The tomtom thing will also be fixed in the next release. I'm hoping to get it so that you can specify which apps you want to rotate which directions... I also don't want to complicate things to the point that people are turned off by the app... So its coming along slowly but surely...

I'll loko into this but no guarantees on that... Plus if I get the app to act the way I mentioned above, the sensitivity issue will probably not be as apparant as it is now...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
Thanks man glad to hear it. Check back soon (few days or so) for an update!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] benko286:
i cannot understand how can i add app to rotate, i have marked rotate only in excpetion list but i tipe namo of the ap but app is stil rotating, can i somehow add app like on gyrator(inport stylus when app is runing)??
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] X3Mdesign:
great and simple app, perfect ...

just what one thing, to start an app already rotated. could this be added in a future release ?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] CorruptedSanity:
I second this but I think its not part of his work.

His app rotates based on the g-sensor inside.

What you require is forced rotation on a software basis ( as done in the TyTn II or per hack to make the option to rotate in the settings.)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] :
I really like it because it is very simple! You dont have to read a manual to learn how to use it ,and is working excellent.

Hey 600GOL

awesome app, its fast, responsive and just rad :)

buy maybe you can help me man.. i have no idea how to add the dialer and answer incoming call thing is called to add to exception list..

when someone calls me and i pull my phone out my pocket, its normally upside down and the answer screen is obviously upside down when i rotate the phone the correct way around..

you know how to fix?

thanks bud and keep up the great work
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] JonInAtl:
I haven't installed this app yet, I just found the thread, but I wanted to take a second to thank 600GOL for your patience and responsiveness to the people who've installed it.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] ^Rook:
Thank you for your reply :) I'll be keeping an eye out for the next version !

review after 2 weeks of use

ok. using 1.52 on us diamond. this app has no effect on battery life. it works so well i forgot it is installed. the apps that i want to rotate just work. as an added bonus my opera rotates faster as well. prior to this app while in opera the device had to be completely vertical when changing orientation. now ican be tilted. not sure why as i did not specify for this app to rotate opera. great app
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
If you add "phone" to your exceptions that should take care of the dialer, imcoming call and in-call. Let me know otherwise... Also you would have to uncheck the "Always allow 180 degree rotations box".
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
Actually I'm working on something like this for the next release. Not sure its exactly what you're talking about but once the "beta" is out feel free to test and give me your feedback.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
What exactly are you asking? If you have that checkbox checked off it will ONLY rotate the apps that you list... are you sure your putting the correct name of the app that you want to rotate?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
Thats great. Glad you all like it. I'm trying to find time to finish a newer version with a lot of "bug" fixes and resolved issues. It'll be here soon. Hopefully within a couple of days!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] benko286:
600GOL i need to tnx for your wonderfull support,you reply on every question ;)

now i have managed to run all that pretty sweet and fast BUT one problem i cannot rotate in resco picture viewer pro image what i am lookong if you understand me, i can rotate app but when i press to look image it goes back to portrait,onky if i set to rotate all except programs in list than it can rotate,but i prefer rotating only in list ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
The new version should take care of this. A "beta" should be out in a couple days possibly even tomorrow, so check back! Til' then sorry theres nothing we can do...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] benko286:
np i will wait :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] MDtouchDiamond:
I installed the latest version on my Diamond, and it works great for the landscape text! The only thing is with rotating the home screen, and other screens it will take up like 2/3 screen with the image in landscape, and then the other 1/3 will be some wierd jibbirish. haha is this normal? not a huge deal as the main thing I wanted was the lanscape text
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
New BETA version available...

Guys, get ready to test. Its worked fine for me so far. 1st post has the beta download...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] ^Rook:
Hi 600,

Nice to see you've developed a new version :) I installed it just now and I like the new UI. I did find a problem straight away though...:( When I rotate my screen to landscape-mode and then place the phone (Touch HD) on a flat surface it automatically rotates back to portrait. So one cannot use the phone in landscape-mode when it is lying down on for instance ones desk. The earlier version did not have this problem, hope it can be fixed !

Regards,

Rolf
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] MDtouchDiamond:
Im a little confused with the new version how you specify which apps you want to rotate? and I found a issue with the old version with landscape keyboard- when you directly reply to someones text message and go into landscape, as soon as you start typing it goes right back to portrait. This doesn't happen however, when you start a new message and manually type in the contact you want to text
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
Redownload, I posted a new version with a fix for that.

As for how you define exceptions. You first set which directions youd like your device to rotate. This includes any and all applications that are NOT in your exceptions list. So if you want your device to rotate all directions then check all those boxes. Now say youd like your Email and SMS to open up in landscape posistion you would add an exception with the name "tmail" and ONLY check the box under the picture of the landscape positioned phone...

If you dont want to rotate while the dialer or phone is open you would add an exception named "cprog" and leave all the boxes unchecked...

Let me know if you follow...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] bugeyes:
this rocks ! I think you've created the perfect rotate app ! many thanks !:)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] benko286:
man fantasticcccccc job app is amazing and now resco viewr is working :)

amazing

this should be sticky!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
Thanks! Remember... this is beta so any problems please report. I'll put out the "final" version in a couple of days once people have given their input. But thanks for reporting back. Glad it fixed the Resco Viewer problem!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Kangburra:
When in the SMS or mail screen and I rotate the device the keyboard disappears. I can open it again but is this normal?

Touch HD stock ROM.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] ^Rook:
I can confirm this solved the problem, fantastic job ! I'll keep testing :)

Regards,

Rolf
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] MobileXMan:
Great program!

Is the 2.0 beta stable? Then I'm looking forward to download it:)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] arche3:
+1 this should be sticky. Moderators????
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] lpaso:
really good app !

thank you very very much.

Good work !

Edit : the soft seems sometimes to quit itself. I have to launch it again to have the rotation to work again.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
I think its stable enough yes... just minor issues like the one mentioned below that I want to look into before releasing it as final.

Yes I think this is normal. the keyboard automatically switches when in landscape so I guess the OS has it disappear...

I'll look into this. Definately wont happen in the final release... Thanks for posting!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] ahlok_hk:
Hi 600GOL,

I like you app very much! Especially the way to limit the orientation to rotate to.

I would like to suggest one more option. I am not sure what it should be called, maybe it could called stickyness (not the stickyness of mobile-magic). But the idea is to stay at current orientation. The device will change screen orientation until when one of the axis is near zero (e.g. one of the axis is nearly parallel to horizon). That is because when we read the screen we always read it horizontally, not at intermit positions. That will further lower the chance of accidental orientation change.

Sorry for my poor English.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] steiale:
Great App!! I installed the beta and reverted back to 1.54.

As said before it quits itself quite often. But thats what betas are for!!

Keep up the good work and looking forward to the next beta..!! I will try it of course..!!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] benko286:
i would like to suggest one option that we can choose if we want that when we put mobile in face down to suspend device.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
I'll check this out... no guarantees tho.

Well, once I fix the "crashing" ill release a "final" version. Hopefully that one will work better for you!

Would anyone else use this? If enough people want/need it then sure!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] lpaso:
for debugging, I can reproduce the "quits itself" bug.

To do it, I added the "wpctsc" app in the exception list to have the screen rotating only in this app.

When I launch the Remote Desktop app (wpctsc), the screen rotates. Then I click the cross button to quit the Remote Desktop app, and open it again : it doesn't rotate anymore unless I launch again your app.

I hope it will help you.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
thanks man, but for some crazy reason this doesn't happen to me. Maybe give me some more info... What is your "Default" set like? and what program is shown After Remote Desktop exits?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] lpaso:
my "default" is set to "nothing selected".

In fact, I set your app to only rotate the screen when an app is launched.

The program that is displayed is Manila.

Other precisions :

HTC Touch HD / French stock ROM

I'd be pleased to help you to correct this bug ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
Well i developed the App on the touch pro and an English ROM so it might be difficult for me to determine the problem but I'll keep at it. I'll let you know the results...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] MobileXMan:
Till now 1.54 is better. This 2.0 beta is still rotating screens, although they are excepted. That happens at the phone (cprog), also at services. There still a bug, because 1.54 never rotated excluded screens.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
Can you tel me your setup?

If you are still using 2.0 you can send me your file... its "\Windows\changeScreen.config". Maybe copy and paste using TCPMP.

Something must not be set up correctly... I'll make the final version more foolproof (not that you're a fool - just an expression) -- minimize confusion...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] garyt:
Just wanted to say what a great app this is, tried gyrator2 and gsen with mixed results. Do have a question though, once a program has went from portrait to landscape, I'm finding the screen calibration is slightly off. Example: if I bring up the standard QWERTY keyboard and tap the letter "i", I almost always will get the letter "o" next to it.

Is there anyway to calibrate the screen for landscape mode?

Phone is the stock CDMA Diamond

Thanks

GT
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] bugeyes:
one slight bug ive noticed so far , is that the app seems to forget your exceptions occasionally, going back into the config and clicking the enable and run on start up tabs again (they are still ticked when you go in!) seems to get things going again.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] pinele:
can u check please... download link?!?

thank you
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] benko286:
i have also self ending bug,app is just by itself turn off but really sometimes(twice for now)

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] lowrider32119:
Nice Job

Hey good work on the program!

I have had a couple of issues running your software with other software like the FdcSoft TaskMgr, it doesnt load up completely unless I disable the program then it will run good. Had a couple of lock up issues with the S2U2 app.

Other than that it runs smoother and faster than GSen and Gyrator. I do like the apps but they are giving me more issues than yours.

I would suggest making a quick toggle switch like Gsen until you have the majority of the issues worked out.

The biggest improvement I see over the other guys is running S2P. Yours transistions way smoother! It also seems less laggy in normal windows as well.

Keep it up, so far nothing but good coming from this prog. :D

I have a Touch Diamond CDMA with the stock ROM.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
I'll look into it, althoguh most if not all of the "bugs" should be sorted out soon...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Secondbaseman12:
What am i doing wrong?

I Installed the program on my HD, enabled is checked also run on start up.

al the directons are checked i saved it.

when i go to sms or email nothing happens when i rotate the screen.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
Can you send me your configuration file? Its located here:

"\Windows\changeScreen.config"

If you send me it i'll place it on my device and have a look...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] 2revup:
would really love this, I can finnaly do away with Gyrator!

Also has anyone else had problems with flip speed, I find gyrator is a little quicker. I find the first flip once enabled is super responsive, but all others seems to be alot slower 5 or so seconds before it flips, 600 could the polling intervals be to long?

Or am I the only one experinceing this?

Once again I have my Hat off to you 600 brillant job, and even better job listening to the people!!!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
5 seconds?! Whoa... Thats crazy! My device flips in a second or less everytime, unless something else is going on. If it were 5 seconds I wouldn't have even bothered putting it out!

What kind of setup do you have? Just so I can try to understand why it takes so long to flip...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] MobileXMan:
Meanwhile in deinstalled the beta an reinstalled 1.54. The beta is not under control. Sometimes the screen switches, sometimes not, even a programm is excepted not to switch at all, it does it. 1.54 is running well, the beta not.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Cupra TDI:
Your 2.0 beta is not working very well on my Touch HD. Manila is always rotating.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] arche3:
for what its worth... be careful not to bog down your 2.0 with too many features. or else it will be just like the other rotator programs. what I like and why I still use 1.52 is that is is simple. and it rotates really fast on all programs that i want.

the problem with gyrator2 for me is that it got too complicated to use and the rotate was slow.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] MobileXMan:
You are right. In 2.0 it's nice to assign every switch mode. But it's unreliable, somtimes it works, sometimes not. Tested with TomTom7 (should switch and does it not), cprog, SMS (both should not switch and does it).
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] 2revup:
I find on a fresh soft reset its brillant its quick to flip but as soon as my touch pro gets to about 45% mem usage thats it it gets slow response times to flip. I am not running anything out of the ordanry

I have active sync always running and to be honest thats about it.

Still on std ROM (current)

Have background on all screen and transperent top installed, but thats all that I have on it, sure I have a few apps but nothing running in the background.

It almost like I have a memory leak somewhere, but I have read that this is the norm for the touch series.

here is a quick video of it in action

mem at 45% only active sync and blue tooth runnning

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] benko286:
i only have problem with autoshut down,everythung else is perfect,no problems with rotating.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
Guys, try this:

If you have exceptions that have NOTHING checked, check the portrait (1st) box for each of them. Basically make sure that every exception AND the default have at least one box checked! This should take care of your problem for now.

I think the reason that mine has worked and you guys are having problems is because I had my manila exception checked for portrait and reverse portrait.

So bottom line until the final release you must make sure that all your exceptions have at least one box checked off. This will be the portrait box for most of you.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
What do you mean auto Shutdown?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
I agree with you 100%. I tried to make v2.0 as simple as possible, but I guess I left out a few things! It'll be "stable" soon... thats good that you never switched tho, and I'll always have the download on my site for you and the others that like the old version.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] MikeZ:
Works on HD with repeating bug

Hi,

I only use your app to autorotate TomTom 7 on the HD, since there are not enough buttons on it to have a hardwired solution.

It works great at first, placed tomtom in the exclusions list.

After TT started it works all directions until a call comes in or i touch the Home Screen.

When i return to TT7 it just won't tilt anymore.

Even when i then restart TT7.

Edit: My default doesn't have anything checked. After doing so it worked flawlessly.

So a-ok now
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Dreading:
I'm on a CDMA Diamond. I also have the program disable itself sometimes. Usually it is because I hook up to ActiveSync, but sometimes its completely random.

Nice program, though. Excited to have an easier alternative to Gyrator and Flip_it.

Also, if I don't add manila as an exception it starts messing with my clock. My clock won't always forward like it's suppposed to, and I'll think its much earlier than it really is.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] ocram72:
Agree with you: checking at least one box all the problems solved :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] disciplexda:
nice tool. I use it for my Touch HD. especially the easy configuration.

However it seems to have a bug. everytime i start the tool it works fine for a few minutes and then it stops working.. it doesn't tilt the screen anymore. The only solution is to open the tool again.

I have checked all the boxes for screen rotation. I have added the dialer as an exception.

I think it has something to do with the (landscape) keyboard. The tool stops working after I have used the landscape keyboard.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
Updated BETA (v2.1) available!

Please let me know your results! Sorry about all the "runaround" with the BETA and the application seeming as though it quit. I've been able to recreate a lot of the errors that you guys were getting and I've addressed them so that they no longer occur on my device.

Please let us know your results. We're getting closer and closer to the app that everyone wants...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Cupra TDI:
Good job! I'll also test v2.1. As I mentioned already, I like the autostart possibility and the easy handling of your software!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Atsee:
almost perfect

I like the program and use it. Tried the new 2.1 Beta

Looks very good but still has some minor imperfections to be solved.

opera9 as an exeption will tilt the screen as it originally should do but then it quickly turns back automatically. So you can't turn it horizontally.

Sometimes Manila still tilts (set as an exeption) if coming back from a tilted program.

HTC Diamond

ROM 2.03
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Cupra TDI:
manila is stil rotating in v2.1 on my Touch HD. It happened, when I woke up my device from Standby and unlocked it with S2US. When the "lock" was open, the screen seems to be broken, but it was your tool.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
Okay, just to be sure...

Your Opera9 exception should have NO boxes checked.

You manila exception should have MINIMUM one box checked (use the portrait box). This should do it for you...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
I will try to install S2U2 to reporduce this error. Does your manila exception have the portrait box checked?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] ajm144k:
im not 100% but i think somtimes QuickMenu 2.8 closes this app when I use the Hibernate function.

the thing is, its not everytime i use hibernate. ive played around with it and cant reproduce this everytime... but it has happened right after i've hit hibernate a few times.

oh, and i am using the 2.0 beta. i should probably try 2.1??
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Atsee:
No boxes checked for opera9 but still goes to landscape if when I turn it and then goes to porttrait automatically without me turning the phone.

And the other thing is the sometimes turning of manila. If I start Google maps, go to landscape then close it (in landscape) it will mess up manila. But because of your tip to check the portrait box, it goeds back to normal.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
Yes definately try 2.1

If it does not solve the problem let me know and I'll download QuickMenu and try to weed out the problem...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
The Opera issue sounds really weird. I've never had this happen. Anyone else? If you havent added too many exceptions, try resetting the defaults...
