I've already used the search function and can't find an answer.
I've enabled the AutoLock feature through Advanced Config, I find it pretty useful . The only big gripe I have about it is as soon as it locks, it return automatically to the Home screen tab on TF3D (for example if I'm on the music tab, then it locks, when I want to unlock, it's back on the Home tab). Also, if I'm running an app (like Opera), it'll automatically become minimized when it locks, and when I unlock it, I'm back at the Home screen tab and have to maximize the app again. It's a minor thing but can get quite annoying.
Any reg tweak to prevent the autolock feature from minimizing any runnign apps and returning to the Home screen when it does lock?
i guess no one knows?

I think I am going mad so forgive me.
Can someone help me to rotate the screen to landscape with the keyboard closed? IE. manually rotate the screen.
I can't seem to find the function anywhere.
or have I missed something?
Thanks.
Just rotate the device?!
This only works in certain apps, like picture etc.
I want the Home screen, and TT7 in Landscape when in the car, and turning the screen doesn't do anything.
Any help?
The Apps themselves need to support the Rotation of the phone by implementing a hook into the Accelerometer/G-Sensor.
Like said above, TouchFlo3D Pictures and Opera do this, but most other apps do not! Just need to wait for later versions or change to landscape mode manually - if supported!
Should be (although HTC may have removed it) in Start->Settings->System (tab)->Screen, and then change the orientation. It's possible HTC removed this functionality though...
I'm guessing that Mortscript will still work on the Touch.
You could use this to rotate the screen then call the app in question?
Then when you quit the app it'll rotate back.
I forgot the name of the app, but it allowed you to rotate the Diamond for any app or any situation in the phone. It should also be able to work on the Touch Pro then.
Its called GSen it works on diamond and probably it should work for this and if its not working just wait for new release.

They have removed this option, but you can bring it back with Schap's advanced config 3.0! I haven't tried it, but I've seen the option there!
Reg Edit to set Talk key to rotate screen manually
Here's a reg hack to manually rotate your screen, only when desired.
In Settings/Buttons/ one used to be able to assign a button to <Rotate Screen>. This feature is hidden on the Touch Pro.
To get it back:
Using a Registry editor, go to:
HKeyLocalMachine/System/GDI/Rotation
Change the "HideOrientationUI" from 1 to 0
Now you can remap the talk key to do this on long press.
Pocketpowermanager puts a little icon at the bottom of the Today screen which rotates the screen (and an icon for power off, and another for soft reset). It's a great application.
Hi there
Both Gens and Gyrator work well on the Touch Pro.
Just Bing them (at bing.com).

You can get an application called gyrator 2 which will allow you to rotate without sliding out the keyboard in any screen, so like you can use it in the start menu or anywhere else, http://pocketnow.com/index.php?a=portal_detail&t=news&id=6068
When I had the Romeos 1.40.1 ROM I had setup my phone (Using advanced config and perhaps a registry tweak, I can't remember) to lock itself when I press the power button.
Now with the proven ROM 1.0.4 my phone doesn't lock at all. The power button just turns the screen off, and when I press it again it just shows my password lock, not the actual device keylock which I want. Also, sometimes after I unlock the password lock, the backlight is still dimmed until I lock and unlock the phone again.
Perhaps it's because the ROM has advanced config and Diamond Tweak.
My question is, how can I get it working so when I press the power button, the device is keylocked, and after a timer of say, 30 seconds, the device is auto keylocked. I know I did this without some special software such as S2U2 or PocketShield. I want it setup how I had it before without that.
Regards
Apply the tweak again?
Keylocking is really problematic with TP. I've tried Sensorlock, Pocketshield but software keylockers get slow sometimes, especially when I am recieving a call. This makes no sense because using a PocketPC as a phone is preferable option . So I'd also prefer original keylocker but it locks always during a call so I dont get instant access to calendar which is my main goal of using a smart phone btw...
I am looking for an option whereby one can tap the screen to wake up device after lock. I tried to look for this setting but it isn't anywhere in the settings, its only for the hardware keys. Since I am using S2U2 I thought this would be useful, but the only way seems to be using the power button, anyway of using the tap on the screen to bring up the S2U2 interface? Thanks in advance.
I've got a different oppnion of usefulness in this case... I'd hate the thought of the PDA activating in my pocket waiting for me to unlock it, the screen always on is a miniature black hole for the battery...
I don't think there's a feature that would enable this, or any 3rd party program that would help you do this... but then again maybe I'm worng...
I agree with you, the only reason that prompted me to look for this option was because I installed S2U2. Now when I want to unlock device I have to switch on power before I use S2U2, whereas it would have been more convenient if I were to only tap the screen and the power turned on. Anyway S2U2 has an option to power down which can be set for seconds, there by saving battery power too. Strangely this option was there when I was using the XDA Wizard on WM 5. Maybe they removed it in WM 6?
Sorry, I don't know about that, I've never used S2U2 before, and I never will because when I want access to my PDA then I want it now, without any delays... but even if it has a power down option it wont help if its the pocket of my jeans...
Hello All,
Is there somehow a option that the touchflo 3d software goes back to the homescreen after X amount of time?
Fe. if you select the weather tab, it stays there untill you decide to choose another tab.
I would like to see that my device goed to the home tabe after a certain time.
thanks for the help.
THere is a way, apply the lock feature to lock after a period of time. When you then come out of standby (even if the phone hasnt locked yet) it will always revert to home screen.
As i use exchange mail, i have to use the lock feature and this happens all the time. I actually want it to stay on the tab i was last using, useful when playing music on music tab.... but it cannot be for me
ps start/settings/all setting/personal/lock incase you didnt know, then choose the time period you want to lock.
Hi guys
I have an maybe simple question but havent find anything satisfying.
The thing is, that I don't like the Lock Screen when turn off my Desire. With the Extended Control and some other apps its simple to disable the lock screen, but from there on all hardware keys (home, back, volume, ...) turn on the device, which is not really what I want.
So my question is, is it generally possible to disable the screen lock and just use the power-button to wake the device.
I currently use the LeeDroid Mod v1.4. The standard behavior is the same like obove with disabled screen lock. I found to disable it I just have to remove /system/usr/keylayout/curcial-oj.kl. Worked great with enabled screen lock.
Modifying the other *.kl files doesn't help.
Hopefully you understand what I mean
and could give me some hints
bye
