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,

ok fixed the problem, after 2 hourse of searching i found this here:

I installed the Keyboard.cab file and now touch Keyboard works again....
i know chefs has been working hard with fixes for the camera button. made this for roms that still have the cam button problem.
hope this will help...
edit 1... january 1st
included an uninstallable cab..... word suggestion will not pop up
ps... tested on clean 3.03c installed with xakep turbo cam
Hi bevoc, nice of you to post the fix. Have you tested it?
The cab file is not uninstallable, but I made one for you that is uninstallable.
yes, tested on arto's sense betas 4.0 and kubino's ultra clean (i installed ezinput 2.1 without arrows on this one) actually it is just a fake registry callup to prevent ezinput from hooking the camera button.....
the one i posted above will make some word suggestion pop up. i will make one which is uninstallable cab where the word suggestions will not pop up... will post it later.
happy new yeAr everybody at s200 subforum... may the new year brings more success to all of us at anything we do...
Happy New Year, Cheers
Thanks bevoc so I can't no fix my device after install you cab file. My S 200 still hang . So sad.
I return to Original ROM for stability used.
I've lost xt9 function in EzInput after this fix, can somebody give me camfix without this issue? (or some fix for fix) I really need xt9 and this keyboard.

you can set suggested text as well as spell correction via registry. i made this cab with xt9 disabled by default.
Can u tell me full path of this key? I could not find it.
i remade the cab
in this cab i left the et9 mode on. please tell me if it works. theoretically it sould.
No t9 anyway...
The same picture..((
(After cab I get only t9 from default keyboard)
okay thanks for the info, will try to use a different dll callup, but i guess if we use the htc ime dll the camera button will be hooked as soon as the os boots.....
Try please, man..
found something that maybe suitable. testing. will update you later
update....
no luck... the htc dlls are hooking the button. trying to hunt down what is actually hooking the button... i guess some dll need to be hexedited but im no gold there....
eem .. What is the relation between the camera button and T9?
I'm not pro in this, but camera (and its button functions) works fine after fix, but t9 stops working.
going to try this now

this is what i know so far (please correct me if i am wrong)
1. htc's t9 dll is hooking some keys for devices with physical keys
2. coincidentally, one of the keys is the camera key for acer...(have a different function on an htc device)
3. the hook basically renders the autofocus and shutter button useless (because its hooked on to another function that is not available on acer devices)
4. my fix is basically a registry edit which triggers ms version of t9/autocomplete
in order to fix this properly, the dll for htc t9 has to hexedited to remove the mentioned hook on the shutter/autofocus
*acer s200 camera button has actually 2 phase
1. autofocus (half press)
2. shutter (full press)
the hook only assign one function to the button which i dont really know what.
a workaround for this problem is to use aebutton plus. reassign the key. in camera mode af and shutter will work out fine
i created this fix because i dont use t9 and i dont want to use an extra process.
i suck at hexediting but i'll see what i can do.
On WM6.5 and WM6.5.x you have the option of using the new sliding lock screen. I for one prefer to use the old 'Windows Classic' lock screen (i.e. the one where you have to tap the soft key then an unlock button like in WM6.1, see images), as it uses less memory and allows me to see the today screen. However, on many ROMs for HTC phones, even stock ROMs, it doesn't seem to work properly with regards to incoming calls.
When you receive an incoming call, the lock screen pops up asking you to tap unlock, but it is unresponsive and obscures the caller ID screen, meaning you can't see who's calling you or the accept / reject slider. On phones / ROMs were it does work properly, you sometimes still have to press the unlock button manually before you can do anything.
This had annoyed me for ages and I couldn't find a solution, so since I am learning C++ at uni, I decided to try and teach myself Win32 programming and create a a program to fix it. The result was this little utility, my first windows mobile app
The program basically just sits and waits for an incoming call, and when the system notifies it of one, if the device is locked it waits for the unlock screen to pop up and then very quickly presses the '*' key. The result is that the device unlocks before the screen messes up, allowing you to see the dialler! The app is very lightweight (executable is only ~6KB), fast (native code), and does not use the CPU whilst idle since it makes use of the windows messaging notification system. Should theoretically work on any resolution on any device, but I've only tested it on my Touch Pro2 (WVGA).
I originally made this just for myself, but XDA Developers has been so useful to me over the years I thought it would be nice to share it with you guys For this reason it is provided as is, I may or may not add to it. I'll try and fix any bugs and stuff if they arise, but I'd like to keep it a simple, lightweight app.
[size=+1]VERSION HISTORY:[/size]
1.0 - Initial Release
1.1 - Multilingual support. If v1.0 works for you, you don't have to upgrade but you can if you like.
Fixed the bug that causes program to crash if not using an English ROM.
Removed message box that tells you you're using the sliding lock. Program now just exits silently.
CAB file now changes the registry key to disable the sliding lock screen for you.
[size=+1]INSTALLATION:[/size]
I've attached the EXE in a zip file, simply unzip, place it on your device somewhere and run it to activate the program. Run it again to exit the program. You might like to place a shortcut in \Windows\Startup. The program will not run if you have the WM6.5 sliding lock enabled, you need to have set:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\LockScreen] "Enable"= dword:00000000 (obviously).
I've also made a cab file which just simply places the EXE in \Program Files\DeviceLockXT, and creates a startup shortcut and the reg key for you, if you prefer
If you already have DeviceLockXT installed and are installing a newer version, you probably need to stop the old one from running first, and you should probably uninstall the old CAB before installing the new one. I don't know what difference it will make if any.
Enjoy!
DISCLAIMER: In the unlikely event that this program damages your device / causes you to lose data / kills your cat / whatever, I am not responsible. Use at your own risk.
Feel free to include it in a custom ROM if you like!
This looks interesting. Like you, I also do not like the latest lock screen (I've been searching forever for a better one). Does yours support PIN lock? And if you wouldn't mind, I think it'd be cool to see a screenshot (or just a google image), I'm not sure if I remember the classic lock screen you are referring to...
Certainly! Images added & first post updated
The reason I like it is that it isn't a lock screen as such, more of a lock softkey. This allows you to see through to the lovely HTC flip clock when the phone is locked / you turn it on to see the time. You only see the rather ugly looking grey screen when you want to unlock the device.
The program will run if you have PIN lock enabled, but there is no need to use the program in this case, it will literally sit there doing nothing. If you are using the PIN lock then the dialler screen works fine, at least on my phone anyway
To use the Windows Classic Lock Screen with a PIN just set:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\LockScreen]
"Enable"=dword:00000000
Then enable a PIN in Settings > Lock and you're good to go! No need to install my program You can also set:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\LockScreen]
"ShowLockScreenPicker"=dword:00000001
To get an extra tab in Settings > Lock which lets you change lock screen without editing the registry.
EDIT: There is not supposed to be a space between the c and r in LockScreen in the reg keys, don't know why the forum does that.
I'm also a fan of the "Windows Classic Lock Screen", and have encountered the same problem that you describe!
So thanks a lot for this great tool, I'm trying it ASAP.
i see your point of locking and seeing at the same time your home screen right there and then and i think i'm liking it. i'll give it a try. any chance to change the "ugly" gray unlock screen to something else? a simple black one would be good for me, or better still to a customized background.
edit: btw, does this work on stock wm 6.5? it says 6.5+ in your post.
Yup, I meant 6.5+ as in 6.5 and above (including both 6.5 and 6.5.x)
Not that I know of, the grey screen is part of the windows mobile locking program itself so I don't think it can be easily changed. On some ROMs I have tried the grey screen is skipped entirely, unlocking straight away when you press the softkey, but this is tied to something at the ROM level I think. So it's possible, but I don't have the time or ability to figure it out
Another way to do it would be to write your own locking program from the ground up that mimics the standard windows classic one, then you could do what you like, which interestingly is what I tried initially. But it was much harder than I thought! Defeats the point of utilising what is already on your phone though, which is what I like to to (minimal 3rd party software).
I repeat my program is NOT a stand alone lockscreen, but a utility to hopefully make the built in one work properly. In my opinion the windows classic lock is fine as it is, apart from the issue my program aims to fix
Great job!
This little app works very well and it does what it promises.
The grey screen is something that I've seached how to change for quite some time, but haven't found nothing. It would be very cool if we could edit it!
This is just awesome...thanks so much for sharing...
What about cooking this program into ROM? Is it fine to do so?
Yeah sure, it says so at the very end of the first post (under 'Disclaimer')
Uch, sorry, I never read disclaimers or other important notes.
Keep up great work. I'll include this software into my ROMs if I don't find anything annoying
thank you very much.this problem is annoying me for a long time,i'll have a try.is this work well,i'll get a reply.wish it work well and jack use it in his roms~
It's work very well in my phone,thank you very much~good job~
Been using this for a day or so now...no complains...works as intended. Thank you!
i find a problem with the app.when i use the app,the screenlight is turn on and turn off,it's change all the time.when i use the swith button to turn off the screen light,the screen light will turn on soon.and if i close the app ,the screen light became well.what's the wrong?can you help me ?
I'm not sure what would be causing that behaviour, what device are you using? What version of windows mobile / ROM are you using? Do you have any other screen lock type apps installed?
It is nice
but unfortunately it works only for WM6.1
i hope i can find one for WM6.5

Hi Guyz,
I was playing around with the BsB Tweaks and after that I have set an unlock code on the phone. The unlock screen is completely different now and after inputting the unlock code nothing is happening. I am 100% im putting the correct one as i said it out loud with my bf next to me and it was just few seconds after I set it.
Not sure what to do now as I dont really want hard reset.. I have memories in that phone for the past2 years and I DO NOT want to loose everything.
Any ideas how I can get rid of the code.
Also if I click on menu it gives me the option to reset password but it is not click-able. Just the same way the UNLOCK is not click-able after putting in the correct code.
Can someone help me with that?
What 6.5.x ROM are you on !
What did you play around with in BSB Tweaks ?
Did you set this lock via standard WM lock ?
How many digits in your Password ?
Do you use CHT slider lockscreen rather than default ?

ENErgY ROM
I am not sure which ones, I believe there was something about the unlock screen display
Standard WM lock
6
CHT slider. Yes I believe that was it also in the BsB Tweaks or CHT Layout screen. I cant really remember.
Is there a way to sort this out without hard reset?
I just remembered that when I was setting the unlock code I didnt select how many minutes. It stayed on 0 minutes. I used it like that before as well and it was okay.. I tried removing the battery, the sim card and so on but nothing helps..
Please anyone who has a similiar issues can u help ?
Thanks

Found this
About the CHT lockscreen:
Currently, the CHT lock screen does not support any PIN code or password protected unlocking.
Remove any unlock codes before turning on the CHT lockscreen or you will be permanently locked out of your device and you'll have to do a hard reset.
If you are using a gsensor app to automatically rotate the screen and you have it to always rotate, you should add the class "CHTLockscreen" to the exception list.
If you don't have the rotation app set rotate everything, but only a list of desired programs, then you don't have anything to worry about.
If you need to lock the CHT lockscreen externally, you can do it with this: "\Windows\CHT_Helper.exe -lock"
I am just wondering before i do the hard reset if there is anything out there that is able to fix this issue with the CHT lock screen..
Thank
As far as I know no...
I think you change lock screen layout from HTC to Windows default or CHT lock screen hence style layout change but the reason for not unlocking is probably due to CHT lockscreen if you have indeed activated this, does warn you when seting CHT lockscreen not to proceed if using WM PIN lock & not to use with WM PIN lock.
Think a hard reset is going to be only way out but hang on for a while & do some research & thinking on what exactly you adjusted.
Lesson to learn here is Backups, so easy to backup with likes of SPB Backup & makes issues like this not a big problem.
I learnt the hard way too, hopefully some of your personal data will be on SD.
Good luck ...
Have you tried connecting to pc via usb/active sync just in case it accepts PIN in that scenario ! worth trying everything before a HR ...
