I don't know if this is broadly known, but i just discovered it...
i was running a landscape application (fyi: Tiki Towers), when my alert rang. i got a landscape notification, and punched "dismiss". my desire went back to homescreen, but this time landscape
That given, i'd like to see a landscape capable version of sense running on Froyo!
maybe even a landscape scene that's activated by tilting the phone. (i was thinking "contact flow" like the cover flow on the ipod).
Who's with me on that?
PS: excuse my english, my teachers sucked, got it all from english tv xD
I can confirm this happens very rarely. Permanent landscape sense would be awesome.
Also, your English is just fine, nothing wrong with it =)
+1 to this idea! someone should ask one of the devs about it as they know the inner workings of the roms, they should know what the possibility of this happening is i can remember in early hero rom development, files were found that indIcated that htc where working on a landscape rosie. ppl assumed that this was going to be made for wvga devices like ours
It happened to me once, but things didn't all work right.

I really do appreciate the efforts of all those people working hard to make our Diamonds better. Here I'd like to post a list of things we could suggest to them. Even if we don't know anything about rom cooking or progamming, we could post our hopes and maybe chefs could get good ideas for their future works.
My personal wishlist is
- using touch-sensing ring for up/down/left/right moves
- tilting left/right to switch Touch Flo 3D tabs and for back/forward in Opera browser
- haptic feedback when using virtual keyboards
- adjustable keypad light timeout
ps sorry for bad english
It would be fine if someone figures out the problem with the static navigation mode
of the GPS chipset! Before the Diamond I owned a Trinity, which had also an Qualcom chipset, but worked rather perfect without any noticable lag...
I've tried almost every well known navigation programs, but they all lag like hell.
Reception although is very impressive, I always get a fix in a few seconds!

you really want your TF3D to switch tabs every time you accidentally move your hand? i can't imagine anything more annoying.. haha
Think one of the most important is getting a 'today agenda' underneath the TFLO3D homescreen ...
So when swiping the clock upwards, a very rich agenda can be seen.
And changing/removing/reordering TFLO3D tabs
Put HOME in the middle
I think what massimax asked for is really great, these are the thing we need. Chefs seriously try to do these please.

I second that. It'd really be wonderful if somebody could figure it out, the lags
+ 1
also, on my old E6, i was able to hold the answer key to enable max brightness...
and hold it again to return it to original
is there any way i can do this, is there a program for keymapping for this or will this need to be put into the rom
the reason i ask for this option is that max brightness makes sunlight legibility much better...
Why not make your own rom with these things done. It's a bit much just making a thread of requests, the cooks are all normal guys with jobs and families or whatever like the rest of us, they work out fixes and make ROM's faster, but making a list of things for cooks to do isn't right in my opinion.

I guess a real user friendly ROM kitchen would make so much more possible from the people on these forums. At this moment many are still trying to figure out just how to cook your own ROM...
Now this is a new issue...Once started, on portrait mode, the slingplayer screen takes half the screnn of the HD.Also it is impossible to change channels as the buttons seem pressed there.
On Landscape mode the screen is filled up almost to the 90% capacity of the HD , thus making it very very comfortable to watch.
Does anyone have any idea how to fix the portrait mode???
Thanks
slingplayer impossible to use (touchscreen version)
has anyone managed to get slingplayer mobile working well on Touch HD? The buttons are impossible to use for the remote very small and not mapped correctly, also the full screen is not the whole screen only part of it.. anyone got any tips? I searched but noone seems to have solved this?
Hope it's sorted soon, asked the wife for a Slingbox for xmas :/

its just about usable although slow to use the menus for remote control functions but the streaming and PQ are excellent so its worth having!
I have it working.
I cannot however hand out the version I am using.
So, please wait. a version that does work perfectly with HD is on its way. I can also state SlingMobile version coming out soon works perfectly on Omnia and on the X1.
Sorry I can't hand this out, and please do not ask, as refusal may offend.
Ah... wonderful news indeed as this is one of my favorite apps.
awesome, figured out I can get the current version usable with Sky plus by using the favourites buttons to set the most common remote control functions but it would be good to have a version that works with WVGA properly!! Any idea on timelines for the newer version?
Any News?
Supporters Needed to help make this possible http://sling.uservoice.com/pages/18...s/169625-more-finger-friendly-on-wm?ref=title
There are a few more there to relating to WM and HD.
MOD EDIT
Moved to Themes, Applications and Software forum
Iv done my best to search for this but only get bogged down by dozens of other posts.
In short will Manilla ever be updated to work for the landscape mode? Or is hacking it to be as wide as possible the best we can hope for? Only reason being i adore my phone, but god forbid someone opens it up on anything other then opera/music.
Cheers guys
anybody at all?
I'm thinking until HTC comes out with a HD2 variant with a hardware keyboard, we won't have TF3D 2.5 landscape working properly.
But consider this: It's a miracle that the developers here ported it to our device in the first place..
Thank you for your reply & I couldnt agree more!
Just saw this and fell in love.
They say it's to rid the world of the concept of a main menu, but in my opinion it is a main menu. and one of the sexiest one's at that.
It's single colour gradients and flow is everything i like in an interface, while others put more colours and ever more elaborate icons in gridformations, this one is so much more beautyfull for it's simplicity.
http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/24/emblazes-first-else-unveiled-in-london-promises-to-be-a-game-c/
http://www.firstelse.com/
Now my question is:
Is there any posible way to simulate this menu on WM? i'm using pointui on both my Omnia and X1 and it is for me the best ui.
But i've also tried the demo of Silvermoon, and my phone definately has the potential for graphics like "Else".
Or am i too late with this post already?
Is there already something lige this for WM phones?
It probably can be re-created in flash, but I wouldnt use it myself... no icons, not easy to understand, you'd have to be able to read letters rotated in different agles...
Dont get me wrong, its fresh and has some eye-candy but on the long run I dont see the potencial in it.
:/
I really like the whole UI - not just the fan menu.
Also I like that 'caller will be asked to press * if urgent or # to hang up'.
Looks like some really good features. Doubt we will get anything that looks that good throughout on WM though
Hi,
I want to point out, this small (cab) found a rom for HD2 Laurentius26 (Thanks) link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044596, running on a HD MINI. It allows automatic rotation (landscape). I did tests on the main features of HD MINI, from start menu seems to work well. Obviously does not work perfect on home screen and dialer. is useful to me for example, in the Remove Programs screen.....
As Laurentius26 realized, would be nice to create for HD MINI, a dialer (phone keypad) to insert into a rom cooked .... combined with the cab autorotate.
hi, does it work in the sense? i mean for example in the music tab..does it rotate into landscape same as on hd2?
hi, I tried it now because I did not know if it worked, because I do not use Music tab.
It 'clear that they can not run those programs, which have no skin in the landscape. The CAB autorotate changes the (log system) on the instructions MANILA. I think! but inside 56KB adds nothing !!!!!
In fact, I think, Laurentius26 on ROM FOR HD2 added skins to PHONE DIALER to operate in landscape.
As I have said does not work with all programs in rom: dialer (phone keypad), etc. HOME SCREEN. . MUSIC TAB LANDASCAPE in fact it does not work with BSB Tweaks !!!!!
Do not be hard for something that is given for FREE!
First of all there are already a few threads which specifically discuss about this matter with different apps (Probably around 3).
As mentioned above, the problem does not lies on the AutoRotate app but Manilla itself so unless someone is willing to create HVGA landscape Manilla skin there wont be any landscape Manilla view for our HD Mini.
Considering the low activity of HVGA skin and app development, the chance is slim ....
In fact it is so Ahinigami. I cooked a Rom for hd mini. I'm looking at this work, an application that allows autorotate COMPLETE, to be included in ROM.
(As I said above) I opened this thread with the hope, too, that someone could make a skin for HD MINI laurentis26 as it did, at least for the telephone keypad.
But here it seems only .......... : download and install!
Update
And in fact sometimes life rewards bold .......
I was reminded that long ago I published a thread (TUTORIAL MOBILE MAGIC).
From that folder (attached to the thread) I managed to build a (cab package) and fully functional. I think I continue on this road ....
telephone keypad, is it the usual dialer we're using "cprog"?
If yes, it does support landscape mode ....
I just downloaded the dialer to pack kitchens.
then placed on ROM to HD2. but I just did download.
in the little free time I'm looking for a good rom to join HD mini. Now I'm considering O2_uk
anyway .... and now that I think I can do now a (cab package), if I can send you a private pm
UPDATE:
I understood the potential of HD MINI. I spent a little time,
and I made a special cab for PHOTON. is the dialer pad (telephone keypad) that I said above.
From the first test seems to work fine (I used MOBILE MAGIC) is enclosed SCREENSHOT 2/ 3 / 4. Thanks to Ahinigami to the stimulus.
removed in error
Hi.
Thanks for Auto-rotate
If you create a cab , please upload it ...
If you're planning to cook AutoRotate app into your rom, I suggest using simpler and smaller app specifically just for this purpose.
I've tried the cab you attached in the first post and it was quite buggy (Sense tab is not functioning properly such as alignment) and without any blacklist/whitelist feature.
On the other hand Mobile Magic (Beta) is a rich feature app but comes with larger footprint.
If you've the time, pls do try out ChangeScreen. It has a simple and easy to use interface and smaller footprint.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Btw, if you're planning to include AutoRotate app into your Rom, do you plan to allow just a few selected app such as Shell32 (Start Menu), dialer, and Sense (When possible)?
Some programs are not rotate friendly and will stop working properly once rotated so you should take this into account too.
Hi Ahinigami ,
ChangeScreen I tested (I did not know) but absolutely bad (on my rom). It should immediately crash and lock system. I could not even evaluate the memory usage when this program is resident in memory.
However, I'm working on another program, and I am considering just the memory used, depending on the version used the same program. In fact, the features that I want to achieve are: the fluidity of the graphics, speed, low memory but also the workers!
For the delay on the dialer cab I apologize! Patience!
But I do not eat with it! I do this for a hobby ...... but I also have my job!
For tonight than upload a new thread in the dialer pad and the cab to rotate + tutorial. Afternoon do the last test and upload!!!
I see, take your time .... Having a new developer for HD Mini is a good news itself for me.
There is nothing I can do for you but I could at least help you to try out your new app and rom when released.
Ahinigami Thanks!
is a pleasure for me to be of help! Experience together!

I hope good news .... for you ..... for you all.
Hola, great work you´re doing here
I´ve been comparing the Mini and the HD2 for a while now, and even though I´ve also achieved to rotate (force rotation) Manila/Sense, it´s not ported to landscape yet (7c60907d_manila, 22e41977_manila, 14394200_manila) and has never been. The fact is that we should have to decompile and mode some of the manila core files for it, assigning in those files the corresponding positions for the elements...
Now, if all you want to do is to be able to rotate everything else, that´s easier since a few reg entries will do that for quite some apps (see L26 rotation cab) OR by using a very simple and powerfull app like xHook or xtask. I use it on both my Mini and HD2 (yep, with Laurentius beta ROMs) and I can rotate "on demand" everything (except sense) by simply assigning the winflag softkey to the rotation of 270 degrees within xtask
Hi BHS_ Interceptor,
Thank you very much.
You gave some very interesting news!
I think it is the right way, ......
In fact that's what I'm trying to implement. From your suggestions, I will try to work .... because I want to get the final result that you wrote above. Well.

Hola Oregon, glad my post was useful. If there is anything else I can do, just let me know.
Btw, if you simply use the reg keys and also enable autorotate, the behaviour on the Mini will not suffer except on Sense. You would have to add a lot of exe´s to the white list and after installing new apps, some of this would have/need to be added as weel. Using xTask/xHook, you don´t have to worry about white list nor anything else, even about registry, since it rotates on demand what ever and when ever you press the set Key. You can also assign another key for it, but I like the win flag since we already have another one right below the softkey. If you replace the winfla icon with a "rotate" icon" then all looks perfect as well
Btw, on my HD2 (I´m also a member in Laurentius Platinum Beta team) I have assigned the button through the "build in" taskmanager Leo is using for the ROM...
