Home rotation bug caused by Raging Thunder 2 - Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps

Hi, just thought this was an interesting bug to come across knowing that the Hero doesn't natively support landscape home in Sense or the default android home.
When playing Raging Thunder 2 (Lite in my case), let the phone sleep (press end call), now wake the phone and unlock the screen. The phone is forced into landscape home until you correct it (hold phone portrait). This happens in both sense and the default android home, however Sense forcecloses.

Yep indeed,... tested what you said and you are indeed correct,... I tried this with the full paid version and had the same issue.
It is not an issue if just left idle on the game as the game does not allow the phone to go into into sleep mode,...
FIX: Download and install spare parts (it is free),... This is an excellent app which gives access to settings not available as standard.
Once installed, open app, go to "End button behavior",... select "Home, then sleep". Now if you are ever in an app (not on any one of your homescreens), when you press end, it will first take you home, then you have to press it again to put the phone in sleep mode.
I know its an extra button press but I do like to have it sleep only on the homescreen.
Peace.

Good solution. I have spare parts set to sleep on end button by preference, but I see that would be a good solution. Plus yeah, how many people are going to press end to put phone to sleep whilst playing a game.
And this bug doesn't really bother me, just thought I'd share it.

Its a good spot,... maybe worth letting the guys at Polarbit know.

I posted a comment on the market. Hopefully they'll spot it.

Sorry, but what kind of callendar app widget do you use?
It looks nice

No worries. It's agenda widget, free from the market. My favourite out of all the ones I've tried.

Thx Adam,
Nice widg. allready downloaded =]
I'm using (i was ) CalWidget (egg'n stones) - also nice looking.
Will compare those two - i thikn they are the best?!
Oh! And SlideScreen [larvalabs] too

close all app

Is tere a small program (kind of like vibra switc) that if you pres it, it just closes all programs like instead of going to start_settings_system_memory_close all. i'd like to assign it to a button. thanks
wktask has that built in its features. You can either do a gesture to do close all or just hold the top corner(where the x would be) to close all programs.
its free at http://soft.photoracer.net/docs/wktask_en.html
It's in my original TyTN II without any custom ROM.

Thanks. I already have the HTC manager but i want to ditch it because it's really slow. I just want a really simple 1 icon program that shuts off all current running programs. Basically i assignt it to the PTT button and it shuts it all off. I don't want a separate manager that does it, i already have that. Thanks
So there's no such app?
this is what you want, I along w/many others use it and it's great, the close all is just a small feature of what it does. http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-wktask-v1-1-7-3b.html
Thanks for the link, but not what i want. Just a simple close all program (few kb's) is what i'm looking for.
for me i once used "zapIT!"
but i guess since i´m running netcf3.5 it is not working anymore and freezing your device.
you can assinge it to a hardwarebutton also...

This is what i am looking, well something like it that works. I tried it out. I had some programs opened and i ran "Zapit" however my programs stayed running and didn't stop them all. Any idea?

my fault. for me it also runs only ap by app. it makes possible to get the "x" on a hardware button.
even if it was annoucend in the thread i got it to close ALL apps. never did for me - yes you´re right.
but i like the function of assinging...
Ah i see. I use aebutton plus for what you are talking about. I have a long press of the Ok button to close the app. But i need one that stops all current running apps.

Different today screens?

I know this is a bit of an odd question, but is there a way to have two different today screens on the Tilt, one for when the keyboard is closed and one for when its open?
I want this because i dont like having to scroll down on the little scroll bar to access the programs below when the key board is open.

is there a program or a setting that could do this?
And to refrain from posting 2 threads, is there a way to schedule your phones ring volume? like every week day from Time A to time B its vibrate and the rest its not?
I think the answer is yes, and yes.
I'm pretty sure the phone uses different pic files when changing resolution upon opening the Tilt. I don't know of a program to set it but I bet there is one. I'm surprised no one has helped on that yet. Hang in there.
There are several programs to set the phone volume at a schedule. This is called a "phone profile". PocketZen Phone and SPB Phone Suite are two examples.
Try a search, see my sig fo link. Good luck.
If you use Resco Picture Viewer and set one picture as a wallpaper when on portrait mode, and then another when you're on landscape mode, you'll get two different wallpapers.
If anyone knows of another method I would like to know aswell.
Cheers
Ok pizzaguy wants 2 diferant screens on slide open and closed. Not only change the wallpaper (background). Well pizzaguy I hope someone can help u because then they would also be helping me.... I want the same thing. Later dude.....
I think the only solution is Wisbar Advance Desktop.
That can create a page for portrait and one for landscape.
There is a program from a company called Netwasp, Thememaker M, that allows you to make WM6 themes with a portrait and landscape Graphic that are different. I'm using it to make themes for my Tilt, and it works great

I use PhoneWeaver from http://www.SBSH.net for this, and love it. I have it set up to be on vibrate during normal business hours, quite after I put my daughter down to bed, silent at night while I'm sleeping, and loud rest of the time. Everything can be completely scheduled based on time/days. You can also set up different alerts for Phone/Mail/SMS/etc. based on these profiles as well. The only issues that I have come across is that it doesn't turn Wifi off correctly, but I think there is a work-around for this.

Nice little program i thought up but i don't have the skills to make it

i have been looking around the net for this for a while a but i can't find what i'm looking for. i think it would be nice if there was a program that auto hid the on the screen such as the contact and phone buttons and the start bar on the normal phone screen and more or less the same ones on touchflo 3d for the reason if you wanted just see the calender and the call history on the touchflo 3d and the stuff on the normal screen like your widgets and then when you want to use the bars you could move your finger or stylest to the area of which they where and they would pop up and this program would be cooler if it also adjust the background picture to the size of the screen if it was to big to see the whole picture on the screen, so that you can see it. if it is too hard to put those two things i one program put them in separate ones.
Yeah sounds good. Maybe instead of hiding the icons and stuff just make them transparent and when your finger touches them they can light up or have the color for the icon come back?.. I’ve seen a few people working on making transparent clocks so I don’t think that should be too hard.
that is good but i wanted to make this so that you could see the whole background and the picture that is in my background
What you are asking for is pretty much already a reality in 2.1 and 2.5 Sense manila with the addition of Max Manila Mod.

With the different options in fullscreen. I'm currently running the latest Energy ROM he has remapped the home key to do what it is supposed to, bring you back to the home screen. With it in fullscreen if I press the home key it will bring up the topbar for a second or two, just long enough to be able to press it to get to the notification page. As far as pressing where the calendar or alarms tabs should be will not bring up the pages. You would have to either scroll to the options to turn them back on for a second or just go to the calendar tab. Alarms you can still get to by tapping the clock to get to world clock settings then just go to the alarm tab at the bottom.

Should work on ALL AOSP based Eclair roms
** ROOT IS REQUIRED **
This is a simple application that allows you to use the menu key to unlock the phone from the lockscreen rather than sliding the tab.
Simply run the app, enable the option, and then press menu to unlock the phone when you're on the lockscreen.
Tested on the Nexus One, Droid, and the G1. (All were running 5.0.x)
If you want to support me, scan the QR code and buy it from the market, but otherwise simply download the attached APK. I'm releasing it for free on XDA because this is my 'home' community and I'm loyal to my roots. (Please don't mirror the APK anywhere else)
I'm cross-posting this from the Nexus One subforum because of all the questions in #cyanogenmod about menu unlock
wait what? i can unlock from the lockscreen by pressing menu and i never installed this app......in fact i would prefer if it didnt
i too would prefer that it didnt unlock with the menu key. been trying to find a way to not have this happen.. interesting app though haha. i didnt know there was a phone that did not unlock with the menu key. from dream to magic and various roms this was the case.
This is for the latest CM5.0.7-test2 D/S where Menu to Unlock is disabled by default.

And my not But I want it back, so maybe I will install this apk.
I find this utility very usefull i have tried in 2.1 and 2.2 Froyo and works perfect - I hate the Slider screen to unlock - this is a real life saver.
I have a small request - is it possible to we can add an option in this app to assign the Camera button to pick up calls along with this - it would make it perfect !
Or if it can be made into a separate app like this - small and focused app.
I wouldnt mind paying for the option if needed !
Please?
Doesn't work in Gingerbread. Does this functionality depend on the kernel to support it ?

Did you ever want to enjoy Youtube Videos with screen Off to save your battery?
With Screen Off Keep Playing, now, you can!
_______________________________________________________________
Works very good with Amoled Screens!
Due to Android limits isn't possible to turn off completely the screen but on Amoled Screen Black = No Battery Drain!
On LCD the black screen with the lowest brightness will help a lot to save your battery anyway.
_______________________________________________________________
When you launch "Screen Off Keep Playing" the App will ask for some permission. After that, you can launch the service and the App will wait in background until you decide to run it.
Long press and release the Volume Up Button and the screen will become black, showing the logo for 10 seconds. After that the logo will disappear and the brightness set to the lower value.
Example:
- Start a Youtube playlist, long click on volume up button and the screen will go black while your video is playing! If you need the screen on again just long press the volume up button again!
_______________________________________________________________
Remember: This app works over any other apps, so not only Youtube with screen off but every app!
IMPORTANT: This App works with a key event filter so can't be used with other apps that use the same permission like, for example, any button remap app.
PRO version without ADS and more features will come in the next days!
Amazing work dude ! Gonna try this out! Thanks and keep it up!
Gonna try it! And big thanks for your works on the G Pad 8.3
