Youtube App in Landscape mode? - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps

Anybody smart enough to get the youtube app (version 2.6 standard installed by HTC) to be shown in Landscape Mode, I mean the Main Menu (not while playing a video because that is already in landscape mode)?

I just forced it into landscape using PLToggle (see in my sig ), but the application won't work like that. It just isn't coded to work in landscape I'm afraid.

Check: HKLM/Software/HTC/YouTube/EnableRotate
Set that entry to 1.
I had to do that to mine to make it work, hope thats the same for you.

Yes - that makes the app capable of rotation, but you still need to use something to rotate the app, so BsBTweaks is the simplest solution.
Nice find - thanks

Yeh, i believe all that BsB tweaks does is add items to the g-sensor white list, but yes BsB Tweaks is the best way to do it.

Nice guy's! Thanks!

certainly did! plus... i was the one who wrote this before bsb tweaks was even out: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=589570&highlight=rotating+registry
so i sort of know what im doing when it comes to rotation =)
im thinking this may be rom dependent? cant think of any other reason it didnt work if it does for you?!?! any ideas?

ahhh, fair enough
Only thing I can think of is the registry entry in your whitelist?
in mine its set as, YouTube with string of HTCYOUTUBE
Maybe, maybe not.

Are you talking about different versions of YouTube? Remember that there's the nice looking but limited HTC version that came with the phone, and then the ugly but with better functionality version that Google released a while back.
Edit:
Actually, scratch that because I can get both versions to rotate, so it's obviously nothing to do with that.

its all there... first thing i checked after adding it in with bsb.
maybe theres another class that needs to be added?
what is really weird here is after enabling rotate with your little reg tweak it should have worked straight away as i use gyrator 2 nowadays to rotate EVERY screen on the device regardless.
It doesnt even matter if i cant get it going... its not the end of the world... but now im simply curious as to why it works for others and not me?
maybe the rom has to be manila landscape enabled!?!?! that the only thing i can think of as i use a stock rom.

Got it to work and it works great.
Used all your registry tweaks:
Check: HKLM/Software/HTC/YouTube/EnableRotate
Set that entry to 1.
Check: HKCU\Software\HTC\HTCSENSOR\Gsensor\ModuleName
Add a new STRING Value:
Name: YouTube
Value: \Windows\Youtube.exe
Check: HKCU\Software\HTC\HTCSENSOR\Gsensor\Whitelist
Add a new STRING Value:
Name: YouTube
Value: HTCYOUTUBE
I am happy with it.
PS: I have Artemis V8.0 NLD Rom running in case it won't work on stock rom.

youtube landscape
Try Gyrator works on almost every app.

I have it rotating great....but anyone find that when youre watching a video you cant touch the screen...it wont respond?
And you need to flip back to portrait when the video is playing to be able to touch the screen?

Yes, that's true. Eitherway, it's a choice to have YT in landscape mode, and because the playing of the video was already set in landscape mode, it flips another 90 degrees. Therefore you cant select stop,pauze,back buttons etc.
So it's not that it doesn't respond, it does, but it cannot comply having a landscape view set to landscape mode.
The YT app just simple doesn;t understand.
Therefore you have to flip the phone back upright, for the buttons to re-appear.
Like I said, it's a choice wanting the YT menus be visible in landscape mode... this is what ya get if you need to hack, rather than having a newer version...
We just have to wait until YT themselves come up with a better version which include the option of having a landscape mode or not.
Bye now.
(THIS IS A URGENT CALL TO THE YOUTUBE DEVELOPERS @ YOUTUBE !!!!!!)

Loccy's BetterBrowser - now with double-tap to zoom (new version: 27/8/09 3pm/BST)

The important bit - get it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=551119
Note - this is a link to the corresponding thread on the Dream forum. All new versions and change log info can be found there (because I'm getting fed up with maintaining two threads )
What is this?
This is a new build of the stock browser, that incorporates the multitouch code from Cyan's build, along with some additional code of my own, primarily intended to make zooming less painful, and looking to gradually move towards an experience as rich as the Hero browser.
What does it do that's new, then?
* option in settings to disable the obnoxious on-screen zoom buttons that usually appear whenever you so much as breathe on the screen (turn off "Visual Zoom Controls" in the menu to get rid of them - off by default).
* when Visual Zoom Controls is disabled, option in settings to add zoom in and zoom out to the menu (although this will bump over options that are normally on the main menu to the "More..." list)
* NEW! Double tap to zoom! Double-tap the screen to zoom in. When it gets too ginormous (about four zooms) a subsequent double-tap will zoom all the way out. (Feedback request: I'm interested in what people think of the double-tap to zoom. Does it go one zoom too far before zooming all the way out?)
* As requested by fastludeh22, there is now an option for "Mobile Web View". Enabled by default. Turn it off and you'll get the full desktop version of website such as YouTube etc that autodetect mobile devices.
What do I need to run it?
It was written to run on Cyanogen builds, originally. Others have tried it on JACxROM and other ROMs with multitouch in the kernel. I personally see no reason why it wouldn't run on pretty much any Cupcake ROM, although I haven't tried it, and obviously Cyan's multitouch stuff wouldn't work without the kernel mods.
Is this the same browser that's been doing the rounds on this board lately? What's with the version 1 stuff
Yes. I've reset the version numbering and given it a name (i.e. BetterBrowser). So this is BetterBrowser v1 (which comes after Loccy's Browser v5 ). Next versions will be 1.1, 1.2, etc. It was getting a bit silly going up a version number every time I added a single menu option!
Future improvements I'm hoping to do:
* Full screen option
* Hero-style lairy Mac-type bookmarks
* Maintain zoom level across pages on same site (so it doesn't suddenly zoom back to 1:1 level when you browse to the next page).
* tidy up what behind the scenes is, unfortunately, some really kludgey code!
Thanks go to:
* Cyan, obviously, without whom none of this would have been possible, and whose ROMs continue to break new levels of awesomeness
* makethetick, who pointed me in the right direction for the code in the first places
Raspberries go to certain individuals in this thread.
*sigh* if only we had multitouch on 32A. I dream of the day
PS for asking a stupid question =x.. but how do i push this browser into the rom? i love cm roms and having an additional feature like tis 1 is always superb!
Something like this from your PC should do the trick:
adb remount
adb shell
cd /system/app
mv Browser.apk Browser.original
exit
adb push Browser-cyan-pn-mod2.apk /system/sd/app_s/Browser.apk
okay thnx! will get back to you once i try it out
OKay so I've try it out.. the zoom is gone! Nice and Thank you.. So this browser doesn't have zoom functions?
it does have the zoom function but you zoom by pinching the screen verticly, like the iphone.
btw works ok so far just flashed it.
Oh, but mine can't seem to zoom tho, even with the pinching method did you follow the steps given by Loccy also?

which phone are nyou on? it will not work on 32A devices. that is why you might not have the multitouch.

if you did not make a backup, just go and reflash the rom and you will get it back.
OKay Thanx! Everything's working fine now . Thank you.
Wow this is great, thanx..now can you make it stop refreashing on reopen and im desparate for a setting to lock it in landscape (somewhere i read that there used to be a setting like this in earlier version, maybe someone could copy code# from there)

Afraid not - that's an Android thing not a browser. When it refreshes, it's because Android has let the browser drop out of memory to use it for another app. So when you go back to the browser it's as if you're loading it from scratch all over again. At that point if it didn't refresh all you'd have would be a blank page.

That, I could probably do.
Is there no way this browser can be used on 32A? Even with the new kernel and all? Really LOVE the functions listed down
Loccy said:
I've built a new version from Cyan's source that adds a menu item so that you can turn off the (in my opinion) obnoxious zoom controls that jump up in your face whenever you so much as breathe on the screen. Obviously, if you're running a Cyan ROM, you'll still have his multitouch zoom in and out. If you're not running a Cyan ROM, you zoom in and out from the menu options.

Nope. Not yet. That's the next thing I'm planning, though, although if I get time today I might quickly add another settings option so you can enable/disable the zoom buttons in the menu (some people in the Dream forums like them, others not, so it makes sense to make it a user config option). Multitap to zoom is a bit less trivial though and will have to wait until later on in the week when I'm not doing my day job!
Bounce for new version (see edited first post for details).

Start Menu - 4/5 Items Wide

Update 27/11/2009:
I have now made a multi-device version here. It adds landscape support and the text is slightly larger to accommodate devices with smaller screens which I think looks better on the hd2 too.
Old version:
Hi All,
I wasnt very impressed with other 4-wide and 5-wide options, so I just modified the .cpr from my hd2 myself.
This doesnt touch the registry, so wont be much use for non-stock ROMs and other devices unless you edit it yourself:
HKLM\Security\Shell\StartMenu\CustomGridForm = "StartMenuCust"
You will need to soft reset after installing.
Enjoy!
Could you please post some screenshots?
No problem, screenshots added to post 1.
My CustomGridForm is already =StartMenuCust. Should your cabs work on my case (original rom)?
Other question: Did you get your start menu to work on landscape? I've seen some threads about this but I would like to know where to change this on the reg myself. Some apps might have unstable behavior when adding apps to the white list.
Thanks!
If you are already StartMenuCust it should work - I think its only when custom roms start coming out that will change.
I should have mentioned - This is just for portrait. You could change the landscape yourself as it is fairly trivial. Look in \Windows for:
StartMenuCust_480x800.cpr = Portrait
StartMenuCust_800x480.cpr = Landscape
Edit these in notepad (it is just xml). You have to change the row count to 4 and change the relative size of the images, text etc.
Just tried this out .... very effective thanks!!
just a little point, after the install, the black screen offers a Restart button or cancel; on my stock HD2 neither worked, it had frozen. A soft reset got it going again, with a 5-column display
any chance of gettin them in a straght line instead of honeycomb?>
Editing seems to be simple enough. The problem is that my start menu doesn't rotate automatically. I could use gyrator to make it work but I would prefer to use the whitelist or any other reg edit. I avoid using programs that have to be running in the background or tweak my Leo for me, as much as possible. If I reg edit and it doesn't work, I know what I did and can always change it back.
Any idea on how to do this?
Thanks!
pdgpereira:
This thread seems to cover the reg changes you need to make. I havent tried it though!
vinokirk:
Not a clue, sorry!
Armes:
I dont know why it crashed for you. It asks you to restart itself (presumably because it changed a system file) so its installers fault!
Thanks for the link. I had been there but with no previous success. I finally did it. I isolated the reg tweaks made by gsen cab, I think, and added some others. A soup of reg tweaks... The problem with cabs is that you never know what exactly they do. I'll be doing some reg cleaning in the next hour.
Now I will try out these 4/5 columns in landscape.
Thanks guys!
Cab for QVGA
Can you please release a QVGA version?

I was also wondering this... Maybe setting HexagonGrid="FALSE" in the .cpr files does the trick? Will try it out and let you know.
vdws: I wouldnt recommend touching the HexagonGrid option. Im not really sure what it is for, but if you set it FALSE your start menu wont work anymore. Well, it will, but after a long pause while it changes back to the default WM6.5 grid. You would then need to change the registry value mentioned in post 1.

I am happy to convert mine to qvga - and tried but its quite hard to judge in the emulator what it looks like. I dont have a qvga device and I cant seem to use the htc fonts in the emulator.
Have you seen:
[Tweak - QVGA] [3-Sept] | 4/5 Portrait | 4/5/6/7 Landscape | Start Menu 6.5
by chris10234?
That looks like it will suit your needs fine. Let me know if you really want my version but i would need you to test it a few times for me!
Looks amazing cant believe i spent the last 4 days without this tweak thanks for doing it before i had to as it was my plan!
Just wish that landscape would auto-rotate on it...

Thank you very much for you kind help!
If I want to change it back to original setting, is it just simply uninstall it ?
-----Note------ I had tried it, eveythings back to original by simply uninstall the cab file. Now I am using the 5 items wide, it looks smaller but more tidy than 4 items wide.
Very good and thanks.
Any chance you are going to make some landascape ones?
As i added auto-rotate with bsb-tweaks and now have 5 in portrait and landscape but landscape could much much better...
EDIT: Saw the other thread and if i go for the 5 cab there it will give me 9-wide in landscape, right?
adab: Thats right, uninstalling the .cab should restore the rom default.
chris10230: Yup, I have an updated one here which supports landscape too. For the HD2 WVGA thats 5 portrait and 9 landscape.
Cheers once again!

[Video] HD2 running Morphgear GBA Emulator in Landscape

This is a quick video of me playing Advance Wars on a HTC HD2 with the Morphgear Gameboy Advance emulator.
Plays at full speed.

You Can Download Morphgear Here:
http://www.spicypixel.com/web/page/morphgear/Download.aspx
You need to download the top one which is "Morphgear" and install it on the device.
Then
Download "Marat Fayzullin MorphModule Package" and install that.
Once these two steps are done, download the landscape skin here:
http://www.baskuipers.com/Overig/Morphgear skins.rar
Then move the two landscape part's into Games\Morphgear\Skins
if there is no skins folder make one.
Thats it. Then all you need to do is get some GBA roms and set the settings in morphgear to use the landscape pad. There is a video here showing how to do this:

How did you manage to do like in the video, i.e. load the game, switch orientation to north to make the pad appear and then back to west to play fullscreen?
Changing options is very difficult but doable without a game being loaded, but as soon as I load a game I cannot manage to change any of the settings....
Also, which are your settings for optimal performance? Even without fullscreen I cannot achieve playing Advance Wars at that speed (unless you disabled sound...)

[REQ] Slingplayer fix for WM 6.5.3?

Hi...
has anyone got a solution for the bottom softkeys/menu and icons on 6.5.3..when using the Slingmobile app?
thanks
Singh
I second the request for help on this. The program is very difficult to use without the bottom row of buttons.
Moved as not software release requests go to Q&A
i would also like to see some solution for this problem
Nothing seems to forthcoming. Anybody?
Come on guys...
Someone must have a solution?
I can't go into the ins and outs.. but lets just say... v1.6 is the one that we all be using.
So.. we need to fix this version and not wait for a new version. It's not going to be fixed in a newer release.

The only way I can get into full screen is to open the keyboard. Of course that's not totally practical having to have my keyboard open all the time for full screen. Have you tried something like Gyrator 2 to maybe see if when Gyrator puts it into landscape, the fullscreen activates?
I have a Touch Pro 2 BTW.

The keyboard will do the remote control tasks for you. I believe the keystrokes are the same as for the keyboard on the Desktop version:
The Numbers type numbers
G is Guide
Up and Down Arrows change channels.
X is exit, etc. I don't know where to get a full list.
Also, I set Slingplayer to Auto-Rotate using G-Config. The Window Class name is SlingClient. This gets me to full screen without opening the keyboard.
That's about the only way I can make it so I can use it.
If anybody wants the files in the program's folder I can send them. Just PM me.

Also, I set Slingplayer to Auto-Rotate using G-Config. The Window Class name is SlingClient. This gets me to full screen without opening the keyboard.
That's about the only way I can make it so I can use it.
If anybody wants the files in the program's folder I can send them. Just PM me.

Hmm, strange. I added Slingplayer to the Whitelist for autorotate, using G-Config and it's not rotating. I reboot and looked at the registry and can see it there(SlingClient), but Slingplayer just won't rotate unless I open the keyboard.

Hmm, weird, it stopped working for me as well. To be honest, I can't remember when it stopped, but it used to work. Perhaps it's the standard 6.5 builds that do it.
Well, this makes it even more important to fix this issue. I have submitted a support request to Slingbox, so we'll see what they have to say.
They fixed it!!!! YAY!!!

I did some modifications on SlingPlayer.exe 1.6 version to at least look better on my phone.

I have a Samsung Intrepid, I tried installing and customizing with the SPB Mobile Shell 3.5.5 but no luck. The toolbar was on the right side and my pictures wouldnt fit on the screen as well.
I was curious to if anyone had any other custom roms for Windows 6.5 on a Samsung Intrepid worth trying out??????????????

Who's us? Are you from Opera? Ok, here is a thought: what about pinch-to-zoom support
Still no pinch-to-zoom in this release?
What would be the point of pinch-to-zoom support? Opera 10 only supports two levels of zoom - zoomed in and zoomed out. Why would switching between them using a pinch instead of a tap be in any way preferable? Possibly what people actually want is not just to have two levels of zoom, but to have smooth zooming as in 9.7 - but that's a far bigger change than simply detecting a pinch gesture, what with deciding how to handle text-reflow, etc.
OK, but it does support plugins like flash, wmplayer. Well done Opera!!
(activate it via settings/advanced/plug-in)
For dutch users: head over to uitzendinggemist.nl
Multiple levels of zoom can be really handy with a huge WVGA display.
When I talk about pinch-to-zoom support I exactly mean what you said: being able to choose between different levels of zoom and use multi touch gestures to easily switch between them.
The point is that I'm kinda surprised that O10b doesn't have this feature enabled since in the previous one (9.7) it's already built-in
P.S. Thanks for the heads up xenept
nice... though it didn't inherit existing bookmarks?

I totally agree. But I think that the market for a general release is just to early. I suppose we have to wait a bit longer (till WM 7?).
BTW I don't like opera 10 on the hd2. The screen is much to sensitive for it. Reading a column is very difficult. The page constantly moves to the right or to the left when you're scrolling donw.
I do like the new plug-in support though!

Sorry, didn't mean to give the impression that I was representing Opera. I'm just a nobody.
Just wanted to glean feedback from the community before taking the plunge myself!

I was just kidding Would be nice if Opera came visit "us" here though, so we can finally ... punch-and-booeeh those guys. (Again, kidding..)
dont know what you guys are seeing but even enabling plugins doesnt seem to make flash work. Just puts a big play button on flash movies that doesnt work.

Auto rotate working for anyone? Also, unable to watch Youtube videos directly.
No auto rotate here, but it did happen at least once unexpectedly!
What is the site you are trying to test the plugins?
Youtube shoots off into the youtube app.
Those who claim that this supports Flash, can you post a link to a page that contains some Flash content which works correctly? It doesn't seem to play the videos on the BBC News site (which play quite happily in IE).
yeah, it definetely support flash, i just saw a video on pocketnow
for autorotation use bsb tweaks, works like a charm
