Alternate snapview and tf3d? - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General

I have just tried pawels snapvue .cab on my diamond and it dispalys perfectly in landscape mode.
Just wondering if anyone can think of a way to have tf3d as the today screen in portrait and when you rotate the device (using gsensor) the today plugin changes to snapvue?

That might cause a fair bit of lag, you'd have two today screens essentially running on standby. If you like snapvue just disable tf3d and set your Diamond to landscape mode permanently.

I like them both.
I was thinking along the lines of a profile switcher which is set to change when the device is tilted back and forth from landscape to portrait when on the today screen.

I'm not too hot on the programming front but I assume you'd have to either have touchflo AND snapvue running consecutively (with one running hidden depending on orientation) OR set each plugin to initialize from a cold start depending on orientation. both scenarios would I think cause problems - intensive ram usage go the first instance and VERY slow profile switching in the second (You've seen how long it takes for touchflo to start on boot!).
I don't think it's just a simple bit of programming needed here unfortunately

How can the diplay rotation be forced?

I just installed TomTom 6 on my Diamond, all is working well but I can't seem to force the display to rotate 90 degrees to landscape orientation.
On my Wizard I always programmed one of my hardware buttons to <rotate screen>. There's only one button to program (the green phone button) on the Diamond, but the <rotate screen> option is not available!
Any thoughts?
Have you tried to install SPB pocket plus and use the built-in shortcut to rotate the screen? It should work... or so i hope
with QuickMenu.

Wow nice app!
Ill try it out on my wife's Diamond to see if it will force rotate (and hopefully remain rotated after a reboot/restart).
I was hoping on a more elegant solution, other than having to install a whole new app just to enable screen rotation!
You know what, I'll fire up the WM6 SDK and program a TT6 launcher myself Let me know if anyone's interested so we can gather some tips and other useful input on this.
I used quicktime but it messed up my taskbar, my close programs icon was gone
needed to hard reset

default startup screen orientation

hi guys,
just liberated my shift and used the cooked roms to enable gps in wm.
i want to load up my wm side with a portrait display every time. had a browse through the registry and i cant see any obvious keys. also searched the net and nothing...
are there any reg codes which i can edit to make wm start up in portrait mode every time?
rgds, james
I did never do such on an shift but afaik manila has an option to switch portrait / landscape mode, try to cook manila (i recommend 2d for speed) into your rom
Greets
I have the option in WM Screen settings to set the orientation to portrait, however when you soft reset the device it switches back to landscape.
I'm looking for a way to ensure this is always set to portrait on startup.
Thx, J

TP on landscape

Just a simple question if anyone is willing to help
How do I keep my phone on landscape all the time?
I have tried going to "settings -> align screen -> landscape" but everytime i close my keyboard goes back to portrait mode . Some say it's due to "clear type" i turned that off and still keeps going back to portrait [I do lot of texting]
So if anyone has any ideas and would like to pass on plz 'n thanks
If you rotate the screen in closed-keyboard(portrait) to landscape,it keeps all the time in LS mode all the time after(keyboard in/out doesn't matter).. You can do it using mortscript,SPB PocketPlus or in a different way.
I have got a opera mobile 9.7 beta and when you rotate screen on landscape with this software and press home button, your screen will be still on landscape
// It is some BUG of opera, but you can use it

And also i found program called GSen ot rotates your touch pro !
If you have sk tools (probably even the free version), use the shortcut manager to create a landscape mode shortcut, then copy it into \windows\startup. You should be good to go.

I will give this a try thanks bud
In changeScreen you have the choise which orientation you want to use by default. And you can make exceptions. For example, I hate it when bubble breaker starts a new game when I tilt my phone to far, so I've set it up in a way it only uses portrait.

hehe im trying to do the exact opposite
I want tf3d to be in portrait all the time, regardless of keyboard in or out.
If i figure out how, ill let you know because it should be easy then to convert to landscape only.

Nope sorry
I had another thread going and their were a few suggestons but it didnt make any difference.
why not just use screenchanger 2.8 and set default only 2 the landscape of your choice (dont know if ur right or left handed)???
if u chose "enable" and "run on startup" wouldnt that fix everything w/o out using some stupid glich?
all the programs that i have used like gsen etc, dont override the keyboard slide. It seems to have some hardwired switch which overrides all of those programs and forces landscape, and then back to portrait when you slide it back in.

No TF3D2 landscape

Does anyone know of a way to lock tf3d2 in portrait mode? I never use TF3D2 in landscape, and all it does is get in the way when i try and write a message, often lagging, then opening TF3D2 in landscape over the top of my new message.
Would be sweet if theres a way to completely remove landscape tf3d2, or simple remove the setting that triggers landscape in Touchflo when keyboard is open (but still triggers it for all other apps).
Cheers
yeah!
I'd like to have the tf3d menu in landscape - but the tf3d2 in portrait mode :-D

that wouldnt be bad, i thught of that. But it still lags, some often ill hit new message slide the keyboard and it goes back to landscape tf3d2 (even the tf3d landscape in the old tf3d did this).
Give this a try
Edit EnableLanscape value to false in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila
*nevermind, tried it on my device and it just made the tabs disappear
I don't even know why they're (ROM devs) are using TF3D2 in their ROMS. It's a buggy pile. Try opening up the Comm Mgr. in landscape mode, and then attempt to turn something on/off.
You can't.

[Q] Auto Windows image rotation

Hi guys, Happy Easter! Currently I am typing from my D2, so I'm not able to search for a good fix due to slow wi-fi connection. That's why I'm asking any of you that already knows how to make my screen auto rotate. I am using windows 6.5 and I can't remember which rom, tough it's a very simple one. At this point my image won't auto rotate when moving the phone, so games like Rock Band won't work. Opera and other few programs auto rotate plus games that are made only on landscape. The problem is I can't find the auto rotate setting or program, only a setting that makes me choose landscape/portrait. I changed my whole menu to landscape and Rock Band still doesn't work. Can anyone help me?
Thank you

There is an auto rotate app here. I have not tested it so I can't confirm that it will work on your ROM.
You can also try the attached GSensor cab.
Another thing you can do use the Topaz keyboard control app and set rotate to one of your buttons.

Thanks. The first program is working grrreat! Though not for Calculator. I've added and removed it from the list and rebooting my mobile and Calculator doesn't rotate.

The app must support rotation and you could also set one of your buttons on double\triple\ or long press to rotate screen left or right with the kybrd cnfg....
