Permanant Landscape Mode

hey does anyone know i can get my Black Majik to stay permanently in landscape mode unless I change the settings? I don't like the delay in the screen when i open the keyboard and I'd rather the screen just always be in landscape mode unless i absolutely need to read something in portrait (rarely).
Thanks.

ive been looking for this since i got a ppc

Do you think this is a Hermes issue or all WM6 htc phones? I just think that its sad that the interface to type and look up contacts on my old sidekick is faster than my Hermes!

I think, it's not possible, unless you remove the magnet between the case and the keyboard.
Here are some settings:
HKLM->System->GDI->Rotation
and here are some tweaks:
Hide/Show Screen orientation icon
If you wish to hide the Screen orientation icon, shown in the task bar on some devices, you can set:
HKLM\Services\?ScreenRotate\ShowIcon = 0 (DWORD decimal)
HKLM\System\GDI\Rotation\HideOrientationUI = 1 (DWORD decimal)
And to show it again:
HKLM\Services\?ScreenRotate\ShowIcon = 1 (DWORD decimal)
HKLM\System\GDI\Rotation\HideOrientationUI = 0 (DWORD decimal)
If this doesn't work, you can try:
HKLM\Services\screenrotate = 0 (DWORD decimal)
And to show it again:
HKLM\Services\screenrotate = 1 (DWORD decimal)
Note that this icon and its feature may not be available on your device at all.

Well the orientation problem is with hermes. I saw other models of HTC and they are accepting the changes very well. And asked to make it fixed not to remove the icon from the settings.

FINALLY... WHAT YOU HAVE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR

I've come to notice that no one REALLY knew how to fully disable screen rotation on WM devices.
Some offered 3rd party apps to get the job done, some only knew how to disable automatic rotation, but when the device went into standby and woke up again - the screen rotated back. So that didnt really work.
So if you're as desperate as i was about screen rotation,
this is what you need to do:
1. Get dotfred's free taskmanager HERE, and run it.
2. Go to "Devices" tab, and look for "MIS1:" device (oem_misc.dll)
3. Long-Tap on it, and tap on "Stop"
4. Long-Tap on it again, and now choose "Set Manual"
5. Go to "Notifications" tab, and look for "Notifications\NamedEvents\VCPowerWakeupEvent"
6. Tap on it to make it selected
7. Disable it
(In dotfred's taskmanager, there should be a button for disabling it, but for some reason some devices couldn't see the button icons, although the buttons are still clickable. Under the notifications list there is an empty light-blue line - the buttons are there, eventough you can't see them.
The disable buttons is somewhere i the middle of that light-blue line, just tap the center until a message box popps up and asks if you'd like to disable this notification - Tap on yes.)​All those steps are a one time deal - they stick even after an SR.
This has been tested on htc universal and works great.
The screen will keep its orientation even if you flip your screen, take out your built in keyboard, or turn the device off and back on.
The only time your screen will revert back to the original orientation is when you soft reset your device.
Hope this helps

calculator for s620

If I'm already releasing alpha software, why not this one, too...
SEE BUG REPORT AT END.
Here is a calculator for the dash. The idea is similar to Lygea 123 and 1-calc for the s620, in that it displays a replacement keyboard on the screen. This way one can use our dash almost like any other scientific calculator. Why did I make this one when the other two already exist?
Lygea 123 is not a scientific calculator, but instead just a financial/business calculator, so it didn't have the features I wanted. And I didn't like the interface of 1-calc....
It is very rough, and I'm sure has some bugs. But it is quite usable - it is the calculator that I use. The problem is that I don't have time to work on it now, but I think people might already enjoy it!
It might be a bit strange to use - it is a mixture of infix and prefix. You can use it as a regular calculator if you like, and everything should work as expected.
Here is an example of how it can be used:
say you want to calculate
2*sin(40+35)
you enter: 2 * sin ( 40 + 35 ) =
you can also enter: 2 * ( 40 + 35 ) sin =
(which would be like a regular calculator - infix)
to calculate sin(60) you can enter
60 sin =
or
sin 60 =
to calculate 1/4 +3 you can type
[1/x] 4 + 3 =
or
4 [1/x] + 3 =
Notice that because of this strange way to calculate things, the result of 4 [1/x] is only displayed when you type '+'. (maybe a later version will not have this 'problem')
the button 'ANS' recalls the last answer (the result of the last time '=' was pressed)
There is now prelimnary unit conversion. It isn't really optimal. What I'd really like is to be able to do
1 [m] + 3 [feet] =
Currently, it just switches the current number displayed. So to convert m to inches, do this:
2.5 [m] [inch]
To switch to unit conversion mode, press right. To switch back, press left.
To store in a memory location, hit STO, and then write the location. Valid locations are 0..99
memory locations 0..9 are displayed under the respective key.
STO+ STO- STO* STO/ do operations on those locations.
example:
1+4 = [STO] 9 =
memory location 9 now contains 5.
You can also do operations while doing calculations.
34 + 60 [STO] 3 =
displays 94, and 60 is stored in memory location 3.
To recall simply hit recall, and the location
34 [STO] 3 =
5 + [RCL] 3 * 9 + [RCL] 3 =
should give
5 + 34 * 9 + 34, i.e. 345.
The calculator still does not remember things across separate invocations.....
################################################
BUG:
There currently is a problem with using the calculator postfix.
So you can calculate
sin(60) by typing
60 sin =
or
sin 60 =
But there are problems with using two operations postfix.
sin(60^2) will give the wrong result if done like this:
60 [x^2] sin
but the right result if done like this:
sin [x^2] 60
So for now, if you envoke multiple functions in a row, use prefix - type the function before the operand.
This is especially annoying for RC, for doing calculations on stored values.
You have to type
sin RCL 2
and not
RCL 2 sin
------------------
update: now a cab file is available! And, new version will run only one instance at time.
------------------
update: keys have the letters on them now. Also moved keys a bit. Now / and * are in the right place.
------------------
update:
1. added a few functions (factorial, n choose k)
2. added deg-rad-grad for trigonometric functions. Switch between them with up-down
3. added preliminary unit conversion. Celsius<->Fahrenheit.
4. added preliminary unit conversion for lengths and weights. Switch between modes using left-right.
------------------
update: v2.01
The two current ugliest bugs fixed:
keys don't wander down any more on a long press (I kinda liked it...)
Pressing * twice doesn't crash any more.
In addition, a small change: You can leave the shift (yellow key) pressed when pressing another key. In this case the alternate
function is used, but the keys do not remained shifted. Pressing only shift leaves it locked.
------------------
update: v2.02
made a bit more stable. Can now calculate up to 170 factorial. Log window scrolls.
------------------
update: v2.03
Added memory functions.
To store in a memory location, hit STO, and then write the location. Valid locations are 0..99
memory locations 0..9 are displayed under the respective key.
STO+ STO- STO* STO/ do operations on those locations.
To recall, hit RCL, and then location.
------------------
update: v2.031: small cosmetic change.

I wll test it tomorrow. Good point anyway .

update: now a cab file
I uploaded new file: now it is a cab file.
And, now if program is running, it will be brought into the foreground when run again (instead of running a 2nd version).

I tried, Its hard to use it coz I am not sure what button what does.
/ is the simbol on my key, but in your calc is * - why?
And when I hit * twice I have some error exepton

The layout on screen is supposed to be identical to the layout of the s620 keyboard. So don't look at the keyboard, only at the screen.

Here I'm not sure what is better. If you really look only at the screen, and not at the keys, then my layout is better, because then the keys are in logical places - otherwise '-' would be somewhere on the right, '*' at the bottom-left.
But I also get confused by the '*' vs. '/' key. Maybe I'll just switch them in the layout....

This is a bug....

Dude... its so no-user-friendly .
In many situation I must count buttons from left to right and to right to left to find my button - you may know it, put for new users is some kind of hell .
Can you combine this with cursor, to control with narrows some sqare to select buttons?

This is good idea to utilize Dash's keyboard, but counting which key to use makes it much harder then necessary. I suggest you can display keyboard letters on screen, in a small font or in background. It will make key-hunting much easier.

You are right, I'll try to add little letters to the buttons.
In the meantime - here is a hint: the numbers and the left black column are really no problem. The only problem are the middle block black of keys, such as
sin cos tan
x^2 exp 10^x
For these, you can use the top row as guides: + ( ) are all in the right place....

Very useful looking! The mental reinforcement of the glowing letters/symbols on the keypad is just too much for me to overcome, though.
Having '=' mapped to space is very practical, but I want to press enter. Are you up for feature requests? A base converter on one of the yet unused keys would be outstanding. bin/hex/dec? OF course, then you'd need more numeral keys... hmmm.
Or, it could be skinnable/mappable. Some shiny .png buttons, remapping options, and you would probably have the #1 Smartphone Calc. No, you definitely would.

OK OK - keys have labels.
I added labels with the letter to each key. This is not read from key mapping, though, so it only works correctly for QWERTY keyboard. I also moved the keys around a bit, so now / and * are in the right place.
What's the best way to read the keyboard mapping?

Much better now! Do you have time to add Memory functions and some basic unit conversion functions?
The following is a tiny calculator I wrote many years ago for REX6000. Still have that baby in my wallet today

Ahhhhh the Rex...

Wow! That is really cool! I got my wife a Rex for her birthday many years ago. Why don't they make this form factor any more? It was perfect!
Her second one died just last year
That's a cool calculator! If it had been my Rex, I would have installed it

added unit conversion and a few other things
Due to popular demand, I added unit conversions. I'm still not quite happy with the result. But I'm not quite sure how it should be done.
The best would be to be able to do
1 [m] + 3 [inch] =
and then pressing [feet] will give the result in feet.
This doesn't work now.
For now, just do unit conversion on the result of calculations... not during calculations.
So, you can do
1.54 [inch][m]
or
2 + 4*6 = [feet][km]
To switch to conversion mode, press .
See first post for other changes.​

Bugs:
The yellow square creeps down the screen if you hold alt. Fixes on relaunch.
The numeral keys do this as well.
Pressing + twice with no entry causes an exception.
This appears to happen with the * key as well.
Soft Key labels do not take Windows Button appearance.
---------------------
I really like the speed with which I can get to everything. Switching to units mode is elegant and going to be very handy at work, thanks!
I am curious as to why the temp conversion is on the scientific functions page rather than the units page.
May I make more requests? Automatic save on exit of last page used would be handy. Perhaps the Alt key should say alt and flash when clicked instead of movingMaking the ! match its keyboard location would be nice, I guess, too.

Simply ugly programming. First I just made a F->C and C->F button like qaplus' REX6000 program. Then I added my style of units as a different function.
But there is a problem that if I want the following to work later, then
3[m] - 2[mm] =
makes sense. But
98 F - 32 F =
is something special. It is not degrees F any more, but instead a difference between degrees, in F.
So
99 [F] - 90 [F] =
[C]
should eventually show a difference of 5 degrees C, and not
9 degrees F converted to C, which is (-12.777) degrees C.
Profezza said:

It could say alt. Though on my keyboard, it is labeled FN (I have a dopod). But why flash instead of moving?
If you mean that the change shouldn't be permanent (i.e. not shift-lock), then now there are two ways to use shift:
press and hold, and press another key will not lock, just do the alternate function. Press and release shift with no interveaning keypress will lock the shift state.

This will come later, when instead of ln, exp, log, 10^, log2, 2^, I will have just one key, and you can switch the log base as you do now with rad-grad-deg.

That was fast! I was making a lighthearted reference to the fact that the bottom-of-screen captions for the "soft keys", meaning the two above the home and back <- keys, don't have the shiney/glowie look that they do in the native OS screens.
I imagine this is related to the software you are developing in, and not really important anyway.

How to AVOID accidental HOME click while typing

I've resorted to this because...
1. Modifying "kl" files doesn't work for me.
2. I don't like using softkeys
*PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK. I AM NOT LIABLE IF YOU SOMEHOW DAMAGED YOUR PHONE.
*EVERYTHING IS REVERSIBLE by just removing the apps listed below.
Hi everyone,
If you are just like me, wanting to mitigate from accidentally clicking home button while supposedly trying to click space bar while typing, here is my suggestion.
1. You need root
2. Install xposed app
3. Install xposed gravityboxLp module (NO NEED FOR THIS - EVERYTHING CAN BE DONE ON Xposed Addition Module)
4. Install xposed additions module
Xposed additions: you need to remap each button to your preference.
My current setup:
BACK button:
click = go back
click+hold = forcekill foreground app
HOME button:
click = disabled
click+hold = go home (this may not work, so you might need to call your launcher activity instead)
RECENT button:
click = show recent apps
click+hold = screenshot

Don't forget to click thanks and, if not so burdensome, reply here if this has helped you. thanks

BTW, if you guys have simpler/better solution that this, please do share. thanks.

One way to temporary disable the home and task switch key is to use screen pinning:

Back key still work, and it last until you quit the app. I only use it for running Asphalt 8, since my left thumb tends to hit those keys when playing.

"RECENT button:
click = show recent apps
click+hold = screenshot "
I am sure that there are some applications where the default "click+hold" function of recent apps button, i.e. calling up the app menu, may come handy as those apps don't have the three dots in upper right corner or that hype design....yes, "material" they call it
How would you proceed to call up the menu in such cases?
Just my observation/warning for users, otherwise your solution is a good one, I used to have similar settings through Gravity Box.
Heh, my thumb still keeps hitting a "." key on my favourite keyboard instead of spacebar due to ZF2 having a slightly larger screen than my previous device )

Good that you've mentioned the possible issue with app menu. I honestly haven't experienced the issue with any app that i use to call upon app menu, but i think we can still add double tap in gravity box on recent key to do that.
So far, i am still mistyping due to big hands, but at least I no longer experience being brought back to home accidentally.

great one

does anybody here have better solution than this?

Fingerprint-only unlock working if using lock widget with root (updated for Nougat)

--ORIGINAL POST AND TITLE--
Title: Fingerprint only unlock not working if using lock widget
I'm using the app called Power Toggles, and when I lock my phone with the toggle, it will ask for my password pattern when I try to unlock with my fingerprint. If I use the power button to lock, the fingerprint unlock works fine.
--UPDATE (Marshmallow)--
Since I rooted, I can unlock my phone using my fingerprint when locking it using the below methods. Interested to hear from others, and I can update this list. Looks like a few on Nexus 6P have had issues, but let me know if you've tested on 5x, 6P, or both.
To be added to the list, you have to be able to lock the screen using the method listed. It has to be a true lock, not a short dimming of the screen like a few widgets do.
Phone state when tested: Stock OS, systemless root, custom kernel (Franco).
- Nova launcher gestures (e.g. double-tap to turn screen off) - 5x
- Power Toggles app - 5x
--UPDATE (Nougat)--
Phone state is stock OS, systemless root, Franco kernel.
Working:
- Nova launcher gestures (e.g. double-tap to turn screen off)
- Tasker "keyevent 26" command. Using this with a custom Power Toggles tile works, but there is a noticeable delay between pushing the button and the screen turning off. The delay varies.
Not working:
- Power Toggles. The native screen-off function requires a pattern/PIN/etc. to unlock. There is a feature that allows you to create a custom tile that links to Nova's double-tap function, but there's a bug that causes the app to crash when you try adding that button.

Yup, just tested and getting the same result.

Yep noticed that within the first hour when using Screen Off app.. I used a double tap Nova gesture to trigger the app and turn the screen off but using the fingerprint reader to unlock, it asks for the PIN/Pattern anyway
very annoying

Evidently something in Android causes those apps to "force" it to the lock screen. On prior devices without the finger print scanner, using those apps would always trump any sort of screen lock timer (like if you have it set to go off, but not lock until 5 minutes later, so you would do a regular swipe to unlock).
I don't have mine yet but know that will annoy me as I use that all the time.

I've tried a variety of screen off apps and they all do the same thing you are experiencing. Looks like it will take an app update from someone who has access to one of these phones.

Is it interfering with the fingerprint auth for Android Pay? If not, it may be just what I'm looking for. I want to use Pay, but I don't want my finger to unlock the phone, and I can't seem to find any way to limit what Imprint controls.

Doesn't interfere with Android Pay.

If rooted... Setup a Tasker task that uses the Secure Settings plugin to run command 'input keyevent 26' as root. Create a widget pointing to the task. Fingerprint/Imprint then unlocks phone as expected.

Do you have "Power button instantly locks" enabled in your security settings? "Input keyevent 26" is functionally identical to pressing the power button.

You are probably correct, yes I do have that set but it appears that smart lock overrides that ?

This has been my experience as well and it sucks because I was looking forward to never having to use the power button or put in a code with the n5x. I am hoping for this to be fixed somehow.

Works well - thanks for the spot.

An app called Gravity Screen works, can be set to screen off and lock when placed faced up on a table or a double Tap from home screen to activate short cut "persistent off"
Smart Lock Support in more settings in Gravity Lock needs to be enabled.

Hi,

I created an Android app using android.bluetooth library in the way below, but it does not work, I do not receive the event of tapping

UUID UUID_TAPPING_CHAR = UUID.fromString(String.format(BASE_UUID_TAPPING, "0010"));
