attempting to add htcalbum to the exemptions list caused it to crash upon pressing save. Crashed everytime i rotated my phone and would not stop until i removed htcalbum from the list.

EDIT: nvm. you already included it in the list by default. you might want to make it so you cant add the same item twice
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
Damn... I thought I did... oh well! Next release will definately check for that! Thanks for the heads up!
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] 2revup:
having some more problems with this release.

1. as said before when flip over to suspend, after a period of time it stops yet all other rotations contuine to work fine, I am still unable to pin point this to 1 single application. However it does seem to happen when the mem usage is a little high for a while, IE after a game, music player even after launching the album and zoom and panning etc.

2. My new problem I just discovered last night is when I am listening to MP3's via the music tab and i flip to suspend after 5-10 seconds in being suspend my music stops. once powered back on it resumes. If I try this by suspending using the power button its perfect music contuines to play.

I was able to replicate this every time I tried it and uninstalled and re-install app and same problem occurs.

Thanks
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
Yea, its in the way changeScreen turns off the device. Hopefully I can find a way to detect if there is sound or music playing for a future release...
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] mlin:
My experiences are similar with S2P. However, my music continues to play though it sounds as if there is a short circuit in the wiring. However, the wire is fine. So, it seems like my device is still somewhat recognizing that music is playing, though in spotty intervals. Thanks for the program!

installation

Hi

I have downloaded the Changescreen v2.5 and unzipped it on my pc.. Which file do I have to use to install it on the HTC HD TOUCH?

Jesper
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] StevePritchard:
You've probably used something like 7zip to unzip it, have you? You don't need to do anything on your PC.

All you need to do is copy the changescreen_inst.cab directly onto your phone, and run it from there. Just use the phone's File Explorer to find it, and click the cab file - it will install from there.

Cheers,

Steve.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
Steve said it. probably easier tho to dload right from the phone if its an option for you...

Hi,I'm new in this Thread and I've been looking for this kind of app. for a long time. I was stock on Gyrator2 (with a big headache 1,0,1,0,1,0....) for a while and impossible to get what I wanted.Please don't get me wrong the Gyrator2 . it's a killer app but yours it's WAYYYYYYYYY much easier and better ( in my opinion).

So 2 words: THANK YOU!!!:D

I love your APP and your quick responses to all the questions made in your thread.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] omahajs:
I posted this over in the diamond thread by mistake, but the screen off function does not work at all on my vzw touch pro. Nothing happens when I turn the device face down?

Also, my gps program does not run at all when this program is enabled. It's called PocketMap Navigator. It just stalls during startup, but if I disable changescreen it immediately starts just fine.

I do enjoy the rotation function and you've done a great job. I just can't use it because of the above.

Thanks.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] deghedy:
I agree with you 100%

Gyrator2 is a powerful app. However this one is more user friendly and easier to use.

Excellent Job 600GOL

dotFred's TaskMgr.exe

Hey 600GOL,

I noticed that there is a problem when using the most-famous task manager http://www.dotfred.net/TaskMgr.htm

If I open task mgr and changeScreen is not loaded, it works, as soon as I load changeScreen, TaskMgr.exe will never re-fresh the process list correctly until changeScreen is killed and TaskMgr.exe is re-started...

This may not be a problem with changeScreen but rather a problem with TaskMgr but I thought I'd let you know and see if this happens for anybody else.

Thanks!

JZ
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] omahajs:
I gave up using dfred taskmanager because it always locked up on me when refreshing the list. Since I've disabled changescreen (see post above about my gps program not working with changescreen enabled), the task manager now works perfectly.

Thanks for the tip and hopefully both problems can be found and corrected?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] Daved+:
I'm in the same boat...

I use TaskManager a lot and I really like ChangeScreen so I hope this bug can be fixed soon.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] StevePritchard:
I'd had the same problem with TaskManager and thought that it must be a conflict with something I was running - it seems like it was.

TaskManager doesn't seem to have had an update for a long while, so I put it down to some incompatibility with newer software.

Cheers,

Steve.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] mattyman:
First off. Awesome app. I love it. I do have an idea for future versions though. How about being able to adjust the sensitivity of when the screen rotates.

For instance ... I sometimes use my device when lying on my bed and it can get tilted at different angles rotating the screen when I don't want it to rotate. Would it be possible to get the sensitivity of the tilt changed so that it only changes when its within x degrees off of a new axis being horizontal?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] bbonzz:
+1. Maybe this setting as well as "per app": i would apply it to manila, for example, that rotates everytime i put my phone on the table and everytime i pick it up :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
Thanks! Glad to hear it works for you guys!
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
I think one of the reasons people like changeScreen is because its not overloaded with these kinds of features, but granted - a lot of people have asked for this so maybe its time...

I think it will be possible to adjust the rotation angles but I just need to get it set to a format (or UI) that people will understand and wont curse me for making it so difficult.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
Even if you add it as an exception?

Everyone that has had a problem with task managers not working with changeScreen - it is because changeScreen gets information from processes that are running on your device (much like a task manager) and uses that info to determine the current application. I don't know why so many task managers can't deal with another program using the same information that their code attempts to use but it seems like thats an issue with those apps rather than changeScreen. Maybe i'm doing something wrong with changeScreen but I really doubt it. It could be because changeScreen monitors too frequently, but again - I doubt it. In the next release I'll have an option to turn down the rotation time so hopefully that will help. Until then tho I'm sorry about the conflict...
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] StevePritchard:
Perhaps we could take this conversation offline - but I was wondering, how often are you checking the processes? Presumably, you only need to grab the process list if the ID changes, and you don't already know what program is using that process ID - I guess this is the case when the Task Manager starts up. It has a new ID, and you don't know what it is.

It probably doesn't like you jumping in and getting the process list just as it is trying to grab all the same info - I agree that this is more likely to be a problem with the task manager programs than changeScreen. However, changeScreen is only checking at that point to determine if there's an exception for this new program, and if so it will rotate for you. Rather than changing the whole polling frequency, as I think you are suggesting, could we have a setting to introduce a delay before it checks the process list in this scenario? A delay of a few seconds would probably be enough for the task manager to sort itself out.

Cheers,

Steve.

Hi:

Within the past couple days, I get an error message from Change Screen. I am forced to quit, in order to proceed. The only new programs I have installed are SPB Mobile Shell 3.0, and Igrecway Hangman. I have both in the exceptions list, to only stay in portrait mode.

Any idea what the problem could be?

Thanks!

Manila keeps 'trying' to rotate

i've lavished much praise on you and your program (and still do) so i hate to be a jackass and keep coming back saying its not working, but suddenly i encountered znother issue. (and i apologize if it'xs been brought up before.

after 3 days of use wirh no glitches, suddenly, even though manila is in exceptions for portrait only, if i lock my screen, while it's locked ir keeps trying to rotate manila (and does) and i cant find my unlock button. advancsd settings of face down or in pocket are unchecked. manila is in exceptions checked for portrait only. i do have servicesin exceptions to rotate so i can access quick menu while in landscape. what am i doing wrong? thanks for all.

htc touch diamond2

i use it for tomtom7 , after that i have to turn it off quickly otherwise touchflow 3d will be corrupted by it. it stays tilted even when i held the gsm rightup. and then slowly freezes because all is corrupted. can't work with it anymore. have to reset the gsm then.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] civicvx94:
wow this program is amazing! this is the third program i've used to enable the g-sensor in certain apps and it works flawlessly!

One question, is it possible to disable the g-sens for all programs within a certain folder, like games for instance? I have a few random games/apps that glitch a little when rotated and I was unsuccessful when i tried to add them to the exceptions list..
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
Can you try uninstalling those progs 1 by 1 and then start up changeScreen so we could determine the culprit?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
There will be a fix for this in the next release...
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
Let us know how you fare...

What names are you using to add those games to the exceptions? Have you tried using the Show App Names button to give you the exact name of the applications?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] 600GOL:

[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] civicvx94:

Thanks again!
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] cincy1020:
Hi 600.

I uninstalled both, and neither fixed the problem :( I even tried uninstalling and reinstalling ChangeScreen, but still nothing. And I have tried looking up the file it says is missing, but can't find any info on what it is.

I guess for now I have to disable ChangeScreen, at least until AT&T decides to release their new ROM (if they ever do). Then I will start from scratch and try ChangeScreen again. I surely will miss your great app :(

Thanks!
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
Sorry, I've been out of it for a while... I've been testing the new version and it seems to be stable for me. I still have to fix a few things and tweak it a bit. I was experimenting with allowing the users to specify the rotation levels but the way I have it set up right now will be too confusing for most people to grasp - so it'll have to wait until the next version. As for the release that fixes the screen off/lock option stopping the music and a couple of other bugs mentioned (including a better UI) - I will have it out to you by the end of the week. Anyone having problems I urge to try the new version once its out. I've tried as hard as I can to use as little resources as possible to get the new version to work without screwing with the task manager applications. Hopefully it will do the job!

If you want to give me a little reminded of what I said i was going to fix (or add) please do so before I release the new version. I think I got most of the problems but I'm sure there were some that I missed or forgot about...
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] arturobandini:
Change Screen 2.5 works perfectly and is the best app to rotate screen using the G-sensor.

Just one question :

When I launch App To Date to check for all the updates, I have got a error message for Change Screen.

Change Screen is always listed in my APP TO DATE list, but it says that the update verification for Change Screen failed.

The problems comes from App To Date or from Change Screen? Does anyone knows?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] arturobandini:
P.S....

600GL, I think the title of the thread could now be changed.Firstly, because Change Screen is now more famous than Gyrator :). Secondly, because since change screen is not in the title, it is difficult to find....

Also, this thread shall not be limited to Raphael, as long as Change Screen works perfectly on diamond and on HD....

Regards
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
That is my mistake. I had to restructure my website which caused the AppTpDate linkage to get all screwed up. The next release will fix this. sorry about that.

I suppose you are right...

Just bumping the thread back to the top. I feel like a lot of people missed the updates to the app.

Also - for anyone reading this. Is there a version of this "Topaz" dialer for the touch pro. People are having issues with the dialer and it'd be great if I could test it out on my device!
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] -MyHTC-:
Wow the app has came a long way since I last updated.

[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] StevePritchard:
Yeah, fair enough - there's a large turn-over of messages on here, but it seems that only a select few threads seem to get the sticky treatment.

I had another instance today where my screen must have been rotating while I was on the phone because it was vibrating, but I can't seem to recreate it. I'm not sure whether it's TICST related or not, but I wonder whether a "suppress vibrate while on the phone" option could be added to changeScreen?

Cheers,

[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] gmanfuzing:
i love this app at the moment , i can finnaly use the onscreen keyboard in landscape :], my 2 problems are ...1 i have my ptt button reassignable in the directory start/settings/personal/buttons. but i cant get the toggle link to appear in this area in order to map my ptt key to it . and 2 how exactly ar e the exceptions set up , they dont make alot of sense. like in tf3d mhen i turn my phone on its side i dont want it to turn the manilla in any direction (even though with my rom tf3dd is supported in landscape. basically what do i do to make an app not turn in certain directions . which boxes am i supposed to check and which boxes aren't i supposed to check?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
Honest to god - you are the 1st one to say the way the app is set up doesn't make a lot of sense! But i'll try to describe what to do...

Basically - you set your Default to be the directions that you want the majority of your apps rotate. Meaning if you ONLY want your device to rotate to landscape and portrait - then you would only check the 1st two boxes as your Default. An exception is any app you want to rotate differently than your default - thats it. So say you have an app that you don't want to rotate at all - you would add it as an exception and check only the portrait box (because you only want that app to be displayed in portrait).

Let me know if you need more guidance...

The other thing about the link - does it appear in your programs list?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
Haha... -MyHTC- - haven't seen you around in a long time! Its great to know your still a user!
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
hmm... you got cprog with only portrait checked? It shouldn't rotate (or vibrate) @ all... Do you know if the screen was actually rotating? I actually check the power level of the backlight and if changeScreen detects that its off - changeScreen wont vibrate even if the screen does rotate - so thats a little weird. If you can get me more info on that somehow - let me know.

thanks Steve.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] -MyHTC-:
Your app suites my phone quite well, I view it as a must have piece of software.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] StevePritchard:
I've checked, and cprog is in the list, but portrait wasn't checked. I've updated that, and I'll let you know if it happens again, and I can get any more info.

Cheers,

Steve.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] gmanfuzing:
lol im glad im not competely stupid , what you described is what i thought but its not what its doing .

my manila exception doesn't work lol , it goes into landscape when i only have the portrait box checked :[ and i just checked the box then unchecked and saved it to no avail .

okay ptt button . in my start menu i can see the toggle lnk. file , but what i want is for it to show in my start/settings/personal/buttons/ptt long press .

the normal configure shows up but i want to be able to just push the button to turn changescreen on and off .

really if i could get it to work properly i won't need it . because its constantly switching my manilla to landscape when i want it stuck in portrait. also , with the add feature how do you know what to make the name for the app you don't want changing ? thats the real part i don't get . like if i want my throttle lock ( lock screen that has a grid of dots that you connect in your personal patter to unlock the device ) to not change ever do i just tap add then name it throttle lock ? or do i name it what it is in the programs list of the device ? lol im so confused :confused:

::edit:: figured out the ptt button problem , but i still need to figure out the add button and manila issue:[
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
I'll look into the button mapping issue. As for the manila exception are you sure that your TouchFlo3d is called manila?

You can do this by using the Show App Names button. Open the configuration and click the Show App Names button. The configuration screen will close and in the center of the screen will appear the name of the application that is open. If you are on the TouchFlo3D (or today) screen the center of your device should show manila. If it doesn't than you need to change your manila exception to whatever the screen shows when the touchflo screen is open. If you want to know what to enter for your throttle lock exception simply navigate to the throttle lock application and use whatever name the screen shows. You can look at the 1st post in this thread for a screenshot of how the application name will look. After you've got the names you need, open the changeScreen configutaion back up and press Stop. Enter your exceptions and you should be good to go!

Let me know how that works out for you...
