Mirror/Flip Screen for Head Up Display - General Topics

Hello,
does anyone know a software that can mirror my devices screen?
Yesterday evening, I drove around but forgot to take the holder for my PPC with me. So I just put it under the front window. An surprisingly I could read the screen just fine. Just like an Head Up Display. The only was that it was mirrored by the front window. So I wonder about if there is a software that could mirror my screen, so that the image in the window is just fine.
With this, I can have my navigation without having the PPC stick in the holder.
It would be great, if I can map that software to a hardware button, to switch it on after typing in the destination (which would be an bit difficult mirrored)
Can someone help me?

PS: I hope you understand me. I'm from germany and sometimes I do not find the right words to say what I want.

Yes, i'm also using my ppc for hud a long time ago, but i haven't found a program to do that.
Can anyone help?

Have a look at tchart speed sentry http://www.tchartdev.com/ this has a HUD mode but it doesnt display maps just speed heading etc. I find the double reflections from the automotive glass a major distraction - but see what you think - Mike

Thanks Mike. I'll give it a try.
If you find anything else post it here...

Shortcut for rotating screen in Wm5

Hi!
I'd like to have a small icon in the lower part of my "today screen" (see picture), which switches between portrait and landscape view. I'm sure this is not a big deal, and there a plenty of apps for this purpose... but I haven't found them yet.
Any ideas?

My suggestion, install PHM Tools for rotating, and use PHM tray launcher to stick an icon in the tray.
But there is a hack on the board to use the "proper" rotate screen service. It wasn't a particularly effective hack IIRC, but it was there. Can't remember how to find it now though!

Do you mean this hack?

Sounds good, but doesn't work for me. I'll try again.
No, there was another hack specifically for Hermes. But again, IIRC didn't work for all.

u might consider to use ilauncher(sbsh.net) it has such a functionality. it works for my artemis and Universal
i developed that application many months ago because i didn't love HTC Plug of my p3600... the "secret" is ChangeDisplaySettingsEx API
Here's the thread I was thinking of, mysteriously hidden under the search "hermes rotate screen". Who'd of thought it?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1098622#post1098622
Gives the "original" screen rotate icon.

Unfortunately, it's not working on my Charmer (I thought this is an wm-issue and not related to the device).
-> I'm gonna use one of the 3rd party apps. Thanks for the feedback!
// EDIT
The hack *does* work on Charmer. I did a small mistake... big impact.

Loving Touch Commander!

I am not one to dig into the guts of my device and edit code. So a lot of the cool stuff that others are doing with their devices was not going to happen for me. I wanted finger navigation and quick access to call me contacts. I did a Google search for Windows Mobile Touch Navigation and there it was, 7th item listed.
I am running the free demo and it is totally solid, have not needed to reset device once. I will certainly purchase the product, it does everything I want it to and more. Here is the link to download. http://www.touch-commander.com/download-exe
I have had a few questions about the product and they have been great and getting back to me.
I just noticed that there are some new skins available as well, I am gonna grab those straight away, the Aero one looks sick!
Hope you all enjoy.
I will certainly purchase the product

If you live in the UK, it's currently being given away free with em... PDA Something*.. along with Resco Keyboard pro - all for the sum of £4.
* well come on there are not that many PDA magazines, go down to the newsagents and find it!
When I tried it on the samsung i780 last week, it worked like a piece of crap.
Is the Touch Commander for VGA Screen too ?

What application/plugin/whatever is this?

I remember seeing tons of screenshots for this and figuring/hoping whenever I upgrade to Windows Mobile 6.1, it would be there. Well, it's not, or at least not in Verizon's installation. What is this application or plugin and where can I get it? It is something I can install just like I've done with the HTC home plugin or is it something that has to be in the rom? Thanks, and sorry if I'm asking a question that's been asked a billion times before. I have no idea what to call this .

The screen shots are both from a WM6.1 Standard device. Do you have a Standard (ie no touch screen) or a Professional (with a touch screen)?
Professional (with touchscreen). So you're saying that layout is only intended for non touchscreen models? That sucks. I think that's a much cleaner layout than the out-the-box layout professional offers. Any ideas or am I just out of luck? Thanks.

You could browse through the countless number of themes and launchers available.
Guess it's time to find a new HTC touch home launcher. Thanks.
If I were you I would invest in Wisbar Advance Desktop. You could easily achieve this with it.
Never heard of it before. Looks pretty sharp, thanks for the heads up!
There is also a throttle launcher skin which looks similar to this. I think it is the windows mobile 7 skin. If you do a search it should come up pretty quickly.

I rotate the phone 180 degrees to let you see another side
How do you judge it? I think mine isn't that bad.

you need to put on something that is black background to see it. i can see it across the top and bottom , i can also see it very similair on my tv if i look at it the same way looking up into it. its there adn you can see it but its not that noticable unless your looking for it on mine. the pics the other poster showed were definaltey worse than mine. This does not make me regret the purchase at all.
i cant really see it at all when its the standard white bar across the top on froyo.
How about this one? Get "draw!" from market.
I have to put a dot at the center in order to take picture.
Added a pic of MT4 under similar situation (using draw!), but since the screen is less sensitive, I have to draw a small circle instead of the dot.

If you have to ask if it's bad....it's not bad.

[Q] Dropped Xoom - now screen random displays like this

I recently dropped my Xoom (in a case onto a carpeted floor). It semeed to survive but now the display shows distorted colors like the sample attached. I thought it might be a loose connection but I can be working away and the screen will revert to normal and stay that way for days.
And I can suspend it while it's okay, come back to it and the display is corrupt again.
Can anybody work out what could be going on? I would prefer not to have to replace the screen but I don't really know if that is the issue if it reverts back to normal all the time.
Thanks

The screenshots look fine to me, how about upload the images of your LCD screen not screenshots.

Silly me. The screen shots look distorted to me also because I was posting on the device!
Yeah looks like a loose connector to me. You may be able to fix it if it was a soldering joint. I guess the repair can do the same thing.
I dropped my tablet recently and the screen got screwed like yours, but mine is worse. I don't know too much about hardware, but I think that it's the crystal that broke, so it may be hard to fix :/. Anyway, if you get it back working I hope you to share some info with me, as well I will do if I get working .
