If you guys didn't see this http://www.fuzemobility.com/?p=2225 the gsensor has now been enabled in a lot of applications without the third party apps (this is HTC's gsen from the TP2 with a mod to the registry). You need to install the attached apps (which come from JMZTaylor of PPCGeeks): http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=58596
You'll get gsen love in email, contacts, IE, calendar, etc and all you do is change the registry values in HKCU\Software\HTC\HTCSENSOR\GSensor\WhiteList to add or remove apps from the gsen list.
Herg is adding a few apps to this list so this will likely be updated shortly.

just causes the screen to rotate
This is cool, thanks.
BUT could you tell me what "Jmz gsensor setup.cab (4.8 KB)" does?
I installed herg62123's cab and it rotates all the simple apps I need, and leaves TF3D alone. Then I installed Jmz gsensor setup.cab and the only change was that TF3D tries to rotate, which I don't want.
seems to have a problem with the HTC Calculator ... it will rotate and go back to the TF3D screen ....
If you install Herg's app that is all you need as it incorporates the cab in the first posting with a few additional applications that herg added (so it rotates in more apps). I have it working on the calculator and it works as expected- it causes rotation. For me it does not force me back to TF3D
I find that S2P will not rotate with this installed.
Anyone has the same issue with me?
This is fantastic, thanks!
I was using Gsen but the tiny white pixel in the top middle really annoyed me. Not sure if it was intentional or not, but it was there when Gsen was active.
This also does not seem to rotate Manilla when the device is locked, as Gsen occasionally did.
Also much quicker to rotate.
I have tried Gyrator2, Gsen and this one, and this is easily the best one to use on the THD.
I can rotate almost everything with the new sdk; however i have problems with spb wallet: it rotates only if i keep it opened for half an hour in background (seems the sdk takes the whole life to recognize this module is running).
Btw:
- class for .net apps is #NETCF_AGL_BASE_
- wildcard (*) is allowed as window class name
apparently, for me, it doesn't work at all .....
i tried turning on the camera, once i turn it sideways, it will minimise the camera and go back to TF3D.... ditto for calculator, and any screen that it rotates .... it will minimise the current screen and push me back to TF3D home page ...
anybody else having this problem?
hello i need some help i install the Jmz Diamond2 G-Sensor.cab and Jmz gsensor setup.cab. nothing happen when try to sent sms it still didn't rotate actually nothing rotate. i reread the form i think im missing this part "HKCU\Software\HTC\HTCSENSOR\GSensor\WhiteList". I new at this so i don't know what it mean or how to do it. If that not the problem then anyone know why it didn't rotate after the 2 cab file i install. Thx for Help

Hi, I am the new owner of a touch hd and wanted to know what my best option was for landscape texting and if their was any auto-rotate landscape texting available? even if their is no auto-rotate, can anyone direct me to my best option for landscape texting? thanks
Derrick
Hi !! 24 hours HD owner and I adore it. Actually I found a cool application called Gyrator2 , it switches to landscape and rotate screen depending on how you hold the device ( like iphone ). Check it : http://gyrator.brins0.net/?page=downloads
you can try the new GSen from the Touch Pro 2: http://www.fuzemobility.com/gsen-now-enabled-in-more-apps/
you can add individual applications to the list as well but it works on most applications without any need to add more: http://www.mobilitydigest.com/gain-more-control-of-the-gsen-apps-tp2-edition/
I've used this on a Touch HD and it works
I have tried gsen.
At the moment im am using Dutty's 2.1 Extreme ROM and far as i know manilla should work in lanscape too.
Rotating Manilla seems to be disabled in gsen and i read that i need to add some registry keys in HKCU\Software\HTC\HTCSENSOR\GSensor\.
I dont really understand how that keys need to look like to make it work. Does anyone else had success?
Edit:
Just found out how it works.
You could also try ChangeScreen...
You could also try ChangeScreen which is my personal favourite as I find it easier to configure than Gyrator:

I have searched heaven and hell to find a way to get the D2 running in landscape view, that is for it to switch to landscape view when you rotate the screen. So far I have found apps that allows everything but manilla and its tabs (including home page) run in landscape.
Is there a way to do this?

You can make use of the Topaz drivers itself to do auto-rotation. You do not need to install additional application running in background.
There're some registry editings to be done. Nevertheless, you can use this application to help you enter those into the whitelist. You need to soft-reset after inputting all the applications you'd like to auto rotate.

Landscape manila for d2 is more annoying then useful, if you tilt the phone past the tilt point either way (portrait or landscape) it will rotate and take at least half a second to change screen, and it enerally takes more to come back to portrait. This makes it difficult to immediately read stuff or accept calls as the screens changing layout and the buttons end up in different places.
Landscape would only be useful on phones like the pro2 and it's previous variants when you need landscape while the keyboards out. Other than that just make your mail programs etc landscape capable.
There are other threads with reg keys and apps to use, just follow those and see if they give you success.
Cheers,
Scott
Graphics from the manila tabs aka TD2 homescreen are not designed for lanfscape view, therefor its like Scott (post #4) sayd, more annoying than usefull.
Thanks a lot guys. I think I see your point. Funny thing is that it was my recently installed S2U app that drove it home. It was annoying as hell when it kept switching to views.
has anyone experienced this...?
autorotation works in some apps like: music and phototab, messaging, opera....
but like the start menu NOT! and also apps like Resco file explorer...
is this possible? to make rotation work in all apps???
Apps rotation
Good point
It should be.
There is a white list that lists which apps auto rotate.
Never used it, but I might need to for this one.

You might want to look at Gyrator.
You "just" have to add application entries in the registry. Their was a tool that do it for olders phones (Diamond2, etc.). G-Config was its name. The problem is the app using the "stylet entered" event.... That, obviously, cannot be used by our HD2... Maybe the author may change things to work with HD2
alright... i thought i have read it somewhere about the whitelist... but i just can't find it.
One of u knows the .exe for startmenu? to start with...
The sensor whitelist exists on registry keys HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\HTCSENSOR\GSensor\WhiteList for Window classes or HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\HTCSENSOR\GSensor\ModuleName for program names.
For instance, sensor can be enabled in the Start Menu (default/honeycomb one) and S2U2 with the following:
Code:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\HTCSENSOR\GSensor\WhiteList]
"Start"="MSSTARTMENU"
"S2U2"="S2U2"
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\HTCSENSOR\GSensor\ModuleName]
"S2U2"="\Program Files\S2U2\s2u2.exe"
Hopefully, Gyrator will work without stylus one day.

Gyrator works on HD2 as long as you know the Windows Class Names of apps. Some are given on the website of Gyrator.

He was referring to the fact that you used to be able to "teach" Gyrator a new class/window name by running the app in question and removing the stylus. This prompted Gyrator to get said info from the topmost application. Was a very nice feature. I don't know if there's any spy type applications for windows mobile, but you need one if you don't know this info.
Yes, that particular function was what I was referring to. As for finding out window class names, I'm using Dotfred's Task Manager, which has a tab showing window class names, although it involves looking in a long list instead of just pressing a button while in the window.
EDIT: Correcting my mistake quickly: Tap-holding a process name, tapping Details and choosing the Windows tab shows the windows opened by that particular process. Why I didn't find that out before is beyond me.
alright... tried a few things but no go
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\HTCSENSOR\GSensor\WhiteList]
Name: Start
String: MSSTARTMENU (Didn't find MSSTARTMENU in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai either.....
and tried
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\HTCSENSOR\GSensor\ModuleName]
Name: RescoExplorer
String: \Program Files\Resco Explorer\Explorer.exe
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\HTCSENSOR\GSensor\WhiteList]
Name: RescoExplorer
String: RescoExplorer
But still no go!!
I don't know if this is me just being stupid or just the program.
I have the navipanel activated on my HD2 and can access copilot etc in landscape.
however when I select the dial feature the phone app comes up but it is still in portrait mode.
I installed Gyrator and the phone app does now rotate whenever I turn the phone to landscape or portrait.
But when I call the phone app up while the phone is in landscape it still opens it in portrait.
What I would like to know is is there any way of calling the phone app up and for it to immediately appear in landscape format?
Would using the rotatescreen.exe file be more useful for me?
I hope that makes sense and appreciate any advice you may have.
Paul.

excellent! Thanks that works. Btw, what would be teh modulename and whitelist name for the messaging (SMS/MMS)? I'm assuming for the modulename is TMAIL? What about for whitelist name? THanks again
Works for me too!
Shame there is no nice rotating animation like in photo veiwer but at least it works!
Cheers!
I'm using Zensor2 for auto rotating. Works well for me.
this app is amazing, thanks for the tip!!!
only thing I'm still wondering is how to disable the auto-rotation for the WM6.5 lock screen. I've been googling to find out the window class name but have been unable to find it, and I cant run dotfred task manager once the device is locked- anybody else that might know how to prevent the lock screen from rotating??
thanks a lot in advance!
I upgraded to the HD2 this week from a Tytn 2 and use my phone in my car usually for the sat nav and have the phone set sideways in the holder to give me widescreen.
However, whenever I needed to use the phone on the HD2 the dialer screen would always appear in portrait and so I have had to learn to dial with my head tilted to the side!!!
After posting about my problems with getting the phone app to rotate I did a bit of detective work and think I have fixedd it.
I added the following registry key to whitelist in the GSensor bit of the registry.
Name Data
Phone \Windows\cprog.exe
After a restart voila, the phone dialer will now open up in landscape.
I hope this is helpful to others who want to use the phone in landscape.

How well does zensor2 work here, and does it autostart with the phone? It is possible to set up exceptions in zensor2?
hi, nice to see that im not the only one expirience problems with it. i switch back to use 'changescreen' app to turn the screen. i used it bevore on athena and it has some real nice options.
its working well on hd2 so i keep it.

I have done this, and it works great... except for when opening the phone app whilst in the Navi Panel.
When the Navi Panel is in Portrait, and you access the phone, it starts in Portrait, but allows you to rotate to landscape. However, when you use Navi Panel in landscape, and access the phone, the phone screen opens in Portrait and does not rotate! I'm sure there is a logical reason, but i'm afraid i'm not that clever...
Could one of you experts guide me on how I'll make my HD2 to rotate in alla directions?? By default it rotates only 90 to the left.
I've "played" with Advanced Config but haven't manage to make it
I've tried locating posts explaining this but had no luck
Thanks in Advance
You can use either:
BSBTweaks (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=589305) or
ChangeScreen (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=468488)
I think BSB only allows other screens to rotate portrait to landscape, the OP wants full 360 rotation I think.
Pretty handy for riding rollercoasters
Yes, I'm talking about 360 rotation
THX
install gyrator 2
Dear Oblivion Gyrator is a pain in the *** to setup and I can't see why should I as the device follows the G-Sensor. The problem is that it does so only for 90 to the left and not all around. Any solution to this??
ChangeScreen allows an easy way to apply rotation in all directions in all programs.
Furthermore, and in order to avoid some undesirable rotations in phone, screen lock, camera..., you better add these applications to exceptions: cprog, manila, shell32, gwes, camera, digicompass, services

Because HTC decided it would only follow on the left side, period. So, as there's no way to change that, there are programs like Gyrator (messy) or ChangeScreen (a bit less messy) to overcome the limitation. I'm afraid you'll have to do with that. They take a few minutes to configure and you're done, It's not too bad.
But Advanced Config, in the "screen" section, has two parameters that, supposedly, "fix" this. One is for defining if the rotation is fixed and the other arranges the angle by whitch the rotation functions. Unfortunately they don't seem to work
Can I use Changescreen along with Advanced Config and BsB Tweaks??
Yes, from what I can see ChangeScreen will simply override the rotating settings from the other programs.
ChangeScreen is a good alternative, but, like I said, configure the exceptions, otherwise some rotations could be very annoying
Thank you all for your help. Could you please give me a hand with the exceptions?? I.e. camera seems not to be possible to be excepted!!!
Igo8 and lock screen turn the screen off (simply needs to press button to "re-enlight" but it is prety annoying).... Igo anyhow seems to be excepted.
Could you guide me what to write precisely in the exceptions??

Do you know how to prevent the lock screen from rotating?
Open changescreen, click show app names, open the program you want to add to exceptions, its name will show up in the middle of the screen. Enter that in the exception list, tick the portrait icon only, done.
Works fine with camera here.
I do think I'll go back to gyrator though, changescreen rotates too "early" to my liking, and this is not configurable.
Thank you. I had tried that before on the Lock Screen without success. For some reason it works now. Maybe I misspelled before.
Run the program.
In "General" tab, check all options available on this page.
In "Exceptions" tab, add the following (each separately): cprog, manila, shell32, gwes, camera, digicompass, services, commanager. Check only the first option for all these applications (usual portrait direction), and save.
Restart.
By the way, since I started using the "Proximity sensor off" application (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=624206), I disabled the lock screen. It has become useless.

hi,
i installed Kenia V Rom (WM 6.1, Sense 2.5).
I would like to disable totally any autorotate.
I tried in a lot of ways:
- installing programs (flipit, changescreen, gyrator)
- using programs and tweeks in the rom
- using some reg keys (local>software>htc>htcsensor; and other keys)..
....
...but i can't disable autorotation in album...after soft reset, the key "local>software>htc>htcsensor>gsensor deviceAvailability" (that i set to 0) come back to 1.....
any ideas?
thanks
MOD EDIT - Thread moved to General discussion forum as not related to rom development
With apologies to thread starter, I want to do the opposite! I want to have everything on my Touch HD rotate as I use it in the car landscape. The last thing I found would do this is MaxManila but nothing since and MaxSense does not support landscape.
For example, using Energy ROM with CHT, 21908 / 2015 10 Jul 10, this has rotate screen so I get into car, rotate to landscape fine, start satnav which is landscape OK, then someone calls me, phone answers in landscape then switches (without me doing anything) to portrait, finish phone call and now satnav has switched to portrait. Aargh. Where/how can I find something that just sets autorotate everything = on without having to set every single bloody application separately.
gyrator 2 does that.
and it is free and easy to set up.

From memory, Gyrator was one of the apps cooked into one of the many ROMS I tried since the last MaxManila one. I had to set each and every application I wanted to be landscape. Such a PITA, I never bothered. Plus it didn't seem to work OK with dialler (or I couldn't find how).
I just checked today on the Gyrator 2 thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=427805&page=132 and the developer himself said
I've moved over to the Android platform now, with an Acer Liquid, so when I've finished things up with my thesis, I'll likely be making programs for it. As such, it's unlikely I'll be adding new features to Gyrator
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So I am not sure I want to get used to an app which is no longer supported - I can see a time when next ROM I flash, Gyrator stops working...
I don't understand why autorotate was so easy with MaxManila and almost impossible with everything else? It is very difficult to find answers (try searching for rotate or landscape and you get so many irrelevant results - it's like searching google for "and").
Surely I can't be the only person visiting this forum who has satnav working in landscape while in the car?
the newest gyrator version has a general rotation implemented, meaning, it will turn the display in ANY program by default, the only thing, you'd need to set up are programs, that you don't want to turn, like phone or coreplayer...
Thank you. The latest version on his site I can find is Version 2008.12.10 r1 - is that the one you mean?
I do need the dialler to rotate also, because if the Touch HD is landscape in the car and the phone rings....
