Hi guys,
Pardon my lack of knowledge in the subj. but do we have any app/ theme which can make use of the accelerometer and switch all the screens b/w Pot and Land mode. If possible please direct me to some writeup on how to do it.
Regards
go for FlipIt. Its the fastest rotationapp there is. PM me if you cant find it...as i am on my ppc
im using the screen rotation from AEButton, its awsome how i can rotate with just one button press =D
I think gyrator might be what your looking for, It worked fine for me...
try bsb tweaks awesome app and does a lot more than just turn the screen around such as zoom on all programs and other tweaks that make the htc hd2 a whole lot better. im not allowed to post the link to you as i am a new user myself, but search for
BsB Tweaks 1.6
and you should be able to find it
get Graytor 2 it rotate EVERY windows

In a bit of a n00b when it comes to these sweet cooked roms. (my first decent phone in a while)
I currently have the Hyperdragon III rom on my Tilt now, And I LOVE it!! Great work man!
I have spent many a nights at work (network engineer) customizing it the way i like it.
But I am looking to find one that supports landscape as well, as that one gets wonky when in landscape mode.
Whats the best one for my tilt?
Thanks guys in advance.
What do you mean supports landscape? All devices support landscape.
Please, either post your request in that thread or go through the ROMs offered here and choose the one best to your likings.
I think he means which kaiser rom with Manilla 2D, that supports landscape.
Anyway, to answer your question, Solace 1.5 by Mbarvian has a landscape menu, but it takes a few seconds to kick in, and can take even longer when you close the keyboard because it has to re-launch TouchFlo.
Your other option is to edit your XML file(s) to better compensate for landscape. There are a few threads on how to do this. Since Manilla 2D does not support landscape at all, xml editing can't resolve every issue, its more of a workaround at best.
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.
This is my first post here and I am not writing a lot of threads...
Therefore, please accept my apologize for not using the correct thread name/title for this. Hope [Q] is correct for a question. Oh, and you might have already recognized that I am not native english...
My question is:
Thanks to the help of all the great developers here, I was able to find a lot of really good programs and tools here which make my HD2 the gadget of my dreams. I have tested A LOT of tools for my device and spent a lot of time to find out the "best configuration and setting". However, I can not figure out the following by myself:
I tested the well known BSB Tweak (Version 1.6) and the HD2 Tweak (English Version 1.2.0) Both have their good parts: BSB has this great Rotation option and "MAnila Left Softkey change". HD2 Tweak allows me to disable the annoying Phone Keypad sounds (this is important for me) and allows me to set A-GPS (although I have to admit that I didn't yet figured out what the activation effects-isn't it the same as using QuickGPS???). and some other
stuff...
I remember reading that it is not recommended to have both applications running.
(What a long introduction...) The Question:
Does anybody know for sure if these two programs are interfering each other?
In addition I have installed the Chainfire Patch (which is great for games) and the "TX 3d Performance Update" which I found here:
[REF] [Sense 2.5 tweaks & mods][CABS] Thread
(I can not post direct links)
(second post, dated 26th February)
Do they interfere? Can I install both? I worry that I might install "too much" tweaks which claim to speed up my device but, in the end, slow it down because there are just too much tweaks running which collide...
EDIT: Just noticed that this was already asked by somebody else in the thread. Obviously, the 3d performance patch is replacing Chainfire. Does this mean I do not need to install chainfire at all?
Finally: Is there any cab somewhere to add the "ebook reader tab" to Manila?
I am using ROM 1.66.407.1 with Manila 2.5.19211619.0 and was, so far, only able to add the Manila TV Tab...
Thanks in advance for your help!
I am willing to offer something in return:
If anybody is interested (please let me know, otherwise I will not have to do this) I could write something like a "Guide to the ideal set-up for your new HD2". This "guide" is meant more for beginners who would like to have instructions which programs to install and which settings to made to have a great HD2. I know that there are a lot of threads around here with collections of programs and tools but there is not thread which says "Ok, your're a NOOB so just follow this guide and install these programs... and you are fine" . This guide will also include some nice hints which I did figure out by myself.
Anyway, please let me now if such thing would be a good idea. It will be a lot of work so I do not want to write it "for nothing" (if you know what I mean).
Thanks and, again, sorry for any mistake!

I first used BSB Tweaks 1.6. Later I came across HD2Tweaks 1.2 and installed that too.
Since both apps make changes to the registry, it would not be wise to run it at the same time
The hassle with BSB Tweaks is NCF 3.5 must already be installed prior to running it. Also, I noted that BSB Tweaks does not read the registry first upon running. I came across this when I had to re-load all my apps, patches and tweaks recently. I first ran HD2Tweak to make the necessary changes and then ran BSB Tweaks to do screen rotation setting for some apps. That's how I found out.
Since I found replacement programs for screen capture and screen rotation which are features not found on HD2Tweak, I uninstalled BSB Tweaks 1.6.
I did not install the chainfire patch. Hence unable to make comments on it. I do play games though .

Which app are you using for screen capture.
I need to do a walkthru for a friend.
I have BSB Tweaks on and I'm kinda happy with it, but more is always better
Am I missing something?

You don't need any tweaks for this. It's an option for turning it off in settings. settings-menu-more-private-phone-keypad.

I am using pocket XNView, www.xnviewpocket.org
It has a screen capture feature in the options where one can set a timer for the screen capture to be triggered. There are a couple of other free standalone screen capture apps e.g. www.iliumsoft.com/site/fp/screen_capture.php I have downloaded this as a stand-by just in case I ditch pocket XNview.

hi,
i was just wondering what program you use to rotate your screen and if it works on the home page without giving you a half black screen like BsB....
would it work on mine - i havent added anything besides co0kie home tab?
thanks for helping a newb....

The screen rotation method I used is a program assigned to the left-hand button.
It cannot rotate the home screen for which I am fine with that.
did you ever get anywhere with your idea for 'noobs'? I would like some easier method to get all the basics that wont interfere with each other. Havent attempted messing with the registry until I get a little better feel for these things, but I probably should update my ROM-I think???
YES I would love a beginners guide. I can give it to my sister and everyone I know who has the HD2. I just got it and someone directed me here for tweeks but I've never done a tweek!!!
Hi,
I know that there has been many threads regarding landscape cabs for hd2 but I need ask this anyway. I have tried with a couple of cabs for enabling my hd2 for landscape mode but everytime I had an issue with the picture tab. This tab does not work at all, I cant see any pitures and after a while the phone gets laggy.
I have cookies home tab 1.7.1 , xda backgroung4alltabscookie hqwallpatch installed. It should not be anything to do with them right?
Could someone out there give me a cab which is working properly?
Thanks in advance. Appreciate your help.
Brgds
i need that cab file too..
Come on people, help me out here. Does someone have a cab which I could try? I dont wanna use the tx total landscape since I loose the pictures Tab. I want something that is fully functional.
Thanks
I have this cab that does landscape, but I forgot who made it and where its from. Sorry to whoever made it!

I have tried quite few landscape cabs before all had issues with picture and audio tab...same thing on this one or is it ok?
I have this problem too. My hope is that when it is posible to instal landsscape theme.... my problem will be decided. Or I have to instal new version of manila....but I`m too ignorant to do that
Also looking for a landscape cab that doesnt affect the pics & music tabs.....
Can some one help us..... PLEASE
I think that if I instal SPB 3.5 will solve the problem with rotation but sence look so nice

i'v just tried this cab but it messes up the music and pictures screens, the rest looks ok. i'v never really had intrest in having a landscape mode before but after seeing this i'd also like a cab that works without messing up the mentioned screens.....
I enabled landscape mode in Sense using BSB Tweaks and thought it worked but as I was shaking the phone to take this screen capture it flaked out and I had to soft reset. So I'm looking for an alternative too. Now that I think about it though, we will probably have to wait for a new version of Sense to come out to correct the issue.
I think the problem is in Manila - 2.5.19211619.0
That`s why have to make STATISTIK
If you have the same problem wich version of Manila you use ???
EDIT: Now I`m shure that is the problem (Manila). I`ve instal SPB Mobile Shell and there is no such of problem with my phone.
Hi everibody, so sorry to post a question where it's not allowed but the Q&A section for windows mobile doesn't exist anymore, so I didn't know where to post it.
I am an HD2 owner and for me it's simply perfect with windows mobile, the only thing is that in WM 6.5 and in sense 2.5 there are no smooth and fluid transitions. Don't know if I explained well what I mean. For example in Iphone, android or in any other new OS when I swipe left or right on the screen, the elements move gradually out of the screen and the new one enter gently. In Manila 2.5 no, there is a gap unless you use the manila . Is there a way to make this happen? The same thing when I press the start menu or when I turn the phone in landscape mode, or when I unlock it. I think that the lack of animated transitions make the OS look much older than it is.
Please, I'm asking a last effort to make this system awersome...
as you are using manila 2.5 the nearest to your request is Co0kie Home Tab 2.0. Then you can get in your home tab 7 screens to slide left & right, and 4 levels to slide up & down, and even put some widgets on it.
Other option is MaxSense, but never tried myself. I think you would need to flash a rom with Maxsense as is not provided as .cab
If you wish to try Co0kie 2.0 and need further help post question in the CHT thread.
Thank you for the reply =)
yeah, I'm actually using the HD2O rom with CHT and I noticed that there is the possibility to use widget in the home screen, but I was thinking of something more integrated in the system...for example I found WinStart (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=935808): this is an app that replaces start menu and adds the kind of animations for windows I was looking for. Unfortunately I found this program a little too buggy (some icons disappear and many icon names are changed) and very slow I hope it could be possible to continue in this direction, because I think that the idea is good, but in my opinion it isn't developed properly (those animations could be integrated in a cooked rom probably) and have a similar program for Manila too. It would be simply wonderful.
Of course those are only my suggestions, but I know that nobody would develop any further for windows mobile something like this because this OS is considered dead, but I still love it more than any newer one.
I'm using an energy ROM with CHT & find it very fluid for all functions really & far more flexible than iphone & a lot better looking than Android & many functions less clicks to access.
For the hardware spec of the phone & slow official development WM was & actually still is very very good, if you look at layout of Android & compare it to WM6.5.3 you will see a lot of copying by cheeky Google ...
I need viber software for hd2 plz help me
I need viber software for hd2 plz
Windows Mobile does have animated transitions, but they're generally disabled, as they're slow and ugly.
You can still get them back using the registry (I can find that for you), but you'll probably regret it.
BTW, as my much esteemed colleagues said already, HTC Sense and Co0kie's Home tabs extension prvide pretty nice animations and sliding screens already.
