Auto Rotate HTC Touch HD Screen

I have found an application that automatically rotates the HTC touch HD screen. Works 100% perfect.

I'll try this.Thanks in advance!!!!!!

gsen is an old application already tested many times here!
Conclusion is: the best rotate screen was manually rotate with "press and hold call button"!
BTW, you can found gsen latest version here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=403939

HKLM\System\GDI\Rotation\HideOrientationUI and change the value to 0. No soft reset required. Just go to Settings - Buttons and find the "Rotate Screen"

How to disable the back capacitive touch button when taking notes?

I keep managing to hit (with my palm) the capacitive back button (right capacitive touch press to the home button) when taking notes through the note taking application. Is there anyway to disable the back button when taking notes?
Thanks in advance for any kind assistance.

I have had this problem too and the only way I have found to overcome it is with GMD Pen control which allows you to temporarily disable the buttons. You do need to be rooted and it is a paid app, but well worth it in my opinion. The Play store link is:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...1bGwsMSwxLDIxMiwiY29tLmdtZC5zcGVuY29udHJvbCJd
There is also a forum thread here:

The developer is very responsive to issues and ideas.
I hope this helps.

One option is to use a program like 'ultimate rotation control' to temporarily flip your screen 180 degrees.
That way the capacitive buttons are on top, away from your palms.

Hold on a sec, if the air view is tuned on (or maybe with off too) the capacitive buttons are automatically deactivated, at least that how it works on mine!

Nope, doesn't deactivate in my case, and apparently, it's not an issue solely affecting me. It's an issue that affects everyone. I'm surprised how your phone manages to deactivate the touch buttons?

[Q] ROM for disabling touch buttons and lights

Hey
Just wondering if anyone has come across a ROM where you can disable the touch buttons down the bottom of the phone and their lights and just use the on screen ones?
Cheers

Why would you want that? It takes up screensize!
And I don't know if it's posible cause I think Android checks for hardware buttons (although they are soft-touch )

You can enable them in the probam rom, not sire of you can disable the soft keys though

Thanks guys. Same as my experience. Just wondering if there was anyway to disable them all together..

Disabling gestures & keeping DT2W

Hi,
I like the new gestures feature, but I dont need all of the swiping and it just turns on my screen by itself when it's my pocket. I'd really like to keep double tap to wake though as its very useful.
is there any way to disable the rest of the gestures while keeping double tap to wake? I'm rooted if that helps.
thanks.

Gestures do not work when its in your pocket unless there is light in your pocket. Proximity has to see light to enable gestures, not to mention needing motion to wake up gestures. Other than that, you can flash one of the high end roms as they give you full gesture selection and you can change and disable specific ones.

Well, no idea about that, but it's not uncommon for me to take it out of my pocket and find the screen on. Happens rarely yes, but it does happen.
Is there any particular ROM you can recommend? I value battery life above all else.
Thank you!

You could try ElementalX 0.11 or 0.12?

Sorry that I am replying to an old thread, but I've noticed that my recently acquired One M8 is somewhat random responding to DT2W and the post by an0ther seems relevant.
The gestures do respond better in light conditions, however I've found that lightly pressing the top of the phone, in the proximity detector area, between thumb and forefinger and then immediately doing DT2W the phone wakes up even in the dark. Is this just my phone or possibly a general characteristic?
I have the ElementalX kernel installed. Also I have a One M7 with ElementalX and the gestures always work day or night.
Any ideas why the One M8 should respond in this way?

How to toggle flashlight torch with physical button when screen is off?

Hi,
Is there an xposed module, app (rooted or not) or any other trick to give me the option to turn on flashlight torch when I press and hold power button even when the screen is off,
PS , running Cm13
Many thanks!

There is a xposed module named "xposed torch" that worked on my z1c
But on the 1+3 it seems to be broken, it just softreboot itself everytime i try to switch on my flashlight with it.. so i sticked with the "V" gesture

Actually I want this on my O+X , does not seem to work, I have tried the following,
Gravitybox MM
Sense for xposed
Xposed torch
Play store apps (out of frustration)
Others
I don't know if such thing is possible with Tasker, so maybe some1 will help with that
Also, there was a Moto X feature called Chop Twice for flashlight , is there a way to make that possible on AOSP Roms?
Many thanks!

The ResurrectionRemix ROM supports that I think...

xposed additions is the app you are looking for. I have OP3 myself and use this module for media skipping etc None of the other modules seem to work
hit thanks if I helped u

GravityBox MM works for me. Locked, screen off, power button hold and press - flash on.

Be careful if your are on OOS when you try to use Xposed additions. There are some bugs,
1. Xposed additions will make feedback vibration of touch buttons unavailable;
2. Double click power button to open camera quickly is not available anymore;
3. Maybe there is little delay when you use 'volume-'+'power button' to make a screenshot.

true, but i use it for media controls and direct dial on triple click of power button for someone special as well.. so i prefer all these over the camera shortcut provided by OP.

im using custom slider xposed module to turn on and off flash light

Xposed Torch by Wanam does work at the beginning but after being in standby a while it doesn't launch the torch. from my perspective there isn't a sufficient solution that does fully work and does not break anything else.

Do you use xposed additions for Screen Off actions? I'm curious how reliable it is while the screen is off.....does it sometimes not trigger if you have had your screen off a while?
Have you tried Xposed Physical Button Music Control module? Serves almost identical purpose.....but I occasionally run into the issue I described. I'll Re-Map a Volume Up command (while screen off) to do some action.....sometimes it won't trigger if the screen has been off a while. Anyways, I'll be doing some extensive testing between these two (almost identical) modules and report back which I find more reliable/stable. I've used Xposed Physical Button Music Control for a LONG time and noticed the screen off actions are a bit flakey

xposed additions works for me perfectly all the time,be it screen off or screen on..
PBMC didnt work for me at all.. i tried it first for mapping music controls when screen is off but nothing went right...
i tried several modules but in the end xposed additions was the best of them all...
hit thanks if I've helped you

Here is my comparison so far for both Xposed Modules (Physical Button Music Control vs Xposed Additions)
Both apps have reliability issues with Screen Off triggers. To demonstrate, keep your screen off and don't touch your phone for quite a while (30+ minutes at a minimum). Now try to do a Screen Off trigger. It likely won't work. Now turn your screen on and off again. Try a Screen Off trigger immediately. It will work. So obviously, something is disabling/sleeping these apps after the phone goes idle for a while thus preventing these Screen Off triggers from working. I have no idea how to solve this. I've already added both apps to the Whitelist for Doze battery optimization. It is rather frustrating having this issue.
Both apps are NOT able to use the Home Button as a trigger while the screen is off
Xposed Additions CANNOT use the Home Key as a trigger....period. PBMC can.
Seems PBMC does not function on OOS....but it does work on CM based ROMs.
Both apps can play nicely together. So if you like specific things from both apps, you can use both.
Conclusion....they both perform pretty equally. I'll continue to investigate the reliability issues. There has GOT to be something we can do about this. I might write the xposed additions developer since he seems to be a OP3 user.

I use Gravitybox MM on OOS 3.2.7 and don't have any problems.
