Landscape Toggle? - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps

Hi
I'm a big noob and I apologize in advance if this has been covered, but I have been looking everywhere for it and dont even know what it would be called. I have an AT&T Tilt and running mbarvian's amazing Solacev 3.1 ROM. I recently spilled coffee on my phone and cant use the qwerty correctly. I ordered a new one on Ebay, but it will be a while before it gets here. I have installed the HTCDiamond qwerty on the phone, and really like it. I would prefer to use it in landscape when I SMS and browse online. Is there a way I can put my phone into landscape without flipping the qwerty out? Maybe a setting I cant find or a .cab out there I dont know about? What I would like is a program where I could assign it to a button to put the phone into landscape view. Any idea what I'm talking about or am I just retarded?

You could use mortscript (you'll find it somewhere around here) and create a script to flip it into landscape. Dead easy.

simple!
i have button 6 hold (button 6 is the PTT button on the left side of the device above the scroll wheel) mapped to "Rotate Screen".
goto Settings->Personal->Buttons and select "Button 6 (hold)" (or whatever button you want) and map it by choosing "<Rotate Screen>" near the top in the drop down list on the bottom.

Awesome, thanks alot

Remove Calender&Contacts bar

Is it possible to remove to whole bar at the bottom of the home screen? Mine has links to contact & calender, but I just want to remove it since I dont use them at all...
Any ideas?
soft key applet
you can use a program called soft key applet, which is downloadable from the xda ftp site, not sure if you can simply turn these off, but you can assign different programs to them.
I use dcinobar, you can just click the .exe to enable / disable it. I have mine placed in the \windows\startup folder works perfectly.

nice post, def. gonna try this one out when I get the chance as I never use the on screen soft keys anyway,(plus I know I ain't the only one who can't stand the fact that the home screen plugin from HTC doesn't allow one to scroll down the today screen in landscape mode)and a little extra room is welcomed with open arms. I'm guessing you can still use the soft keys if you want to by pressing the hw buttons on the device right????
cheers
Heres the trick..
It LOOKS a lot better. It makes more of your image available to use.
But wither or not you use the buttons doesnt even matter, because when at the today screen, even if you press those buttons they still work. I use mine all the time, but I dont like the clutter, but it doesnt matter. I just remember what buttons do what, since they still work.
Im adding this to my newbie thread
Thanks!!
This gives the homescreen just a bit more room.
Another nice mod is to remove the iconset for the unlock/com man/etc located above this bar. I used the regedit method using total commander- simply delete the following from your registry:
\\HKLM\INIT\LAUNCH92
This is the key that launches the tray application at boot (To re-enable create the registry key above with the value TrayAp.exe)
Have fun!

Actually I found the tray icons very useful and actually added my own tray from batterstatus. One touch activation of any of the radio's and various programs makes using the tray very efficient. Plus you can access the tray without even touching the screen so its a win-win in my eyes.
Regarding Neptunes' first post at the top,
"(plus I know I ain't the only one who can't stand the fact that the home screen plugin from HTC doesn't allow one to scroll down the today screen in landscape mode)"
I have spent days looking for a fix/patch for this. Is not having the scroll feature in landscape mode the final answer on this one?
Thanks guys!
Scroll
Go to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\HTC Home and change the type to 4.
Poweroff and poweron.
Thanks, exactly what i need.

looking for two different cabs

Hello
I am a new owner of an att tilt. I believe it is the same as the tytnII. I am looking for two cabs to install on my phone.
1) a cab that lets me assign a button to switch between vibrate, silent, and ring. I found vibra switch, but it does not include silent.
2) a cab or program that allows me to assign a call log feature to a button. I use the call log quite frequently on my old phone.
Thank you for anyone that can give a newbie a suggestion
Adam
both of those can easily be accessed without cabs.
1- if you have the htc home screen, just press on the symbol that looks like a phone with a music symbol beside it, and it'll give you the option of switching profiles
2- just click the green talk button and then press up on the dpad
want the button press
Thank you for the response.
I have not tried htc homescreen yet. It appears to have a large clock and a tab system of the today screen that I am not fond of. Am I able to leave the today screen basically like it is with that program?
Also I want to be able to map these functions to a button. The reason for this is for easy access while driving. I feel a button press and using the jog wheel is a lot more accurate and requires less attention.
Thank you

Remap OK Button to Rotate Screen?

I'm interested in remapping the ok button (the one on the side, below the scroll wheel, not the one below the end key) to rotate the screen. However, I can't seem to find out how to do anything at all with this button. Can anyone help?
i'd like this also.
I'm wondering if maybe this has to be done within the registry?
i remember reading in a thread before this that the remapping was not possible for that OK button... but i am not sure i could be wrong
try hbutton. it lets you map about anything to the hard buttons. you can map multiple programs to one button too. i use it to map the OK button to close a program, open htc audio, and screen rotate.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=306794
if you are referring to the ok button on the front of the kaiser, i remapped that button to rotate the screen from; settings>buttons. i am, however, using a sim free htc tytnII. this may not be available in the network branded versions. hope this helps.
sorry misread your post, you were talking about the side one. doh! no i couldn't remap that one either.
at this moment no one can really find the registry for that button. people have tried, i read about 3 posts that had people trying and they were unsuccessfull
i am still also interested in getting that button remapped
AE button plus will remap the side button, except if you are on the today screen, where a press of the button will bring up the start menu.
i currently have it to turn off the phone, since i friggin hate how htc made the real power button so flush with the body, so that if i'm on the today screen, i press it twice quickly to power off the device. the first press brings up the start menu, then the second press will take the focus off the today screen and implement your action. likewise, hitting the side button will turn off the phone if i'm in any sort of application or anything non-today screen.
and mapping this buttom also maps the keyboard ok, so now i'm suddenly without a keyboard ok button
What exactly is this Side Ok Button for anyways? It doesnt act as a confirm button
I would also like to remap the OK button to rotate screen. When I am using Garmin I like to have it rotated for cradle and visual purposes.
Also, don't know if anyone ever noticed this. I have polarized sunglasses, and when my phone is facing up and down like in portrait mode it is not as bright as it could be, but i rotate it like it is in landscape mode and I can see perfect with them on. Weird!
Let me know if this doesn't work out. I wrote apps for the Universal once to assign to any key. But that was a long time ago. I'm sure better solutions exist now.

You can do it for sure with SPB Pocket Plus & the Shortcut Add-in/Plugin.
I actually made an action sender for this purpose, for another button, but if I get some time , I'll pull out my old work & look.
But SPB PP does allow it for sure. You can map two of anything to that button, one for press & one for press & hold.
Anything new on this?
I've tried some different things...still nothing.
another bump...
bump it up again...anyone know how to remap the OK button (forget the rotate screen)?

Button to switch to landscape mode

I've noticed on HTC Home, that there is a button to change from portrait to landscape and vice versa,
i was just wondering if there is a way to associate this function to one of the buttons?(voice CMD) or the internet key on the front
thanks
josh
Sure, just search for it. Took me 10 seconds to find it.
I've just spent 5 minutes, and I can't locate the answer.
It's times like this that I realise how lucky we are to have members who know *exactly* where to look though. Then tell us that they know.
*awards cookie*
Screen rotation
I've an Italian device, so I try to guess the correct path:
Choose Start/Settings/Buttons
In the upper pane, choose the button You want to use to perform the "rotate screen" function
Choose the function you want (<Screen rotate> I suppose) from the combo box in the lower side of the screen.
Hope this helps

Configure hardware buttons for gfDoom

Hey guys, i just spent like an hour trying to figure this damn thing out but i cant seem to do it!
here's the game, gfDoom,
http://home.freeuk.com/gamefreaks/pql/gfDoom.htm
just FYI.
I'm attaching the "keyboard" skin for the game, which allows landscape and i'm quite happy with it. The only problem is in landscape i cant see a way to save the game, or exit the game.
By default for Touch Pro, landscape
VOLUME DOWN = OPEN DOOR (which is fine)
BACK BUTTON/OK BUTTON = SHOOT (also fine)
Other hardkey buttons unmapped.
doesnt need a map button since on screen, bottom left corner activates the map
now i'm trying to map the pause/menu button to one of the hardkeys. Make full use of em. Like the enter key and the volume up key. Can someone help me out here? I think one key shud be a letter or something so that can save the game. Like when i wanna save the game i have to type a name.
I have found this link "Keys and Key Codes for Windows Mobile" but am unable to get it to work after several attempts.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb431750.aspx
see attachment for the instructions and the folder containing the skin "Keyboard"
Hopefully someone can help me out by helping me map it out.
Please post results here
bump for attention. i'm sure someone knows these stuff and i'm hoping to learn T.T
bump one more time. maybe i shud ask in raphael main forum section?
Change the title of your thread. It sounds like you're trying to get someone to give you registration keys for software, or something equally illegal. I realize you're not, but I may simply be more curious than the average reader.
Look for a program called HButton. It might do what you're looking for.
Also, it's considered bad form to bump your own threads, unless they fall off the first page without getting responses.

yea it fell off the first page which is why i bumped it.
oh okay will edit thread title.
and btw HButton is to assign apps to hardware buttons. what i need is some help regarding configuring the .txt file for gfDoom to configure Doom controls. what i need is a hardware button for the menu key
Managed to get it working reasonably.
Volume down = FIRE
Volume up = STRAFE (hold down whilst pressing left or right)
OK/Select = OPEN
Back = FULLSCREEN (Toggles between portrait and landscape)
Couldn't seem to map the Call and Call-end buttons successfully.
Having the "Back" button as a full screen button seemed more functional than just using it to pause or quit the game, as from the portrait/keyboard mode you can access these facilities and more (e.g. save, load, exit etc).
Just stick the modded text file in your "KEYBOARD" folder. I've renamed my "KEYBOARD" folder "DEFAULT" so I don't have to use the launcher .exe (configuration tool) and can just use the direct .exe to go straight into the game.
P.s. The game seems to run ever so slightly more smoothly if you disable TF3D (Manila) from: Settings/Today
before launching the game. Simply enable again once you're finished.
In case you want to setup you controls differently, here are the mapping codes for the buttons:
Code:
Button Hex Dec
vol+ 0x75 117
vol- 0x76 118
back 0x5c 92
end 0x73 115
call 0x72 114
ok 0x86 134
up 0x26 38
down 0x28 40
left 0x25 37
right 0x27 39
You need to enter the decimal values within the text file.
i'm actually using the up button to pause game to save etc etc. but i'll definitely try to follow your config for the volume up button. cuz i cant get mine to work. i prefer back as shoot. lets me run around with stylus and shoot/strafe.
I've modded the skin a little further, using the default skins layout and the keyboard skins toolbar (with fullscreen and exit etc)
Attached the skin files...
Made two new skins for GFDOOM from scratch with as much functionality for the Raphael as I could map. I'm quite pelased with them.
One is a Doom themed skin, the other one is to match NRG's EnergyROM theme.
