Well, simply put, I'm running the latest Aloysius, albeit with a flashed lockscreen (theme changed it, found a .zip entitled nexusone to get it back to the normal lockscreen).
When I enable the 'lockscreen controls' on cubed, then bring up the lockscreen..... the phone goes back to sleep, then when I wake it again, I'm presented with my homescreen background with the music controls, and UNLOCK in large letters in the bottom right. If I touch the word, it unlocks.
I'm assuming that's not supposed to happen. In fact, I'm ASSUMING it's supposed to show up on the normal lockscreen. Any ideas as to what's going on?
Also, the cube gets 'shredded' when I turn it into landscape mode. Everything else on the phone works fine in landscape. :V

How do I put my Diamond in landscape mode?
Thanks,

You need to tweak the registry.
change->
HKeyLocalMachine/System/GDI/Rotation
Change the "HideOrientationUI" from 1 to 0
change "LandscapeFixed" from 1 to 0.
Then you can swith from settings/screen or change the key(call) to switch orientation.
Or load GSen and have which ever mode you feel like in an instant by rotating the phone.
So with GSen, can I just rotate my phone and so when using typing text messages, the keyboard will get wider?
sort of.... if you rotate the phone, the keyboard will get wider in a sense that its longer with less hight. The keys then shift around slightly.
Try it, its free and its great. Don't like it? Delete it.
Thanks for the Gsen suggestion. I have installed it and it doesn't do anything, even after rebooting.
Start Menu-> Programs -> Gsen
You won't get any acknowledgment on screen or anything, just click it once. If you click it again you will be told its unloaded. Once you have it loaded (by clicking once)..... turn the phone and wait a second
If you like it, you can then copy this to the startup directory so it autoruns when you boot.
edit: it also installs two other apps. Not sure what they are but i've never needed them so don't worry about them, just leave them sitting happily where they are.
Ahh fab! All working now thank you!
No worries ... great app eh!
Something strange happened. I lost the Start menu bar at the top. Cured itself after rebooting. Does this happen often?
aahhh now i had that issue but it went when i put on a cooked rom (Diamond TLR).
Ahh ok. Well, perhaps its time for me to choose a ROM. Now that is going to completely do my head in!
I just noticed it now when I opened my browser to do a search, and it won't rotate. I have auto-rotate enabled in Settings -> Display, and Handcent has an auto-rotation setting that is also enabled.
I'm also using LauncherPro, and I disabled the auto-rotation there (but that only eliminates the rotation on the home screens). Not too sure what happened, anybody have any ideas?
//edit
It actually works, but only when I rotate it clock wise - when I first got it I've been rotating it counter-clock wise, is there an option to enable both ways, or is the new Froyo 2.2 only one direction?
strange, I'm not sure the problem but in Froyo my screen rotates both ways, in Eclair it only went so the soft buttons/trackball are on the right side

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yep I remember rotating both ways with Froyo when I first flashed Cyanogen 6.0. It's weird because when I open YouTube, it rotates counter-clockwise (track ball is on right side). When I open a Browser and try to rotate it counter-clockwise, no luck. But when I rotate it clockwise, it works!
No idea if I changed a setting or not (girlfriend was playing with it) so I can't provide much details on that. I've installed a couple of widgets (SwitchPro) but I'm sure that won't effect anything.
I'm running cognition 2.4.1, it has a rotation on the home screen! The actual home screen will rotate when the screen it turned landscape. The other cogs dont do this, even the newest one(11/18/10). I asking if we can get a full 360 degree rotation for the screen, like the jailbroken iPhone. That's just cool! Useful as well when using it in the car on landscape.
Check Settings=>Display and see if auto rotate screen is checked.
You can also use LauncherPro to achieve the same.
or you can simply pull down the task bar, and hit the auto rotate button
I actually like the home screen rotating. I'm just wondering if there is a way to do full 360° rotation. With the plug on the top, I could turn the phone upside down when in the car. I love it.
It's launcher dependant. Pull the launcher .apk from whatever ROM and plug it into another.

Currently Using Serendipity 5.5 and I realized after mounting the phone in my car that the lockscreen stays portrait no matter what. I distinctly remember either the stock rom or Paragon (the only two other roms I've used) had a rotatable lockscreen. Is this not available in Serendipity or is there some config I'm missing? Thanks!
This isn't supposed to be some sort of snide comment, but I'm not sure I get the idea of a rotatable "lock" screen. Lock disables the touch interface, and shuts down the display. Mounted in a car, you don't have to disable the touch interface, and if your display is off, there's no point to rotating it.
To move on to what I think you want, Serendipity (with Go Launcher EX for me) does allow rotation of the home screen. You can set the display to be always on when plugged in. So you can just display the home screen of your choice. You can have a lot of home screens with Go Launcher, so you can create one of your choice with car-type apps.
On the other hand, the "clock" app that comes with Serendipity is what the Samsung Home Dock was supposed to be (with the possible exception of having no choice of folder for the slideshow, not that I intend to use it). It also rotates. And the setting is for the display to be on at all times.
I found it by accident. In case any of you haven't seen the clock app yet... The last image is with the dim option (pressing the "sun" in the upper right).
Danger...

Ok, for real... I don't know the answer to your question because I drive a 91 BMW that does not even have an AUX port... So I suck, but... I would like to take this time to announce my brotherhood in the 10+ poster club!!! Here it is, time to celebrate!!!
First, thank you for the great information provided, and a GREAT thanks to the developers for not abandoning the captivate (like Samsung did). I could only imagine if you guys could build your own device with the tools they have...!
Anyway, I just flashed my first rom, Andromeda 1.0, and am noticing that when I unlock the screen, the first touch isn't recognized. I have to press somewhere on the screen, and then the second touch is recognized. It affects the bottom dock buttons as well, and it doesn't seem to matter how much time has elapsed. I can unlock the phone and press in 2 seconds, or 30 seconds, and it won't recognize the first touch, only the second.
I have launcher pro (paid) installed, but noticed it also affects the default touchwiz launcher as well. The only other thing I've changed was switching to the JL2 modem. I checked, and I can't clear cache for either touchwiz or launcher pro (if that would make a difference).
Just curious if anyone else has been affected by this, as it seems to be the ONLY problem I've had with this rom. Wifi works great, gps (as well as it can, lol) and everything else I've put it through. It's been very stable. I really like this rom, beside this one issue.
Any ideas? Re-flash?
Do you have fancy widget installed?
I found with fancy widget installed if you enable the live weather wallpaper that you have to touch the screen to unlock it (even after screen lock), and then you can touch your icons.
try this instead

Thanks guys.
I do have fancy widgets installed, and it looks like the live weather was causing the hold up.
Now on to 1.1
