Gyrator 2 Settings

Im not sure where the settings for gyrator controled events are stored, but if there is such a location could you help share your settings so we can all get a better grip of this great app?
I've tried adding some Events myself, but ive not been very successful.
Could someone help me get Gyrator to do some of the following:
* When TOMTOM is being used, I would like the screen to rotate landscape or portrait respective to the appropiate angle the HD is faced. However, I would like the rotation to stay fixed once the stylus is inserted. The rotation direction should only be able to change when the stylus is removed. (This should help me lock the screen to a landscape direction if needed or portrait if needed, and not have to worry about bumps in the road flipping my screen all over the place when driving.)
* When Windows Media Player is being used, I would like Gyrator not to rotate the screen whatsoever, because the WMP app seems to have G-Sen rotation already built in, and with Gyrator running, the phone gets very confused, and tries to show my video in lanscape on the portrait facing screen, thus chopping off half of the video)
* if anyone can suggest any other usefull Events that they've found useful, please let me know too (and if possible, let me know how to do it)?
Thanks.
BTW, ive looked at the Gyrator website, and their instructions are not the easiest to follow. (oh, and I find Gyrator 2 to be a much better app than the alternatives, hence why I am sticking with it - hoping I will learn how to use it much better)
Cheers.

That should have answers to all your needs (including WM Player and TT)
if you still have questions after reading the thread, let me know

Thanks, that helped wonders!

[Q] Automatically rotate screen, with manual overide on demand

Hi,
I have seen several apps, which will rotate the screen, i.e. Gyrator. So far that works nice.
But in some cases, i like to switch screen manually and override the automatic sensor.
Is there a way to do this?
If not, is there a tool, which lets me manually rotate the screen, same like in my old Trinity?
Best regards,
Michael

registry hack to enable screen rotation ui tab
http://pocketnow.com/thought/bringing-manual-screen-rotation-back-to-the-touch-diamond
describes how to enable the screen rotation ui tab, and works on the blackstone too.

Screen rotation How can i do this ?

how can i simulate keyboard sliding out (without actually opening it) to obtain the landscape state with all programs so that i can switch from portrait view (4all) to landscape (4all) apart from the G sensor.
I have tried all rotation programs ( Gyrator2, changescreen, G-config, G list) and i'm really disappointed they have issues with the phone dialer and with switching to certain programs they return to portrait view even if this program is enabled for rotation by above software.
If i can do what i mentioned above it will be great hack that will resolve many problems

where r the developers

Don´t need a developer for that, a simple search might have yielded the results you are looking for....
Get a registry editor, then change HKLM>System>GDI>Rotation>HideOreintaionUI from 1 to 0. Now you can assign the left hardware key long press action (under Settings>Buttons) to rotate your screen.

even that doesn't prevent the phone from switching to portrait view specially with the phone dialler

As far as I know, Gyrator2 is currently the best option out there. It doesnt work perfectly in the TF3D interface tabs, but everywhere else, it works pretty well.
Hopefully a better solution will come out soon, cause I agree, this thing should work like an iphone in switching between portrait/landscape modes.

honestly, im using g config and g list and dont have any problems out of it...the only thing i dont like about it is that when im making a phone call itll switch to landscape mode when i put it to my ear bc i never hold the phone str8 up and down...how do i disable it from switching from portrait to landscape while n the dialer screens....other than that, no problems this way...please explain ur problem more in depth and hopefully i can help
hopefully someone can help me with my question tho about how to disable g config and g list from swtiching while the phone dialer screens are opened (during a call mainly)...thanks n adavance

by using registry editor delete "Dialog" string from
HKCU-->Software-->HTC-->HTCSENSOR-->GSensor-->WhiteList
the problem that the "dailog" string is responsible for rotation of other programs than the phone dialer for example u will discover that the favorite page of Opera browser will rotate no more after deleting this string.(and many other things that share this string)

there is another idea but i don't know how to do it through the registry?
By changing the horizontal rotation angle threshold to a minimal angle so you have to put your phone nearly horizontal to obtain landscape view.

this would be a great idea and if someone could figure that out and make a cab that would be great...a cab that makes it to where u have to have the phone "horizontal" (or nearly that so theres not as noticable of a lag) would be great because thats the only time i need the landscape is when im holding it horizontally...can someone PLEASE help????

Where are the EXPERTS

Gyrator2 can be configured to not switch while making a phone call. My problem is that I couldn't figure out how to get it not to switch in the lock screen. I'm sure that with enough help from the Gyrator experts I could have completely configured Gyrator to work the way I wanted it. Even if Gyrator had worked the way that I wanted it to, there were still issues with returning to portrait view even if I had the phone in landscape. But I believe that this is a known issue with Gyrator and touchflo 3D. But since I have the Tilt2, the easiest solution for me was mapping the PTT button to rotate my screen. At this point in time I don't think there is a perfect bug free solution and there might not be until HTC decides to implement that functionality.

very easy : run Gyrator menu-->events-->add new event-->choose Orientation-->Edit Event-->(name it as u want)choose Application-->choose >Learn Widow Class-->click on task bar (Modify Event) to get out from Gyrator(but the program still running)-->lock ur screen-->withdraw ur stylus then reinsert it-->the Gyrator come back with ConfettiLockScreen in the application name (u can simply add it as new application for gyrator without doing previous steps.
Don't forget to make Orientation--> Portrait (only)
& Actions-->Rotate screen.
don't forget to promote it to become above rotate line.

WHERE ARE THE GENIUSES

[Q] How do I disable auto-orientation wallpaper?

I mean, I understand why the background auto-rotate when we tilt the phone. When accelerometer detect the phone tilt, the screen tilt and the background tilt w/ it. And that's kinda make sense. But, the problem is when you have a tight crop person as a background, and set the background to be non-scrolling. Then I think it's obvious that the background want to be set static in a certain way. Currently I have not found a way to lock the background wallpaper. I mean as I rotate the screen I want everything else to rotate and get landscape/portrait UI as necessary, but the background remain the same whether portrait or landscape. Well, I have yet to found a way. The only thing I came across is to disable accelerometer, but that's not very a solution. Anyone know how to do this?
Thank you,

The only thing I can think of is to find an app on the market that will manage your wallpapers for you. I know they have apps that will set a seperate wallpaper for each homescreen, so maybe there's one that allows seperate wallpapers for both portrait and landscape.
As far as finding a checkbox in Android to do this, there isn't one.

[Q] How to turn off background rotation?

Hi everyone,
Could anyone tell me how i can disable background rotation on my Galaxy Tab S 10.5? I want my background to be fixed even the rotation is on.
Cheers.

Search in the play store for screen rotation apps. Some let you only rotate a certain app and rotate every other apps. I use an app called rotate to force a certain app to be rotated in a direction without messing up the other apps. But its only a trial and you would have to buy it after a week.

I think op wants his wallpaper to not rotate

I need (want) that too. Been searching for an app or live wallpaper but didn't find anything.....

Exactly what i want. If i use different wallpaper other than stock then it keeps rotate. I would like to turn that off if that's possible. Went through the whole settings but didn't find anything. Btw the apps rotation is good.
Cheers.
