I think I have the same type of problem. I have everything disabled by default. To test, I enabled all 4 orientations for googlemaps. I load googlemaps and rotate. If I quit googlemaps when the phone is in regular portrait, then it's ok. But if I exit googlemaps while the phone is in landscape, it won't auto-rotate when I load googlemaps up again.

Maybe this scenario is easier to reproduce than the other map program.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] puhonder:
Man ,

your application is really very good.

I use it since the first version you've released.

New beta is more functional and advanced , good job.

I have one sugestion :

As the user make list of applications and set orientation for all of them,

can you implement resolution settings to every item in the list.

So to make combination with a program like wvgafix3_by_cotulla for example.

If ppl are interested in this please write here :)

Good luck.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
I still can't reproduce the problem using these steps for some reason, but I have an idea what the problem may be. Instead of having none of the boxes checked for default, check ONLY the portrait box. I suppose it makes sense to make sure that at least one of the boxes is checked, or else the exceptions with no boxes will end up in the same rotation as the application that was opened before them. If that didn;t make sense sorry.

Hi,

I found a bug that, even though I have put s2u2 in exception list, sometime this program still will rotate it. It happened twice for me. Both times happened after my mobile turned to screen off mode (locked by s2u2), and activate back. It doesn't happen all the time.

Thank you

Super app! No problems, gyrator is dead.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Eriol:
Hello!

I have a Blackstone and must say that ChangeScreen works superb here. One question: I have to use the WM6 implemented password protection - and I do not know how to prevent ChangeScreen from rotating the password dialpad screen. Sometimes this screen is not rotated correctly ... What is the name of this app? If I enter the menu title (in German: "Kennwort") it does not help.

Thanks!

Eriol
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
Have you tried the Show App Names button. If you click that button and then lock your phone (so that the password screen is shown) - it will show you exactly what name to add to your exceptions list.

Pocketdos

I have some problems on my HD with Pocketdos. Pocketdos can not start before I tilt the phone.

If I stop ChangeScreen pocketdos starts without problems.

To start Pocketdos with Changescreen on I have to start pocketdos (nothing happens) find a program that works with Changescreen and tilt the phone, Pocketdos will pop up and start.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Philip:
I am another convert from Gyrator2 - nice program, but just more complex than I really need.

I have noticed one issue (bug???) with V2.5 of ChangeScreen on my Blackstone ...

I have 2 "default" orientations, portrait upright and landscape left (i.e., the first 2 options on the General tab).

When I am in the Today screen, if I physically rotate my phone by 90 degrees to the left (i.e. to landscape, with the top of the phone on the left), then the orientation correctly changes to landscape. If I then rotate a further 90 degrees (i.e., with the phone upside down - the USB socket at the top), the orientation changes back to portrait, but in "upright" orientation (i.e., I am looking at a screen which is upside down)! This does not seem to me to be correct behaviour!

(If I start with the phone upright and rotate it by 90 degrees to the right, then - correctly - nothing happens. If I rotate a further 90 degrees to the right - so that the phone is again upside down - again nothing happens, which is what I would expect.)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] mtcerio:
Dear all,

I love this screen rotation app, it's easy but powerful enough.

I have a problem though, and I think it's related with changeScreen. The problem is widely discussed here, but summarising: when using the TouchFlo music player with earphones, sometimes the sound stops. The player bar keeps advancing, meaning that the player is actually playing, but no sound. There's no sound in all the other applications as well (including phone, ecc.), meaning that the audio driver somehow crashed.

I realised that this crash happens when changeScreen detect the "upside down" gesture and puts the phone into standby. In fact, when music is playing in TouchFlo with earphones, the device does not go into standby, even with the button, but just into "display off" mode, to keep playing the mp3. The standby is invoked by changeScreen.

Now the issue is that the changeScreen standby event is not only putting the device into standby while an mp3 is playing, but also (which is worse) causing the audio driver to crash (sometimes).

The workaround so far is of course to disable the "standby gesture" in changeScreen when using the mp3 player. If I may, I would suggest something for the next version: to add an exception to the standby event when playing an mp3.

This will make this app even more usable than it is, at least for me!

Thanks,

maTTeo
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
Read this post for an explanation...
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
Weird... It definately shouldn't have that behavior. I'll look into it for the next release.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
Yeah... sorry about this man. All changeScreen does is emulate the power button being pressed. I've noticed tho that if you physically press the power button the music will continue... Its something I definately have to look into for the next release...
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] mtcerio:
You kidding... you don't have to be sorry for this "bug"! The program you have written is amazing and I am grateful you put it freely available for everybody!

It's just that, if you plan to improve it further, this may be something to make it even better!

Thanks

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Goenie2008:
Hi, I couldn't find if this was mentioned already, but whenever the app changes to landscape (i.e. iexplore), the scroll doesn't work properly. Fingerswiping is fine, but using the up/down on the scrollbar makes it work like page-up/down.

Thanks for the great app thought!:)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] MrRalphMan:
I have a similar issue with Sashimi, sometime, but not all the time, when I start it the first part (Status) goes through and then hangs.

If I then start Change Screen it then comes up.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] scottspa74:
AMAZING!!!! screenChange

600GOL, amazing! thank you. My phone is now what it was meant to be. I tried gyrator but didn't fully understand where/how to install .net 3.5, i tried gsen, and despite all the studying up I did before-hand and reading glitches, I COULD NOT get it to work- after every attempt, a let down.

I just came across your app, installed it, set exceptions (which you made super simple), and turned it on - expecting it to not work. IT WORKED BEAUTIFULLY FROM "GO". Brilliant my brother. (I was in such shock, i about shat)

I have a Sprint CDMA DIAMOND ROM 1.09. (I haven't figured oit yet how to update ROM, or even why, but I'm tryin to). Even worked with skyfire. Again, thanks so much.

Much praise, man. Thank you.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
I'm working on a remedy for this in the next version. (Hopefully out within the next week or so).
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
Haha. Thats the kinda stuff I like to hear! Great man. Any probs let me know. Keep an eye out for the upcoming version.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] master312:
hi

i don't like it when i turn my htc touch hd it only shows half view not full screen does any body knows one that work really good with the hd please help
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
I really hate this. The whole idea & entire tone of this thread is to promote and correct the issues that users (including you) had with the app so that we could all benefit from it - not to completely dismiss it.

Id much rather try to help you figure out why it doesn't work correctly with your device than give you alternatives. Maybe show us all a screenshot? Or give a little bit more detail regarding your problem?

If not and you'd rather just try the others theres GSEN, Flip-IT and Gyrator...

Let me know if you want that help...
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] bbonzz:
Seems he's trying to rotate the wrong manila version: the stock rom manila can't rotate at all (it keeps going back to portrait since landscape isn't supported), while in some cooked topaz/rhodium lanscape isn't well implemented (and when rotating it shows only half screen, as described). So it's not a changescreen issue, but a manila one.

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] brusko1972:
I love this app. tried gyrator and gsen before finding your app and I must say it is so easy to setup. gyrator gave me a headache trying to figure out how to rotate apps. I even installed it on my brothers touch diamond and hes loving it. keep up the good work and thanks a lot for this app!:D
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
It's great to hear that it works for the people who didn't have the time or energy for Gyrator. It has served its purpose well so far. New version will be out in the coming week or so. Keep an eye out.

Thanks again!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] scottspa74:
found one minor glitch, kinda

600GOL,

I tried the 'feed my son' link. I have no bank acct or cards. I'll figure something out though, cuz I'm so stoked about this.

In any casev I DID come across an issue (and it may not even be correctable, and i t hink I understand why). If one window is open (opera) that's in exceptions withno specidic conrols attached, and you try to open another non-built-in rotatw window (services) and click on services to get alerts, it goes to portrait andcloses. I tried putting services in my exceptions (like opera is) and checking off my default rotations, but that didn't work either. Is it because you cant have a built-in rotate program (opera-in exceptions unchecked) and a non-built-in rotate (services- thats in excwptions checked) open at the same time? Damn, does this post make any sense to? I tried toget specific, but fear I only got too convoluted.

anyhow, still love this software. thankyou
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] scottspa74:
I'm an idiot

my apologies. 30 sec after i posted about keylock issue i figured it out. (had ro put gwes in exceptions) sorry, I'm a newbie. 2mo ago i had never touched WM, prior to that never even touched a PC (I know, crazy).

anyhow, sorry for stupid ?s, and thanks a thousand times.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] skyli91:
Hi!

I like your program 600GOL! You made it fast, easy to understand and it has the funcions what we need :) Thank you!

What is SIP?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] gacowarlock:
Possible Bug?

After some days of usage, my device is often confused meaning that it keeps the landscape view or rotates to this view even if I hold it upright.

I set manila to be in portrait mode, and mostly it is. Sometimes, when I turn on the screen, the same phenomenon appears, in spite of the exception, the manila is displayed in landscape mode.

My current remedy is simply to open the changeScreen program and click again on "Save" and everything goes back to normal again for some days.

BTW, I have the newest version 2.5 from March. Does anyone has a solution for that?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
Thats fine dude. Don't worry about it. Are you saying that you have services in your exceptions with no boxes checked? (Because thats what it should be...)

np

Thanks! SIP means Software Input Panel. In otherwords its the onscreen keyboard...
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
I'm including a fix for this in the next release. The program will restart itself every so often. I'm not really sure why it gets confused yet but ill get it eventually...
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] bobi1326:
This is fantastic aplication. None other aplications this type not working in my diamond, only this aplication meet my requirements :)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] jetjockgordo:
600GOL,

I will add my thanks for a very useful program. I have tried several other g-sensor programs and yours does seem to be stable and very easy to use. My Touch HD has not suffered any increased battery use or performance decreases. Your approach to the UI is excellent!

If you are still accepting any ideas for the next version, could I ask that the face down screen off function just turn off the screen as opposed to putting it in sleep mode (same function as short pressing the power button). I only ask this because when I have my HD tethered to my PC the WMDC link is severed when I place the unit face down (I can hear the sound of a USB device being unplugged when this happens). I also use G-Alarm and my alarms become unreliable when face down.

Simply put, could the face down option have a true "screen off" as opposed to "sleep mode" function?

Besides that very minor issue, I really appreciate the simplicity of the program. Please don't fall victim to making into bloatware!

Many regards,

Gordo
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] MrRalphMan:
After flashing to Dutty's new ROM I remember now what I was going to suggest. For the next release can you release an UC version of the CAB file, one that does not launch the app when run?

This way when I use Sashimi to install everything I don't need to cancel out of the app when it's installed.

Cheers,

Paul.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Mandragore:
+1, I'd like this as well.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] skyli91:
Hello! Thanks for explaining the SIP!

Do you know where are the OS rotation settings in the registry?

I think i have to remove them :D Now when i'm in landscape there is a little bug when changing the volume with htcvolume. Also when opening the phone settings in comm manager in landscape. The phone vibrates 3 and changes back to portrait and then back to landscape. Same with connecting to pc too. How can i solve these problems? I have Dutty's 3.2 and disabled Flip-it.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] skyli91:
Fixed it :D Disabled the flip service :)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
Yeap. The version i'm testing right now (out for you all soon) has this already...

Sure. Next release

+1 - Sure. Next release

Glad to hear that!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] gfreek:
600GOL I have been using your app for quite some time on many different roms and have not had any issues excelent work sir!!:D

As you are planing to release an update I have one small request as a regular flasher it is difficult for me to remember to export the settings before every flash therefore is it possible for you to allow one to save the configuration file? rather have it deleted once I have imported the settings in the current version.

Many thanks!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] scottspa74:
still cant seem to correct it

hi, hey i saw your reply regarding my question about SERVICES in landscape mode while browsing opera. You suggested SERVICES in exceptions with no checkmarks. I tried that. I also tried with checks in only the rotations i want, and i also tried removing it completely from exceptions. nothing seems to work.

I consider this a minor minor issue, this software is still the GREATEST and most straightforward and reliable rotate app I've seen. Thanks again. ROM version 1.09 (if that helps)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Mr-Fly:
Hi.

Great tool, but sometimes it seems to me, that it switches to early to landscape, with only a little tilt ?

Would be great to make it configurable somehow, how much the device has to be tilt to landscape for it to turn.

Regards Thorsten
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] mainsail:
This problem is just posted for me in other post. Waiting for possible fix, actualy i can access to processes turning device when TaskMgr crash. Action in changeScreen on turning let to TaskMgr go on with your proccess. Try it.

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] fontebuona:
Hi I am running CS 2.5 on my TOUCH HD it has gone fine for week but now keeps crashing, I tried everything, including uninstalling and reinstalling, but I cannot find a solution or even worse, a hint. Is there a way to activate a log to try tracing the problem? Thanks Carlo
[Touch HD 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...

On wm 6.1 it worked perfectly.

I tried it on wm 6.5 but after few resets I decided to uninstall it.

Maybe a new version is coming out?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] MrRalphMan:
I'm having some issues with 6.5 too, see here
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Iceberger:
Well, With R1 the problems are still the same.

It seems ChangeScreen conflicts with the new mechanism within this new ROM.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] MrRalphMan:
Wierd thing is that I flashed R1 last night and ChangeScreen seems to work now.. :confused:

Still not 100% convinced and will do more testing.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] fontebuona:
Hi I still use WM 6.1, but I have found Changescreen conflicts with Topaz dialer. It always crashes when answering or making a call, thus opening the dialer.

This happens both having cprog set as an exception or removing it from the exception list.

The only way I found to solve the problem is overwriting the Topaz dialer with the Rhodium dialer.

I have a Blackstone and I use a very good quality cooked rom, Nextgen 1.7

Thanks Carlo

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Bimme:
nice app, and nice new features compared to v1.54.

but i still prefer the old 1.54, cause it rotates much faster than the new one, especially when rotating manila....
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] fontebuona:
Thanks I have been eagerly awaiting this version, unfortunately there is what I think could be a bug.

If I hold my Blackstone horizontally and I tilt it down, even before reaching the flat position it rotates to the vertical position.

I mean I am reading an article on Opera horizontally and lean it back to see it better but it starts rotating. This is not influenced by the sensibility slider you added in preferences.

This behaviour was not present in version 2.5 and unfortunately makes this version totally unusuable for me, for this reason I have reverted to version 2.5.

I hope you can fix this, thanks for this superlative application Carlo
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] orlith:
Hi

Thx for this apps I'm just discovering. Nice one

I encounter a "bug" with tomtom. few seconds after a rotate the windows titlte bar appears. That's a little annoying but not at all critical.

Not sure if this is my issue or not, but I've just downloaded and installed from the 2.76 link and the program still states it's 2.751.

You got the right version. I forgot to change the text on it! sorry about that!

Same here, but AppToDate (which is now working - many thanks!) reports the version as 2.76, so I suspect that 600GOL just forgot to change it in the About screen.
