[Q] Turn off finger scrolling on WinMo 6.5 - General Questions and Answers

Hello,
I just upgraded to Windows Mobile 6.5. I like them, but ... i need to disable finger scrolling at least for some applications (like Total Commander), where I use stylus for drag-n-drop or drag-n-select operations.
Is it possible? If no, is it possible to disable finger scrolling at all?
Or is there any way to adjust TouchFlo settings so it can recognize stylus? (I tried Advanced Config and all TF settings, but none worked properly)
Thx for any advice

Tilt software through Camera

I have seen a tilt control device that you can use with some handhelds that emulates the iphones tilting display when you move it or turn it. Is there anything out there thats software based that detects motions through your camera and then changes the screen orientation? I know that Windows Mobile 7 will feature this. So just wondering if anyone beat MS to the punch...
I know this isn't exactly what you are looking for, but i remapped the PPT button to rotate the screen. Just search for the thread on here, I think I found it in the Tilt or Kaiser wiki, and use the buttons app under settings and set it to <rotate screen>. Works for me.

Rotate Screen on Touch Pro

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

TouchFlo Cube

I have a Touch Cruise and got used to the Cube and the finger motions that pre-TF3D device uses. I see in the Advanced Configuration Tool that the Cube can be enabled but when I've done so there's no change -- still have the TF3D screen and it doesn't recognize the upward flinger flick to activate the Cube -- turned off TF3D but it still doesn't recognize the Cube. Can anyone tell me if this is even possible? Is it possible to turnoff TF3D and turn on the prior TouchFlo Cube?
Thanks!
Even if you enable it with any tweak program, cube will never pop as it is not there in the ROM.
For you to have your cube and remove TFLO3D, here's what you should do:
1) Start>Settings>Today>Items "Tab"
Remove the Tick beside TouchFlo
2) Search for a cube CAB file and install it to device memory
I think you still should enable the cube with the tweaker you use
Remember to restart before testing
Any luck with this?
Any reccomended cube?

Screen Rotation with opening key pad??

Hi guys,
My problem. I'm not using the TF3D but installed SPB instead. However the question is that the screen only turns landscape when i open the key pad. Only app that it auto rotate is Opera.
It is very annoying that if i am reading news for example from a rss reader or something i have to open the key pad in order to read in landscape mode??
Is ther a fax or software which can solve my problem?
thanks everyone.
there are lots of apps that allow you to rotate a screen manually. apart from the auto rotate apps in the diamond forum, spb today plugins usually come with an item (through add item when adding an item to tab) that lets you change the screen oriention via a shortcut.
using something like aeplus can allow you to map a hardware button to screen rotation
Thanks friend
I want to DISABLE autorotate while slideout the keyboard (and map it to the button). Is that possible?
i'm pretty sure u can disable but I'm not sure where in the registery to change.... however, forcing rotation as I asked before I cannot do this way and I think I have to install something... but I'm not sure

Why PocketBreeze and SpbDiary wont show appointments on home screen WM 6.5?

Hello
Well I should say this two programs cant show calendar on home screen in WM 6.5. I didnt find any program for that matter which would show appointments on home screen.Fix in registry maybe anyone?
Hi
The scrolling home screen on Windows 6.5 is essentially a program that runs and hides the standard home screen. Unless the program has been updated or written to work with this new scrolling home screen you will not see anything.
If you disable the scrolling home screen (disable it in Today settings) you will see it appearing on the standard Windows mobile home screen.
Regards
Phil
Well I use Windows mobile home screen.It is not problem in showing the program.Program shows normal,the only thing that doesnt show are appointmens and sms on home screen inside that program.Its blank in the midle and on the left you can see shortcuts for the appointments,tasks,sms and mail,adress book.I tried two 6.5 roms and both have same problem.Everything works normal in three WM 6.1 roms that I tried. I curently use TOM_TOPAZ_WM6.5_v1 rom and everything works fine acept this thing.Well I use native calendar,messaging and tasks bars on home screen.No problems with them.
