For all of those who are now running SE thanks to dcs and others. Just download this little app, unzip it, run setup when connected via activesync and then add it to your start menu. Works like a charm and saves having to hard map a button to rotate your screen we are already limited to buttons as it is. I just put it at the top of my start menu and can use from any application of course. Thank you guys for all of your hard work.
not bad at all. but what i did was use phm plus; it gives you the short cut icons to the items in the settings folder (like bt, clock, input, etc). in this case i copied the "screen" shortcut and had it appear in the today screen using tdlaunch. just click on the icon and the option for landscape or portrait comes up.
cheers
thanks .. that was a very nice utility ..
Cool, another way is to assign it a hardware button, very easy t flip on the fly.

Hi ZeroXtreme!
If you'll to assign the RotateSE to a hardware button its slower than the default Rotate Screen because of the rotating circle.
I think creating a shotcut on the Today screen launcher program is still a better choice and it can also relieves one of the hardware buttons for other use.
Thnx
Works as intended...
thats weird :? ...
does'nt WM2003SE has a <Rotate Screen> at "Assign a program:" list in Buttons section ?! :?:
in my i-mate JAM i can rotate the screen between 'Portrait' and 'Landscape(right-handed)' by pressing "Record" button
i wonder if xda2 wm2003se has it or not, coz mine gone junk while i'm upgrading to chines rom SE
later 8)
@NightmarE
Yes, it does have the hardware button assignment, the problem is that most of us have already used all the hardware buttons for other tasks, so a Start menu option is a nice solution...
I agree I have upgraded to the blue angel but having it in the start menu is much better than hardmapping it to a button, I posted the app for those who want a different option, if you want to waste a button on just rotation then be my guest but some of like myself don't use screen rotation that often then it is better in the start menu and not on a button that I need, considering I use alot of apps like Microsoft Voice Command.
It os better to have it in the Start Menu than in a Today Screen, if you are in the middle of a app it is easier to just open the Start Menu and rotate than go through settings->screen or close then today then back to the app...
I'm using SPB Pocket Plus and add "rotate screen to the right" to close/minimize dialog ... That's just how I do it. Free Up start menu slot for my other frequently used apps.
Right now I'm quite a happy XDA2 user
use PHM utility to add a shortcut of RotatSE in Task bar near by bluetooth icon it will be like i-mate Jam icon 8) ...
laters :lol:
I assinged one hardware button to flip the screenand made the flipting system easily and fast...
Works great on the Treo 700wx. Thanks!
Hi, is ROM version 1.66.00WWE a wm2003SE?
Just tried the software a while ago but it didn't work.
Is there a version of this working on wm2003? just found out that my phone is not wm2003SE version but a wm2003, software not compatible with wm2003. :c
Works ok, but...
Hi.
It works fine, but how I configure it to rotate to the other side (clockwise) ??
Thanks in advance,
Joe
hello,
Ive just upgraded my phone to the WM6 "Fantastic Mobiz v2.0b3". and realised that the house icon "home zone" of o2 germany is not showing even when clicking on the network icon (which was ok in WM5). is there any solution so far? or at least does it work with other WM6 ROMs?
u can install batteryStatus with BSHome, then u can see a house icon directly on your todey screen when in your home zone area.
u can find it here
Done, vielen Dank
Hey all
I have here my Ameo upgradet to WM6 Dopod U1000 ROM and unlocked but I can't get the Subdiplay to show. I tried putting the keyboard all the sides toward the screen but nothing changes. Does the WM6 at all support the subdiplay function or is the problem only in my device?

I am using the WM6 upgrade found here (not the Dopod one) and have no problems with the Subdisplay on my X7500 maybe it's related to the Dopod Upgrade?????

Bringing it out by putting magnet around front camera. It works for me.
I am using the only one WM6 update available here and tried all the positions of the keyboard but nothing changes. Through the transperent part of the keyboard I see the two soft buttons Contacts and Calendar. Does the Subdiplay just activates when the keyboard is put on the screen or schould be started otherway?
Now I noticed that whatever application is started when I put the keyboard on the screen it just returns to Today but it doesn't appear any sub or status display. So I think it recognizes that the keyboard is brought on but its something wrong with starting the subdisplay. Could it be just disabled or its not available on T-mobile Ameo? Any suggestions?

Goto HKLM\Software\HTC\SubDisplay. It should show "Open=0x1 (1)".
Also goto HKLM\Software\HTC\SecondaryDsp. You can do some tweaking there. I've been able to change and apply the TopMargin by setting it to 60.
Wow. Thanks mate. I changed it to 60 and now it shows up. I can swith between the clock, operator and a Home adn Visiting clock. What is this Visiting clock and how can I change it?

Just goto to Settings>System>Clock&Alarms>Time.
does anyone know how to change the color of the text on the right and side of the subdisplay. thanks
Is there a registry setting to force the subdisplay to 'on'?
If I even nudge my keyboard the subdisplay turns off, quite annoying!
Funny thing, I changed the
HKLM\Software\HTC\SubDisplay. It should show "Open=0x1 (1)
value to '0' and that puts on the display without the keyboard attached.
But when you attach the keyboard, the subdisplay 'may' go away, and then it just doesn't come back.
There has to be a registry value that would turn off the magnetic keyboard sensing switch to force the subdisplay into one mode or the other. Anyone have a guess to where that registry is?

To change the text color just goto HKLM\Software\HTC\SecondaryDsp\TextColor. What I don't know is the color code list (FFFFFF certainly stands for white).

I've searched that registry without any success.
I attach a small & thin magnet inside my case as a replacement for the keyboard.
Since I couldn't find it anywhere else I just made it myself
My Hermes allows me to rotate the screen using a hardware button assignment or using the HTC Home plugin. Using a 'touchflo'-like application -with no hardware button to spare- it was annoying going back to my today-screen to rotate the screen.
It turned out the Compact Framework 2.0 has this nice class which would do the trick: Microsoft.WindowsCE.Forms.SystemSettings.ScreenOrientation
So I "wrote" exactly 10 lines of code (including class/function def) to rotate my screen.
Anyone interested: download and install the cab.
+ Does not remain in memory: rotates the screen and exits
+ Now you can create a shortcut to rotate the screen
+ tested on a Hermes (TyTN)
- Requires Compact Framework 2.0 (should be default for Windows Mobile 6.0)
- CF is a huge overhead when only needed for this program, but I'm to lazy to go for the API call (ChangeDisplaySettingsEx)
- No settings: rotates 90 degrees counter clockwise (or 90 degrees clockwise with the Rotate Screen CW cab) -on my TyTN it matches the screen setting when the keyboard slides out-
- Icon is but-ugly
- Not tested on other hardware, but I expect the worst thing that could happen is a frozen device which will work nicely after a soft-reset. My expectation is based on the fact it's a CF 'call' and not an API call, therefore it does not write to memory locations directly.
Use 'as is'.
I might be tempted to add 'settings' if people actually would use the program and have requests...
When installed on other devices: a message would be appreciated (even if is doesn't work)
no one yet
I would use this. But except for wiring it to a hardbutton, can you make it (maybe as a setting) to have it go into landscape mode when opening New SMS and then back to portrait when SMS is sent?
I also posted this in another thread but maybe this one is more appropriate.
Thanks
It does work on the Mogul/PPC-6800. Rotates the screen 270° Why wouldn't you just create a mortscript file to do this the only line that you would need is
Code:
Rotate(270)

rotating
i don't know if this can be done or not, but if touchflo can have a rotate recognition (similar to HTC album where u can rotate a picture) and use this to rotate the screen in the direction u want to what do u think... is this smtg one should ask efrost?

No. But you can have a script that rotates 270° or 90°(landscape) and then opens the SMS app and when it closes the SMS app it rotates back to 0°(portrait). It would read something like this. But im not sure that you can assign it only to the creation of a new message
Code:
Rotate(270)
Runwait( "type the path of your SMS application here" )
Rotate(0)

Mortscript is a great tool, but it requires some scripting-knowledge to get it working. A small app is easier to install for most people.
But I agree mortscript is the better option if you want a "rotate-start app-rotate back" sequence
This small app is just because of my frustration Microsoft didn't give me a "rotates screen"-shortcut.
Thank you.. Still works great..
works like a charm on my htc prophet with winmo 6.5
thanks a lot!
Any way to decrease the length of time it takes to depress the button?
blackstone with leo rom
works great on wm6.5 on a polaris.
work perfectly on my charmer and this really solve my problem ! thank you .... well done
this is a very nice piece of s/w, i find it very helpful to me. thank you, lextendo, for yr contribution.
Works with SGH-i200 (WM6.1)

Tanks you for this app!
It works with my SGH-i200 (WM6.1)!
The "i320 rotation app" is faster than your "Rotate screen" application but needs more clicks to get back to normal...
So I will use your "Rotate screen CW.cab"!

I have been looking to do the same thing for some time now. i found that it's a registry value so my thinking is that it must be possible to create a script or app that can change this value but i have yet to find one.
the reg key and values are:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\ROTATION]
Change the Value of "Angle" to the
dword:00000000 or dword:00000360 -> Portrait Mode
dword:00000090 -> Landscape(Right-Handed)
dword:00000180 -> Portrait Up-side Down
dword:00000270 -> Landscape (Left-Handed)

If you have installed MortScript you only need one line to rotate!
