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

Hi.
It works fine, but how I configure it to rotate to the other side (clockwise) ??
Thanks in advance,

The small info panel in home screen, triggered by the magnetic connection between keyboard and case could be useful. It shows some info's to read with creen closed. Could be opened without the magnetic connection to have it on without the keyboard and using case with a transparent hole?
Someone knows the name of the application (or the .exe file)?
I am still looking, I've found some other looking for solution here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=322566
and here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=323545
I just post the links, there are some valuable informations about .DLL's name and registry settings; may be someone could find a solution to start it manually and /or use it for some other purposes.
I think is an interesting technology but the magnetic sensor isn't reliable enought
From DOPOD user manual...
1.5 The Subdisplay
The Subdisplay lets you view notifications, music info, weather, temperature
and time on a designated area on the LCD screen when the keyboard is
attached to the LCD screen of the main unit. The Subdisplay is automatically
activated when the keyboard is pressed against the LCD screen.
Note:
Weather, world time and temperature information are only available if the
WorldMate® software is installed
May be none is interested..
....but I found a first way to use the transparent windows.
Vjtoggletodayalpha (even in alpha stage) is a great application to remove from start menu the start applet and/or the buttons applet.
So I removed the bottom bar (button applet) and now I can use the space at the bottom of the today screen to put some info's. SPB weather fits exactly to be seen trought the transparent window.
Using wisbar advance should be possible to define, at the bottom of the screen, the winfo window to be used as personal subdisplay when the keyboard is closed.
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?

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

App Rotate screen v1.1
Is there any app or way to change the soft keys for each touchflo 3d tab? Like under the people tab thare is the "all people" on the left and the "menu" on the right. I would like to change the all people from going to contacts to going to pocketcm. Is there any way of going about this? Changing some other soft keys would be nice as well.
Use SoftKey manager
Thanks, already tried that one, only lets you change the right and left soft keys on the home tflo3d tab. I want to change the soft keys on any of the other tflo3d tabs like people, or messages, and programs. Any one else with any ideas?
Did you mean TAB-s?

No they used the word "each" before the word tab so they phrased the question correctly. "each tabs" or "each tab?"
But yeah, I am looking for the same thing. I will post it here if I find it. If not... Off to the reg we go!
It has to be doable because people mod the reply button all the time. If you can mod that then you shoudl be able to mod anything, right? Possibly a hex editor for exe files? I hope so bad its not hard coded but you never know.....
soft buttons on tf3d home
I'm also looking for something like this. With touchflo3d turn off, the home screen left soft button will be "calendar" by default, but when you have a reminder/notification, it switches to "notification" "reminder", etc.
when touchflo3d is enabled on the home screen, this button becomes controled by tf3d, and while you can customize the button, it no longer becomes context sensitive - I find we have to hit the icons at the top bar (live msg, reminder, etc). these little icons are a bit hard to hit. ANyone know if the tf3d homepage soft button can become a 'notification' popup activation button?
dwight.
I think that the stock rom actually has this...so I know that it's possible. That also bothers me.

Does this let me set one of my softkeys on my home screen to "notification"
Just a quick update
I switched to a new rom last night from 'aruppenthal', 'RRE HTC Fuze ROM Ver 4.5 Special Edition" (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=467592), and it seems that this has a different behavior from my previous rom "PROven_ROM_WWE".
in any case, my tf3d home page now has "calender" and "contacts" as the lower soft buttons, and my reminders are coming up and seem to be changing the lowerleft softkey to "dismiss". I've yet to see "notification", but i'll keep an eye on it for a few days and let you guys know about the behavior.
one thing I left enabled this time, was the "system status" window when you hit the topbar icons - this has a shortcut to a mail icon when there's a notification for that, and when hitting it, it shows the respective notification popup at the lower part of the window. That might be a 'workaround' for those who preferred the old notifications but want to keep tf3d.
dwight.

Edit Registry below, you can modify first page of TF3D Soft Key.
\HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila change value of each key (LSK for Left Soft Key, RSK for Right Soft Key)
HomeLSKArguments - Arguement of application you'll be calling
HomeLSKPath - Path to program with in "" i.e. "\Program Files\WebIS\PocketInformant\PocketInformant.exe"

This doesn't solve this question - this solution is already mentioned. Please read the previous posts before posting.
Any solutions to this questions yet? Been searching both the forum and google without any luck....
Well, the solution is actually SSMaHo! Just do a search for it. Works like a charm and lets you remap pretty much anything
I also have same issue with X1.
Att the Settings Tab, I really want to change left soft-ket to launch the System Setting but default is CommManager.
I already searched the forum and google with no luck. So I tried to looking into source code and just found something.
It is correct or not, however "settings.mode9" file have embedded LUA codes and these codes contains some soft-key assignment codes.
BTW, codes have not only one assignment code, it contains several assignments and TF3D can apply each soft-key by situation(or any registry? macro? configuration?) I think.
ok, so i want to remap the default today screen contacts softkey to bring up the touchflo 3d 2 contacts but cant find how to link to it. any takers?

this totally solves the problem in manila, touchflo3d 3.0
none of the other solution worked for me
you need manila editing
Hi guys, i was pm Captain_Throwback about this and here his answer.
You can only remap the soft keys in the Manila Home tab. Changing the others requires Manila editing, and may not even be possible. Here are the registry keys for the Manila Home tab soft keys:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila]
"HomeLSKText"=""
"HomeLSKPath"=""
"HomeLSKArguments"=""
"HomeRSKText"=""
"HomeRSKPath"=""
"HomeRSKArguments"=""
Only the "Text" and "Path" keys need to be used - the "Arguments" key can be left blank.

I made an application on VB.net that can assign Home Softkeys to any program in Start Menu, also you can assign it to any other touchflo's tab...
This application is tested on Raphael device with Touchflo 3D 2.0
thanks....
cool.... this worked very easily.... I don't want to install another Cab file just to change the button name.....
thanks again.

Hi can anyone help me with this.
I have a T mobile HTC HD2 US. I could not turn MN7 into landscape to use.
I did some registry tweaks but didn't work. I also tried to edit NaviPanel and tried to launch MN7 in landscape mode but i failed to do so eventhouigh the display did change but it didn't rotate so it cut off half of my creen.
anyone can help me with this.
thanks so much
I know how to switch it but I have to modify it. Give me a pm....
Get the app Auto-Rotate, somewhere here on the forums
i use Navstarter for this purpose.
you have to put it in your navigon directory and run it instead of the normal exe. there you can choose in which alignment you want to start it. if you choose 90 or 270° it rotates the screen, launches mn7, and after you close it, it rotates the screen back to normal mode.
