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.
RE
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
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?

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.
I read from Magic Button's official website that they have a new version 2.1 that resolves the task bar color problem. However, when I followed the link to download.com, it is 2.0 that get downloaded, and this version mess up my task bar.
Google on "Magic Button 2.1" does not yield any result.
Has anyone got version 2.1 or is able to post a link?
Thanks.
Edit: Found the link. It is on the official webpage itself! The download.com's copy has not been updated.
Hmm... it's a shame that even version 2.1 mess up the color. My black task bar color is no longer black. It's today icon is also in the wrong position, covering half of my network signal (in 128dpi. Did'nt try the other dpi yet)
What a pity. It has been my favourite task manager for a long long time, and was given up when I moved to WM6. I was so excited when I saw the version update history, and thinking that 2.1 would work without problem in WM6. Looks like we have to wait for version 2.2 and see if it works.
Fortunately, pBar is working. It does not show the running tasks on the taskbar, but that's the next best thing now.
Thanks for the tip. The taskbar colors are much improved, but not perfect.

Thanks for the solution regarding Today icon position. Came across your post before, but didnt remember it untill you mentioned it. Thanks
But the color is outright the wrong color at the moment. It is the default blue whereas my task bar is black. Is there a way to fix the color? I really like the glossy black task bar, and unless MB can blend in, I would stick with pBar.
Sorry, I'm using the default blue theme, so MB looked pretty good to me.
Do a search on using UITweaker to fix the MB colors... not sure how it will work with the new version though.
With further investigationk, I found out that magic button is not actually showing only in blue color. It is able to use any WM6 color. The reason it does not blend in to my black task bar was because my black taskbar was "painted over" by Tweak2k2 rather than part of a black theme.
I tried it with other colors besides blue, and found out that it can blend in with any color.
Now the logical thing for me to do is to come up with a glossy black taskbar WITHOUT using Tweak2k2.
Can someone give me some pointers on how I can change my taskbar to glossy black ?
BTW, Steve, your tips on changing the Today icon position works beautifully. Thanks for that.
Still lots of bugs?
Magic button 2.1 seems to be quite buggy.
The position of the today icon just randomly moves about. It even moves all the way to the right, completely wipe off my clock and date, network signal, and other icons. When it is not doing that, the position of the today icon does not seem to stay at the same position. I notice that the registry value changes by itself as this happens.
Any idea what causes this and if there is a cure?

I use this program as well and it's also my favorite. I'm considering putting it into 3.0 of AP when released.
Yes it's a little buggy and I've noticed that the fix for color blending isn't working very well, nor is the placement of the house icon. I've e-mailed the developer to see if they can resolve this. If they fix both issues it would be a perfect addition to the ROM as it would replace xbutton and batti (buggy batti btw and I've disabled it for now with a tremendous improvement).
Thanks for noticing the registry value changes on it's own. Maybe we can lock down that value some way so this doesn't happen but it may cause an issue. Not sure if there is a way to lock down registry values or protect them in WM6 but it's worth a look into.

There is some slight movement of the Today icon upon closing all active tasks, but not enough to cause problems for me.
I suspect when the Today icon moved all the way to the right (covering all your taskbar info) you may have inadvertently changed the registry setting by selecting Magic Button 'Settings.' If you go into Settings, it will overwrite the hack, and if you don't select "Show clock and 4 icons" it defaults to 0, moving the Today icon all the way to the right upon exiting Settings. I think if you do the hack last, after getting all your other options set, the hack will hold... at least it seems to for me.
I think the flaw is too serious
Icon position
==========
I tried the registry edit, and found out that in 128dpi, the smallest value for the position (as described in Steve's post) is 06. That would place the today icon immediately to the left of the phone signal icons, and would cover up any mail message and vueflo icon. If you make it 08 so as to enable the vueflo and mail message icons to be visible, then when you move to 192 dpi portrait mode, the today icon would be completely off to the left of the screen (i.e. does not appear on the device at all).
This means that with value of 08, magic button is completely non-functional in 192 dpi.
Even with value of 06 (which still covers some icons in 128 dpi), at 192dpi it is no longer possible to close an application. This is because we need to press and hold the running icons on the task bar in order to close it. At 192 dpi, the runnng icon is no longer visible on the taskbar, thus you can longer press and hold in order to close it. Even if there is only one application running, as long as you are not on today screen, the running icon would not appear on the taskbar. If you're on today screen, because the today icon shifts unexpectedly to the right by one position, then it is possible to close the running application if you have only one application running. However, if you have more than one running, then even on today screen, you could not close any application. The only way around this is to switch to the landscape mode so that running icons have room on the taskbar to appear.
Color
====
The color blends better in 96 and 192dpi. In 128, the look is bad. Unfortunately, most of the time I'm using 128dpi.
I think pBar is still the one.
But seriously, I do not say that pBar is perfect. In fact there are a few problems, as listed below:
1) the date and time color is not right. My solultion: don't use it.
2) the favourites items could not be rearranged. The move button does not work. My solution: not a big deal. I don't need to move them.
The only regret is that it does not put up the running icons on the task bar, therefore, switching/closing program is a two click process instead of one click. Similarly, going back to the today screen is a two click process instead of magic button's one click.
Its advantages are also plenty:
1) it is very space efficient.
2) it solves the problem of comm manager in realVGA display.
3) it allows up to favourites program to be quick launched.
4) it really has no problem in realVGA environment. Magic button does not handle realVGA very well, in terms of icon positioning.
Anyone had success at completely removing the bottom tray on an 8525 running the new WM6? Not just removing the battery & wireless icons, because if you install other programs that don't let you remove the icon, than the tray still appears again, unfortunately.
The Wizard fix of deletely the int_tray (something like that) from the startup folder doesn't work, as there is no file like that.
Use regedit to find HKLM\Init and the entry is launch92. Just remove it.

Do This:
Removing today screen tray
\HKLM\init\Launch92: Delete
Just checked on my Vario II (TyTn) and I have no Lauch92 to delete either. I have Launch70 (connmgr.exe) and then it jumps to Launch98 (TimeWizard.exe).
Can you confirm what is in the Data field for the reg key you are referring to? I have 2 columns: Name (which has the Launch## bit) and then Data which appears to refer to the actual exe that is run. Perhaps on the TyTn the Name is differnt to that on the Herald (your linked post)?

No idea for remove bottom icon tray?
Anyone with a Hermes have success at this?
does anyone know of a way to change the default height of today plugins such as SPB Time or GPS Today? A registry edit or something. i hate having a scrollbar on the side of my today screen and i have maybe a 16th of an inch i need to scroll down. id love to get rid of that bar and keep my setup. thanks guys

Most should have an option somewhere to change the height. I'm pretty sure both SPB Diary and SPB Pocket Plus that I use have height options. I don't think there's a registry setting for other plug ins that don't have the option though.
There are a couple tools outs that remove the bottom bar that displays what the buttons do. Removing that gains you a little extra space.
