Not rotating rss screens

really nice app with small enough footprint, thanx!

My main issue is with rss reader: only the channel-list can be rotated, entering a channel or a message won't rotate.

I also had issues with s2u2 and screentilt: often s2u2 just got unlocked without any reason. Worse when incoming phonecall, s2a just slided right, showed the phone app for a second, then back s2a and looping, not picking up the call, just ringing.

(solved by removing s2u2 :-) )

Versions: Dia1.93wwe stock, 1.40-s2u2, 1.54-screentilt
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
Thats very weird... No one else has repotred anything like this... Maybe you were useing 2 rotation apps @ the same time? Let me know what other programs were running and maybe we can weed out the source...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
Well, I don't know about RSS reader. What may be happening is that changeScreen is set up so that it DOESN'T rotate any windows that return an empty string or "" as their name. If those rss reader windows show nothing when you use the "Show App Names" button, then unfortunately they wont rotate... Maybe I can find a way around this in the future. If I do I'll be sure to post it here!

hey 600GOL,

any reason to update your app from 1.52 to 1.54 on my us diamond? I like it now on 1.52. but if 1.54 is faster I will do so...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
No not really. The only real difference for Diamond users is the checkbox that automatically adds maila to the exceptions. Other than that its really the same for you...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] arche3:
thanks! save me the hassle of uninstal and instal
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
All the new versions actually save your exceptions and settings... if you were to upgrade in the future you would loose them the 1st time and then keep them each upgrade after that
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] jeanne8fr:
Hello,

I am using your program (v2.5) on an Omnia. I have s2u2 v1.52e installed. Whenever I wake it up from sleep changescreen crashes with the error message below:

changeScreen.exe

InvalidOperationException

Unable to perform operation.

at o.m(Int32 A_0, Int32[] A_1, Int32[] A_2)

at o.c()

at h.g()

at m.b(String[] A_0)

Also the screen display is a little jumbled on the WQVGA resolution. The little icons you have showing the orientation of the screen are half hidden under the default box. That's not a big deal. I can live with that.

any ideas?

thanks

downloaded 2.5 version, for now it is working perfectly ;)

Hello

I tried the new version, which really has good options, but...

"Screen-off face down" does not work if check the box "only if NO light.

"Sceen Off in pocket" does not work.

May bee there is a problem, or wrong settings, in my light detector ?

And one more reflection: I set manila in exceptions, no turnings at all. But now, manila does not make a "screen-off" ?

I think it would be a good idea, if in exceptions, there was also a check-box: "Screen-off"

But after all, Screen Tilt App is not only the best, but the only gyrator for me!

Thanks for your work!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] -Vulture-:
Same here, crashes with an error message. Not the same, but still an error.

Sensors.SamsungGSensor.DeviceIoControl()

Sensors.SamsungGSensor.GetGVector()

Sensors.GSensorBase.get_Orientation()

Mostly when waking up from standby. Really nice app, better than RotationService...if it would work^^ ;)

Ah and vibration doenst work here either.

Hi, I'm fairly new to all this so please excuse me if I'm a bit slow on the uptake. I tried several ways to get the download, but everytime I get "error404:not found. your browser cannot find the document corresponding to the URL you typed in" so I tried just a search on changescreen_inst.cab and came across an 18th January version, but would really like the latest bug free one. thanks

app works great for the most part.

having some issues between this and manila. i have it all unchecked in the exceptions but manila still sometimes rotates. most times it doesn't though...

and when i do have it rotate manila, many times weird stuff appears on the right side of the screen and other times it's just blank on the right side (meaning the screen doesn't stretch to fill in that area on the right side...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] sueperior:
Thankyou, thankyou from sueperior:)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
Make sure only the portrait box is checked for manila. If you leave all boxes unchecked then manila will show up in landscape (distorted) if you press the HOME key while in a landscaped application. Checking the portrait box will ensure that manila is NEVER rotated... Let me know how that works for you!

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] oscahie:
Hi there,

This is a great app, the best to flip the screen without any doubt, but unfortunately I've found recently that it's also the source of some weird problems I was having. For instance I was unable to install some cabs that had worked without problems before, like the cab for tomtom 7.95. Also the task manager (not the default one but the improved version that comes with many custom ROMs) hangs up on start if the default tab is "applications" and changescreen is running. I didn't realize that it was changescreen to blame until I uninstalled it and suddenly it all worked again. Then I came to this thread to get the latest version (I was using 2.1 before) but sadly the issue still persists with version 2.5.

This has been happening on different ROMS, like Cloudy 1.0 and PDACornerIlussion v4.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] acekicker:
hey, this app is great, i have been looking for something like it, for a looong time now.

this current version is working great, there is no problems with TomTom7 here.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] ettaros:
Really nice Application !!! Its like the one omnia got. Ty very much XD
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Hojlind:
thanks a lot for this great app :D ilike it a lot more than gyrator :) it is very easy to navigate around and use the program :D one question though. is there anyway way to add the todayscreen to the exceptions without adding the whole shell32? (and this is without using the tf3d)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
Yeah, it will not work with some task manager application due to the way that changeScreen looks for the running processes. For some reason the task manager applications don't like it when other apps also need the running process information (i think). The only suggestion I have is to try to use version 1.54

It shouldnt interfere with the task manager but if you read earlier in the thread you'll see that version has its issues too...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
Thank you 4 the support! Unfortunately there is no way in the current v2.5 for changeScreen to distinguish shell32 today screen from the other shell32 instances. I'll look into this for a future release and maybe just include an option to NOT rotate the today screen. No guarantees that i'll be able to figure something out but i'll definately try...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Hojlind:
that sounds good and i will be looking forward to that :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] oscahie:
Thanks for answering... I could live with the task manager issue, but the cab thing is more of a problem. Have you ever had that issue? As I said it's been happening for instance with Tomtom 7.95 and also with the file explorer extension cab (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=421723). The installation just get stuck at some point (usually with the progress bar at 0%) and can't get past there.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
Never... Theres really nothing in changeScreen that interferes with the installation process... It must be something else... or perhaps the rare combination of 2 apps throwing these bad side effects...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] gadgetuk437:
A teensy little feature request that should be pretty easy to implement...

How about adding Toggle Screen on face down to the Advanced tab, as an alternative to Screen Off?

Screen Toggle is pretty useful, I find it better than Screen Off, because I can then just repeat the facedown orientation to turn the screen on and off (saves a little wear and tear on the power button).

Oh... and howzabout suspend on reverse portrait?... pretty handy for those times you forget to hit the power button before you slip it in you pocket.

Whaddya think?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
Well... for the 1st request... after the phone is put to suspend mode, I'm 99% sure the GSensor stops working until it is turned back to a normal power state. So there's no way to monitor the orientation of the phone after it initially turns off.

Your second request is in there already! Version 2.5 has a Screen Off in pocket checkbox. When its checked it will turn the screen off if the phone is upside down AND there is no light. Hope that helps!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Kraize:
Hmm one thing I noticed, it conflicts with S2P. When I have it to turn off in pocket, whenever it does suspend the device, s2p pauses as if I pressed suspend without having headphones plugged in, but I always have headphones plugged in.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Sverrs:
Hi 600GOL and thanks a lot for this great working app!!! I've been using it now for a couple of weeks with superb results!

Nevertheless I'm having one problem.

When the inbuilt alarm (from the "Home" screen) goes on it goes suddnely off when ChangeScreen rotates the screen where there is the "alarm notification". Unfortunately this notification (with the dismiss or snooze function) er a part of Shell32 so I can't make that as an exclusive, or everything else (e.g. file manager) won't rotate.

Is there someway to use the inbuilt alarm without ChangeScreen "killing" the beeping when reaching for the phone (which happens way before I can even reach the snooze or dismiss functions)?

Thanks again for a top of the line program!

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] losdrivare:
I'd suggest a work-around: use Total Commander as file manager (it's way better) and set shell32 not to rotate. (Also I'd suggest G-Alarm as a great finger-friendly alarm app with lots of features.)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Sverrs:
Thanks for this, I will try it out.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
I see what you're saying. I'll look into this...

I'll check this alarm thing out... can you send me your configuration? Use the Export button and export to a txt file...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] JZ SmartMort:
Turning off the display...

Hi 600GOL,

I was wondering if there is an option in changeScreen to turn off the display when the screen is facing down. This is a feature in Gyrator & gSen but I feel Gyrator is OK but clunky and too much for my needs. gSen is not usable as the process has to be re-started in order for the display to actually turn off on a face-down event.

If you don't have this as a feature, it would certainly be useful to me and I'm sure for others. When I'm connected to the PC, the screen stays on and I wanna see it off, hence the need for such a feature.

Thanks!

Div x rotates from landscape to portrait

Hey Guys

Does anyone have DIVX rotate from landscape to portrait. I.e you want to wathc widescreen and it moves to portrait?

Maybe you guys may use other players that are better?

Love this app by the way I left a wee sum to show my respects for 2.5

plese and many thanks

Are you saying you can't rotate that application? I'm confused... I don;t have an HD so I can't really speak from experience. I've always used TCPMP for video's tho...

Thanks for the support btw... Any little bit motivates me to keep up with the app!

For anyone reading this I'm sorry i've been out of it for a while. Been working on a finger friendly AOL instant messenger application. Check out a screenshot here!

Wow! The software is really impressive and intuitive. Unlike the others I've tested, it actually works as it should on face-down events. I've taken soft-resets just to see if it works after the reset and it did not disappoint. I will post back if I find anything but so far thought it's EXCELLENT, thanks so much for the quick response and for the great app! I have a feeling this is the keeper after trying all of the alternatives out there.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
Thanks! Glad its working well for you all! Even better to hear you prefer it over the others... It has served its purpose!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] JZ SmartMort:
I noticed that when I do face-down event, changeScreen does turn off the screen as expected but my ActiveSync loses connection to the device.

Basically, you're doing the same thing as the power button does. I was hoping that it would turn off the screen and lock the buttons. PocketShield, Gyrator and gSen seem to use that API call(s) rather than the same one as the power button.

Let me know if any of this is unclear.

Thanks!

This is a lovely.. Much easier and better then the other said ones. I just have one issue for which I did try looking around but all in vain. Whenever there in an incoming call, I donot see the full incoming call screen thus I dont see the caller number. I have attached an image for reference. Will wait for some help !! :)

Thanks !!

Btw: I have also added cprog to expection list !!

Screen does not turn off....

The option to turn off screen when face down and in pocket do not work on my touch pro. I'm using the latest version. Probably a conflict with some other app but I have no idea what it would be.

The rotation feature works perfectly!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] JZ SmartMort:
That's strange, worked well on my branded Touch Pro (AT&T Fuze) like a charm. Maybe your sensor needs re-calibration...

Either use the Start>Settings>G-Sensor or download some leveler applications for your sensor like Bubble Level, Water Level or SpiritLevel and you could see whether the sensor is way off.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Rems31:
Thanks! Works with S2U2 which is what i was looking for :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] uccoffee:
to make the incoming call pop up properly in landscape , there's only 1 rotating sw can do it , which it FLIP_IT, because it somehow emulate TOUCHPRO's keyboard out

600GOL, are there any way to make your tilt app work like FLIP_IT which makes manila & incoming call work in landscape mode?

When "screen off in pocket" is active, it also stops streaming...found out when i was listening to web radios at the bus, had to desactivate the feature...I believe the "root" of the problem is the same. Just informing, already saw it will be fixed! :o

I have an Intermittent issue when using v2.5.

Sometimes it will refuse to rotate anything, but just opening up ChangeScreen kicks it back into life.

Note sure if it's the cause, but it normally happen when I leave work and have just sent a text, hit the power button to send it to sleep and then turned it on to use Tomtom.

This is on a Touch HD.

but why rotated the screen when the display is of?

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
Did you have any luck w/ the above. Other people have reported this as well but I havent been able to pinpoint the cause yet...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
Yeah, in the next release changeScreen will "restart" itself every so often to try to avoid these issues...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] 600GOL:

Edit: Ok, I don't know if this helps you, but I found a way to run my gps program with changescreen active.

If I enable changescreen, then start my gps program it just stalls on startup (device still works, but the splash screen doesn't come up). If I then immediately simply open changescreen configure app (I don't touch a thing there) my gps program then starts up with the config still open in the background.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] ruffneck_freestyler:
Hi all!

Great app. Works like a charm! There is just one exception where manila (even if it's checked as exception) turns to landscape mode. When I'm on the phone (cporg),the screen goes off after 30 sec. When the screen goes off manila keeps turning when I slightly tilt my phone. This is really annoying especially because I have vibration on when turning. Has anybody experienced the same problem?

I'm using a Blackstone with the latest official firmware.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] 600GOL:

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] 600GOL:

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Kraize:
[Questions]

Did you ever find the solution to the music stopping on face down and in pocket issue?

Another annoying thing is that ChangeScreen is still working when the phone is in standby >.> So I can suspend it in portrait, and move it to landscape while it's suspended and move it back to portrait and turn it on, it'll wake up in landscape and turn to portrait later. Can you stop that?

Also, it's awkward when switch to landscape. ChangeScreen ignores the fact that the keyboard is slid out and goes with whatever orientation it's in. There is a reg edit to recognize if the keyboard is slid in or out. Can you disable that or allow the keyboard to override that setting.

1 more thing, I currently have reverse landscape and portrait setup to work. If I rotate it from portrait>reverse landscape>upside down, it becomes portrait. Can you make it stay at the last known setting (which would be reverse landscape).

Second to last one (I swear!), changescreen screws around QuickMenu when switching to landscape. It works fine when I switch regularly with keyboard slide out. I'll show you a screenshot if you don't get what I mean.

Ok last one :), The Exceptions tab is not so friendly in landscape. It acts awkward. Could you put the Add and the pics of the orientation in the same box as the exceptions?

[Requests]

Add time schedule

Be able to adjust tilt sensitivity

Adding keyboard sliding override option

[Suggestion]

Thumb friendly? :) Not really an issue, but if you're done deving your app and it's stable, if you have time.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
Yes. itll be fixed in the next release.

I'll see what I can do.

What is the reg edit to recognize this? I remember looking for it but couldn't find anything. If you or anyone knows how to detect whether or not the keyboard is open please let me know. It'll make the app a whole lot smoother!

This is fixed in the next release.

Yeah send the screenshot...

Yeah, i'm "redesigning" the interface a little bit to make it more user friendly...

Hiya,

I posted this in the other thread, but not sure if you saw it.

But would it be possible to have two versions of the installer?

One as it is now and one as a UC installed, so it doesn't pop the app up when I install it via Sashimi after Flashing?

Cheers,

Paul.

*** Edit ***

PS I'm confused for the two threads

This one and here, can one be pointed to this one and closed?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Kraize:
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Keypad\IsSlideOut

Will do when I get back to WM6.1. I found out it's not a problem with ChangeScreen, it's a problem with QuickMenu.

Same thing as the reg edit part, except allowing the user to decide if he wants the keyboard to force it to switch to landscape, or he has to turn the device himself.

Don't be ;) There is actually 4 threads total, one in Dev & Hacking, one here, another in blackstone themes, and another in raphael software. It just pertains to the specific device. I'm sure 600GOL checks all the threads.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
Whoa... life saver... you just made this app a whole lot better!

Well the device itself rotates the screen when the keyboard is flipped open so I don;t think this can be controlled. Unless you know w way. By all means please let me know.

Really!? 4!? I only know of 3!! 1 for Raphael, 1 for diamond and 1 for blackstone... Is there really a 4th?!

btw yeah I saw it. sorry I didnt get back to you. Yes ill put out a different installer.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Kraize:
Np. Anything to make it perfect ;) Or as near perfect as possible

How about tricking it? Make it stay at the value of slide in. That way, let ChangeScreen take control and not the keyboard sliding

I thought there was lol. You would know better.

What are you referring to?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Mandragore:
