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
hello, my friend recently purchased the tilt, so naturally I had to commandeer (typo) it. his today screen has a nice button in the top right corner (where the 'x' button is normally located) to access a small menu full of the apps that are running. and the normal list of options are there: end, endall and whatnot.
I was simply wondering if someone is in possession of this plugin.
also, though not AS desired. the tilt apperently is able to have text messaging displayed on his today screen.
You mean HTC X-button? Search for it and be happy
pBar is much more powerfull and better than HTC X-button. Don't know the exact homepage of pbar but you can download it from here. (free registration required)
Regards,
Carty..
Also check out Wktask. One of my favorites.
I use the HTC X-Button..They all seem to work about the same.

Yes, the tilt uses X-button, as does the touch and all future planned HTC buttons. You can find it all over this forum as well as others.
As many users here have already mentioned, there are actually many better options (X-button only shows you that info on the home screen, whereas wktask or my personal favorite- Qmenu, lets u view all your running programs whenever you want. These alternatives also generally use less resources).
As far as the SMS on the today screen... I don't get it, doesn't your titan do this? Whenver I get an SMS, the notification menu pops up on the bottom of the today screen (or any screen really) and shows me all 160 characters of the text message.
QuickMenu_en_2.7
works well for me
I downloaded A touchflo .cab and installed but nothing happened.
When i would try to launch it(from programs/touchflo) it would say that it was alrighty running
Any ideas
ok so touchflo is working in the sence of scrolling. But i dont see the main screen that displays big clock, and start menu.
maybe im mistaken on what that is. can someone help
Never played with touchflo, but for the big clock I think what you want is HTC home.
thanks thats main screen right
same thing happens to mine it says running but nothing happens how do i make it work?
try swiping your thumb from bottom to top on the touchscreen..
i just tried that but still nothing
Guys...
Touchflo is just the software to make the touchscreen touch-sensitive to scrolling like the HTC Touch. It is NOT HTC Home today plugin, HTC Cube, or any other software you may think it is. Therefore nothing will happen unless you're actually using software that allows you to scroll...i.e. PIE or a text editor or what have you.
For the clock and today screen plugin you want to get HTC Home.
For the cube you want either HTC Cube or Vistacube (there are others, but those are the main two)
If you install one of the cubes, it comes with Touchflo...so you can uninstall the Touchflo you've already installed and just install one of the cubes.
Thanks that helps me alot.
One more question.
Are those cubes complicated so set up ?
-
this seems to be a great idea! I copied it to my memory card and couldn't run it cause I don't have .net 3.5.
I'm not interested in installing it cause it would take to much memory for other installs(waiting for a cooked 3.5 rom).
Try making a 2.0 compatible version of technic.exe first.
But this one is a good software to look up to. I use s2u2 as my locker and I miss configurable gestures to unlock.
Organic lock is going to be great! no doubt about it!
looking forward for:
1 - 2.0 compatible technic.exe
2 - full gesture control(i'm guessing this version allows only the click of the "checkpoint" and not the gesture)
3 - locking sequence not explicit(as for only owner knows it.. if not done yet)
Thumbs up to your work!
philocritus,
I didn't quite understand the 3rd point. Could you explain?
Made Technic compatible with .NET CF 2.0. Check new archive.
I can't seem to put in a gesture on my Kaiser. It doesn't detect any strokes of mine unless I make them very quick and very hard and even then, the strokes aren't the ones that I made, they seem pretty arbitrary.
I have to use the "Blind" option....lol

You have to tap the moving "lava" parts when you tap the black area your hit is not registered. So you basically have to tap the lava as it passes your pre-determined point.
I mean when I'm trying to define my gesture.
Excellent!
A new idea...wow!
Tested it out, and it works as it should....though I do have a few suggestions:
1)Instead of the 'lava' theme, try a easier theme....like dragging around a block in a grid would be an easier metaphor...like those picture puzzles!
2)kinda resource-hogging...slim down maybe?
Overall, a 5/5

Thanks Rev! I'll check it out and send you the results
as for the 3rd point I'm talking about having a static image as background and only the user knows where to touch to unlock. any other guy can't unlock it that way(kinda like a organic password)
Nice work.
But here, with lock enabled, phone doesn't ring.
Bye
This didn't work with my touch when I ran organic-panic. I opened that .exe, and my screen froze. I turned off the phone and turned it back on. I finally saw the lava screen and the little pockethal logo on the bottom right but the screen was still frozen. Is this running in DirectDraw? Last time this kind of thing happened is S2U2 v.93 or something and I think it was due to DD.
Interesting new idea. Subscribing to keep an eye on the progress.
ok rev here are the results on my trinity:
organic and organic-panic both run and respond only to the cancel button. couldn't unlock it...
when the display went off it never came back on...
maybe a .net 2.0 problem? or am I getting something wrong?
my perception is that there is no response to touch screen...
See these threads:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=375294&highlight=gesture
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=362231&highlight=gesture
Others who put some thought and effort into something like this. I think it would be great. I added my ideas in those threads. I still wish it could be a "Gesture 2 Action" module, that could be integrated with S2U2 at some point cuz S2U2 has pretty much all the "locking and unlocking" functions down. It is evolved enough to handle almost all the use cases with notifications, locking buttons, and what not. All we'd be adding is a different "trigger" to initiate the unlock. I'm not saying its easy, but its gotta be easier than trying to redevelop all the code to do all the other functions, when all this is really adding is the gesture part.
Again, MHO.
New version.
0.8 (latest):
- Using GAPI instead of closed PocketHAL libs (so you need gx.dll)
- Removed both locker screens
- Added another unlocker screen (Checkers)
- Works with standard screen locker (and possibly any other, that properly sets lock flag in registry). This needs to be checked with other lockers' authors (in future version).
- Number of points can now be from 5 to 10.
- Installable .cab instead of .zip
See first post for .cab
If you can combine the functionality of S2U2 (notifications, time, now playing, etc)... this would be one of the top 5 best apps for WM6 available, period.
Yes, It does work on my prophet
I ,however, don't how to use even I read the instruction
May you record a live teaching video?
it's locking me all the way..
Very interesting idea that I want to see succeed. Subscribing to monitor progress/development.
WB
New version - 0.8.0.2:
- Slightly different Checkers unlocker
- Accuracy (difficulty) increased
- Device is now automatically locked after soft-reset
It works well on my prophet! However, I dislike it locking instantly on a soft reset, although this is just my preference...
Ok, Everybody heres a finished (to my comfort) dialer that as far as i can see works properly.
I'll say its working at 99.999 percent and as with all the other canvases, landscape is not perfect.
its primarily for manila 2.5 but can work with 2.1, its 2G so no video calling but does have conference and works preaty smooth.
just quit cprog (and phcanvga.exe if you have it), install and then soft reset.
Cab pyrorob_gullum_Phone_Canvas_Enhancement_2G_4_2_V2.cab
Package: pyrorob_gullum_Phone_Canvas_Enhancement_2G_4_2_V2.rar
for those with the energy rom, heres a theme to match: pyrorob PhoneCanvas 4.2 EnergyRom Theme.cab install after the main install, soft reset.
So, i do want to thank everyone here and those who donate there time with this. I really appreciate this and am thankful for everyones help.
short statement:
we are a community of people helping each other to better our devices and only a tiny fraction of all the users contribute.
its great when it happens and no one should expect accolades or payment for there creativity.
(dont get me started on people who will only release things on this site until they get paid, i think it stifles the advancement of the community as a whole).
Now, i do want to specifically thank amarullz, whose phcanvga.exe im using, which without it, would have seriously hampered this and gullum who has been absolutely helpful and all the testers.
Phone Canvases in testing:
pyrorob Phone_Canvas_Enhancement_2G_3_0_1916_3532_2_ERom_Theme.cab
manila 2.1 compatible,no curtain, energyrom theme and confrence calling

Hi Pyrorob, Im sure many people here are like me and read your posts, use your fixes, but dont know how to mod dialers and whatnot, so cant really offer help or suggestions with the things you are asking. It doesnt mean your efforst aren't appreciated though!
Regarding your dialer, it would be helpful if you posted a screenshot so we know what we're getting. And also some confirmations that we can uninstall the cab and it will restore our previous dialer without any issues etc. It probably also pays to mention not to use SKTools as you said in the EnergyROM thread it can totally delete the phone canvas and you wont be able to get back the one prior to install
Out of interest just how DO you do something like this anyway? Im a computer programmer but dont know anything about working on the phones. Like what language is the dialer written in? Do you have access to the code and can make changes that way, or are you just trying to resize images and hex edit things inside resource files or exe/dlls etc (eg x and y offsets)?
Thanks pyrorob, I'll give it a whirl, and I'll be sure and post if I have any thoughts.
Okay, so I can't get it to install. Says "Installation was unsuccessful. The program or settign cannot be installed because it does not have sufficient system permissions." I used dotfred's taskmanager to kill cprog, and put the phone into airplane mode. Any ideas?

yes, i understand that, the only thing is, i didn't just open a thread and waited, i sent out a bunch of pm's to different people that i know knew the specifics of what to do and how to do it right and no one even had the decency to even reply. its like people think of this as some sort of competition..
yeah if you just follow the same steps to uninstall as you did to install then youll be fine. basically the dll's for the canvas have a bunch of positioning resources and thru lots of trial and error i managed to get things to where they are now.
I checked out your canvas on my Touch Pro.
The only think I noticed (except of the back button on the top right corner you mentioned) is that the left soft button "All People" does not work for me.
When I press it it changes from "All People" to "Contacts" and Manila crashes in the Background.
Any hints?
I have the same sig as above and dialer is working great! Only few bugs i see are what was mentioned already, especially with the all people left sofkey. Another is when you place a call the top taskbar is gone, small rezizing issue exactly the same as with rhodium dialer. If u hit keypad the taskbar comes back then tap call status to go back and the taskbar stays. Maybe get it to stay from the get go when you first make a call? All the features seem to work and landscape seems smoother then rhodium with it. Sorry cant help you with the technical side but always a happy beta tester. Just work out the few kinks, give it a makeover, good to go!!!

P.S.
One more thing. If you're in landscape already say writint a text message, then press the call button to bring up the dialer, the screen goes into portrait mode with the dialer while it should be in landscape. Then you have to close the hardware keyboard, reopen, now dialer is in landscape.
Bluetooth Volume???
Can anyone test this dialer with their bluetooth device? I dont have one handy right now. Just to make a call, try to adjust the volume up/down using the 2 hardkeys on the side of the phone to see if it works? I know on the rhodium dialer it doesnt change the actual volume on the headset, just shows on the volume volume is changing but does nothing. Hope its not the case with this dialer or can be fixed if it is? Thanks

ok first one, the all people soft key, im testing the dialer on a phone with manila 2.5 and when you hit that key it goes into the manila contacts, the dialer originally is from a manila 2.5 leo rom so it might only work 100% with a manila 2.5 rom..
the top taksbar has to do with the repositioning by the phcanvga if it doent move up the incall screen and cut off the top then the buttons at the bottom will be cut. sometimes the phcanvga doesn't reposition properly at first so you can do a few things like switch to landscape and back, goto contacts and back or close and reopen it and it will reposition itself.
yeah and it going back to portrait? well as far as i know there isnt a whole lot of landscape support with the leo since it doesn't have a hard keyboard so i guess thats the way htc programed this?..
second one, try putting in this reg key:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Volume]
"EnableAdjustHSVolume"=dword:00000001
see if that works
Apart from the 'back' key issue noted, no problems on my current ROM build. Have installed, unistalled and reinstalled without issue following Pyrorob's instructions. Conference calling working well (my mates like being part of the beta test!). Great job and Thanks!

Oh i see, didnt know it was from a 2.5 version. That makes sense then. You think you can make a version to work with 2.1 manila though? I have no idea how hard that would be, just talking about getting the left softkey going for 2.1 manila. Ill have my jawbone 3 later today. Ill try it out of the box first to see if it works with the volume hardkeys on the phone, if that doesnt work then ill plug in the reg edit you provided. Still, this is the fastest port for a very nice vga dialer for our phones, WOW! Cant believe it took them forever to port tachi dialer and took u a few days and this one is wayyyyy better then tachi! Great work and would happily donate to you or wherever you would like me too for this and all your great work pyrorob, thank you!!!
Umm
Well out of the box the headset volume cannot be changed by the device with this dialer. I looked in the registry using the regular reg edit app thats cooked into nrg's rom and also tried using the one that came with sktools (which is more friendly i think!), neither have that entry.
I go to current user, control panel, volume, only entries here are all one worded, nothing like what you described and nothing with a standard setting of 0000001 or anything like that. Ill get a screen shot for u if that helps but looking in the reg i cant find it. Do i need to "add" the reg entry u described since its not there? If i do, how do i add it? Never done that before.
So far the only bug that I have found appart from the already mention ones, is a sliding bar on the right corner of the dialer when I open it up. The only way that i have found to make it disapear its by fliping the phone so the dialer goes to landscape and fliping it back to portrait and no more silder bar, and by closing the dialer with the end button instead of the x. Appart from that is working really great, so far no connecting delays ussing slide 2 answer. I'll be using it a couple of days more to test it out to see if anything else pops up. Hell, i like it so much i'll keep it until a new flash or a update from you pyrorob.
I think the only thing that needs its the energy theme.
Geat job man!
This dialer is like a God send to us, its soo good! Tested out the slide to answer/ignore and works flawless, no lag or sticking like rhodium! This is like an upgraded rhodium dialer for US users who dont have video call, its great. Love how theres no annoying bluetooth icon on the taskbar either when bluetooth is enabled with this dialer, huge plus for me! Hate having useless icons on the taskbar. Duh i know bluetooth is on cus i turned it on, why do i need an icon up there to remind me? If u can just make some finishing touches, skin the hell out of it to match energy rom, Golden, seriously golden here!!!

What sliding bar is this? Are you talking about the top right corner wheres theres a grey box with a black arrow distorted pointing left? Thats the back button which would be nice if it can be skinned good or resized (looks fine in landscape as well as everything else, just not so much when receiving a call but no biggie!). Other then that, i have no idea what you're talking about? Can u provide a screen shot maybe?

No man, i know the back button, it's not that. It a sliding up/down bar, the one that appears whe you flip it to landscape. It appears when i close the dialer pressing the x button and open it up again with the send button and if i flip it to landscape when flip back to portrait the bar stays, have to flip it back to make it go away. Sory can't post screen shots I'm at work, plus don't know how to take a screen shot from the phone.
