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)

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
dword:00000270 -> Landscape (Left-Handed)

App Rotate screen v1.1
[UPDATE: See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=7141176 in this thread for an updated version of the program, with links to new screen shots and documentation]
[UPDATE: See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=795753 for the Windows Phone 7 version of this program.]
I've written a program for reading eBooks on Windows Mobile devices. It can read txt, html and (DRM-free) ePub files.
For other formats you can use Calibre to convert them epub.
The program is called 'Freda' - short for 'free reader', since it is free software (both in the sense of 'free beer', as I am not charging for it, and in the sense of 'free speech', as I am licensing my code under the GPL).
It's released now, so please download it and let me have any feeback. (BTW that link points to the WinMo version of Freda; for the Windows Phone 7 version, please go here)
The program uses three third-party libraries, DotNetZipLib, OpenNetCF and the Majestic-12 HTMLParser library; all are licensed on terms permitting their redistribution for commercial and non-commercial purposes. More information is here
Happy reading!
Hi Folks,
It's here: version 1.1 of Freda is now released.
Main new features:
CSS Style sheets are recognised
Controls/gestures can be customised
Line spacing, indent and justification can be customised
Bookmarks and annotations are provided
Dictionary look-up is implemented (using SlovoEd)
See the freda home page for more details, and for download locations.
Any problems or questions, please let me know.
Discussion for this release can be followed from this post on.
Thanks,
Jim
Briljant,
Its the first epub reader that i found on my diamond that is able to render my epub newspaper correctly. Including links and images.
(the standaard is doing a test this week only with an epub version of its newspaper)
A few remarks to help you with the beta version (witch already is a keeper for me)
I had to install freda into main memory for it to start up.
The splash screen seems to to big, the text on it is cut off left and right, i have a vga screen.
The liberary display setting (icons or details) are not saved.
Thanks for the feedback - I'm working on those items now. [fixed in release 1.0]
Thanks,
Jim
Thanks for this program.
I'm a long time reader on PDAs and there was the need for something new.
I've just installed it now and I'll come back with some comments asap.
Looking forward to your feedback. Over at mobileread, I've been getting some feedback that CSS formatting is an important feature, so I'm particularly keen to hear the forum's view on that (because the beta 0.9 version of the program doesn't handle CSS formatting at all).
Cheers,
Jim
this is a really nice app!
I'd like to see an autoscroll in full screen mode if possible, this makes late night reading sessions a bit easier (less chance of being moaned at because of tapping buttons)
I'm not certain how easy it would be to control speed of scrolling on something like my touch HD with virtually no buttons though..
it's replaced mobipocket for me.
Autoscroll speed
Yes I had wondered about implementing autoscroll, but wasn't sure what would be a good mechanism for controlling the speed. I was thinking it would be kind of cool to control it using the acceleromter (gravity sensor) - something like 'tilt more to scoll faster' ... but I've not really throught it through. Ideas welcome.

one option would be to use the volume buttons to speed up and down, but it may not work in the 6.5.x builds as the MS volume control seems to takeover.
accelerometer is an option, but it could be frustrating when you move the device accidentally, unless you set up a control key such as long press talk/send, to enable the gsensor speed control only when the control key is called.

free apps
Yep. And also it means that it's less of an issue when the customers complain and ask for their money back .
error on my Opal (QVGA).
my 2 cents after one day.
Reader is good, fast and has a good pagination system.
It's really confortable to swipe up the thumb to change page, nice idea. Sometimes i was mad using mobipoket because when you tap, it may happen that you highlight the text instead of changing page. (i don't use hardware buttons expecially during night)
I'm gonna use this reader from now on I think.
Possible improvements from my point of view:
1) i'd like to have an option that allows auto opening of the last read ebook when opening Freda. Why opening the library every time?
2) It would be good to have a couple of presets regarding the color scheme. Usually I use white backgroung and black text during day and black background and grey/red text during night readings.
3) add the possibility to change page by tapping the screen. So, hardware button, or swipe thumb or tap.
Other less important improvements:
4) i usually read in portrait....but maybe add the possibility to read in landscape would be appreciated.
5) it would be nice to add the possibility to change also backlight power in the point 2) presets. IE: during night time low backlight, black background and gray text.
Finally let me add that the improvements I pointed out should help to make the program better (from my point of view) but Freda is really good already as it is, so don't consider them as a critic.
And congrats for the nice work.

Did you get this error after installing the application onto the Storage Card? Because right now (Beta 0.9 version) that doesn't work. The application has to be in main memory. For version 1.0 I will fix that. [fixed in release 1.0]
If you got the error even though the app was installed in main memory, then it's a problem that I haven't seen before. Normally that error message means that one of the program's DLLs or resource files is missing - and I thought that they were all present and correct in the install package. If you could PM me (or email on jim(at)turnip.demon.co.uk) with a listing/screenshot of all the contents of the \Program Files\Freda folder, I will take a look and see if I can spot the problem.
Thanks for the feedback.

Right now, I need to reserve the 'tap screen' gesture for bringing up the main menu. I guess I could have a mode whereby it's tap-and-hold to bring up the menu, and quick-tap to page forward. I'm a little concerned though that if I have too many different 'command modes' I will end up with something like uBookReader which (though otherwise a fine piece of software) drives me crazy with trying to figure out which mode it is in. Another option would be to reserve tap-near-bottom-of-screen to mean 'page down' and tap-near-top-of-screen to mean scroll up. What do you think?

This should work already - if you can get the device into landscape mode, Freda will work in landscape mode. Freda relies on the operating system to tell it whether to work in landscape or portrait. On my HTC Touch Pro 2 I can switch modes by flipping the keyboard. For devices without a keyboard, you should try the G-Config application - run G-Config and follow the instructions (i.e. switch to Freda and then insert the stylus, then soft reset). Now, when you hold the device in landscape orientation, Freda should switch to landscape mode. You can find G-Config at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=487991

Well.....I think that both options are good.....so you should choose the easiest to implement.
I think I would slightly prefer the second one: tap the bottom for one page increase, tap the upper part for one page decrease.

SpoonTorch - Fullscreen torch application
Introduction
Does your phone or PDA not have an external light on it? Do you want to use your phone's screen as a light?
This app lets you quickly create a white screen to use as a torch.
Features
* Single tap of the screen to make the whole screen turn white. Tap again for the menu. (v1.17 closes the app)
* Switching to fullscreen, backscreen brightness is set to maximum. Old settings are restored when fullscreen is exited.
* Minimise to program menu. So you can quickly switch between this and Windows Mobile itself, without closing the app.
* Lightweight application. Fast loading: no graphical effects or sounds.
Version History
v1.0 13/11/09 - Initial release
v1.1 14/11/09 - Backlight booster for fullscreen
v1.11 15/11/09 - Backlight maximum taken from registry
- Backlight timeout disabled in fullscreen
- (this setup file was incorrectly named v1.2)
v1.12 15/11/09 - Disable power save in fullscreen
v1.13 15/11/09 - When another application takes over fullscreen, brightness is reduced to normal
- Enter key toggles fullscreen (in-app hot-key)
v1.14 15/11/09 - Read the registry to make sure values already exist
v1.15 16/11/09 - Set torch to always use white and not theme background colour
- Save low-res torch icon without alpha channel to save space
- Added icon to main screen
v1.16 19/11/09 - Automatically starts in fullscreen
v1.17 06/12/09 - Tap screen closes app - no toggling
note:I update little and often. dont be surprised if I update a lot, then go quiet!
Requirements
* Needs .NET Compact Framework 3.5+.
* Should work on all Windows Mobile 5 and above devices.
* Non-touchscreen compatible (Windows Mobile Standard).

Thanks for bringing that to my attention, I did some googling and searching on here, but I didn't try hard enough
The only feature that app supports, is different colour screens - which I'll add to the next version.
My app supports tapping the screen to go fullscreen (providing even more light than Flashlight), as well as quick minimising (so it runs in the background when you dont need it). I'll add these details to the first post.
Thanks
thanks for this app, it's possible to set backlight to max power when launched and restored to previous setting when minimized ?
+1 for this. if You'll manage to make it change the brightness to the max in full screen and then to restore it back to what it was in the menu, then for me this app is a winner. I personally don't really care bout different colors, but proper bright white light is something great.
keep up the good work!
thanks
Thanks bronx and calcop.
Yes, I noticed the same thing when at the cinema today using this app.
I will try and get powersaving screen brightness to be turned on/off.
Edit: found it! It's a really easy regkey tweak... new version coming soon.

i have searched a program who can do it but i never find it
Version 1.1 is uploaded. Now sets brightness to maximum in fullscreen mode. Reverts back on exit.
Could You make it mappable to hotkey so with single button You could get the white fullscreen? Or is it already?
now it is just great, works exactly as it should. thanks again.

Actually Flashlight IS a fullscreen app. It also does Morse code (very useful) and various flashing different patterns (fairly useless).
But, there is definitely no harm in having two of the same type of apps. Especially one that is being actively worked on. I might request that you make the ability to have a customizable scrolling message or one that shows up when you wave the phone back and forth.
Looks awesome. Thank you.
unfortunately on my blackstone(WM6.1) the backlight level doesn't change
Thanks for the usefull app
Thanks for the feedback guys.
I'll see if I can add a global hotkey, should be pretty easy.
New version is out now (see first post) - this is better at setting the backlight, and stops the light timeout while in fullscreen.
If you had problems with the last version, try this.
@nagrom
the morse code didnt work for me... in my HD the keyboard didnt pop up... and the brightnes didnt change to max
@dotnecoder
something funny happen... when i went to fullscreen my brightness went to min...
i am using htc hd.
hope you fix it soon... and if you add the morse code or the scrolling text it will be great.

Ah, I think I know what could be causing that - if the setting for max brightness isnt in your registry, it will go to zero I'll fix that in the next version.

X Screen Stabilizer
ROOT REQUIRED
XPOSED FRAMEWORK REQUIRED
If You don't know What is XPOSED Framework then do not try this application (it wont work)
Have you tried to read a book or an article like this while on a bus or walking down the street? I bet you tried! In this case you should notice that reading text in a such way is not a good idea since the screen constantly shakes. It seems that screen shaking is a big enough issue and eliminating it can promise a good UX. This application uses the device accelerometer sensors to compensate for and smooth out screen content shaking in the same way as DSLR camera stabilizes its sensors/lenses
It uses the concept defined in the below link
no-shake-screen-stabilization-android
but uses a different approach using Xposed Framework
Free : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vivek.xscreenstabilizer
Pro : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vivek.xscreenstabilizer.pro
Xposed repository : http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.vivek.xscreenstabilizer
Parameter Details
Velocity Friction : It is used to adjust the friction of the movement of the screen when walking. If the value is greater, the screen translation will be slower.
Position Friction : It is used to adjust the speed at which the screen tries to adjust to the normal position.If the value is greater, it takes more time to adjust to normal position
Low pass filter alpha : It is used to filter the acceleration force values from the sensor for the smooth positioning of the screen
Velocity Amplification : It is used to amplify the calculated velocity and use it to translate the screen
please try it out and provide your valuable comments
Oww Great ! Thank You Bro
after setting the velocity friction to 0 something it doesn't allow you to slide the switch, also how much would this increase battery drain?

It prevents you from copying and pasting if you are moving. the cursor keeps blinking.
Hi, nice idea for a module!
What differentiates the pro version? Ad removal / extra features, or just dev support?
Can you offer any extra information on exactly what each of the tweakable parameters do?

Now the pro version is just Ad Free.
The extra parameters are used to adjust the movement according to your walking speed.
I don' t know if I did something wrong, but it didn't worked for me. The device has AOSP 5.1 and I'm also using GravityBox and Android N'ify.
Very fun idea. You may want to hardcode some safe minimum and maximums on each setting and give it some sort of tendency to return to normal once movement subsides.
I lowered the velocity friction to zero and moved my phone around. The screen went off screen enough, I guess, that it couldn't return to center and the button to disable the module was not responding.
Also, maybe add a whitelist so you can pick to only have it activate while certain apps are in the foreground (browser, e-book readers). While it's neat for testing, having it constantly adjusting your screen when using your phone can be awkward.
Bravo for doing something new and creative!

I have checked the log. It is showing the sensor cannot be registered. Which is your device ?
is there any restriction in using sensors when using GravityBox or AndroidNify ?
I am using the sensor TYPE_LINEAR_ACCELERATION for this application. Is it available in your device ?
I have updated the application to version 1.1
Cannot use Copy/Paste etc bug - Fixed
Minumum value for parameters set - Fixed
Nice one! Congrats and thanks!
Simple and immediate feature request that I believe will improve your app:
1. Widget to toggle on/off
2. Activity to toggle on/off (to trigger from other automation, gesture, button... apps)
3. Persistent notification to toggle on/off
4. Notification only when on, to turn off
5. Reset default setting values
And also these:
6. Blacklist apps (for instance to exclude launcher,...)
7. Floating panel with main adjustments slides (thick! cause will be moving) for real time fine tune. Can use to show/hide it a button on the ongoing notification. Or to hide a 2 fingers tap on panel.
One bug I experimented already:
It was on. Using Nova Launcher here. I went to app drawer and them home.... Them turned off stability. Nova Launcher screens got frozen partially out of screen. Only solution was to force reload all launcher.
Thanks!
Very great idea man. Thx. Hoping for the stablest final version
Great concept and great app!
It slowed down my system quite a bit though, so I had to uninstall it. A lot of apps (the foreground app I was using) would freeze and the Android System prompt would appear saying " xxx app is not responding, would you like to: wait, force close and reopen, or send bug report". Anybody else seeing this performance problem?
Really nice. Now if the entire ui could shift, instead of only the foreground activity, that would even be better.
For example, the keyboard is not moving, neither is a second app when open in split screen.
great idea man!in 3 years apple as usual will steall this great mod to implement into IOS!

I thought about that.....if I'm de developer I'd patent the implementation worldwide. It is a simple concept, somehow already available out there for other uses, but as far as I know not for portable devices screens. And....AR, VR, glass,....
This is the typical thing Apple, Samsung, Google, LG would build a proof of concept (this app is one) and patent it. And sell rights for millions.
By the way, another fantastic module that has this potential is AllTrans. Real time translation of any app from any language to any other language....probably Google would love to have that under Google Tanslator label (and spy a bit more on you).

Nice one! Congrats and thanks!
Simple and immediate feature request that I believe will improve your app:
1. Widget to toggle on/off
2. Activity to toggle on/off (to trigger from other automation, gesture, button... apps)
3. Persistent notification to toggle on/off
4. Notification only when on, to turn off
5. Reset default setting values
And also these:
6. Blacklist apps (for instance to exclude launcher,...)
7. Floating panel with main adjustments slides (thick! cause will be moving) for real time fine tune. Can use to show/hide it a button on the ongoing notification. Or to hide a 2 fingers tap on panel.
One bug I experimented already:
It was on. Using Nova Launcher here. I went to app drawer and them home.... Them turned off stability. Nova Launcher screens got frozen partially out of screen. Only solution was to force reload all launcher.
Thanks!

Thanks for the suggestions. I will add more features to it.

The keyboard movement will make it difficult to type if moving. As our fingers and actual device is at the same position, only screen movement is required I guess. Anyway I will try to provide and option to enable keyboard movement also if possible
Hello all!
I've seen it somewhat posted throughout the comments here but no thread on it directly. I figure the potential of this this deserves it's own thread and tutorial for those who are coming from Google to try and do exactly this without reading through a few threads.
Anyways:
How to enable Wide View on every app:
Download this app,G8x WideMode.
This puts a new icon in the top bar in the notification shade. If you don't see it, pull down twice and hit the pencil to edit the icons. Find the new one and place it somewhere near the top to keep it close by.
When the dual screen is open, tapping that will force wide screen in every app! There are some limitations:
Intent changes seem to revert the phone back to two separate pages. For instance, the mobile Reddit app Sync closes wide screen if I click any link to an external picture, video or site.
Some apps do f play nice in wide screen due to this, and you can't keep the phone permanently in the mode like a tablet, but it's a great improvement to a great phone idea.
This is super simple so I didn't think pictures were necessary, but let me know if I wasn't clear on anything or if you have problems somewhere!
This is very much appreciated! It works like a charm. It's not the floating dual screen thingy but the toggle buttons that you swipe down from the top. Make sure you add it.
Hey, this app seems to work great! I did have an issue with one app called Steam Link. Steam Link allows you to connect to a computer running Steam and remotely control it from your Android device. When I launch a game and try to use WideMode the Steam Link app refreshes and goes back to a single screen. I would love to be able to play some of my steam games over both screens.
Is there any way to make landscape apps go left/right instead of top/bottom?

I don't understand. couldn't you just auto rotate? you can also use the rotation control app to lock rotation, which helps with wide Mode

auto rotation did not work because some apps are forced landscape/portrait.
I did end up using the rotation control app with the per-app conditions. :good:
Next nice thing would be if some apps would restart at the new resolution, instead of stretching the single-screen app - some apps/games work perfectly, but others don't (and I think they should have a similar resolution compatible because I've used the axon M, which has "dual screen" retained through home with those apps).
