[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] afterburn:
This may be a totally stupid question, but I can't find it in the Wiki or anywhere else.

What happens when I download the rom package from HTC and run their updater? Will this brick my phone, or will it work as normal but just lock SPL again?

My Raph is HardSPL'd, security unlocked and running custom rom and radio. I am getting a bit tired with all the instabilities, bugs and problems with custom roms and want to go back to htc stock for a while. The latest version which I want to use is not available on here as rom only, so I can only use the .exe package from HTC.

Thanks.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] madnish30:
You can go to stock HTC without touching the security lock or the SPL ( unless you want to give back for warranty ).

You can get the latest Stock HTC ROM from HTC support website ( for your country ) its free.

It will change your radio as well.

It will not brick your phone.

If you plan to flash a custom ROM in future you should not touch the SPL and Unlock.

If you don't want to Flash Stocks any more read the tutorial in my signature by MSkip.

Follow the steps and you won't brick your phone.

You should have searched a little MORE before starting a new thread.

has anyone experienced this...?

autorotation works in some apps like: music and phototab, messaging, opera....

but like the start menu NOT! and also apps like Resco file explorer...

is this possible? to make rotation work in all apps???
[HD2 General] Xaddict:
Apps rotation

Good point

It should be.

There is a white list that lists which apps auto rotate.

Never used it, but I might need to for this one.
[HD2 General] bartveld:
You might want to look at Gyrator.
[HD2 General] Kridek:
You "just" have to add application entries in the registry. Their was a tool that do it for olders phones (Diamond2, etc.). G-Config was its name. The problem is the app using the "stylet entered" event.... That, obviously, cannot be used by our HD2... Maybe the author may change things to work with HD2
[HD2 General] kurniawan77:
alright... i thought i have read it somewhere about the whitelist... but i just can't find it.

One of u knows the .exe for startmenu? to start with...
[HD2 General] Yunabeco:
The sensor whitelist exists on registry keys HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\HTCSENSOR\GSensor\WhiteList for Window classes or HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\HTCSENSOR\GSensor\ModuleName for program names.

For instance, sensor can be enabled in the Start Menu (default/honeycomb one) and S2U2 with the following:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\HTCSENSOR\GSensor\WhiteList]
"Start"="MSSTARTMENU"
"S2U2"="S2U2"

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\HTCSENSOR\GSensor\ModuleName]
"S2U2"="\Program Files\S2U2\s2u2.exe"

Hopefully, Gyrator will work without stylus one day.
[HD2 General] bartveld:
Gyrator works on HD2 as long as you know the Windows Class Names of apps. Some are given on the website of Gyrator.
[HD2 General] Archer:
He was referring to the fact that you used to be able to "teach" Gyrator a new class/window name by running the app in question and removing the stylus. This prompted Gyrator to get said info from the topmost application. Was a very nice feature. I don't know if there's any spy type applications for windows mobile, but you need one if you don't know this info.
[HD2 General] Yunabeco:
Yes, that particular function was what I was referring to. As for finding out window class names, I'm using Dotfred's Task Manager, which has a tab showing window class names, although it involves looking in a long list instead of just pressing a button while in the window.

EDIT: Correcting my mistake quickly: Tap-holding a process name, tapping Details and choosing the Windows tab shows the windows opened by that particular process. Why I didn't find that out before is beyond me.
[HD2 General] kurniawan77:
alright... tried a few things but no go

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\HTCSENSOR\GSensor\WhiteList]

Name: Start

String: MSSTARTMENU (Didn't find MSSTARTMENU in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai either.....

and tried

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\HTCSENSOR\GSensor\ModuleName]

Name: RescoExplorer

String: \Program Files\Resco Explorer\Explorer.exe

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\HTCSENSOR\GSensor\WhiteList]

Name: RescoExplorer

String: RescoExplorer

But still no go!!
[HD2 General] firstandlast:
I don't know if this is me just being stupid or just the program.

I have the navipanel activated on my HD2 and can access copilot etc in landscape.

however when I select the dial feature the phone app comes up but it is still in portrait mode.

I installed Gyrator and the phone app does now rotate whenever I turn the phone to landscape or portrait.

But when I call the phone app up while the phone is in landscape it still opens it in portrait.

What I would like to know is is there any way of calling the phone app up and for it to immediately appear in landscape format?

Would using the rotatescreen.exe file be more useful for me?

I hope that makes sense and appreciate any advice you may have.

Paul.
[HD2 General] lude219:
excellent! Thanks that works. Btw, what would be teh modulename and whitelist name for the messaging (SMS/MMS)? I'm assuming for the modulename is TMAIL? What about for whitelist name? THanks again :)
[HD2 General] Karlos G:
Works for me too! :D

Shame there is no nice rotating animation like in photo veiwer but at least it works!

Cheers!
[HD2 General] Yes!:
I'm using Zensor2 for auto rotating. Works well for me.
[HD2 General] les_paulde:
this app is amazing, thanks for the tip!!! :D

only thing I'm still wondering is how to disable the auto-rotation for the WM6.5 lock screen. I've been googling to find out the window class name but have been unable to find it, and I cant run dotfred task manager once the device is locked- anybody else that might know how to prevent the lock screen from rotating??

thanks a lot in advance!
[HD2 General] firstandlast:
I upgraded to the HD2 this week from a Tytn 2 and use my phone in my car usually for the sat nav and have the phone set sideways in the holder to give me widescreen.

However, whenever I needed to use the phone on the HD2 the dialer screen would always appear in portrait and so I have had to learn to dial with my head tilted to the side!!!

After posting about my problems with getting the phone app to rotate I did a bit of detective work and think I have fixedd it.

I added the following registry key to whitelist in the GSensor bit of the registry.

Name

Data

Phone \Windows\cprog.exe

After a restart voila, the phone dialer will now open up in landscape.

I hope this is helpful to others who want to use the phone in landscape.

Paul:)
[HD2 General] NZtechfreak:
How well does zensor2 work here, and does it autostart with the phone? It is possible to set up exceptions in zensor2?
[HD2 General] madbird:
hi, nice to see that im not the only one expirience problems with it. i switch back to use 'changescreen' app to turn the screen. i used it bevore on athena and it has some real nice options.

its working well on hd2 so i keep it.

regards mad
[HD2 General] Karlos G:
Thanks! It's helped me!! :D
[HD2 General] LeeMC79:
I have done this, and it works great... except for when opening the phone app whilst in the Navi Panel.

When the Navi Panel is in Portrait, and you access the phone, it starts in Portrait, but allows you to rotate to landscape. However, when you use Navi Panel in landscape, and access the phone, the phone screen opens in Portrait and does not rotate! I'm sure there is a logical reason, but i'm afraid i'm not that clever... :confused:
[HD2 General] kurniawan77:
The greatest app ever!!!

BsB Tweaks

includes adding apps to rotate and pinch zoom just by shaking your device!!!!
[HD2 General] pietrucci:
Doesn't work for me. I put in \windows\cprog.exe, cprog.exe and "\windows\cprog.exe", none of them work.
[HD2 General] madbird:
for excluding the lockscreen you have to put the 'gwes' program to the exceptionlist. i got the name from changescreen it has a function to schow the name of the actual displaeyd window.
[HD2 General] astralmistral:
Madbird,

This is what I have been looking for but my googling skills didnt bring any usable info so far ...could you please post you Applications.ini and events.ini files of gyrator? I would also like to lear about the changescreen utility?

Thanks.
[HD2 General] pietrucci:
Anyone an idea how to get this work???
[HD2 General] madbird:
hi, as i said bevore, i dont use gyrator so im sorry that i cant present you any .ini files. i use changescreen wich is similar to gyrator so no need to use 2 times the same programm. you can find changescreen here in the forumsearch.

today i discovered a new (and for me even better) method, BsB Tweaks . it gives you an very easy to use interface to a lot of functions, it support to add applications to the build in pinchzoom and rotation functions of the hd2. so no need anymore for external programms like gyrator and changescreen.

mad.
[HD2 General] kurniawan77:
like i said before... BsB tweaks... the best u can get!
[HD2 General] johnkst:
I've been looking for some time for a suitable thread to ask this question...

I haven't found the answers I am looking for anywhere else on the HD2/Leo boards, so hopefully nobody objects if I ask my question here...

Can someone clarify for me why the version of HTC Sense on the HD2 (version 2.5?) includes two tabs (Picture Viewer and Music Player) which switch seamlessly from portrait to landscape and back 'out of the box', but no others?

I'm not talking about forcing a rotation with some 3rd party app or BsBTweaks or the like. It would appear to me that rotation works perfectly in just these two tabs and in none of the others!

I mean, what were they thinking at HTC? "Lets just do a really good job of making these two tabs work perfectly in both portrait and landscape and then release the thing without doing the rest"!

Presumably this was the same on whatever phone was previously released with Sense 2.5 and presumably the same questions were asked back then. If so, can anyone summarise for me what result was arrived at? Is this really how HTC released it? Or am I missing something somewhere?

I really would appreciate it if someone, who's been around Sense 2.5 for a while, would take 5 minutes to clear up this mystery for me...

Thanks.
[HD2 General] copenhagen:
REALLY????!? Sorry but honestly.

go ask htc.... they are best suited to answer your ... really really REALLY (*see above) question.
[HD2 General] Rutster:
Hi kurniawan77,

Thanks for the heads up. :D:D

Works a treat. Just what i was after. Makes viewing some apps easy.
[HD2 General] Z80-Man:
The point is, OK, BsB Tweak does a great job, but when I'm flashing a new ROM I want to get back my settings without having to fiddle with BsB Tweak again, so whatever it does, I really need to KNOW what it changes in the registry, so I'm able to save those changes and put them in a CAB.

That's what I did, and it took me some time...

But about the white list, a lot of names are yat to be found, because you can install so much programs...

But I'm beginning to own quite a nice list, now. ;)

The hardest was finally to find a rotating ROM ! :D It's done now with NRGZ's 29007. :cool:

Now I'm not forced to install ChangeScreen anymore and am happy with it, as while it's still a great app, allowing to rotate all 4 sides, etc., it still weights up the system (and the less background tasks you run, the better WM behaves), has some drawbacks such as sometimes overlapping full screen apps with the taskbar, and more annoying, is sometimes hard to control : you often rotate when you don't want to, then it's slow as hell to get back to the position you wanted ! :D

So, yes, a self rotating ROM using HTCSensor is still preferable if you can use one, and having your white list handy in a .reg or .cab form is still the fastest way to get it back. ;)

has anyone try it?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ycrdml:
maybe this will work, but try at you own risk...

copy the eng spl update.zip to sdcard,

go into original rom recovery mode (press home+power 2 time), you will have the option to run update.zip

if hboot update success, congratulation... and share with us!

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Higgins12:
This won't work as far i was reading :-) , you need a newer SPL than the current installed. If I'm informed right at the moment there is no way to get rid of the perfected SPL which came with the official Sense upgrades.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ycrdml:
gain rw without modify spl

above is confirmed won't work, try this to gain rw...

1) adb push recovery_mod.img /data/local/tmp

2) adb push recovery_ori.img /data/local/tmp

3) adb shell

4) cd /system/bin

5) flash_image recovery /data/local/tmp/recovery_mod.img

yeah i also think so. but where to change the version no?

Sometimes i wonder whether ROM dev asked HTC to put so-called perfect SPL.

So that stupid and curious people like us happily flashed the update and stuck here. :D

So that we cannot disturb the devs who made customised ROM :D since we cannot flash any other ROM.(except new RUU update for other countries)

just kidding.

hope somebody can help us.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] s1977:
Hi

I traced my Hero logs yesterday and I could see a 'D/SocialNetworkReceiver' call being made every 5 minutes. Does anyone know what this is for? Is it for services for facebook, twitter and the likes? I was wondering if I could switch it off, if at all. I get around 2-3 days worth of battery life on the phone and wanted to check if this influences it in a postive way. I dont use these services for now and therefore was looking at options around switching them off. I have changed the social network polling times to once a day but this one still runs every 5 minutes. :(

Any help would be useful.

[XPERIA X1 General] marijn26:
On this website (ducth) is stated that there is no update to WM 6.5 coming anymore for the X1. :-(

See here http://nl.babelfish.yahoo.com/trans...ows-mobile-65.html&lp=nl_en&btnTrUrl=Vertalen for translation into english

Sad situation isn't it?

But hopefully the great chefs here at XDA will cook some wonderful ROM's out of the X2
[XPERIA X1 General] ipporek:
There are already plenty of custom ROMs out there based on WM6.5. Don't see why we still the X2's ROM if you're just looking at WM6.5.
[XPERIA X1 General] matejdro:
Not really, stock rom usualy sucks so custom are better.

And that is like 100th thread about there will be no update.
[XPERIA X1 General] Sfkn2:
We already have a ROM from the X2. Look in the ROM section.
[XPERIA X1 General] sonus:
Stock ROMs tend to have less new features, but have less bugs and are more stable. Especially as things progress it is best to have a 6.5 stock rom for drivers instead of using the drivers from another device. So yes, it is sad that Sony stopped supporting the X1.

Hi folks

The HD2 has got an improved RDP cilent (finally...)!

Could the cooks implement this version in the TP2 ROM?

Or has anyone got a cab that can be installed on the TP2 as well?

Thank you for some feedback on this!
[HD2 General] pcprono:
Hi! I just checked out HD2's Remote Desktop client and it works perfectly on my Win7 box. Actually, it's the best mobile remote desktop client I've ever used!

There is only one minor flaw; is there no landscape mode, or am I just not seeing the option?
[HD2 General] Archer:
Give Gyrator a try. You can set which apps to allow auto-rotate or not.

http://gyrator.brins0.net/
[HD2 General] pcprono:
Thanks for the tip. Although I Google'd a little and read that it doesn't work very well with the HD2.

Shouldn't this be as simple as a small registry tweak? I'm sure there is a value somewhere in the registry that makes Remote Desktop Mobile start in landscape mode. :)
[HD2 General] shirreer:
I'm not certain why you are "sure there is a value somewhere in the registry that makes Remote Desktop [...]" because I know there IS NO such reg-value to make your app start in one orientation or another :p.

However, there is a registry entry to make it respond to orientation changes as perceived by the G-Sensor, then you can simply turn your device to sideways to switch your program between portrait/landscape/etc...

The easiest way is to use G-Config. The full manual procedure is to make new entries for your program as follows:

1. Navigate to reg key: "HKCU\Software\HTC\HTCSENSOR\GSensor\Module"

2. Create a new string reg-value with name of program, and its path for the value.

3. Navigate to reg key: "HKCU\Software\HTC\HTCSENSOR\GSensor\WhiteList"

4. Create a new string reg-value with the name of program, and its class name for the value.

5. RESET your device (turn off then on).

Hope this helps,

Cheers...
[HD2 General] Archer:
How do you use G-Config with a HD2? I thought it needed a stylus to recognize new applications.
[HD2 General] pcprono:
Awesome, I will try it tonight. Thanks a lot! :)
[HD2 General] shirreer:
My dear friend, there are SO many apps that do automatic orientation: the most versatile, easiest, and customizable is Change Screen. Get it off of the diamond/raphael forums. Otherwise look for:

Zensor2 (easier), Gsens(lighest), or gyrator (heaviest).

Cheers
[HD2 General] vinokirk:
What is its class name? I see its a different value for each program. When I want to add a new app, is there anyway I can find out for myself what its class name is?
[HD2 General] polystirenman:
Hi

download app "Change Screen 2.78".

once you install it set default rottation as portrait.it is important cos you don't want any other apps to rottate.(if you do want others,just set the exeptions)

Then go to exeptions and and create new with name "wpctsc" and set it only for landscape.now every time you start Remote Desktop it will be opened only in landscape mode.i use this app since i had my old Touch Pro and now i am using it on LEO and it always 100% worked for me.tried more of them but this one is far the best.

adding some pictures for you to help with settings.

hope that this will help you a bit.
[HD2 General] Yunabeco:
Well, if anybody still needs it...

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\HTCSENSOR\GSensor\ModuleName]
"Remote Desktop Mobile"="\\Windows\\wpctsc.exe"

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\HTCSENSOR\GSensor\WhiteList]
"Remote Desktop Mobile"="TSSHELLWND"
[HD2 General] vinokirk:
how do i find out class names for other programs?
[HD2 General] Yunabeco:
Until we get another solution like Gyrator's neat stylus-out/stylus-in, you can check on the net or use a task manager. I personally use Dotfred's task manager, which shows window classes opened by a program (Applications tab/long tap on applications/Details button/Windows tab).

Now you need to find the right one (Usually the one with the window title, but not necessarily), and type it away.

Real quick example attached.
[HD2 General] pcprono:
