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.

I've tried that I believe, but doesn't really help. Oh well.

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.

It works

How do you change the Lockscreen Wallpaper?

Although it says in Settings > Personalize "Choose... lock screen wallpaper", there is no way to actually change the image. On earlier versions of HTC Sense for Android you could have a different picture on the lock screen and as a wallpaper, but not now. Another backward step or am I missing something?

I saw it also, the information is still in the user manual by the way, but not possible.
Is there a way to have the weather widget on lockscreen?
Thanks for your help

Nothing on my menus for lock screen...would be nice but tbh I'm not that fussed

I want to be able to change it too. I rather liked that feature on my Hero

I downloaded LockBotPro... its a good app an there's a decent amount of customization you can do to the lock screen... add your own wallpaper, lock slider & sound effect but shame its not compatibile with the AndWobble app, that would of made it a thousand times better
Is it possible to have live/animated lock screen themes with LockBotPro?

great app, but how can I upgrade to pro, when the market is not opened for paid apps?
EDIT: Sorry, I see now I can't...until it's rooted at least...

Not sure, but i would hardly imagine anyone having a go at it, people are trying to run away from live wallpapers to save up some battery life

This feature worked for me, and was present in the settings menu. ALthough I noticed at some point that my lockscreen image was not what I set it to, and the menu option was not there anymore......
I went back expecting the menu option to be there but it wasn't. Wonder whats going on. The feature was there and it worked for me...

Screen Rotation Shortcut

Sorry if this exists somewhere else (I exhausted my search keywords and couldn't find it).
I am a recent convert to the ZL side and, for the most part, really like the phone. One thing, however, that I really liked from the Samsung Galaxy device I came from (and even the iPhones before that) was the quick way of locking screen rotation. Is there a way to bring that functionality into my ZL? On the Galaxy Note I had, all I needed to do was bring up the notification slider and select Screen Rotation lock. On the iPhone, if memory serves, I doube-tapped the home button and went all the way to the left and select the lock icon. On the ZL, I have to go into the settings, then into the display setting, then click on the Auto-Rotate screen option.
I appreciate any advice.
Thanks!

Install this and select the rotation toggle and check the others.. They are cool.

I recommend installing "ScreenRotate (Small App)"
It will add rotation toogle to small apps bar (which shown when you press task switcher button).
Its more convenient that having to pull down notification bar, take space in notification area or having to go to homescreen to use widget.

Dude why don't you try the app I told you few posts above? It does have that option too and it's great... It doesn't take much space on the notification place... Look.

Sorry missed your post. That's an awesome app I always searched for notification toggle apps but they were always super ugly, missed some toggles or didn't work with the notification bar!
If only it could be be above the time and I wish the icons were smaller just like stock toggles.
Maybe I cam charge them myself

[Q] Daydream? Where did it go?

Been using Daydream while docked at night on my S4 and S5 FOREVER. On new G4 the option is in settings for a few options but I can't get any to function. Verizon G4., Display/Daydreams on.

I have daydream. Its in settings under display.
Mine say docked or charging.

Did you bother looking exactly where it's supposed to be?

It's in settings/display/Daydream where it always has been. It just doesn't work. Changing or docked doesn't matter. Frustrating.

Misunderstood the question >< ........
Settings> Display> Daydream
Once you're there:
1- ON switch is at the top
2- Choose the default Clock to test it (change that anytime later)
3- Next to it, tap the 3-dot menu and tap on Startup Settings, choose Either to test it (change that anytime later)
4- 3-dot menu again, Start Now
Now if that doesn't work then maybe you disabled some app you shouldn't have?
If you're using a third party app what is it? Go through it's settings again.

Just bit the bullet and did a reset. Ta Da.... Back and functioning, thanks.

Nitpicky observations

Loving this phone so far, but there are a couple things bothering me. The first is no double tap recent button to bring up last used app. Why is this not in OOS? I use that all the time and it's not there.
Second is nav bar color and style. Anyone able to get a subatratum nav bar theme to stick? Why is the default background white with no way to change it?
Anyway have tricks to solve these little annoyances? What are your picky criticisms of the OP5t so far?

I'm pretty sure the double tap for recent apps is suppose to be on there. Have you checked the settings as you can set actions for each button
The best way around that is to use an app called navbar apps. You can set I to change colour occording to the app or set a solid colour

You have to set it to "no action". This will set the default action which is the most recent app.

Tested double tap recent and it works.

Oh wow, so no action actually has an action. Genius. Thanks for the help

Yeah, I think that double-tap on the multi-task key bringing up the last app has been part of Android for some time now. I could be mistaken.
