Turn off auto rotate and other manila v3 changes

Hey all. I've done a few searchs and read through a bunch of ROM threads (god, the dutty ones are full of stupid posts by stupid people), but haven't found any real answers.
How do we disable auto rotate / landscape mode in the new v3 Manila?
Is there any way of getting back the old notifications functionality where you click any of the icons along the top, and it brings up a screen with bigger icons for Notifications/Sound/Connections.
Use the old pop up menus? I am aware there's a tweak to make the 8 item menu into a 10 item. Can that hack be extended to 15 items?

If you use Dutty Extreme, then you had to enable the landscape rotate in the first place! In which case, to turn it off you just uninstall the "Dutty Enable Landscape" cab from "remove programs"

Nope, which is a real shame because the new notifications screen is USELESS! the "new text" is not the only thing that's useful to see! You can, however, disable the new notifications menu by going to the Task Manager (built into Duttys Extreme - sorry I can't help with where in the start menu it is because I've moved everything around to my own taste!) then go to Services and change the Notifications thingy to be "manual"

The thread that tells you how to get to 10 items actually meantions that these settings were just how that person had arrived at something that used the whole screen height perfectly. He explained which values change what and you should be able to adapt that to get whatever height of menu you want!
Hope that helps!

I'm using a different ROM now. I'm using the Lite one to try the speeds and the auto landscape is already cooked in. I was reading Dutty's because his ROM was the first to have it. I searched the thread where I got my ROM, but no one seems to dislike the auto rotate *shrug*. I don't mind it except in bed when I'm on my side.

Ok, I guess I'll modify the registry. Was hoping to disable it altogether as I don't find it all that pretty and it's simply bloat. On many apps, the new menus don't fit the theme at all.
Thanks for your helpful suggestions!

In that case, I suggest using AE Button to map one of the volume buttons to "rotate screen", then you can over-ride the auto-rotate on a case by case basis by rotating the screen manually. I've got it set to long press of volume up and down for rotating each way, so if something gets stuck, or as you say I'm lying down, then I can over-ride whichever way I want.

I've tried disabling the auto rotate for all programs, and while it works, it interferes with some other rotation programs. I use kaisoft's screen rotate, and when i rotate something, the orientation gets forced back to portrait a few seconds later.
I've gone back to Dutty's 1.7 ROM as it suits my needs better. I'm finding auto rotation with the new manila has not improved any more since the old gsen/gyrator days when people had tonnes of problems. It's still a hassle controlling what you want rotated.
Thanks

try this which i found somewhere in dutty's thread:
HKCU\Software\HTC\HTCSENSOR\GSensor
Change the autorotation key to 0
this is the only thing changed, i've not tried the above reg.
it stopped the auto-rotation for me and also solved the photo orientation bug while in camera
opera will still rotate

it works!

Yes, this way works. It stop Manila auto-rotation, but it also effects the orthers software.

[Theme] [PocketCM Keyboard] v1.11 [3/16/2009]

A PocketCM Keyboard .23+ WVGA theme I made for the large of finger so you can worry just about what you want to say instead of trying to spend all your time pecking at each key and getting it right.
Features:
Virtual D-Pad
Long press on any letter to get uppercase.
Long press on almost any key for quick access to similar symbols.
Shift button is caps lock.
I made every key as large (tall (with big layout and wide)) as possible.
Has larger room for correction / allowed mistakes than standard keyboard to allow for less pickiness on large screen (WVGA).
Landscape finally works.
English qwerty.
Optimized as much as possible (including all images) for speed and size of theme.
Hold "!" for "!! "
Hold "?" for "?? "
Hold "," for ".com"
Hold "$" for "€"
Only bugs / quirks I'm currently aware of:
Not sure of what the height for landscape should be. (If you are using a full screen app (such as PocketCM) the current height is great, otherwise..it takes up pretty much the whole screen. Easy to change. Go to settings.ini, and change the last value from 27p to something more like 23p.)
Correction currently will not go through when any symbol is entered. Suggestion will go through only when the following are pressed immediately after a word is entered
space
!
@
Based off Tene's dream theme, so looks are the same.
Credits to of course tene and and also zard for assistance with the virtual keys.
Credits also to MrHawaii of PPCGeeks for a few ideas.
UPDATE 3/16/2009 V1.11
Started over from scratch.
Removed "Hold space bar for ". " (period and double space)." temporarily until I hear further from Tene on how to make it work more correctly.
Made suggestion 19% more forgiving, allowing for 19% further displacement from correct key. Think that is the farthest I will go, though I can bump it up if requested.
Suggestion will currently (until I hear from tene on how to fix it) only go through on the following
space
!
@
UPDATE 3/11/2009 V1.1
Added:
Hold comma key for ".com"
Auto - double space inserted when period, exclamation mark, or question mark pressed.
Hold space bar for ". " (period and double space).
Fixed:
Correction now goes through even on ?!.,
(Isn't actually as blurry as it looks on the thumbnail)
PCMK can be found at pocketcm.com

Updated. Small fixes and enhancements. See OP.

Thanks!
Use it on my Touch HD and its working fine!

That really all the information you're gonna give?
Lets have some details
What your default language is, what your screens resolution is (I'm not familiar enough w/ the omnia), what options you have selected in pcmk, a screenshot of the problem, what version of pcmk you are using, etc..

actually the more I look at it Im going to guess it cant be moved as its stuck to the top of the text window.. would the adjustment of the last value in the setting.ini you mentioned above help this?

Yep that's what's going to do it for you is just the height. I have it set for my device right now. The text box can't be moved / resized (except by tene), but if you lower the height of the whole keyboard then you should be good, I would recommend 24 or so.

Shift Key Graphics
Thanks .. this is a great theme!!
I see Shift key and up arrow key similar.. I just wanted to change shift key graphic to display "Sft" words in Image. I replaced shift.png in zip folder but it didnt work. How can I do this?

Message removed - posted in wrong thread.

Hi Jim,
Thanks for such a great theme! It's by far my favorite.
I was just wondering if you have released a new version of it since V1.11?
I'm not sure if I've found a bug, but, I've noticed that when I use any kind of punctuation (period, question mark, etc) it seems to be added to the beginning of the last word entered. For example instead of "I am home now.", I get "I am home .now". Is this behavior by design, or am I doing something wrong?
Thanks!

ima noob. how do you get your skin to take affect?

Just copy the zip file into the PCM Keyboard folder in Program Files, then in PCM k\'s option choose my theme and then the suitable layout.

Flip It

Is there any cab file for this application?
Thanks!

Have u tried "ChangeScreen"?
Works great on Diamond.

I've tried changescreen, but i found that the exception program function sometimes not work...

Go to dutty site there is one.

You can download the package posted by Luxatr in Program COLLECTION for Blackstone.
Somewhere in the package you'll find a .cab for FlipIt.
Grtz,

Where can I find some instructions on how to set up Flip It? I like it, but would only want it working in a couple of apps... it can be annoying how slight movements make it spin the screen round all the time.

I agree..wot i dislike it's the sensibility of flipit. in example...it's totally impossible to drive with my tomtom in landscape e flipit on, the programm goes in landscape and portrait continuosly..very ****ting. I would know if i can set up a 2 second delay in flipit.

First off, huge LOL at '..very ****ting'
But yeah, I agree. I turn it off right away as it is far to sensitive. For example, when holding my HD reasonably flat, I don't want it to rotate at all... only when I'm holing it upright, once I lay it flat, it should stay in whatever I have it in... portrait or landscape.

I find it can get confused and mix portrait and landscape elements together and you have to wait more than a few seconds for it to sort itself out, this is a real pain, I can't see how anybody finds this useful

Right - I'm getting to grips with Flip IT and setting exceptions for programs that I dont want to flip and mostly having success... however... I can't for the life of me work out how to stop the phone dialer & call history (amongst others) to stop flippin flipping!
Where I have to enter a "class name or window text" I have put "phone" as this is the "window text" but this has no effect.. I have searched using Total Commander for an executable but cant find anything. Have seached and googled with no joy... Any suggestions welcome!!

Since I'm using Dutty's ROM (2.5), I'm trying to set up FlipIt according to my wishes... I want Manilla to rotate (works fine), but when the screen is locked (using the standard lock), I want the orientation to allow 0 degrees only. Which application should I add to the list to do this?
(by the way, I've set the default orientation to 0 degrees only, and Manilla to 0, 90 and 270 degrees. Now, when I apply the screen lock, the screen remains in the orientation it is in (being either 0, 90 or 270), but I want it to return to 0 degrees under lock)

flipit doesn't work
i installed flipit on the french custom rom but it doesn't work. please help

Flip IT is in settings> system.
Open Flip IT and there is a box to "Enable GSensor"... tick this. Then you can choose to have all applications enabled by using the global function or set specific rotation angles for specific applications.
Good luck!

it's installed in the devise, enable Gsensor is cheked, a soft reset is done after install, cheked the app to rotate, redo a soft reset ..... but always not working
only the normal rotation in photo album and opera is working
EDIT: my flip it is in programmes not in settings

Help for autolock

Hi all, I have a very easy problem, but i can't solve it ..
I need to block my PDA beacuse every time that a textmessage comes, ( and i have got it in my pocket) a lot of programs open accidentally.
How i can block my blackstone, when i switch off the monitor ? Does exist a program for me ?
Thanks Bye

I use AutoLock. It is great.

i have just installed it .. but i cant find it anywhere ..
does it works for win 6.5 ?

Yes, it is for 6.5. Go to Settings\System and you should see an icon for Smart Lock. Select (in addition to the one already ticked) to Lock on Suspend.

In addition I also apply the following tweaks to AutoLock
- a nice skin I use the Dusk skin
- I also apply the HeartofWolf delay fix (this moves the slide to the bottom of the screen and does fix the delay problem to a large extent.)

thanks guys !!

Thanks, I also came across that last night after this post and can confirm that it works even better than the HeartofWolf fix. The only issue I suppose is that one needs to remember to redo the fix each time one aligns the screen.

sorry but i have another little problem.. For example, when i'm using the tom tom navigator after 1 minute the screen goes black and "autolock" starts running.. Is there a solution to prevent this ?
Thanks in advance..

What settings have you chosen for lock? If set to Dim Lock, it will lock each time the screen dims. You will need to choose Suspend lock. You can also check the timing of your screen dims and suspend in Settings\System\Power\Advanced

To have bigger icons, unzip the attached files (gfx folder) to your s2u2 directory. It is not my work. I get it from xda, but i can't find the post anymore
For double lock issues, set "Replace WM6.5 system manual lock" to yes in settings, soft reset then launch s2u2. It should block the windows lock screen.
Hope it helps, I do not use s2u2 anymore. I have switched to cht lockscreen
