizing the levels yet... When I do find the time i'll definately update the thread (if not the app) with my findings. It's definately possible to allow the end user to customize the levels, I just think it'll confuse a lot more people than it'll help... I'll have to find a way to make it as easy as possible...

Hi!

Just found a small problem with v2.5

When I hold my Touch Pro vertically and shake it left and right and forward and backward my CorePlayer music player turns from portrait to landscape and then back. This interrups my music. Shake it rapidly and you can see it. Note that the angle of shake is just a few degrees

Thanks
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] StevePritchard:
Don't shake it then ;)

The problem is that the only way to get around these false readings would be to check the orientation of the device over time, but this would mean that the app would have to wait a while before it could decide that you REALLY wanted to rotate, thus making the whole thing less responsive.

My suggestion would be to add an exception for CorePlayer so it doesn't get auto-rotated.

Cheers,

Steve.

"Don't shake it then"

I put my Touch Pro in a pouch and hang it in front of my backpack and at the same time listening to music via bluetooth. So as I walk the music got interrupted intermittently as the pouch shakes

So, thats the problem

"My suggestion would be to add an exception for CorePlayer so it doesn't get auto-rotated"

When I'm not backpacking my Touch Pro is strap to a pouch on my wrist so the idea of not getting it auto-rotated is not good.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] 2revup:
semms since i upgrade from the last version the suspend worked perfect.

now it works for a period of time the just stops everything else is working find roating works great.

the only way to get the suspend to work is soft reset.

using orginal rom for tp.

any ideas?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] unun281292:
I have another issue, when using the device after a while, like a few hours, when I launch a program (e.g. Resco explorer etc.) and turn the device to landscape, A landscape dialer will show up for about 3-5 seconds before the program I wanted to launch in landscape launch, in fact every program with the same problem. And when I turn the device portrait back, This time a messed-up dialer show, and, again, with the portrait program back, It won't happen in the first few hours after a soft reset, pls help, I like your program so much!!!!
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
Daaaaaaaaaaaamn you've got a lot of problems!!

Just Kidding! I am going to add an option into the next release to stop/start changeScreen when a button is pressed (hopefully a button of your choice - but we'll see). This will allow you to have it rotate while on your wrist and not rotate when its on your backpack. Sound good?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
Whoa, what?! what ROM are you on?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
Any way you can narrow down when it stops working? After a phone call... after you open an app.. etc? It'd help me a lot!
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] 2revup:
so far its been pritty random but i will keep an eye on it and let you know and how.

thanks

Hmmmm.....I'll test it out...btw.....are you referring to software button or hardware button? If hardware button then I'll need to map it, right?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] nhshah7:
searched the thread and didn't find this - any way to change the polling time for the sensor?

That would be AWESOME! Thanks, and great app!
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] 2revup:
yeah would love to see something where we can stop and start the service for the app...
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] letsgoflyers81:
Version 2.5 runs great and I haven't noticed any problems. Sorry if this has been covered, but would be possible for ChangeScreen to have a whitelist mode? Instead of rotating everything and having a blacklist for exceptoins, I'd prefer to have a whitelist so only certain applications are rotated and nothing else rotates by default. I find myself adding apps as exceptions constantly and there's really only a handful of of programs that I'd like to rotate. Gyrator 2 has the ability to function this way but I find it to be really flakey on my Touch Pro while ChangeScreen runs solid as a rock. If ChangeScreen could be set this way it would be perfect for me.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
It has this function... an exception in changeScreen is just anything that you want to be different than your default.

So to accomplish what you want you would need to set your default to portrait only (1st pox) and then just define the applications that you actually want to rotate in the exceptions.

My recomendation to you is this:

1 - Reset changeScreen defaults

2 - Change your Default to portrait only

3 - Remove any exception EXCEPT those that have NO boxes checked (leave opera and services, etc)

4 - Add in the programs that you want to rotate and check the directions you want them to rotate.

That should do it for you...
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
You want to make it faster? explain a little more and I'll see if I can shed some light on what it is you want...
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
I'll probably end up just creating an option that will allow you to create a link that will start/stop changeScreen. This way you could have it as a software button (in your programs list or whatever) and you'd be able to link a hardware button to it if you wanted to...
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] letsgoflyers81:
Wow, way to make me feel really stupid. :) That's so simple and makes all the sense in the world. For some reason since I first installed ChangeScreen I checked all four directional boxes on the default screen. Somehow I never managed to consider that just checking portrait would keep all apps portrait unless there's an exception. I've set it like you suggested and it's working great. Thanks!
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] phobos512:
Hey thought I would throw this out there. I'm running EnergyRom 2.0 32609 (today's release) and changescreen 2.5 all default settings was causing my phone to run reaaaaaaallllllyyyyy sloooooooowwwwwwww. I hadn't noticed this happening before. Maybe someone else can see if they have similar issues? After uninstalling changescreen the speed was kicked back up to 11.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
This problem has since been fixed, if you redownload you wont have this happen anymore... I'm Actually working on a few tweaks and minor fixes so maybe its better to wait a day or so for the latest version...

d1 - thanks btw
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] xboxhaxorz:
Sounds great, you should put it in the diamond themes forum as well. I too did not fancy gyrator and gsen didnt even work with newer roms.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] nhvoltagenh:
ok, i have a question for you...

i have tried with no success to have this programm exclude wisbar, and wisbar desktop from rotating..

no luck..

how do i do that.

i have used program name, and processes..
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
When did you download changeScreen? If you downloaded it when I first posted, it will NOT be able to exclude Wisbar. I updated the cab after that to fix the volume problem... that fix should also allow it to work with wizbar... Try downloading the cab file now and let me know what happens...

(in the latest cab there is no way to "re include" wizbar. It is excluded by default)
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] RallyPunx:
Will try it today. Thanx.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] :
my phone kept popping up when using different apps like opera, manila ,

s2p etc..

i am using romeos fuze rom

any ideas?

tvos
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
This has since been fixed (as far as I can tell) - may happen RARELY if the timing is just right!

Try the newest version (just redownload the cab in the 1st post).

Try the newest version... I uploaded it right after you posted this... let me know if it acts any differently...

** There is a new version for download. This is the FASTEST rotation time I have been able to get (to me seems faster). Also fixed a few minor bugs / requests. please post your findings...
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
Can anyone verify if/how this works on the Touch Diamond?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] nhvoltagenh:
2 days ago... is it newer?

need a version number :(

ill try...

and post what i get
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] nhvoltagenh:
no luck bud... still rotates wisbar

fyi i run both wis and wad

i also didnt exclude them because you had mentioned the program auto excludes them

ideas?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
Damn! I just tried it with Wizbar (and the advanced desktop) and it did not rotate on my device. I'm thinking there might be something else affecting it.

I'll tell you what. I'll edit the configuration screen to include a "Find" option. When activated it will show the "Name" of the window (as my app sees it) when you switch, this way you could exclude exact names as you please. I'm pretty sure Wizbar just returns an empty string - which is an exception by default, but we'll see. I'll post a newer version, with a VERSION NUMBER as soon as i add in this feature complete...
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] nhvoltagenh:
ya me... LOL

i figured if i installed new it would overwrite old...

it did not.. so i uninstalled and reinstalled new.

works perfect..

question now is do i need to add teeter and resco bubbles to excluded?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
Yes as of now you need to add them... I suppose they should be added by default along with Opera... Maybe HTC photo album too. Thanks for the heads up! Glad it works for you now!

So easy to use! I added "touchflo3d" to the exceptions and I'm all set! THANK YOU! :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
That is anything BUT small... Thank you man I really appreciate it!

It really is buggin me that I can't reproduce your error! I'll get it eventually!

Untill then... There is a new version for download that allows you to see the names of the windows... See 1st post!
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
Just a tip

Smething I noticed while screwing around, and this seems to affect ALL screen rotation, even the rotations caused by flipping the keyboard... If you use the "Compact QWERTY" sip, it takes a little longer to fully rotate because the SIP image at the bottom of the screen also has to resize itself. Using the "Full QWERTY" or regular keyboard, the image stays the same all the time and allows the screen to rotate a little faster...

If you use the compact qwerty try one of the other sips if you'd rather have a faster rotation...
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] atomic2mod:
Wow! Just discovered this. Way better for me than Gyrator2!
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] rjmjr69:
Awesome great work thank you
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] :
yah, it barfed on the new app too.. I have so many hacks, reg edits wouldn't be surprized it didn't like it... no biggie really. I use portrait most of the time anyways, photos in manila, opera, s2u2 work fine w/no problems switching..

keep up the good work though.

i would like a simple application that when i put the stylius in the holder, turns off the device. i know gyrator could do this, but the app is way too advance for what i need.

[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
Shouldn't be... it must be conflicting with something preinstalled with the ROM maybe??
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] kwill:
running smooth here on the same rom. may want to ensure ur using the settings as mentioned above by 600GL. that will ensure no slowdown. as well, if ur using the all bkgd 4tabs cab, try uninstalling it as i have noticed thats slowed down rotation times on tf3d2
