Chiiiiiiiiillllllllllllllllllll people! I think i'll make you both happy and just add it as an option in the advanced or help section so that when you have the boxed checked it will change the registry setting. Sound good?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
Sorry dude - read next post...
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
Sorry people - Bad news

I regret to tell you all that I recently burned out my touch pro...

I have a heated mug that I keep in my car which runs off of 12 volts and without thinking I put that into the phone... and left it there........... until I started to smell the burning!

Anyway - I hadn't finished the development of the latest version of changeScreen. There was still a few bugs that I needed to resolve before I put it out for you all. I don't know when I'll be getting a new device (hopefully soon) so I'm going to need some help from a few of you.

Basically - I need a few people that are willing to install the new version of changeScreen on their devices and tell me wtf I screwed up so I can fix it - and we could put it out here for the rest of the changeScreen users.

Again - really sorry. I know a lot of you have been waiting for this next version! I'm f****n pissed too - I just got Pandora working after weeks of trying!!! and now I have to go from an awsome HTC device to a motorola razr!

PM me if you want to try out the new version - I'll have it ready in a couple days for some of you to test (if you want) - or we could all just wait.

Please only PM me if you really have the time to test out the new version. If you just want the feature in it don't bother cuz you'll just be disappointed if and when they don't work correctly!

Thanks!

Thanks
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] WaltA:
Sounds good. Thanks! ;)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Wiggz:
Am I right in thinking that this "fix" is supposed to STOP the bar turning up or allow it to disappear after a period of time....as it's still there for me.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Balthazar81:
Got it! It was the screenlock called 'gwes'. Thanks alot.. :)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] WaltA:
:eek:

Sorry, incredibly sorry to read about your horrible misfortune.

:(
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
Great to hear that did it!

Did you reset your device after replacing the file?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
I should (hopefully) be getting another one within a couple of weeks...
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Wiggz:
yup just done it again and i still get the topbar when i rotate!#

EDIT: Just replaced again with Total Cmdr....and it worked...my bad
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] 600GOL:

Screen Wakes Up

Hey 600GOL,

Thank you for taking all of my suggestions/discoveries and doing an amazing job. So far, no crashes, no bull****, it just works. Even TaskMgr does not trip when your EXE is running.

The biggest feature I really wanted (and you delivered) was the screen-down event to turn the screen off.

One enhancement would make my life easier... whenever a notification wakes up the phone, it keeps the screen on until I tilt the phone is some direction then face-down again to turn it off again. I have my screen on most bright setting and that actually causes a temporary burn-in of pixels onto my screen. It would be cool if your app recognized that the screen is still down and in 30 seconds (let's say or some configured interval) it would turn off the screen again.

Thanks so much for considering my blurbs!

2.79 Beta in progress...

A few people are testing the 2.79 BETA version now & things are coming along well considering I still don't have a device... I should be getting a new device sometime this coming week - so expect the final 2.79 release next week as well.

Thanks for all the patience!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
I see what you are saying - I'll definately look into it!

Works 100%

With the latest version it works 100%.

Really amazing software. Exactly what it was needed for the TD2.

Thanks!

Hi, I've just started trying out ChangeScreen (coming from Flip IT) on Dutty R9 Turbo WM 6.5, and I've noticed that S2P's autorotation feature doesn't seem to work with ChangeScreen. Doesn't matter whether S2P is setup in the Exception list or not either.

Worked fine with Flip IT however. What should happen normally with S2P is that when I rotate the Touch HD to landscape, S2P plays out a rotation animation (like Opera 9.7) and then switches to landscape mode. With ChangeScreen installed, S2P simply "flashes" once but doesn't actually change to landscape mode; it stays in Portait mode no matter how I rotate my phone.

Adding "s2p" to the exception list just gets rid of the "flash" when attempting to rotate s2p; the app stays in portait mode still. I believe this issue might have been reported before, but XDA forums doesn't seem to allow search in threads where the search term is < 3 characters....

Would be nice if this is fixed in the next release. Thanks!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] DomeSL:
The same here. But it is a great app anyway.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] omarnova:
this app works great for me but for example if i just want skyfire to rotate and not manila and nothing else just skyfire how do i do so

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] junda15:
may i know wat are the common application that you guys allow it to rotate and what common application you guys put it in the exceptions ??

thanks for the guide everybody.

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] WaltA:
I have it force Need For Speed Undercover to rotate. The game is far far better in landscape.

In contrast, I have it force Lee's Flight Sim for Diamond to

never

rotate. The game can't handle drawing in landscape correctly.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
There should be a fix for this listed in the 1st post... Does it not work?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
Sorry about that dude. I'll have to check that out and get back to you...
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
your Default must only have the portrait box checked - and you need an exception with the named skyfire with all boxes checked.

Unfortunately there were some things that I need to adjust and now that I have a device I could do so. I'll take some time over the next couple of days and tweak up the next version according to some of the suggestions / bugs mentioned to me by the list above.

Sorry again to everyone thats been patiently waiting for the next release. It'll be here soon...
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] mradlmaier:
Did not work on my HTC Touch HD. Nothing happened. Maybe i did not use it correctly or misunderstand, what changeScreen is supposed to do. Wanted to force skyfire to rotate to landscape always. But did not rotate.

I want something very very simple: Manually control the screen rotation same as on my old Trinity. I dont need the ****ing GSenor switch automatically. That´s one of the stupid things which the iphone brought into fashion.:mad:toy for boys...

Give me back control!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] WaltA:
Possibly this isn't the correct app for your needs?

ChangeScreen itself doesn't take any existing manual control away. It doesn't, for example, stop the screen switching to landscape when I open up my keyboard.

stop program via script or shortcut

How to stop the program via shortcut.

I dind´t find an answer within this thread.

Your startup shortcut in windows/autostart/ uses "changeScreen_conf.exe" start .

Can I stop it in similar way? ("changeScreen_conf.exe" stop doesn´t run)

I need this because I use shell32 only in Landscape mode.

When starting Navigator 7 I need to stop changeScreen and rotate to 90°manually via script BEFORE Navigon Navigator is starting. Your program will just rotate after Navigon process is detected - but then it is just too late for Navigon. Currently I use "toggle" but it is not secure enough because this needs that changeScreen has to be started to switch it off via toggle. Otherwise it will start screenRotation - but this is what I like to avaid.

Enclosed the code (maybe for better understanding):
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] im@c:
some times (after SR for example) exeption apps didnt rotate...so i have to manualy update check-box Enable and it starts work correctly...could you fix it? in SKTools - chScreen always active in process list, but start working only after manual re-cheking "Enable" box

thnks 4 the great effort ,nicely workin on my hd
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] ANDYx1975:
hey thanks for this app...it's really great...I got some smaller issues...maybe you can help me. I cook my own rom and make an oem of changescreen. The package works great. I set up my blacklist and exportet the list. This list I inserted into my oem package which affects that when I start changeScreen for the first time, my export will be used as the default settings of changescreen. So far so good...works perfekt. But now I can not edit the blacklist in changescreen directly...when I save my changes and start changscreen_conf...they are not there. So what can I do?

A second thing is...isn't it much easier to work with a whitlist instead of a blacklist? I often got some issues which applications...e.g. when I start an app for example "PocketShield" and I close the shieldlock, manila appears, but it rotates...even it's listed on the blacklist. This was just an example I had similiar isses in the past with other examples. I guess working with whitelists will affect that way less bugs will appear. Another thing is that most people don't want to many applications rotated. So setting up the blacklist is a horrible work.

Hi,

I have just flashed my device with the new official Orange 1.59 ROM. Previously I had been using GSen for screen rotation. However, found it quite annoying how it would keep trying to rotate Manilla, despite having it in the exceptions. Which is why I found myself here after updating the ROM.

ChangeScreen so far seems good. However, I found that I had a problem with the title bar showing in full screen apps (such as Opera & Core Player).

Referring to this thread, I downloaded the "fix for full screen apps showing title bar after rotation". However I cannot copy it over the existing file!!!

I am aware that system files cannot be overwritten with the standard file explorer, but I couldn't do it via ActiveSync or Resco Explorer either.

Could someone please advise how I can apply this fix?

Many thanks,

Simon
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] SilentBob:
Ok, I d/loaded & installed Total Commander, which did let me copy over the original LargeTitleBar.dll file. After a soft reset I could see that this had indeed worked, & the title bar no longer appears on full screen apps.

However...

Now it has removed the "large icons" function. Now when I tap the status icons at the top it no longer shows me the big icons which allow me to make sure I hit the right one. Instead it goes straight to the hit function (volume, battery level, etc).

Is there either:

- a fix to re-enable the large icons?

- a version of LargeTitleBar.dll that does not remove this function?

If neither of these is possible, then unfortunately I may have to go back to GSen & put up with the occasional Manila rotate. :(

Thanks,

Simon
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] SilentBob:
AAAAAARRGGGHH!!!!

ChangeScreen must change something on install that causes the problem with title screen on full screen apps.

I reinstated my original LargeTitleBar.dll file, and disabled ChangeScreen. I wanted to leave it installed just incase someone comes up with a fix. I then installed GSen. But...

Still getting the title bar displayed when I rotate CorePlayer playing in full screen. So decided that I need to (unfortunately) uninstall ChangeScreen.

However, having uninstalled ChangeScreen & performed another soft reset, I am still getting the title bar in full screen apps. This was never an issue with GSen previously, so I can only assume that it is due to a change made in the installation of ChangeScreen.

Looks like I am going to have to hard reset & setup my phone up from scratch again. :'(

Is this something that could be fixed in a future release? I really don't want the title bar in full screen apps, but equally I want to keep my "System Status" screen.

Thanks!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] SilentBob:
I'm gonna lose my mind soon! I have just finished rebuilding my phone after a hard reset. Have installed all my previous apps, etc. This time I installed GSen (as before). However, I am still getting the same title bar problem with full screen apps. I am thinking that this can mean one of two things:

1) The problem was never related to ChangeScreen, but rather was a difference between the 1.19 & 1.59 ROMs.

2) It is because of a change made by ChangeScreen, but as it has affected ROM files, the only way to fix will be (presumably?) to re-flash the ROM.

Can anyone shed some light (and keep me sane)? I really don't want to do another re-build. It is so annoying.

Many thanks,

Simon
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] SilentBob:
Tonight I have re-flashed the Orange 1.59 ROM & re-setup & re-installed everything on the phone. However, this time I installed GSen but not ChangeScreen. I can now confirm...

That this behaviour must be the result of differences in the new ROM. I am still getting the title bar in full screen apps.

So the good news is that I can re-install ChangeScreen instead of GSen.

The bad news is that I still have no ideal fix for the title bar problem. The DLL linked in the 1st post removes the system status screen, so is not something that I wish to use. To anyone else who had this problem, which ROM versions were you running?

Is there an alternative fix that anyone else is aware of, that will retain the system status screen?

I may try running ChangeScreen on my wifes handset, which is still on the 1.19 ROM. This will then 100% confirm that this is an issue with the ROM version differences.

Thanks,

Simon

ChangeDcreen V2.78

I downloaded the changescreen on my htc touch hd which worked very well, however, my question is this, when I go to the sites that the touch flo-3D already rotates like you tube and opera that came included in the touch hd, the screen will rotate then go very small on me. The software works well on other items which is not controlled by the touch flo-3D. Also, when the touch flo screen is in portrait, the changescreen software will rotate it to landscape which is OK but shows just 1/2 the screen leaving the other half completely black rather than alowing the balance of the touch flo screen to be seen. Is there something I am NOT doing or something I need to do for this to all operate together.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] SilentBob:
harrihippi: You must make sure any apps that rotate themselves or that shouldn't rotate are in the exceptions list. Manila (TF3D) should already be in there, as is Opera, so I don't know why you should be having problems with these? The YouTube app certainly needs to be added too.

Now onto my own issues that I have been bogging down this thread with... :D

I have carried out a couple of further tests that prove these title bars not to be related to ChangeScreen or even to the G Sensor. It is purely an orientation issue on newer ROMs.

1) I installed ChangeScreen on my wife's 1.19 ROM, and everything is perfect. :cool:

2) I turned off any auto-rotate on my 1.59 ROM & assigned screen rotation to a long press of the call answer button. When in a full screen app & using this method low & behold I get the title bar.

With this all proved (to myself more than anything), this issue now clearly doesn't really belong in this thread, as any rotation method will cause the same behaviour.

Thanks for your ears all the same. :)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] saifiraq:
works perfect

this works perfectly! the best feature: can slect applications to start in portrate or landscape! works perfectly!:)

changescreen on htc touch hd

I did in fact download this changescreen on my HTC TOUCH HD and it don't seem to want to cooperate with the YOU TUBE area which is controlled by the htc touch flo-3D. I went to exceptions and tapped ADD then typed in YOU TUBE as my exception, when I went to you tube, it came up as usual played full screen about 5 seconds then went completely tiny on me. I returned to the exceptions section of changescreen making sure it was still there which it was. I deleted it and placed it back again, tapped SAVE and it still gives me the blues. Then right after it acts up with the you tube, and I'm back to portrait glancing at programs or settings, it jumps into the landscape mode without my turning my device, it will do this as soon as I tap the X close button. What am I doing wrong here. Please help, I adore the software and what it stands for, I just need changescreen and touch hd to cooperate with each other. Ater uninstalling the changescreen I returned to you tube and it performed as usual, so theres nothing wrong with the installed you tube that came with the device.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
try "/Windows/changeScreen.exe" start. See if that works...
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
Dude - all you need is an exceptions named skyfire with the 2nd (landscape) box checked. That'll do it for you. Keep all the default exceptions (the ones with no boxes checked) there just so changeScreen wont mess with the rest of your apps.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
This happened to people using a certain dialer. Maybe this is your issue too? Check the 1st post. there is a fix for that...
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
I see what you're saying about the whitelist. Maybe it does make sense. I'll have to put some more thought into it to really give you an answer - but i'll definately consider it.

About the defaults - it probably wont overwrite the settings because you are including the changescreen.config file directly in your ROM. I can't remember the old version (I'm currently using the new version - not put out yet) but if there is a button named Export Defaults - use that button. Again - it might not be there I really cant remember if I included it in the last release. Rest assured tho there is that feature (to use your own defaults) in the next version.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
It sucks talking to yourself... Sorry I've been out of it for a while. You've figured out everything on your own it seems like. I don't know why its giving you those problems - I don't think that has happened to other people here - but I can assure you that changeScreen doesn't overwrite anything already on your device...

Let us know if you (ever) find a solution.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
you need to have an exception named youtube (all one word) with NO boxes checked. This will allow you tube to rotate all on its own without changeScreen messing with it.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
You need to use the Show App Names button and then open coreplayer and read what it shows on the screen. Add that to your exzceptions list with NO boxes checked! That should do it.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] janne_s:
There is no app. that only rotatate the programs I tell it to?

Now I must ad so much to the exclusion list so I get tired of these things.

I ONLY want to rotate SMS and EMAIL so I can write in landscape mode, I do NOT want to rotate any aother program (except those who use it by default, Opera for example).

Thanks...
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] WaltA:
Can you set the default to

only portrait

, then set exceptions to that for just SMS and EMAIL, and set the exceptions to

only landscape

?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] skb3:
Hi guys, I hoped someone could help me, I have tried versions 2.78 and also 2.5 and neither work. It is all installed; reset defaults and nothing, doesn't rotate any app, I particulary wanted this for SMS. If any1 could help I would be most grateful.

Thanks.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Seifer1975:

Occasional long lag in rotating screen

I have always had a minor little annoyance with this app, and that is sometimes it will rotate the screen within a second or two of my rotating the phone, and sometimes it takes 30 seconds or so to rotate the screen.

Is anyone else experiencing this occasional lag? :confused:

It isn't because changeScreen has crashed, because it will eventually rotate. And I am at the home/Today screen, with no apps obviously running, sucking up the CPU's time.

If so, there is an interesting discussion going on right now over in TICST, starting in post 914 on page 92. That discussion is a bit over my head, but it something about Transient Notifications being far faster to respond than Persistent Notifications.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] danielng7:
it take too long to rotate. we need to improve it more in order to compare with iphone
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] WaltA:
Well, to be fair, have you ever read the fine print at the bottom of the screen during Apple/AT&T's iPhone commercials? They confess to editing out all the delay and lag. :eek:
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] SilentBob:
To be fair, ChangeScreen simply sends the command to rotate the screen. You will probably find exactly the same lag when changing the orientation manually.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] ArtieQ:
What has iPhone to do with this application? Who cares if the iPhone rotates faster lol, 0.5-1 second is fine with me.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] SilentBob:
Also, am I correct in thinking that the iPhone employs an animated transition effect which manages to dupe you into thinking that the rotation is faster than it actually is? That's certainly the impression that I get from the ads.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] :
Real nice program m8, love it!
