hi
sorry real noob question, I'm running orbit with touch 2.1 ROM, could any of you extremely more experienced guys out there advise if there is a way to configure any of the buttons to control the lock / unlock function - would just about complete the transformation that my orbit has seen since finding this site and putting on the touch rom
cheers WBC
Hello, first off id like to say that i did try searching for this but i had no luck. ive seen in some roms a program that controls screen brightness with out having to go to the settings then power. i was wondering if it was in .cab format somewhere. thanks in advance
My friends installed in blackstone a rom xxe (i think energy) with a beautifull program.
In the screen there was a torch and it was possible to control the intesity of the white light in the screen ; it is'nt a real torch but in emergency conditions is very good.
I would like to install this program, but i don't know the name and i try to search on XDA but i did'nt found it.
guys, anybody know this program?
here you go
Grazie
Giorgio
Hello guys and girls
I have a problem with a HTC Dialer in all the WM6.5 ROMs.
I am a Rhodium user and sometimes I use Landscape mode even with my keyboard detached. I have a Navi Software called AutoMapa which automatically rotates the screen to Lanscape to fit the in-car use.
And every app I am running by the time AutoMapa is on, appears in Landscape mode. But unfortunately when I press the SendKey to call somebody (or if somebody calls me) the dialer always appears in Portrait mode forcing the screen to rotate to Portrait mode as well.
This is annoying because later I have to manually turn the screen again to landscape in order for further navigation.
Is there any way to prevent the dialer from appearing always in Portrait?
To be clear: I don't want the Dialer app to follow the G-Sensor. I already tried to add the cprog.exe to the G-Sensor lists, but the effect is that the dialer appears in Portrait, turns itself to Landscape for a moment, and then turns to Portrait again making it impossible to answer a call. The side effect is that when somebody calls me when my phone is in the pocket (out of the car) I can see the caller in many different screen modes depending on how I take the phone from the pocket.
So what I want is that the Dialer should follow the current screen mode no matter if it's Landscape or Portrait instead of bringing whole system to Portrait.
This problem occurs in every WM6.5 ROM starting from Rhodium stock 2.07 through all the cooked SE ROMs I tested.
I write about it here and not in the Rhodium forum because the same effect is present for LEO and Topaz according to my friends' information. So it is either a matter of the Dialer itself or perhaps there is some mode selection list in the registry (similar to the G-Sensor list) where some of the applications are mentioned together with their default mode...
I am not the guru if about the registry so please take a look in my problem.
Thanks in advance

PS2. The workaround is presented in post #13
Hello again,
I would like to ask a Moderator to move this thread to Questions and Answers, as maybe there will be somebody able to help me. It's making me mad to have to rotate the screen every time I want to call somebody...
moved to the right forum, please post in the correct forums.

Thanks, althoug I have Rhodium, but the same issue (perhaps this is not actually an issue for everybody) exists in Topaz and LEO according to my friend's information. That's the only reason I posted my question in the general part.
Thus I searched a lot around here and google, I didn't seem to find anything about the dialer problem...
anybody?
Perhaps I should ask this question in yet another forum part? Any suggestions would be welcome...
Absolutely no one knows the answer to this question.
It shouldn't be that hard.
My rhodium dialer supports landscape and portrait but rotates the screen to portrait when the phone is in landscape.
(using 826x rom)
Confirm that the problem exists, any help from the xda experts would be highly welcome
Luckily for me, the developers of the navigation software I use (AutoMapa) redesigned the newest interface and now when I start the software in Landscape and then minimize it (i.e. because of an incoming call), the app detects the screen orientation when brought to "front" again and turns accordingly. It takes very long time though...
But it's only a workaround not a solution.

Did you try to experiment a bit with the registry settings corresponding to the dialer?
EDIT: I guess that this "return to landscape" is hardcoded in .dll's, but who knows? It's worth a try.
Hell yeah... I spent many hours on that. But it's also possible that I didn't know where to look. That's why I posted this thread...
BTW, In your Hybrid ROM v6 there was no problem. And I remember that the dialer looked like in S1 (WM6.5) stock ROM, is it possible it actually was an S1 dialer?
Edit: Please note that the dialer does not return the screen to portrait when the hardware keyboard is extended.

Nope. Those are totally different builds (but same version).
S0 (stock WM6.1) = PhoneCanvas 3.50.34796
S1 (stock WM6.5) = PhoneCanvas 3.50.36045
S2 (stock WM6.5 2nd generation) = PhoneCanvasEnhancement 4.2.51720
PS Did you look at
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\PHONE]
"ViewMode"=dword:00000001
?

I don't remember but I just did. Both "0" and "1" don't make any difference. I don't know if there are any other values for this key.
Well, if somebody is still interested I have found a workaround (not a solution) to the problem with rotating dialer.
Apparently when we activate the new HTC dialer, first of all it checks in registry if the hardware keyboard is open (at least for Raphael and Rhodium) and then if it discovered that the keyboard is closed, it triggers the screen back to portrait mode.
The "test" reg entry is
Code:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Keypad:IsSlideOut
"0" means the keyboard is closed,
"1" means the keyboard is opened.
Now I wrote a little app which is nothing more than a simple screen rotate toggler, but when it turns the screen to Landscape it writes "1" to the above registry value and therefore "cheats" the system that the keyboard is open (of course when run again, it sets the vaule back to "0").
When I use this app to rotate my screen to Landscape, the dialer doesn't switch back to portrait anymore. I have mapped this file to my hardware Send key and use this every time I want to change the orientation without actually sliding the keyboard (for instance in my car).
I didn't notice any side effects of this "cheat". The SIP in Landscape is triggered by different reg key
Code:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\Rotation:SlideKey
and the keyboard backlight is controlled in yet another place.
Feel free to test it and post your comments...
Hello,
in sounds and notifications section there is enable to set longer time (or no limit) Led diode flashing time for SMS, reminders notifications etc. Is there some remedy how to customize this feature, in HTC 3G (Touch FLO, WM 6,1) it is running w/o any problem.
Many thanks for any help and comments.
Milan
Use Bsb Tweak to "unlock" the light-flashing time limit.

Hi, thanks a lot for hint, I will try it.
