Running IGO8 8.3.4.102680, default skin. It's working quite well on my stock AT&T Pure except (always and except, right?) for one problem -- while in 3D mode following a route, the zoom out ("-") button on the screen zooms IN!
Anyone experience anything like this? I usually rely on the 2D views, but 3D is rather nice at times. I'd like to be able to zoom out to get an overview of the surrounding area. I have a sys.txt file, but I'm not sure how the 3D options work.
thanks
Jim
Press once on the center of the screen (dont drag or you'll go in to scroll mode) once you're on the map screen or 3d screen. Icons will pop up at the side and presets at the bottom will appear.
use the presets and it should be fine, if not go into settings and into navigation and turn off automatic overview
EDIT: Sorry, i just realized your problem was about the zoom button not working, i would edit it out but it wont hurt to leave it i guess >< lol
as for your situation, no i have not experienced it

Ever since I've had my SDA, I've wondered how cool it would be if I was able to rotate PIE so that I could use the wide part of the screen to render pages. Looking at squished pages lengthwise looks very uncool. I'd rather have nicely rendered wide pages (with more scrolling required) than squished pages.
Does anyone know if this is possible. In the old days when I played with Opera, I thought it was possible to rotate the screen. But that's a fuzzy memory I can't bet on.

Thanks for the link. I guess I was looking for a way to just rotate the app, and not the whole phone screen.
Does anyone know if this is possible to do with Opera?
What do you mean rotate the app, and not the whole phone screen? Does it makes any difference?
Since WM6 supports screen rotation, we already got it working on Tornado using Vox driver, except for the fact that there is problem with screen rotation and the joystick orientation.

What I mean is that if I exit out of PIE, I want my phone to look "normal" and not in landscape mode. What I want is what Media Player or TCMP does when you do a "full screen." It rotates the display so you're seeing it in widescreen mode, instead of portrait.
I don't think that this is possible to do with opera or ie. The only way to go is to rotate the whole phone screen.

This is what I do, I downloaded AE Button Plus and Tornado Display Manager. I set to Vox DLL using TDM, then using AE Button Plus, I configured to hold right soft key to rotate screen, so after that I just have to hold the right button to rotate the screen, no need to go through TDM, hassle free
Files maywe..?
Karhoe, and all others..
Happy to hear that, you guys could bring this all down to one long keypress, configured via AEBPlus.. I had a look on the posted material here, and it looks pretty confusing. Karhoe, and others, if you couls just post the needed files, with a simple readme, in a single zip file, would be much obliged...
Thanks bud, for all your work..
Apologies if this has been thoroughly covered, I went back 4-5 pages in each forum but didn't see anything.
From what I can gather from reviews and youtube videos the D-pad on the Touch pro works like a standard D-pad, and when in opera can be used to zoom in by circling it with a finger like a click wheel on an Ipod. Is it possible to modify it to work as a scroll wheel instead of a "zoom wheel". I know this isn't an option out of the box, but is it something that's possible, or being worked on?
I'm considering from the tilt, and while I've convinced myself that I don't need the hard left and right buttons, or the email & browser buttons, I'm not sure I'll be able to get used to working without any kind of jog dial/scroll wheel.
I think it's been asked and the answer is not yet.
The D-pad is one of the things I really don't like about the phone though, the buttons are all on the same plane, not separated in any way, and that makes it very difficult to differentiate the d-pad from the home/back/send/end buttons. I didn't find it was a problem until playing games, when I kept minimizing the window by hitting the Back button.
oh... the touch pro has a d-pad??? omg ive had the phone for almost a month and i only just discovered it. i thought it was just a scroll thing. its really hard to press though..

Well I don't really play a whole lot of games on my phone, but I do read a lot of really long email threads, and more importantly, when I'm bored I read sites like overheardinnewyork.com which is basically a lot of text to scroll through.
I'm getting the feeling that I'm going to have to find a way to "play" with a TP and see if I love it or not. I went 8125, x01ht, tilt, and now I'm looking to upgrade. but if this phone isn't going to rock me, I'll hold out (for what I don't know).
As much as I like flashing new roms to my tilt, it seems all anyone does is try to rip the best features from other phones...so at some point I might as well just get the other phone.

Hmmm, looks promising. Have you tried it? I just can't imagine I'd ever use the zoom feature, although up to now I've used opera mini, so perhaps after switching to opera mobile I'd change my mind. But I'm still pretty sure I'd prefer to double tap the screen to zoom, and have another means of scrolling.
I have tried it and it works well for contacts (useful), programs etc but does not work with my Yahoo inbox (possibly due to the ROM I am using - ROmeOS v1.22) and it does not replace the zoom in opera. You can set up custom applications in DiamondTweak so it may be possible to overcome any differences between ROM's by setting up a custom application. I do use the zoom in opera so wouldn't want to replace it.
You can still double tap to zoom in/out on opera, as well as the wheel - the wheel lets you zoom in/out in small increments, double tapping toggles between full page and zoomed in.

Think about this, with Opera Mobile you'll only have 2 levels of zoom ("in" or "out") unless you use the wheel to zoom. I liked being able to use it to fine tune and get things to look just right, but that's me. Try it out and see what you think.
With newer versions of Opera Mobile, there is now an on-screen zoom slider that adds a "tap and slide" button for incremental zooming. Now I find myself wanting an alternative to scrolling, since my finger otherwise covers up part of the screen and might accidentally click a link. Unfortunately the arrows and dpad don't scroll the page but instead jump from link to link.
This has been one detail (although a minor detail) that has made be begin to consider replacing my TP with the X1, since the X1's optical sensor dpad apparently provides scrolling functionality.

use advance config 3.3 ........search for the link
go to options, click smart touch and it allows you to add any application, where in touch wheel (above D Pad) can be used for scrolling......i use it for contacts, file manager, program, call history, phone window, mails, messages and its really usefull and very cool........i dont use it for opera and internet explorer and use it for zooming as put in default

Thanks for the info. As I said, I haven't picked up the TP yet, I'm holding out for the Fuze (or a reasonably priced GSM model).
To change gears a bit, I'm curious, what kind of difference do people see in using cooked Roms on this device. I only ask because as a Kaiser user I'm used to using Roms because they incorporate features from the latest equipment. But as this is among the newest models out, and a "flagship" phone so to speak...is there much of an advantage over say a stock ATT rom minus the bloat? I enjoy high level of customization, and being able to pick my features, but as this is a relatively new device, I don't want to go through the trouble of unlocking and flashing if there isn't going to be a real gain in performance/features, or if it's going to impact performance (like trying to run Manilla 2d on a Kaiser, and pretending that a 5 second screen rotate time is ok)
PS: just for the record, despite my incredibly low post count, I've been lurking on the board for ~2 years...I'm not some (I hate this word) newb asking "what rom is best" or "can someone explain to me how to XXX reading the Wiki is too much work"...just wanted to throw that out there.
Volume buttons for scroll
Review on wmexperts of Sprint Touch Pro has the information below in the comments area. Looks like the reviewer followed up with the statement that he used AE Buttons to remap the volume buttons on the side, where the scroll wheel is on 8525/Tilt to scroll up and down with each click. I don't have Fuze, but it seems like this would work on it as well, I don't think it's a free softare though.
http://www.wmexperts.com/reviews/smartphones/review_24_hours_with_the_sprin.html
Buttons: I have successfully used AE Buttons to successfully remap the volume up and down buttons. I have the volume down button set at one click to scroll down and a log click for OK/Enter. The volume up button is set at one to scroll up and the log click Alt/Tab Wisbar's switch utility. I have also remapped the Back button to OK/Enter. The Home button now brings down the Start Menu on a single click and Email when I hold it down. This has made life a lot easier and has in virtually increased my available hardware buttons to a more comfortable level of usable buttons.

How have you managed to get AEButton working on your home button?
I found that the home and back buttons seem to be "hard coded" to do their tasks, and AEbutton only assigns an *additional* task to each button. In other words, when I press Home for start menu, it first goes home, and then opens start. If I map the back button to Camera, it first goes back an application screen, then launches camera. Very annoying. The only buttons I found AEButton works with is the vol up and down. Is there a trick I'm missing?
I dont know if this exists, but I've done some searching and havent found anything.
Would there be a way to make the home screen slide screens vertically instead of horizontally? In a way that it would stop at the end of the new screen, not continue scrolling, would also be good.
This is just an idea, But I think it would be pretty cool. Maybe if we could even incorporate both horizontal and vertical, so your home screens would be above / below / left / right!
Even better. What if we had tilt abilities to choose apps!!
Instead of going up down left or right, just tilt your phone to areas of a map sort of thing and have apps in different areas to find them
Still no answer, please guys
Hello All,
This is my first post and I don't know if I out of the line for asking this, or am I violating any rules.
I been looking and searching in the HD2 form here in XDA-developers since I got my HD2 about 2 month now. There is one thing I don't quite understand: how the full landscape works for home screen.
I seen post that said the theme have to support the landscape mode, but is there anyway to adjust the phone to make all themes runs in landscape mode?
If there is what program I need and what I need to do?
If possible please let me know.
Thank you all in advance.
i'm not sure if this compatibility is built into the energy rom i have flashed to or if it is available on all stock roms...try this and let me know what you get. press start(or windows button) /settings/personal/buttons...choose the long press hold option for the send key and choose rotate screen option from the list of choices. you can manually press and hold the send key when you want a landscape view of your app or theme... also if you search bsb tweaks this app is able to configure auto rotation of apps via the g-sensor... hope this was of some help.
Or take a look here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=637671
23/2 -10 TX_Total_Landscape.cab -does what the name says, total landscape means also startmenu
Install this and try it.
Great let me try to mess around with it.
or what you can do is just get the bsb tweak, go to the rotation section -- select the options to rotate and head to the home screen and shake the phone. bsbtweak will recognize what you want to rotate and then restart the phone.
there you go... rotated home screen.
i tried all that, but it only display left half of the screen. does the theme i use have to support landscape mode for it to work?
I have copied the folder I had MAMECE3 (mamece3 dot mameworld dot info) installed on - onto the sd card in my HD2. The program runs fine, but the problem is the buttons. I see that morphgear has an onscreen d-pad - is it possible to add one to this? This is the one thing I really miss from my old Axim x51v - a d-pad!
They have the source code available. This would open our devices up to yet another whole world of 1,000s of games. I would love to see moonpatrol, pacman, tapper and asteroids running yet again. And with freeware ;-)
note: anyone else have a favorite game they used to run on MAME?
You just named all my favs..... I'd love to see the MAME come to the HD2.
Try with LMT (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=629263): among the other features it sports a good trasparent multi-touch onscreen controller, that can be used either on portrait and landscape mode.
It should overcome your problem (and be much more playable...).
By the way SEGA and Capcom games were the best!
OK tried it - nothing.
More detail - I installed it as per the instructions (on the device). If i run it, it just takes me back to the home screen. No findger swipes do anything other than the regular sense ones. I checked the task manager I don't see it running. I wonder what it takes to call it up other than just clicking on the shortcut.
So, I ran MAME. after a short time the game chooser menu comes up. It is at this point that I can set the buttons for different things, but nothing as far as LMT is concerned. So I go back and run it thinking maybe it is not running in the background (esp. since it never shows up in the task manager). Ahhh (wait for it ......) still nothing.
Kind of disappointing. I can start a rom, enter coins, but that is it - without my beloved d-pad i miss soo much.
Any other ideas?
Quick report back. Went over the thread again. Saw what I was doing wrong with LMT. It is a double swipe thing. I see the double swipe etc. on the Home screen. If you drawing a box with your finger the console comes up. I have had that up while trying to configure the buttons. I was even able to configure all of the buttons to taps on the LMT console (up = up, A for exit game, etc.) - no success.
When the game starts it is still lokking for the hardware keys and not the software ones - even though they are set in the button configure menu of MAMECE.
Please let us know if anyone else was able to get it working.
I succesfully mapped buttons 1 and 2 on LMT Controller, but not the others. Directional keys work perfectly.
My problem is that with the LMT Controller in portrait mode the only visible section of the screen during game is under the controller, while on landscape mode all is visible but it's really unconfortable!
And unluckily MAMECE3 doesn't support screen in landscape mode!
I've to figure out something else...
OK If you are interested in this. The LMT controller works great (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=629263&page=67) go there get it - DONATE!. note: this is the latest page - it is on page 1. Use it in landscape mode. You just have to have it off when going to button settings - then do the square to open it - set the buttons. Hit the x to close it and save your settings.
Start the ROM you want - restart the controller.

YES it does. Click on options > Rotate Right and it will work just fine. It took me a while to figure this one out. Also, if you delete all of your config files in the cfg directory it will use your default settings for everything. One thing I did was, change the one player button to the back arrow (hard key) less problems that way.
Remeber that left arrow then right arrow is "OK"
