ace_ddi.dll + screen rotation help - General Topics

Hi, this is my first post so please if I make some mistakes be patient (I'm really dummy and sorry for mistakes) ..... I've been trying to solve the problem for lots of time but no success for now. Ok let's focus on details:
What I want to do: to be able to rotate the screen.
The device: non standard bought in Poland, based on centrality atlas, win core 5.0; There is no way to flash rom, have only soft reset restoring windows folder to original state, this is a gps device which was unlocked and able to run lots of apps. but the problem still remain the same - no rotation gained.
Not working: trying lots of stuff like nydiot but none worked and even caused problems with synchronization via activesync
Recently I've focused on ace_ddi.dll and found an app. called ace_ddi.dll rotator. Guess what? it started to work but partly. If I change the screen from 320x240 (default) to 240x320 the rest of the window is beyond the display. If I restore 320x240 I've got two taskbars one at top (not default) and one at bottom (default), but this one is not working.
The package I am using consitis of:
ace_ddi.dll
rotator.exe
screenrotateservice.dll
srswrapper.dll
vsd_setup.dll
srs.cpl
Here's what going on the screen:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Btw. one more question If I overwrite for example ddi.dll in windows directory does the system use new ddi.dll or the old one was preloded into the memory ?
Now I am really stuck what to do. Ive asked for help in Microsoft and others forums but no one is able to answer my questions or give a hint what to do.
If You have any ideas, please, help it's really cheap but worth working device and it would be grateful to change the orientation of the screen.
If the topic is miplaced, please, move it to the appropriate place.
Thanks for all help.

Hello and welcome to the forum.
Though usually questions like this would be better off in General forum I will not move it because that forum gets too much traffic as it is.
As for your question:
There is no way to rotate the screen. Screen rotation is part of the display driver and only the OEM (the maker of the device) can provide that.
Windows CE (which is what your device is running - its different from Windows Mobile) is a very modular system - like Lego.
Most manufacturers of navigation device strip out any unnecessary components, sometimes even the shell and file explorer to conserve memory.
So though some functionality can be restored to these devices via 3rd party apps they can never do everything regular PDAs do.
As for replacing the dll: if the file you overwrite it with is compatible with the device (processor / OS) it should function but you may need a reset (the kind that does not delete files).

Thank You for your reply. It's really hard to believe that it's not possible to rotate the screen but I'll have to accept this. Not to found another topic I intend to ask some more question here (mainly it's also connected with display and rotation) I'll be grateful for your answers:
1. Is there any software that can change the orientation of the screen and is worth installing ? We have to remember that the windows folder is back to original state after restart or reset.
2. There's possibility of changing shell-folders in registry like MyDocuments and so on what I've already done, but one entry I leave unchanged it's "windows" I am afraid of changing that and hanging my device. Question is: if I change this entry the new path provided in this section will make another path for windows or it will change the current ? Is it safe to change the value of this key ? I would like to force the system to load from normal \windows directory and force to load some additional files from my new \windows directory placed on sd-card.
3. I've got problems with forcing apps to display eastern fonts - mainly polish, could give me a hint ?
Thank You very much for your help and looking forward to hearing from You.

add Reboot to Quicklist

Hi
Is there anybody that could help me add Reboot to the Quicklist. I have a Qtek 8020 (Feeler) with a custom wm6 rom and that has the reboot option. I've tried to add:
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{2ABD8635-9808-4c4c-943B-8173B805FD40}\InProcServer32]
@="HTCquickList.dll"
AND:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\QuickApp]
"5"="{B7A5E609-3E46-442d-8D32-65926EDA6795}"
"4"="{69E9215B-91B0-461b-A3B6-165EBA32DAE1}"
"3"="{0D519EC6-315A-4693-AF1B-B2DA865AC1C7}"
"2"="{2ABD8635-9808-4c4c-943B-8173B805FD40}"
"1"="{6D48AB52-635C-4c6a-8508-9D32A0F07863}"
(Number 2 is the reboot option)
and also copied in HTCQuickList.dll to the windows folder. I just get a some squares as option number 2 instead of the word Reboot and it does nothing when I choose option number 2...
Could anyone please lead me in the correct path
Thanks.
Finally
I got it working by searching through the registry on the Feeler. For those of you who would like to know:
You need to add these registry settings:
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{2ABD8635-9808-4c4c-943B-8173B805FD40}\InProcServer32]
@="HTCquickList.dll"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\HTCQuickList\0]
"ResOver"="1050"
"FilePath"="reboot.exe"
"CmdLine"=""
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\ResOver]
"1050"="Reboot"
And change this one:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\QuickApp]
"5"="{B7A5E609-3E46-442d-8D32-65926EDA6795}"
"4"="{69E9215B-91B0-461b-A3B6-165EBA32DAE1}"
"3"="{0D519EC6-315A-4693-AF1B-B2DA865AC1C7}"
"2"="{2ABD8635-9808-4c4c-943B-8173B805FD40}"
"1"="{6D48AB52-635C-4c6a-8508-9D32A0F07863}"
Originally you only have four in
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\QuickApp] so you will need to change the order. Number two is the reboot option.
After you've done this you need to copy HTCQuickList.dll and reboot.exe to the /windows folder.
Then you have the reboot option in QuickList as option number two
I've attached the two files you need.
Awesome, my friend!
I just love it.
Thanks a lot.

I've set it to position '3'.
Just a little question: What is the value 'ResOver' and why is it set to '1050'?
The ResOver and 1050 is where the name Reboot is set. You can put whatever you like there....
App Ready
I compiled these files into ready to install application HTC Reboot.
Just install in to the phone and you are safe from the hasle of manually puting files etc.
Installer will ask you for place of installation, whatever you will choose, it will install in phone anyway.
Mancom
Excellent. Installed using your cab and changed the "Reboot" to the German translation in the registry. Works perfect. Well done guys!
very nice..... thanks
can someone give me the same app, but which powers off my device?

Will this cab work with any Smartphone with VM6 or just with HTC phones? Some of the soft keys in my old, but reliable Tornado just aren't responding as they once did. So... I just got a Blackjack II for $80 from AT&T while I wait to see what features the next generation HTC Touch Dual or a similar form HTC Smartphone will have. I want a slim form factor HTC Smartphone with Touch Screen, Quad-Band, 3G, WiFi, GPS and with at least a 20-key keypad. In the meantime the BJII will suffice, but I'd like it to have the ability to reboot from the Quicklist as my Tornado still does.
Excelent
What an excellent little app. Thanks a lot...just what I've been looking for. :thumbsup:
I was happy to find it too, but unfortunately it doesn't seem to work on my TD2.
I installed the cab, checked all the registry entries and the presence of the DLL and the EXE in the Windows directory. Everything seems to be correct.
But I still have only 4 options in Quicklist, Reboot not included. It's a German WindowsMobile - could that be the problem?
hi guys. i was wondering if this reboot option can be done for my HTC Touch2 running wm 6.5? i have attached a screenshot of the quick list on it..hopefully someone can help me.

Problem with AutoKeyLock & Vito copy/paste...

Hi there,
I just discovered the AutoKeyLock program and immediately hit the problem with "Cannot hook the keyboard".
So I renamed my VitoCopyPaste.exe to .eze and rebooted.
This allowed AutoKeyLock to work.
Just out of interest, I renamed VitoCopyPaste back to .exe and it ran fine. So that suggests to me that both applications can co-exist as long as AutoKeyLock is started first.
So, 65000$ question, is there any way to control the startup order?
BTW I'm running Dr. Gonzo's WM 6.1 ROM on my Vox if that makes a difference?
TIA,
Richard
You can't use both apps on your vox, you must choose one or the other.
Sorry.
That's not true! I have them both working when I automatically start AutoScreenLock and manually start copy/paste.
I can see them both in task manager, Honestly!
If I knew how to take a screen shot, I'd post it.
R.
No, if autokeylock is launched first (screensaver active), vito copypaste don't work, if vito copypaste is launched first, autokeylock don't work.
It's a fact, only one soft can hook the keyboard.
Bye.
I am using "SmartToolkit 1.0.0.RC08" for: autokeylock, copy/paste and key mapping, ( "celle task" is mapped on center d-pad button).
OK Here's a screenshot from my phone showing both apps running:

Believe you, yes that you can run both binaries at the same time.
The $65,001 question (which is what Fireburned is trying to say), is if both applications actually function when running together?
Running the two apps is ofcourse possible, but the beauty is they wont work simultaneousely . Its very simple, how can two apps lock the same hardware device? Think about it. You are using a dialup modem and are already connected to some network through it, now you start and another dialer and again want to use the same modem to dialup some other network, is it possible ?
Yes, they both work.
Shaunak.it, I don't know too much about Windows Mobile but in other OS's you have the concept of chaining where several programs can register an interest in a particular interrupt or device.
Thinking about it, WM must support something similar, otherwise how does the screenshot program see the * key pressed whilst both AutoKeyLock & Vito Copy & Paste are running?
Returning to my original question, is there any way to control the order that programs are started at boot time?
R.
dicko99 : I don't believe you, sorry
Phrak and shaunak.it : Thanks you, it's what i want to say, both applications can run simultany, but only the first launched app works.
Bye.

Yeah! the other program will get access to the device only after the first service let go of it's hold
Video proof
Enjoy!
try to make an sms text message and use vitocopypaste to select some words and cut/paste it somewhere else.
you will notice it doesn't work, because a carriage return is automatically inserted when keylock releases the hook to vitocopypaste.
B****r! I only tested copy/paste on a single line field...
Bye bye AutoKeyLock then!
R.
That's an old problem (not limited to the VOX) - long solved as well. Install Mobiion HookManager (free for personal use):
http://www.mobiion.com/downloads.html#hookmgr
Woo! It really works.
Thanks for the info.

yes indeed!!!
great find

[Q] How to delete font (youyuan.ttf)? WM 6.1 Hurricane. Tried obvious routes.

Sorry for the long title thread, wanted to get all the basics in, hoping people won't skim by another 'help.running out of mem' type thread title.
To break it down a little more fully...
HTC Hurricane (badged up as Orange C550)
SIM and APP unlocked
Recently upgraded to Windows Mobile 6.1 (using ROM and instructions here)
The amount of Storage memory is very low 1.7-2Mb
In terms of additional software installed to the phone, and NOT the storage card, I only have QuickReset (6Kb)
6.38Mb of the available 17.95Mb for storage memory is taken up by one font in the /windows/ (not windows/fonts/) directory - youyuan.ttf . I believe this is a chinese (simp?trad?) font, which came installed with the custom ROM (selang09's wm 6.1 - see thread link above).
What I have tried (after googling and searching here and over at modaco)
deleting the font (Resco Explorer, Windows Explorer from PC)
renaming the font with a new extension youyuan.ttf > youyuan.txt
adding to the font's extension youyuan.ttf > youyuan.ttf.txt
moving the font to another folder, rebooting and deleting from there (wouldn't actually move the font in the first place, only copy)
edit the registry and remove all references to the font, reboot and try same steps above
The first four methods were all solutions I found online that others had recommended when font file removal had been an issue. The fifth I just thought I should try before posting here. The only issue is that some of the apps now have squares rather than chinese symbols - not a problem as I couldn't understand the correct symbols. I've gotten by with random menu selections so far
Am I missing an obvious trick? I'd really like to be able recover some more storage memory, some apps aren't running due to low disk space, when they use temp files etc.
If I've missed out anything information wise, please do let me know.
If I should have read something properly, and the fix is a 5 second job, feel free to take mick, but do please reply if you know how to delete/amend this file.
Many thanks.

Can anyone point me in the right direction for where to look for an answer? I've tried on this forum, general googling and also over at modaco.
Am I approaching this in the wrong manner?
With less than 2Mb free for storage, with nothing else I can find that I could remove, I'm often hitting problems with programs and games trying to place temporary files there whilst being run, and crashing out. Installing anything (obviously onto the storage card) requires finding the CAB file for it, and copying over manually, as otherwise, using Activesync to install in the normal manner, CABs seem to be temporarily stored in Storage, even before you get to the point of being asked where you want to actually install it.
If not delete, is there any way I can set a command to run before the GUI is too far loaded, that would make the file 0 bytes? As I don't use chinese characters, and have removed reg. references to it, I'd not be losing any functionality.
PS Waited until this thread slipped off the front page before bumping, hope this is considered polite enough around here...
No one ever had any idea how to sort this? I eventually discovered that a hard reset and not re-importing my old SMS etc freed up more memory, but I was surprised that no one had encountered this and found a solution?

so from what i understand is that every time you delete the font it comes back after a reboot?
Thanks for responding. No, I am simply unable to delete the font in the first place. I've tried all the steps I mentioned in the first post, I think I was either using Total Commander or Resco Explorer. I tried removing the reg entries referring to the ttf file in case they caused the file to be locked, but to no avail.

Cab Howto repair HTC Album

Hi guys, I got a big problem with HTC Album.
When I tray to display Facebook photos, I can only see the names of the folders and the number of photos but I can't display them (first it's loading but after appear a cross).
I tried to pass by contacts list and it to the same thing. Even with another Facebook account.
I also tried to delete the folder "FBContacts", in order to reset something but it doesn't do anything.
But, it works with the Facebook app' (but less simple than HTC Album)
Note : Association between contact and Facebook account, works, I can see the current profile picture (but it is the only one i can).

So, is it possible to reinstall / repair HTC Album ?!
Maybe I delete some important thing, or maybe there's a modification to do in the registry...
In advance, thank you.
Hi,
I guess most of the users face this issue, anyone found a solution yet?
Hi guys, I didn't realize that everybody was suffering from this. So, for the benefit of all, I just posted a thread with the fix.

try using dafault values on this tweak
Change:
HKLM/System/StorageManager/FATFS/CacheSize To: 65536
this tip enables a 32mb filesystem cache. it is unsuitable for 1.66 roms as will necessitate a hard reset.
This "tweak" is ultimately incompatible with my HD2/Diamond/Elf!
- On my HD2 (t-mobile stock 2.10) it causes the Album to lose the ability to view facebook pics, as in THE PICTURE ABOVE.
- On my Diamond, it causes wildly erratic behaviour, a corruption of ROM data (icons disappearing, programs stop launching with a "not a vaild win32 app", root files showing wrong sizes i.e. pim.vol once showed a 582 MB file size, etc...), and eventually an inevitable automatic hardreset.
- On my Elf, it causes the erratic behaviour as well as a corruption of my SDCard data and I ALWAYS end up having to format and start anew!!!!!!
Be advised, the "default value" for this reg value is a clean, big and round ZERO. As such, from my observation, this is UNSUITABLE for HD2 Leo stock T-Mobile ROM 2.10 either!
P.S. I'm already running an experiment on my HD2 with this tweak on. Already I'm experiencing erratic behaviours - icons disappearing from Sense, level1 highlights not showing, etc...

[SOLVED] Mobile pages doesn't fit the screen in Opera (9.7/10b2)

Hi guys,
Got an annoying problem with my Opera. Everytime when I'm loading special mobile-webpages such as m.spiegel.de, wap.bild.de, or m.espn.go.com these do not fit my screen and it is not possible to zoom out to make it fit:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Ticking mobile-mode diesn't help me out (and I also don't want it because I'm briwsking non-mobile websites (like XDA) also and that looks quite crappy in mobile mode. I also changed my UA in the registry to the one of Touch HD.
The pictures and also the written parts are always too broad for the resolution.
Do you all have the same problem? I'm using German 1.48 stock ROM. If you don't have the problem, how can I solve it for me?
Big THX in advance!!
Did you try Internet Explorer?
I like Opera a lot, but on mobile web pages it sometimes looks weird. On touch.facebook.com it doesn't always shows the space between sentences. Same on my Nokia N86, i prefer using the native Symbian browser when visiting m.something.com pages, rather than using Opera
Hi. Yes, you're right. They fit the screen perfectly in IEmobile. Good to know. But I'm still asking myself, why can't Opera do that?
Doesn't anybody else have that problem as well? Does nobody browse mobile-pages with HD2? Pleease help!!
I honestly don't know.
I like to nag opera with such issues
Good news: I solved the problem by myself!
The reason for the crappy displaying of mobile websites in Opera are the default Opera-settings by HTC...
For anybody who's interested - here's a step by step guide to change these settings:
1. Open Opera Mobile
2. Type opera:config into the adress-bar
3. Click the point "Adaptive Zoom"
4. Change the values to the following:
I guess that the only point that's really important causing my problem is the "Default Zoom" - by HTC it was 175% I think - 100% fit waay better into the screen...
5. Click "Save" right below the "Adaptive Zoom"-settings.
6. Restart Opera.
7. Because of the big WVGA-resolution it may be useful to go now into regular settings on the bottom right and tick the option for biggest font-size as possible...
8. DONE. After this procedure the pages (same as I capped in the initial post) look as they're meant to be - like that:
Hope that I could myybe help someone with the same problem like I had - as XDA helped me approximately for 1000 times.
Cheers.
Hi, this is exactly what I am fightning with....
In Opera, when I look at the adaptive zoom, set it to 100 (like you) it WILL not resize the browser window??
I cannot make it zoom so it will fit full screen widht?
I put in the same numbers like you - it still too wide. After changing the numbers, the screen where you type in font sizes gets VERY small?
Am I doing something wrong?
Helle
Don't know what causes your problem. With my configuration e.g. the normal settings-section in Opera gets quite small as well, but I guess that's because of the browser is not written for such a big resolution. What you can do is changing the font size. First in normal settings under "display" (don't know the exact name because I'm using a German device - take it analogously) - choose the biggest option for the font size; second you can edit the font sizes also in the aboutpera-area. I suggest just some experimenting (I realized, that when I tick lots of settings to default (not HTC's default) - it gets looking better and better - HTC just messed up the settings obviously...). You can after these experiments easily undo them, so feel free to test.
hmm strange, I cleared out the cashe, but that did not help either. Tried to set the default zoom to 90% - nada, does not respond ?
It is amazing that the phone company does not make default issues MUCH easier to config....
Can't figure it out ... evv
