ooo thx Skwyk

hi. I Disabled MIS1 device using FdcSoft task manager and now I tried to enable/start it again but it just shows error..and now my screen wont get portrait or landscape (depending on where I filp the universal upon soft reset). It will remian at one orientation.
I deleted the exe.file & replaced with another version of the task manager but no success.
Is there any other task managers that i can enable the MISI again? pls help.
p.s. It seems I can't use the cab file "show rotate icon' after using this..

thank you all for your help.
after disabling the automatic rotation, i couldn't turn it back on but for me it's perfect just the way it is now.
thanks.

I like portrait mode, but after using camera it's stays in landscape and i need rotate back to portrait manually

It's a task manager bug, ask the authtor, he's somewhere here

I asked the question and got a working answer:
To re-enable the MIS1: device, set it as automatic using the Task Manager. Then use the registry editor (also in the task manager) to remove the following Keys
"HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\OEM_Misc\Flags"
and
"HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\OEM_Misc\Default Flags"
wait a few seconds, exit the task manager, wait a few more seconds and then soft reset. When the device comes back, automatic screen orientation is once again enabled. I suspect that its just a small bug in the program, and now I have a work-around I'm very happy, but I hope the author does produce a new version

this answer came a bit too late...i did it the hard way.."sprite backup"...anyway..auto switch orientation is actually pretty cool, except, when i flip it during an incoming call..it tends to "lag"...and the call gets unanswered!!! now the problem is...i can't seem to put back the default "show screen orientation" cab file for the tray bar icon!

I've just had a play, and adding a dword value of 1000 (hex) with the name of Flags to HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\OEM_Misc\Flags has stopped the auto-rotation, but the little icon on the today screen still works - best of both worlds for me.
Cheers,
Steve.

Looks like there may be unwanted side effects. Sometimes the screen's backlight times out, despite having that setting switched off, but it does come back on if you touch the screen, and sometimes the screen doesn't go off when you close the clamshell. :-(

Problem with Large Start menu on non HTC devices

hi there!
I downloaded JUVS HTC Large Titlebar and HTC Enlarge Start menu CABs and installed both on my E-TEN M800 (VGA).
They installed fine and I now have the "large start menu" item in my system settings.
But when I check the checkbox to turn it on, it still doesnt enlarge.
I rebooted the device and still nothing. I basically only need the zooming of the notification icons in the start-bar.
have I missed something? do i need additional files?
thanks
Bernhard

the old one just for QVGA, try this one, but dun know can it work on ETEN

thanks, but it doesn't work.
maybe it needs touchFLO so its only activated when you use the finger? or something like that?

No touchflow wouldnt make a difference on this. Unfortunatly some of the items on here will only work with HTC devices and i think this may well be one of them im afraid. Unless anyone else can shed any light

Tried the Large Start Menu once on my iPAQ, and what I found was that the service (htcStartMenuService.dll) doesn't automatically start. Using DotFred's Taskmanager to manually start the service made the large start menu appear... until the next soft reset.
The same thing probably happens with the large titlebar thing.

thanks ridolfo, this works!
now i have to find a way to start it automatically on reboot
makes my e-ten even more userfriendly!
edit: i just added this nice and useful taskmanager to my StartMenu and on reboot, i open it, go to the services tab and click the little start icon for the LargeTitleBar service. thats it.
works like a charm.

IIRC, you can even open it on the services tab, using a command-line switch. Have a look in the "About" screen for possible command-line switches (I think it's in the "About" screen, but I'm not sure).
I'm still hoping that someone can explain why some of the HTC services do auto-start, but others don't.

yes, because when you install the LargeTitleBar it correctly creates its entry in the Registry and is bound to be started, but somehow it doesnt.

In my brand new HTC Touch Cruise, large menu option is ticked, but after playing around with apps or settings it becomes small, allthough it's still ticked. I have to disable and reenable it to make it big again. It's a bit of a problem, as it happens often. Advice would be appreciated.

same problem
couldn't this problem be fixed by some registry entires ?
I mean to put an application into autostart shouldn't be a problem, well for me, as a hardcore newp it is acutally, but maybe not fo you guys
on my xperia x1 i've got the same problem .

Hi! at all!
Have you found a solution?

Autolock

Hello,
I am looking for a program that automatically locks my touch pro as soon as I put it in standy, with the on/off button. Because normally my phone is on vibrate and when I take him out of my pocket again it has typed text messages, called people etc etc.
Thanks!
Bob

Search for S2U2, Pocketshield, Throttle Lock, Touch Pro Lock... There are plenty of these programs on XDA.

You can also use AdvancedConfig to enable autolock if you don't want to install any 3rd party software.

I hate to report that yes, you are lol. It's under the "Screen" set of options in Advanced Config. Once you enable it, it's exactly wat ur looking for, no need for other battery draining 3rd party apps lol

since this thread is already started, i didn't want to start another one. does anyone know of any way (like tweak) to prevent the built-in autolock feature from minimizing all programs? for example, i'll be on opera, have to get sumwhere quickly so I press the power button to put on standby and enable the autolock, and when I turn teh screen back on, the TF3D Home screen is showing, and opera will be minimized. can get pretty annoying if ur in the middle of doing something important on the phone lol

I'm not seeing it either. Version 3.3 and only thing under screen related to lock deals with the backlight.

Whew!! I thought I was going nuts. I was sure that it was not there. I was using NATF's 2.2 ROM and installed ADV config 3.3. There was not an auto lock option. However, this week I flashed to RRE's v4.4 ROM which has adv config preinstalled and there is an option for Auto Lock and to set the delay. I am pretty sure that they were both version 3.3 so i am not sure what happenend.
Oh well. It is there now.
cj

i am using pdacorner rom v17, and in advcfg, there isn't any autolock, in screen, What should i do

In ACT 3.3.0.0 under Screen, the 4th item is called "Auto device lock". Put it in Enable and you have what you want

I'm not seeing the option for 'Auto Device Lock' either, and I'm running Advanced Config 3.3.0.0 as well.

I have downloaded advanced config 3.3 from schaps and it does not give me the option to set the autolock either. I have also used a version packaged with RRE's 4.4 ROM and that did have the option. So I must be doing something wrong but i am not sure what.
But if you want to set it you can always try Diamond Tweak. that gives you the autolock option also.
Hope this helps
cj

Yes, thanks very much for the tip about Diamond Tweak. That worked perfect.

The only problem with this autolock feature is that it's still pretty easy to answer a call inadvertently. Ohter screen locks make it more difficult to answer a call by accident.

I can't get AutoLock Screen v 1.7 to start... I've installed it, soft-reset, made the settings, pressing the "Cancel" button...
...and my OMNIA is getting locked with the "traditional" way, the left bottom button "Locked" appearing and if I'm pressing it another button in the middle of the screen appears.
WHERE IS THE BLOODY AutoLock Screen v 1.7??? Why doesn't starts?

Black screen where TF3D should be at startup..

I'm not sure what happened, but I've been noticing that now when I boot up my VZW TP2, the launching touchflo 3d screen pops up, then goes away and there is nothing but a black background and the windows taskbar.
The black screen looks like a program with an all black background and no text/content, it has an X in the upper right hand corner and I can click that X to reveal TF3D.. I can also click anywhere on the screen and/or END key and reveal TF3D.
This happens at startup every time now.
Things I've done since I noticed the problem;
Installed HDBoobs
Installed Diamond Halogram w/ ATi Graphics Driver
Put HTCAPI.dll in the \windows\ directory
Installed .NET CF 3.5
Installed Schap's Registry Editor
Installed J.S. Advanced Configuration Tool 3.3
Installed Ilium Software Screen Capture
Installed Windows Live (newest version)
Installed Microsoft Facebook Application
Did '7MP Panorama' Tweak
Did 'Reveal 5 Hidden Camera Settings' Tweak
Things I've done after noticing the problem;
Installed Microsoft ICS
Installed Garmin MobileXT
Did 'Close Opera with X instead of minimize' registry mod
Did 'ResProxy ShareMemSize=0' registry mod
Installed NoPushInternet
EDIT 1:
I've now removed;
'ResProxy ShareMemSize=0' registry mod (slowed me down too much)
HDBoobs
Diamond Halogram w/ ATi Graphics Driver
Nothing has changed.
EDIT 2:
I had it setup to be password protected. After removing the password option and soft-resetting, the problem is gone. Is this a bug? Is there a fix for this? I know it seems minuscule, but this isn't how it should work and I want to fix it
I'd like to avoid doing a hard reset if possible.. so any advice, other than 'ignore it' would be appreciated.

I think that I have the same thing happening. I don't think that it was like this out of the box, but I'm not sure when it started. Basically, my phone loads showing the taskbar at the top and the two soft keys at the bottom. Everything in between is black. If I touch the screen, then the TouchFlo stuff shows up. After that, it's fine.
I do have a lock code enabled. It was forced by an Exchange Server policy. Not sure if this "issue" arose at that point or not.

I asked the same question here... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=560636
Seems to be related to having the PIN lock enabled. I too am required to use this for work reasons, and have not found a way to get TF3D to display on boot up without having to touch the screen.

At least we're not alone.. now it's a known issue, hopefully someone will look further into it (since I don't know how to fix it)

Here too
First I installed XDA shutdown to perform soft resets. Then the memmaid demo to further my efforts to be clean & mean. Just installed s-k-tools to my HTC Sprint Touch Pro 2 (because memmaid demo misreported my memory!)and after running clean I'm getting cprog.exe & sktools.exe errors and now "bluetooth stack failed to load" -my friggin bluetooth wont load. Only other non stock thing is Duttys disable push internet. Did I make a mistake in purchasing this tweakware? Can I rectify these situations without a hard reset? Somewhere along the way the black screen thing occurred too.

Do you have a password-required device lock setup? If so, and you're getting the black-screen issue just after you unlock your phone when you first boot it up (from an off state), then you're probably in the same boat as us..

interesting. I don't have the code, and I've never seen this. Then again other software installed might make a difference.

Any Way to stay in keypad mode during call?

My screen goes crazy. During a call up to my ear it flips to horizontal, changes out of key pad view and not always to mute/speakerphone... keys view, sometimes to contact info, and can be a nightmare to get back to "end call." I've found times when the caller hung up but the TP2 put them on hold and kept my time going.
Any programs and or reg hacks to:
1) stop the horizontal flip when placed to an ear, and
2) keep it in keypad mode or general call mode?
Real pain when dialing into a system that requires keypad responses. Everytime I put it back to my ear I have to go through a crazy sequence to get back to the key pad.
This is my only complaint wth this phone, it's not easy to use as a phone!
Thanks.

I have the same problem when dialing into VM, or into any call queue. I looked through the registry a bit. Didn't see anything obviously labeled.

yeah me too. Only thing I could find was using Gyrators' exception list to not rotate the phone, but it wasnt 100% reliable. I would *LOVE* to find a way to stay in keypad mode too.

Hi All - I guess I'm just jumping on the bandwagon but I have the same issue and find it annoying. I loaded the 'incall screen tweak' but that didn't work. Any help more seasoned members than I could offer would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers!!!

I had the same issue too, whenever I put my phone up to my ear (left handed) it would go into landscape. The fix is simple but you have to edit a registry setting. I'm going by memory here, so please forgive the vague info
1) make sure to backup your reg info
2) using your favorite reg edit program, goto
HKCU\Software\HTC\HTCSENSOR\GSensor\Whitelist
3) now this is the part I kind of forgot, you need to find a string with the DATA value that includes "phone" or "dailer"
4) delete that string
5)soft reset and give it a try, the phone shouldn't go into landscape whenever you turn it during a call.

OK, I went where you said, but no dialer, and only phone entry is:
Phone/Lock/Compose/Picture
String= Dialog
And deleting this stopped "lefty" in call flipping? Doesn't make sense to me. Doesn't seem to only control dialer or phone.
Please confirm or anyone out there please help. I don't want to delete something don't understand.
Can I simple change Dialog to something like "Zero" or "0"?

That's it! forgot what the process name was, but yeah, deleting that stopped the phone from trying to change to landscape during a phone call. Deleting that will tell the G-Sensor not to change the orientation of the phone's screen during a phone call, however it also tells it not to change the orientation during a picture (which wasn't a big deal for me cuz I can change it when I view them in windows). You can always look up the process in google or even the forum search tool if you're still scared.

If anyone else is interested I tried a "partial" delete of the suggestion above. I created a new string leaving out the Phone.
Lock/Compose/Picture
String= Dialog
deleted old string with phone/....
So far no more "lefty" crazy problems, and pictures seem to appear in landscape.
Here's hoping all is OK!

Awesome, good job!

I installed Gyrator 2. Just create a new event with the phone as the application. Nothing for orientation, nothing on stylus, and rotate screen for actions. Then promote the event to the top. Highlight your new phone event and select orientation, it will have a check mark and a number one next to the event. It hasn't failed on me yet and I use the key pad all day long with my job!

I just upgraded to the Verizon official WinMo 6.5 and the registry hack doesn't seem to work anymore, and I'm having issues getting Gyrator to work, has anyone resolved this issue for WinMo 6.5?

I haven't had any of the issues with the 6.5 upgrade that were mentioned with 6.1. Haven't needed to add S2U2 since the screen lock is built in and the phone is much more responsive when placed to the ear and then moved away to access the keypad. It's not perfect but vastly improved over 6.1...
I guess my point is try it the way it is with 6.5 and see if you thinks its better. leave gyrator and reg hacks aside for a few.
