Please Help TP2 g sensor rotation not working - Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General

Ok first off searched for a day or two and i could not find anything to help the problem that i have with my new tilt2. Its driving me crazy! i went from a touch pro(att fuze) to a tp2(att tilt 2) and the tp2 screen only goes to landscape when the keyboard goes out period, no landscape in photo or any thing tf3d at all. i installed gyrator and that works great in windows programs but not tf3d. Am i the only one who is having this problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks

I believe Gyrator doesn't work with TF3D. Try installing changescreen, enabling it (it's not enabled by default) and deleting "manila" as an exception on the exceptions tab. Save your configuration and you're good to go.

add these to your registry:
hkcu\software\htc\htcsensor\gsensor\modulename\
create a string named Manila with a value of \Windows\manila.exe
and
hkcu\software\htc\htcsensor\gsensor\whitelist\
creat a string named Manila with a value of Manila

great thanks alot for the help & i really appreciate it a bunch but but is there any way you can you Dumb it down a little bit for me? Please thanks hahahah

Uninstall gyrator.
Download this program:

Run the configuration program for it. Go to the exceptions page and select the options you want for Manilla. Save the settings. Soft reset.

Here install this ..

You should try alinging the screen first. Had the same prob . Did what Jack said to the reg to no avail. Then I remembered my 3 yr old jacked my tp2. He pressed his way to the align screen tab. I jus ok'ed out, never finishing the alingment. Then the screen stopped auto rotating. I jus alinged the screen and presto, the tf3d Today screen auto rotated by its self. So try it.

It was Jack's reg hack that made my today screen auto aling again and not the align screen utility. Sorry for waisting space.

Do images rotate on turning the device without opening the keyboard?

Do images rotate on turning the device without opening the keyboard? like on HD or Diamond? Because in my TP2, images do not rotate on turning the device as it is supposed to due to g-sensor .... isn't it? Does it have to be activated somehow or is it not possible in TP2 ... which will be strange.

by default rotation with gyro does not work on Rhodium.
You can use gyrator2 if you wish to enable this functionality.
Cheers,

I have the same problem. Screen rotates in opera, but not in Album.
same here, and gyrator is not the perfectly program for this... its slow, and it isn't integrated with WM after install. its just a stand-alone app what runs as the same way as other programs (you can also close it by taskmanager).
Also taksmanager doenst close programs by clicking [X] ?? (even when i select it)...
Attached regisry that will enable a lot of programs in G-sensor.
You also can edit by notepad to remove program that you are not like.
Well found! Very Handy
Thanks

I understand this works great. few questions:
Doesn't it slow the device?
What programs do you suggest to be rotating without the screen sliding out and what programs do you think shouldn't flip to landscape because it gets annoying?

The same question could be applied to many things HTC have done with the Rom on the Rhodium.
At the end of the day, do what we do best here, add the functionality that you want, then fix any problems that occur afterwards.
I haven't noticed any adverse affects using gyrator, as yet anyway.

how do you add this file to the reg for us newbs please
thanks for any help
Doesn't it automatically display the picture at the maximum size? Meaning if it is a landscape picture it displays it in landscape and if it is a portrait picture it displays it in portrait? I actually prefer the way it is done in the new album which I am running on my FUZE.

Could someone help me out with the TomTom reg key? I get the modulename bit right, just point it to tomtomnavigator.exe. Don't really understand the whitelist key. What should the value be for Tomtom?
Thanks.
EDIT: Just found it in the topaz section. For anyone wlse who needs to know, it is "MunichWinClass" for some reason. Thanks to infoman68 for that.
Awsome thread I downloaded and installed the gyrator2, but I cannot figure out what plugin/program to grab from microsoft to install that dotnet 3.5 on the phone to get gyrator to work. can someone please point me to the correct file?
thanks.
to anyone else wishing to add an app to HTCs GSensor list in the reg and not knowing the window title or class...
download Gyrator2, install and run. Add a new event. Choose learn. Take stylus out. Make active the window you need the name of. Insert stylus. There! Gyrator has just told ya what ya need to know... Uninstall gyrator and add what it told ya to the reg...
nice post dude...
i am still trying to get the gyrator to work on my pro2.
did you also have issues with the dotnet thing?
Hello, brilliant suggestion from bigjezza. Myself I'm trying to get Microsoft Reader to react to my phone's gyrations. However when I bring up Gyrator 2 the MS Reader app is not listed. Actually it never came up in my program-list in the first place even though it did install and runs perfectly. Had to stick a shortcut in the Windows/Start-menu.
Any suggestion on how to get MsReader onto Garator's list, or does anyone know what the relevant data is for MsReader just like that?
Many thanks/McHan

The Opera browser does it automatically. For everything else, practically every TP2 owner has installed 'Gyrator 2' or 'screenChanger' (my favourite), which are free apps utilising the G-Sensor. They run pretty much silently and allow you to configure which programs you want to rotate etc.
Get the TP2 - You know you want to.
Yes. But only by sliding out the keyboard. You can use the G sensor, but then you have to adjust the registry.
Theres a reg hack to enable the change orientation function to be shown in the screen to change button assignments. So you can set when you hold down the send button it changes to landscape mode. And you don't have to pull out the keyboard!
I can't remember what it was mind.. but it's on these forums somewhere.
thank you all.
thank you brynweb for those programs.
thank you quarintus.
andrewrees: if you remember the post, please tell me.
thanks a lot
i have tried Gyrator, and the problem i´ve seen is that the program must be running if you want to rotate screen.
correct or im wrong?
you dont need to use any program
there is a reg hack on here to allow it to tilt auto in things like calender etc etc

I did the reg that doesnt need any program running and it works great. With a bit of modding I got it to do TomTom, too.
TomTom on PDA is OK, but it still doesnt have text to speach for spoken street names.

changeScreen does a better job of hiding itself than Gyrator. One day I'll use the reg hack, but I'm still in the tinkering stage where I can't make up my mind about what programs I want to rotate, so it's easier for me to use the program option right now.

That is correct. However, mine starts itself at startup and you can tell it to minimise when it starts, so you don't need to worry about starting it up all the time. It also doesn't use much memory, so you don't need to worry about that either.

Enable HTC application launcher

Hi all!
I've installed a new skin to my TP2 (that was a big fault) everything was going wrong..
All buttons are completley white, horrible loading animation, etc, etc.
Now I have restored nearly everything. The only problem is that my startmenu is now as the old windows mobile drop-down menu. I want to have my HTC application launcher back. I think that it is a simple register setting...
I've searched here but cannot found a solution.
Can anybody help me with this problem/setting?
Thanks is advance and sorry for my poor English!

Check out the sticky. The registry edit is there.

Since you messed it up so bad, it may be a better idea to backup your data and do a hard reset.

Good idea, but everything else is working right now, and i was hoping to wait until the wm6.5 version is ut (official) so I can use the installation time for that moment...
Can you help me with a register file from the malia settings? (or do you have other good idea's?
I think that the problem is simple --> I've installed a verry ugly skin. I was trying to remove it but Wimo give me everytime a error (failed to remove....)
So I've uninstalled it with SkTools, but I think that it has not restored the previous settings, but that it hase removed all the register values from the skin file...
Thanks again for all helping people!

there is a registry key that changes the start button and start soft button (top left) from opening the quick programs (manila shell) to the drop down menu (windows mobile default). can be found here:
HKLM\Software\EnlargeMenu
"EnableManilaStartMenu"
Change 0 to 1.
Hope that works. this is how I changed my quick programs to drop down menu (I prefer the drop down menu better).

Thanks for the replay,
I have searched for that register value, but cannot find it.
So I have restored some parts of the register (after a backup) in the HCT/Malia map and the HTC EnlargeMenu (In local machine and Current user). but still not working. it is already a '1' in there.
So my (simple?) conclusion is that there is a deeper problem.
Still missing other register values, or missing files that have to be somewhere to run that program menu...
Anybody else a good idea?
Thanks for al your good idea's and help!
I'm using the device at my work (medical information/patiënt information) so it's nice if I could save the installation and wait until the 6.5 update will come out!

Update: Just did a hard reset to my device. Hoping that that will help fixing the problem. the device was after al these problem verry slow too...

hehe. I've hard reseted my phone at least 10 times since the last week I've had this phone. it's the only way to test out apps to find the right one that works for you. I do installs and uninstalls. eventually I will find an app that [email protected]#$ up my phone, or that works really well. this will be an on going process for at least 3 months until I find what to settle with. It was like that with my Mogul, and it will be like that even more so with the TP2 because it's such an awesome upgrade.

[TWEAK] make your unlock-slider response immediately

Some of you guys might share one issue that I have with my blackstone device:
when waking up the phone, the unlock-slider remains unresponsive for two or so seconds. Thanks to edwardandtubs this has been resolved now. There's a simple registry value that needs to be changed in order to make the unlock-slider response immediately after waking up the device.
That key is:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\KEYBD]"FirstCalibration"
Change the value from "1" to "0", softreset and you're done. Or download the cab I made, install it and softreset your device. It will change the registry entry for you.
According to edwardandtubs it's best to softreset the device by using the stylus and the softreset button on the back of the blackstone rather than softresetting it via software..
Can confirm this works with EnergyROM 23569 Sense 2.5 May 16th Co0kie's Home Tab
Thanks dkp1977
hi,
i have hd with 6.1 stock rom ...
i have battle ,when i make a phone call ,to unlock it.
the lock icon , remained unresponsive and i had to keep on pressing..icon.. two or three times to get response...!
( problem is ...my phone is set by me, to turn off screen ..also i have a tweak ..to lock screen on top of that )
with this reg . tweak ,i hardly touch icon and it unlocks ..!!!!!
no delay ...
working really smooth ,
thank you for sharing
willcor
Amazing stuff, this has been a niggly bug for ages. Many thanks
further to my above post,
i have also notice .......
when i " wake " phone from sleep and unlock it ..
there is... no lag on the homescreen and homescreen response, is immediately and very smooth .......!!!
this reg. tweak should also be in the
xda wiki - hd
" tweaks ,tricks and tips for your blackstone...!!" section.
thank you ..again
willcor
The guys who came up with that reg tweak deserve your props, mates. I just made an installable cab.
Just need a slider tweak that works nice and fast for htc sense on the blackstone, that can lag big time at times
This is what I've been looking for. Awesome. I'm gonna test it right now.
Must admit, I thought I thought it was just my HD being bloody slow off the mark.
But just installed, and that's sooo much better
Much thanks for this little one
cab is not working for me, using Energy.BLACKSTONE.23569.Sense2.5.Cookie.Jun.06.Release2. Tried again after hard reset, same result.
but the manual way, i.e. changing the reg in regeditor works. anyway, thank you! credits to you for sharing and to the one who performed the magic

whats going on here

Hi all,
please excuse the vagueness of this post.
I have just been given a tp2 as a replacement to my td2
My wife also has the tp2 which she got a year ago
the whole look of the phone (software ) is totally diferent
for instance the program page used to list a few progs (your choice) and then you had to hit all progs to get them up.
i am guessing that its a different rom or different version of sense?
also how do i change/edit/remove some programs from the list?
cheers guys
you'll need a registry editor to get the job done here, you can find that in the Theme's and apps section, i'll be back with a link, but you have to navigate to --
HKLM\Software\HTC\EnlargeMenu
and where you see
EnableManilaStartMenu = 1
change the one to a zero and restart the phone, should work.
thanks for that
sorry to be thick but does that just enable me to move the prog icons or delete the progs as well
appreciate the help

You don't need to edit the registry to turn off Manila. This is easily done from the Today settings.

Different issues, my friend. Sense is the UI (aka Manila versions 2.1 and 2.5) you see when you start the phone. It is on by default, but you can turn it off in the Today setup and use the much less memory intensive standard Window Mobile screen. Go into the Today setup and turn off Sense by removing the check mark in the list and putting a check mark on Windows Default.
As for the bloatware that comes with the phone, anything on the ROM can not be removed except by flashing a new ROM. You can delete shortcuts from your start menu for programs you don't/won't use, but the programs will still be there. Do a search for Crud Scraper, a neat little tool that can 'remove' stuff from specific phone models (it worked great on my Tilt 2). Beyond that, read up as much as you can on modding your phone. This place is a great resource. Unfortunately, easy answers are hard to come by. You have to roll up your sleeves and get a little dirty.
