i heard i can disable the whole sideways roation of the screen through regedit
i need to disable the album display when u tun the phone landscape because when i use an app to rotate manilla it goes off screen same with htc photos so is there a registry edit or an app i can use to disable it ? please help
First yes you can IMO. Although most ppl want it the other way around
I use PHM RegEdit (the original webpage does not load, but you can download the regedit.Mrln_ARM.cab there).
You do know that by editing the registry you violate the warranty <g>
Anyway goto this webpage;
http://pocketnow.com/wiki/HTC_Touchscreen_Registry_Edits#Homescreen
and find;
Bringing Manual Screen Rotation Back to the Touch Diamond
Here your quest begins.
Second when reading the above page my eye fell on;
'accelerometer screen orientation switching'
and IMO there is an application which shows all programs capable of turning to Portrait/Landscape mode, only I can't remember what it's called.. still searching.
BTW also take a look here;
XDA-Google-Search
Good luck

Hey all. I am having issues with my today screen on my HTC Touch Pro with Windows Mobile 6.1. I am uanble to change the Wallpaper at all. It is stuck on a Blue wallpaper. I have tried setting it from The today screen theme changer and from My Pictures but selecting the "Set as Today Screen Wallpaper" Option. The Wallpaper will not change. I am extremely frustrated with this. I have only had this phone for 5 days. Please help.
NOTE: I am Using SPB Mobile Shell V 2.1.1 Build 3507 for all my shortcuts. But my issue is with the Actual windows Mobile 6 Today Screen.
Change Wallpaper on Touch Pro
You need to go to the touch 3D settings.. its on the scroll touch bar after weather and internet etc. Thats where you change the wallpaper. I did a hard reset before figuring it out. Good luck!!
you can't change wallpapers while it's controlled by your theme file. in TF3D you can change the format of the plugin itself by inside configuration, as ninfem posted.. but if you want to change the today screen background you will have to find a tsk that doesn't contain a wallpaper
RE:Change Wallpaper on Touch Pro
This has nothing to do with TF3D I am not even using TouchFlo. See notes under original Post. I am using SPB Mobile Shell 2.4 . And I did fix it. I had to download the Registry editing tool and deleting the Fixed wallpaper Registry key. Do not remember the exact string but all is well now. Thanks for trying.

Hi can you please tell me how you fixed it. i am having the same problem

HTC Touch Pro Today Screen Issue: Fixed
I had to download the Windows Mobile Registry Editor. Found here http://freewareppc.com/utilities/phmregistryeditor.shtml and I searched for Wallpaper. It had an Embedded Wallpaper. I deleted the Registry key for the Embedded wallpaper and have not had a problem with it since. It has been months ago Since I did it so I can't tell you anymore than that but all you need is PHM Registry Editor. GOOD LUCK!
having the same issue. Deleting the registry key, turning off touch flo, and soft resetting at least 3 times now. Won't go away. Stuck on some stupid blue background I can't get it to go away.
solution for touch flo users
I know the original poster is not using touch flo (see regisry hack). For those of you using touch flo I did the following which worked for all of the themes. I unchecked use this picture as the background, under start settings today. Closed that window and from the main touch flo screen (home) I scrolled to the right and selected settings (looks like a gear) and then wallpaper. Select the wallpaper of your choice and it shows up. No soft reset or registry hacks necessary. Not very intuitive but it worked.
I'm having the same problem. Can't get rid of the background image in the Today screen (when mobile is in locked mode) and the background image in Settings > All settings.
I've installed PHM Registry Editor, but I don't really have the skills to fix it. Please let us know in this thread if anyone figure it out.
Can't really understand why this problem happens.
Weird! Now the normal Today background image is back. Can't understand why. This smart phone is smarter than me...
Still, the settings background is not the right image.
i have one of my photos saved as my backround wallpaper, i have deleted this picture, but it is still my backround and i cant change it. the only thing i have loaded is an analog fire clock (had to do a soft reset) what do i do, please help.
Resolution.
Peace of cake
HTC Touch Pro 2,
Settings, All settings - Press "Today"
Use any theme and any picture you want HOWEVER,
Under Items tab, YOU MUST CHECK "HTC SENSE" Press ok, you are set.
If you don't check this you get a blank wall paper or the other things you may have checked only. Really simple! :-D But yes I had to figure it out
Hello again.
Following the ROM update to Mitchyprima's 6.1 lite reloaded, I've been looking for apps and games that make use of the now active G-sensor.
So far I've found none.
The only thing it does at the moment is auto-rotate the screen when the device is turned.
I've installed lots of apps and games mostly designed for the touch and touch pro, but none of them work.
Can anyone tell me about any apps that are compatible with the X7510, or any dlls/mods I need to use to enable the G-sensor for accelerometer enabled apps?
Thanks.
i have an app called changer
you can add any app to the program and it will rotate is that what your looking for
You do not need any additional app to have rotation feature. This is already built in the ROM by Michy. You only have to go to G-sensor option and switch X7510 rotation on.
However if you are looking for some games and other apps then I can't help. I know GSen app for rotation, but now it is useless as we have it already and personally do not use anything else.
So nobody is using the G-sonsor for anything except rotating the screen?

I don't even use it for that! I find the automatic rotation a pain in the butt- it's so slow to repond that you have turned to device round and round waiting for it to happen, then it keeps rotating till it catches up with you
I've got AE ButtonPlus programmed to use the Home button to manually rotate the screen. Same with my Diamond- I use PocketPlus to manually rotate it
The screen also rotates to landscape when you put your X7510 on your keyboard.
I like is that way.
The only thing I might find usefull, is scrolling trough your web-browser with the G-sensor.
I don't know hoe accurate this is but you can measure the slope of a surface using the 'bubble level' concept.
Might be a demo but it is on a freeware site
I am using the G-Sensor Calibration for Diamond from this site and it works on the X7510.
Topic on that tool is here.
I've had a lot of issues with the screen constantly rotating on my fuze when i slide the keyboard out. Goes all the way from Monx>Pfcsabre>At0mAng and even self cooked roms in Da_G's kitchen. I never install any kind of g-sensor applications either. All i do is use the default calibrator.
A soft reset seems to fix it for a bit but before long it shows again. It's very frustrating while trying to type an sms/email and it keeps rotating from portrait to landscape.
I've tried to search for it...but if you put in g-sensor or screen rotate all ya get are apps. Has anyone else encountered this before?
Thanks

I did encounter with At0mAng's new ROM...... its too much in convenient that's why changed to my own build ROM. Its some thing to do with gsensor pack used or some drivers used from Diamond ROM( I cook my own ROM in AtOmang's kitchen)
Seems like u have Gyrator installed.... I use Energy Rom and it only rotates to the default orientation when the keyboard slides out... and exception of the new opera...
Package/Application [OEM]
Some applications, such as Opera, handle Rotation internally ... have a look at the .REG/.RGU as well as the .INI file(s). Also verify the OEM .PROVXML's asa some of them include changes to Opera behaviour.
As for other rotation in other applications, G-Sensor (aka Sensor SDK 4.0) provides the abilitiy to configure White/Black list entries. If you look at the G-Sensor 4 package I posted to the OEM Repository (4Shared), you will find a .PROVXML that allows you to quickly define entries for both lists.
The original values for the entries in the .PROVXML are found in the .REG/.RGU file.
HTH,

That the frustrating part. It does it without being in an app. I can have the phone sitting with nothing running and just showing the tf3d screen..slide out the keyboard and just watch it switch back and forth

Rotation for Phone Canvas and Manila are also definable entries in the White/Black list for G-Sensor 4.
If you're up to it, download the WinMO 6.1.21051 kitchen (and packs) and cook a ROM with the 21051_Test_ERV_Profiles.zip - use the thread paperclip to locate the attachment. It's the ROM profile that I currently use for my device.
The Manila version is 1.2.35845.1_1813.6; Landscape should display and 8 button selection page. If you experience erratic behaviour, it could indicate a hardware related issue.
HTH,
I've been in contact with Redshift about possibly adding 480x800 resolution support to The Quest, one of the better RPG games for WM. The reply I got wasn't great... they won't be supporting the WM version anymore. However, they did mention that 800x480 support works and is built in (aka landscape mode in HD2, HD, X1, etc.)
EDIT: See second post for instructions on how to get this to work.
I got it to work. Here's the instructions:
Install BsB Tweaks, The Quest v 1.04 (Not 1.03), and VGA Fix v.4 (The newest one that works with 6.5)
Start BsB Tweaks, and goto the rotation menu. Add File Explorer to the list of programs that can rotate, and soft reset.
Once phone is back on,use VGA Fix v.4, set res to VGA. start BsB tweaks, and go into the rotation menu. Add the quest to the list of programs that can rotate. Before closing The Quest, or soft reseting, go into the settings for The Quest, and select "Left Landscape" for view. Soft reset.
Now, once phone is back on, goto File explorer. Search out The Quest exe. (usually under program files\games\the quest\), rotate screen so file explorer is in landscape, and *double tap* (see note below) the quest. Congrats, your game should start, touch controls will work, and you wont need to use VGAFix to lose full screen. Let me know if it works for you.
NOTE: it seems that a single click on the exe won't always start The Quest. It will show the white "Starting the Quest" text, then exit back to the file explorer. Double tapping the exe works every time... got me as to why.
Thanks for the tip on the settings and starting the game via landscape mode file explorer. works for me.
where can we dl this game? is it free?
http://redshift.hu/
That's the homepage for the game. It isn't free, unless you do some searching. I will say that the game is worth the 10 bucks they are asking. I can easily waste 30 to 60 hours on a play through, not including the official expansion... or the multiple other 3rd party expansions. A new, free expansion was just released for it, in fact. If you poke around in the forums they list on the home page, you can find a ton of info on it. They do have a demo you can download and try.
I added this to the thread on "Games that work for the HD2". Anyone else try this? Just want to make sure it works for a few people.
Hi,

Same issue.
Where do i find this VGA Fix program?
Seems like the OP was talking about WVGA Fix 4.
Works on my TP2
Hey, thanks for the tip! Works like a charm on my Touch Pro 2.
Doesn't work well on my Omnia 2 - the game starts properly on a full screen but the controls are screwed both in start menu and the game itself (have to tap in competely different places than icons are placed, it looks like there is portrait layout of "clickable" places on a landscape display).
Has anyone found a fix for this?
Awesome tip. Worked on my TP2 as well. Like the tweaks apps too.
Hi,
I've been using my HTC Touch2 for a while now.
I decided to turn of the TouchFLO homescreen as it seems to use a lot of my free memory. I use a customized (used Home Screen Customizer - free from the marketplace) , default WM6.5 home screen now. It makes it faster ^^
The indicator raised from 45% to 70% in a day with all apps closed...
But TouchFLO also had a nice additional feature - all 'dropdown menu's ' or whatever you'd call it on a phone became way more touch friendly. (Those that open when holding your finger in file explorer for example, or when you click file in pocket word)
Is there a way to enable these menu's without enabling touchFLO?
I also prefer the HTC settings panels, that were only accessible from the TouchFLO home screen. I already found the sound settings (htcsoundsettings.exe) but I wonder if anyone knows more .exe files - for selecting backgrounds etc. Or a list of all files in the windows folder by default - it takes ages to load, when sorting is accidently set to 'File type' it takes like 15 minutes sometimes...
Also I'd like to add links to the settings menu of the start menu but so far I've only been able to add icons to the start menu or other subfolders and not the settings one
Thanks in advance,
JSO
Have you tried M2DCustomizer? If you mean saving up battery u might wana try custom roms
No, thank you for the link I'm sure it will help me.
But it didn't really help me out with my question - can I keep just the dropdown menu's without anabling TouchFLO/Manila2D from the Home Screen settings...

Hello, having read your message hope I understand well. You want a combination of features but foremost a lot of free Ram. Touch flow takes if I am correct 8-12Mb which your device should be able to handle.
This tweak will help you with Ram consumption aswell as regular soft reset or Ram cleaner.....several available on XDA.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\ResProxy\ShareMemS ize=0 (Increase free memory)
I agree with member Deepak that choosing a custom Rom offers best of both worlds. But also here you have to make the choice Touch flow or not.....having only parts is not possible (unless built in Rom).
Thanks all for your effort, but I think I finally found something:
/showthread.php?t=540922 (can't post link because my account is not approved )
This allows me to disable touchFLO while still using the nice menu's; downloading right now
Yeah, used this on my previous Rom (WM 6.1) aswell. Was not happy with the result since it did not work flawless.....dissappear after soft reset, not working with some programs etc.
But see if it works for you. Success.
