[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Eric Walter:
device buttons still work when screen is off

I'm using changeScreen v2.78 on a Rhodium. And for the first time, I can use the music player with the display off. As when I would physically press the power button, music would stop. It continues with changeScreen v2.78, as it should. Really nice!!!

There's one little nag I've got: When the display is turned off by changeScreen, all the buttons on the device like volume, phone, etc. still work. This is ok for volume. But it's not so great to accidentally activate the phone with the TP2 in my pocket.

Could you add something like a "whitelist"? Something vice versa to the exceptions list. A list where everything you add rotates, but other programs don't. The same rights management as the exceptions list would be great.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Seifer1975:
You can simulate a whitelist by just setting the Default to have portrait orientation only. Then you can add the items you want to rotate in the exception list and check more orientations.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Pr0sper:
Thats tricky, but makes totally sense :) Thanks for the tip!

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] SilentBob:
What ROM are you using?

I have the same problem, but I don't believe that it is this software to blame. It only became a problem for me after updating to the Orange 1.59 ROM. So far, however, I have very little information to go back to HTC with regarding which ROMs are affected.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Aussi:
no updates so far??
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] R4id3n:
I use the normal o2 rom ver. 1.57

grezz
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] SilentBob:
O2 ROM? Are you in the UK? As far as I was aware there were only two options in the UK:

1) Orange ROM (for those officially tied to an Orange contract)

2) HTC ROM (for those either bought sim free or via 3rd party as part of a deal on any network).

So I am guessing that yours would be the standard HTC 1.57 ROM.

FYI: I have logged this as a fault with HTC, but this does give me extra information that I can feed back to them. I.e. It is not just Orange ROMs affected.

Thanks.

I tried Benko's last ROM, that have changescreen 2.79 and it worked very well, I was really impressed. Now I changed ROM to Windows Revolution by michal_banszel and I installed changescreen 2.78 (cuz it's the latest you provide), but it left a black bar on the side if I rotate to landscape mode.

So where I can get 2.79 version??:confused::confused:

Man it was perfect and fast..
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] fishboy:
This might be what you are looking for:

http://idevelopstuff.com/dev/wm/Fuze/changeScreen/BETA/changeScreen_v2.79_testing_cab_inst.CAB

Note that this appears to be a beta and not officially released/supported yet that I can tell, so there may be some bugs.

Also there is mention on the first post of a fix provided by another poster (post #522) for the black bar, which involves replacing a dll. See this post: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=3920829&postcount=522
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Thaoldwise:
Tnx man! I'll try instantly
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Thaoldwise:
MMMM no, it doen't work damn!

On the Benko's ROM with 2.79 version if I rotate the screen on landscape mode the manila rotates good, but with my current rom(michal_banszel's Window revolution), both with 2.79 or 2.78 version (with applied largetitlebar.dll cure), it remains always a "dirty" bar on the right side of screen, black or with a piece of manila.

Anyone knows if there's a way to make it works in the right way or am I the only one getting this problem?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Rudikent:
Nice program

works really well

There are indeed some bugs with that beta test version. In particular with the sleep on face down option.

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Macflurry:
Great app but I have 1 problem that niggles at me.

When using TomTom the task bar flashes up at the top of the screen and you have to tap the start button twice to get rid of it. The taskbar is also left up after you adjust the volume and if you're driving then you don't really want to fumble around for the start button.

Is it possible to get an autohide taskbar feature added??

So that the tick box, for setting each rotation in the exceptions, works as a toggle box. By default it's a blank white box for nothing selected, by clicking it once a tick appears to show that that rotation is enabled in the exception and by clicking it twice a circle or cross appears to show that the rotation is enabled along with the taskbar autohide when rotated in that way.

Woud be a nice touch as the taskbar thing is why I binned off Gyrator2 and started searching for another app.

Cheers

Stu.

Edit: I'm using a standard ROM, as it's on Vodafone I'm guessing it'll be the HTC ROM.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] SilentBob:
If you see my previous posts, it would appear that this problem isn't related to these rotation apps, as it also occurs when manually rotating the screen (by assigning orientation toggle to a hardware button).

I have an Orange handset. This wasn't a problem in ROM version 1.19, but started after updating to the 1.59 ROM. Can you confirm ROM version & operator version?

I have logged this as a fault with HTC, but as yet have received no further information from them. Hopefully they will release a hotfix.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Macflurry:
ROM Version 1.6.405.1 (43972) WWE

ROM Date 03/06/09

It's on Vodafone but don't now how to be ore specific on the operator version.

What I meant in my previous post was a workaround until the glitch is fixed.

e.g. In windows XP you can set your taskbar to autohide, just wondered if it'd be easy enough to implement a setting for for the exceptions that turns on a autohide feature so that when the bar pops up it'd hide itself again.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
Okay so I can get it to rotate and if the SIP was open before the rotation it can open up AFTER the rotation completes. This means that the SIP would disappear but then reappear AFTER the device rotates and "sets" itself.

After the device rotates it takes a second or two to adjust itself to the new orientation. The sip would not be redisplayed until after the device adjusts. Still something you would want?

Any other opinions?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] gribabosse:
Fine job. Works fine on my Htc Hd.

This app is veasyer then gyrator and others... Thanks a lot :):D
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
No problem man. Happy you like it! Any suggestions / comments let me know!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] MJRL:
Great app ;)

The best for me in this app its that we could choose only de programs we want to rotate, the others rotate for them selves like opera and youtube.

For me it's great i like to use TT in landscape an set it rotate, i also sometimes use IGO8 and my version only works in landscape mode, on the other app it craps my igo8 since i couldn't give an exception, no mather what ive tried.

Just one question i have another gps navigator a portuguese one ndrive that came with my HD, but i could't manage it to work in landscape, i could turn it to landscapae with your app, but ndrive freezes alot, this should be a ndrive problem or from your app? None of the other(Gyrator, Gsen) work with ndrive also.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
I really doubt its changeScreen. I remember the old versions of Tomtom couldn't take landscape either and would crash. I would assume its the same deal with ndrive...
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] kkchan:
Hi,

I am able to reproduce it as below steps:

Scenario1:

1. Open up any program, e,g. File Explorer.

2. Rotate it to left (Camera at left, keypad at right).

3. Press Power button once. Screen off.

4. Press Power button again. s2u2 lock screen, but is in landscape mode.

Scenario2:

1. Open up any program, e,g. File Explorer.

2. Rotate it to left (Camera at left, keypad at right).

3. Press call button, Call/Talk screen appear in portait mode.

4. Close the Call/Talk screen.

5. File Explorer would be in portrait mode instead of restore back to previous landscape mode.

Thank you
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
Can you send me your configuration file? I'd like to have a look so I can see exactly whats going on... its located in "\Windows\changeScreen.config"

Thanks
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] jeanfrederic:
OK, tested the beta on Dutty v1.5 ROM.

UI haven't seen those issues in the first page, but I doubt I'm the only one?§

It seems manilla is buggy in landscape mode: hours on left and white lines on right. Same for People, and all the tabs.

Tried to force Opera to open in landscape, then erased the line in the congig. Now Opera doesn't switch anymore (at all).

That s all for the moment

Thank you
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
Unfortunately it can't really control Opera because Opera rotates even without changeScreen... Your Opera9 exception should have NO boxes checked. You manila exception should have ONLY the portrait box checked. Let me know if that helps you...
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
Okay everything seems fine EXCEPT! you manila exception should have the portrait box checked!

If there are no boxes checked like you have on S2U2, it will rotate the same direction as the last app that was open before it. You manila currently will do that also. If you check the portrait box in manila, after you unlock s2u2 in landscape mode your manila will show in portrait. Let me know if that helps you...
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Popi21:
just install this app... and its seems to be working fine with my HD.... great application.... thanks guys....:D

No problem... let me know if anything comes up. Kepp an eye out for final version...
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] kkchan:
Hi,

Thank you for reply. What is the usage of checkbox in exception list?

I have tried to tick potrait mode for s2u2, and yes, it will not rotate to landscape.

Question,

1. Why don't manila, cprog be rotated to landscape by only add them to exception without need to tick checkbox for them?

2. I didn't add shell32 to exception list. But it always in portrait mode? Beside, I tried to remove cprog from exception list, it still always show in portrait mode.

3. I open file explorer, rotate to landscape and then open cprog. Since cprog is always show as portrait in my case, once I close cprog, my file explorer become portrait. It seem like any program that not in exception list will follow direction of last app was open. How to solve this?

Thank you
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
It sounds to me like your "Default" has NO boxes checked... If you don't want to rotate anything you should check the portrait box for your default... Your default refers to all the applications that are NOT in your exceptions list.

Basically if your Default has NO boxes checked, all apps NOT in your exceptions list will just use the last rotation of the device that was open before it. If you click the portrait box for your default, all applications NOT in your exceptions list will show portrait. If you have ALL boxes checked in your Default, all applications NOT in your exceptions list will rotate as your turn your device.

Hope that helps...
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] kkchan:
Hi,

I have all checkboxes ticked for "Default", as you can see it from my previous post.

<changeScreen>

<exception>Default</exception>

<portrait>true</portrait>

<reverse_landscape>true</reverse_landscape>

<reverse_portrait>true</reverse_portrait>

<landscape>true</landscape>

</changeScreen>

Yes, these applications that not in exception list would be rotated. Just that, I open it first (App_A), then follow any application that in exception list (App_B), close the App_B, then App_A will follow the App_B.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] jeanfrederic:
Hi 600GOL's Avatar

600GOL,

Actually, default is Portrait checked, and Opera9 isn't there anymore in Exceptions List, i've deleted the entry. But when i launch Opera and try to flip it, it does during 1/4 second, then flip back to portrait.

So I tried a soft reset, but it seems tour application do not reverb Opera to it's original way. From now, i'd like to find back Opera flipping as I want, not only Portrait, so should i keep your application running and check portait and landscape for Opera? Maybe will you find a fix for that?

Tcheers
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
No, you need to add an exception named "opera9" with NO boxes checked. Since you deleted it, changeScreen treats Opera as part of the Default group and therefore will attemt to always force it to portrait!

Having no boxes checked on Opera will allow Opera to change directions just like it would if changeScreen wasn't there.

Hope that helps...
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
Try using this as your configuration file. I suppose the easiest thing to do would be to just paste it over what you curretly have in the file.

Fantastic little app!

Tocuh HD users should add gwes to the exceptions list to stop the home screen rotating when locked. Something i wasnt able to do in gryrator.

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] mainsail:
Hi..

I´m using ChangeScreen long time ago and works ok. Now i have installed last test version 2.79 because i like to hear a carlock sound when i put my device face down. This test version has a problem with "show name of active apps" to take note and can add in exceptions but i install temporaly 2.78 version to do it every time i need add an app exception. Rest of functions seems work fine for me.

With the device is suspended on face down position i have a problem with PhonEx. If i put my device face down over some table, when enter an incoming call and PhonEx starts (screen on), Changescreen detects that device is on and automaticaly supend device because HD is face down. I lost the call..

Yeah, i can disable this option in Change screen to avoid this problem but it will be perfect enable any exception case for this option and action.

See you

Sorry for my vaggd english :D

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] WaltA:
I believe that is why 2.79 is still in "test", and not released for everyone to use yet.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] mainsail:
Yes, i know.. Gol sent me this beta to test it and i only post my experiences and ideas to get a possibe 2.79 fixed version...and 2.80, 2.81..

I don´t hear anything from Gol last days and i´ve thought that it would be a good idea post it here. It´s a good utility and i think that it´s a pitty forget it. Also, because i donated for it.. :D:D

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] kevinkoo:
Hi, I just encountered a problem, I'm using HTC Diamond2 WM6.5

When I added exceptions, if I added more than one, like both cprog and camera to stick their original orientation, then saved and exited. But next time, when I opened "changescreen" again, it can't load the interface, it just ran and ran, and it seems like crash down....
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] pokko:
facedown poweroff???

is there a possibilty to make changescreen at facedown to switch poweroff, not just screen off?

greez
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] WaltA:
Are you really sure you would want that?

It would not be able to tell the difference between you intentionally orienting the phone with the screen facing down, and the phone accidentally coming into that orientation while being carried around. Sorry, but I could foresee someone wondering why their phone is 'off', possibly for hours, and not realizing it was because they had leaned over for a moment while it was in their pocket or something.

I mention this because of my own experience in testing 2.79. I could be driving in my car with my phone in my coat pocket. A call comes in, which turns the display 'on', changeScreen notices that the phone is oriented face down in my pocket, plays the "car alarm" sound, and turns the screen right back 'off'. No harm since I am answering the call using Bluetooth. But it would be quite a problem if my phone instead, powered itself right 'off'.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] torture80:
hello. i have tried the application on htc hd and it works. thank you

i have one problem though! when i rotate it (on the programms tab, sms, music etc etc) the whole screen does rotate the screen but it rotates it on the left half of the screen and on the right side it shows a multicolour thing. i cant describe it any better. sorry but my english aint that good.

i attach a photo from google that is close to what my phone shows!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] WaltA:
Could it be that those apps don't support landscape mode? If so, then you need to put them in the exceptions list for changeScreen (ie, portrait only) so it will not attempt to rotate them again.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] ubcjack:
Hi,

Thanks for the great app. This is always one of the first app I install when I get a new phone.

Is there a way to adjust "when" screen rotates during a rotation? On my touch pro 2, it's very responsive if I want to rotate to landscape (I just have to rotate a little bit or tilt the phone and it will change to landscape right away). However, in order to get back to portrait, I would have to hold the phone almost straight up without tilting so it would rotate back to portrait from landscape.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] WaltA:
Did you ever calibrate the sensors?

Start... Settings... System tab... G-sensor... Calibrate.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] worwig:
Same here on my TP2. And no, it has nothing to do with calibration. If I tilt the device just a small amount (a lot less then 45 degrees) it switches to landscape. Then I have to hold it nearly perfectly vertical to get back to portrait. Very nice program, but the fact that it 'sticks' in landscape makes it waste too much time.

Too bad.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] radzi:
works OK on my diamond
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] WaltA:
That really doesn't answer the simple question of, did you ever calibrate it? I would not just assume that that your phone comes calibrated right out of the box.

If (for example) any phone's g-sensors are substantially out-of-calibration, such that a 5 deg tilt could be being read as 45 deg, would result in a 4 deg tilt being in portrait mode and just a 6 deg tilt being in landscape mode.

I am only suggesting this, because I had a similar problem, and calibration fixed it.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] scilor:
