For all of those who are now running SE thanks to dcs and others. Just download this little app, unzip it, run setup when connected via activesync and then add it to your start menu. Works like a charm and saves having to hard map a button to rotate your screen we are already limited to buttons as it is. I just put it at the top of my start menu and can use from any application of course. Thank you guys for all of your hard work.
not bad at all. but what i did was use phm plus; it gives you the short cut icons to the items in the settings folder (like bt, clock, input, etc). in this case i copied the "screen" shortcut and had it appear in the today screen using tdlaunch. just click on the icon and the option for landscape or portrait comes up.
cheers
thanks .. that was a very nice utility ..
Cool, another way is to assign it a hardware button, very easy t flip on the fly.
RE
Hi ZeroXtreme!
If you'll to assign the RotateSE to a hardware button its slower than the default Rotate Screen because of the rotating circle.
I think creating a shotcut on the Today screen launcher program is still a better choice and it can also relieves one of the hardware buttons for other use.
Thnx
Works as intended...
thats weird :? ...
does'nt WM2003SE has a <Rotate Screen> at "Assign a program:" list in Buttons section ?! :?:
in my i-mate JAM i can rotate the screen between 'Portrait' and 'Landscape(right-handed)' by pressing "Record" button
i wonder if xda2 wm2003se has it or not, coz mine gone junk while i'm upgrading to chines rom SE
later 8)
@NightmarE
Yes, it does have the hardware button assignment, the problem is that most of us have already used all the hardware buttons for other tasks, so a Start menu option is a nice solution...
I agree I have upgraded to the blue angel but having it in the start menu is much better than hardmapping it to a button, I posted the app for those who want a different option, if you want to waste a button on just rotation then be my guest but some of like myself don't use screen rotation that often then it is better in the start menu and not on a button that I need, considering I use alot of apps like Microsoft Voice Command.
It os better to have it in the Start Menu than in a Today Screen, if you are in the middle of a app it is easier to just open the Start Menu and rotate than go through settings->screen or close then today then back to the app...
I'm using SPB Pocket Plus and add "rotate screen to the right" to close/minimize dialog ... That's just how I do it. Free Up start menu slot for my other frequently used apps.
Right now I'm quite a happy XDA2 user
use PHM utility to add a shortcut of RotatSE in Task bar near by bluetooth icon it will be like i-mate Jam icon 8) ...
laters :lol:
I assinged one hardware button to flip the screenand made the flipting system easily and fast...
Works great on the Treo 700wx. Thanks!
Hi, is ROM version 1.66.00WWE a wm2003SE?
Just tried the software a while ago but it didn't work.

Works ok, but...

So I have a habit of sliding the phone open and then pressing the hardware messaging key, and no matter what, it never seems to work. I press the button, and Ill see the today screen, but no messaging window. I have to slide it back closed and open again and everything sorts itself out.
I've tried looking, but haven't seen anyone complain about this particular problem. Anyone else fret about this? any solutions?
no one has this problem?

I find my X01HT in landscape mode when i wake him um with the "on" button, and have to wait for it to "think" a litle bit to obey me, while that, if I try to push any command he will go crazy and the image will stay locked in the last scene and will not get actualized... Kind of annoying thing, using black Satin... But i'll try schaps now to see if that goes away...

Im on WM5.
Vijay, I don't want to disable orientation permanently. Just sometimes, I want to start messaging, so in stanby mode itself, ill open and start it up. thats what confuses the 8525, thats all. I have to close the phone, and then slide it open again for it to regain consciousness!
Its no biggie, but i was just wondering if any1 else had a similar issue.
FINALLY... WHAT YOU HAVE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR

I've come to notice that no one REALLY knew how to fully disable screen rotation on WM devices.
Some offered 3rd party apps to get the job done, some only knew how to disable automatic rotation, but when the device went into standby and woke up again - the screen rotated back. So that didnt really work.
So if you're as desperate as i was about screen rotation,
this is what you need to do:
1. Get dotfred's free taskmanager HERE, and run it.
2. Go to "Devices" tab, and look for "MIS1:" device (oem_misc.dll)
3. Long-Tap on it, and tap on "Stop"
4. Long-Tap on it again, and now choose "Set Manual"
5. Go to "Notifications" tab, and look for "Notifications\NamedEvents\VCPowerWakeupEvent"
6. Tap on it to make it selected
7. Disable it
(In dotfred's taskmanager, there should be a button for disabling it, but for some reason some devices couldn't see the button icons, although the buttons are still clickable. Under the notifications list there is an empty light-blue line - the buttons are there, eventough you can't see them.
The disable buttons is somewhere i the middle of that light-blue line, just tap the center until a message box popps up and asks if you'd like to disable this notification - Tap on yes.)All those steps are a one time deal - they stick even after an SR.
This has been tested on htc universal and works great.
The screen will keep its orientation even if you flip your screen, take out your built in keyboard, or turn the device off and back on.
The only time your screen will revert back to the original orientation is when you soft reset your device.
Hope this helps

I tried a few upgrade files here recently -
6.1 standard - Russian - Great looking Home Screen, sliding window 'frame' grows to allow access to apps from home screen, xT9 does not turn off, I cannot select 'No T9 Help' and just type my old way...
6.1 pro - Russian - Looks great, system seems to need touch screen, Number buttons do not selct and run program, 'Back arrow' button only works for text edits, not manuvering, Some of the speed increase is an overclocking I couldn't fugure how to cut off - wasn't a problem, just couldn't navigate to selections.
6.1 standard - 'OEM Cingular bloat'- Looks and works just like OEM WM5, xT9 does not turn off, I cannot select 'No T9 Help' and just type my old way...
I settled on 6.1 Standard - Russian - looks great and I can operate WMP from the home screen - I play a lot of podcasts. I would love to see a help with the xT9 problem - I would love to just type and have no help at all.
In going back and forth to try them all and the OEM from Cingular/HTC: had to re-'unlock app' after HTC/Cing OEM reload, and then re-spl in root after that.
2 notes, the OEM wrote right over the spl and replaced it with its own - maybe all could do that?
The other is for novice users - the mobile device shows up in Sync/Explore at an imaginary root (like a Desktop display in Explorer) named 'My Windows Mobile-Based Device'. You have to enter that fake root to get to the real root, that is labeled only '\'at the top of the window - that is the real root of the device, not the software 'root'.
What are the 'excel x' files? Are they just different templates?
How can I change what is listed at the home screen? (not photos, but camera for instance)?
Thanks for the work, everything worked even when not to my personal tastes.
Edits...
found out the 'x' office files are compatible with office 2007 and later, xlsx, docx, and so forth
found out holding the * key gives me a menu to turn off xt9 (hallelulah!)

I found it, any explanation on how to use the icon and icon files anywhere?
Is there any app or way to change the soft keys for each touchflo 3d tab? Like under the people tab thare is the "all people" on the left and the "menu" on the right. I would like to change the all people from going to contacts to going to pocketcm. Is there any way of going about this? Changing some other soft keys would be nice as well.
Use SoftKey manager
Thanks, already tried that one, only lets you change the right and left soft keys on the home tflo3d tab. I want to change the soft keys on any of the other tflo3d tabs like people, or messages, and programs. Any one else with any ideas?
Did you mean TAB-s?

No they used the word "each" before the word tab so they phrased the question correctly. "each tabs" or "each tab?"
But yeah, I am looking for the same thing. I will post it here if I find it. If not... Off to the reg we go!
It has to be doable because people mod the reply button all the time. If you can mod that then you shoudl be able to mod anything, right? Possibly a hex editor for exe files? I hope so bad its not hard coded but you never know.....
soft buttons on tf3d home
I'm also looking for something like this. With touchflo3d turn off, the home screen left soft button will be "calendar" by default, but when you have a reminder/notification, it switches to "notification" "reminder", etc.
when touchflo3d is enabled on the home screen, this button becomes controled by tf3d, and while you can customize the button, it no longer becomes context sensitive - I find we have to hit the icons at the top bar (live msg, reminder, etc). these little icons are a bit hard to hit. ANyone know if the tf3d homepage soft button can become a 'notification' popup activation button?
dwight.
I think that the stock rom actually has this...so I know that it's possible. That also bothers me.

Does this let me set one of my softkeys on my home screen to "notification"
Just a quick update
I switched to a new rom last night from 'aruppenthal', 'RRE HTC Fuze ROM Ver 4.5 Special Edition" (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=467592), and it seems that this has a different behavior from my previous rom "PROven_ROM_WWE".
in any case, my tf3d home page now has "calender" and "contacts" as the lower soft buttons, and my reminders are coming up and seem to be changing the lowerleft softkey to "dismiss". I've yet to see "notification", but i'll keep an eye on it for a few days and let you guys know about the behavior.
one thing I left enabled this time, was the "system status" window when you hit the topbar icons - this has a shortcut to a mail icon when there's a notification for that, and when hitting it, it shows the respective notification popup at the lower part of the window. That might be a 'workaround' for those who preferred the old notifications but want to keep tf3d.
dwight.

Edit Registry below, you can modify first page of TF3D Soft Key.
\HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila change value of each key (LSK for Left Soft Key, RSK for Right Soft Key)

This doesn't solve this question - this solution is already mentioned. Please read the previous posts before posting.
Any solutions to this questions yet? Been searching both the forum and google without any luck....
Well, the solution is actually SSMaHo! Just do a search for it. Works like a charm and lets you remap pretty much anything
I also have same issue with X1.
Att the Settings Tab, I really want to change left soft-ket to launch the System Setting but default is CommManager.
I already searched the forum and google with no luck. So I tried to looking into source code and just found something.
It is correct or not, however "settings.mode9" file have embedded LUA codes and these codes contains some soft-key assignment codes.
BTW, codes have not only one assignment code, it contains several assignments and TF3D can apply each soft-key by situation(or any registry? macro? configuration?) I think.
ok, so i want to remap the default today screen contacts softkey to bring up the touchflo 3d 2 contacts but cant find how to link to it. any takers?

this totally solves the problem in manila, touchflo3d 3.0
none of the other solution worked for me
you need manila editing
Hi guys, i was pm Captain_Throwback about this and here his answer.
You can only remap the soft keys in the Manila Home tab. Changing the others requires Manila editing, and may not even be possible. Here are the registry keys for the Manila Home tab soft keys:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila]
"HomeLSKText"=""
"HomeLSKPath"=""
"HomeLSKArguments"=""
"HomeRSKText"=""
"HomeRSKPath"=""
"HomeRSKArguments"=""
Only the "Text" and "Path" keys need to be used - the "Arguments" key can be left blank.

I made an application on VB.net that can assign Home Softkeys to any program in Start Menu, also you can assign it to any other touchflo's tab...
This application is tested on Raphael device with Touchflo 3D 2.0
thanks....
cool.... this worked very easily.... I don't want to install another Cab file just to change the button name.....
thanks again.

Works perfect! I'm using gangsters 6.5 windows mobile rom, desperately trying find a solution and no one elses worked! Can't believe your post has been sat here all this time, the amount of people that should know about it is ridiculous!!! Made changing the soft key assignments in touchflow 2 (3d) real easy.
So glad to have the 'phone' LSK to TomTom and the 'camera' RSK to PSShutXP!
Very greatful!
Before I get on to my question as the title states, I'd just like to say that I'm a long time lurker of this site, however this is my first post as you can tell. I've used a number of ROMs for my Sprint Mogul over the last year and a half or so and just want to extend my appreciation to all those that have put so much time and effort into these devices.
Now onto the question at hand,
I have downloaded and loaded up Ryan Mogul's WM6.5 sprint heavy ROM that he listed. And everything is working very smoothly so far. However, I have to say that I'd really like to add a lock button to the Windows Default Today screen. The only way I have found to lock the phone so far is to go to start and then click lock at the bottom left. I have looked through the utils and options and so far the only way to add the lock to the today screen is to get rid of the sliding menu on the today screen and go back to the old style from 6.0-6.1. Can anyone tell me how I can add a lock button to one of the panels on the windows default today screen?
Any help that can be provided is much appreciated.

i found a cab for a program called devicelock 1.2. i installed that and then mapped it to one of the buttons that i don't use (the press and hold for voice command). i find it quicker to use a hard key than to navigate to it. i also added it to the applications panel (or whatever those things are called). i am not sure where the .exe is at but you can manually map it as \windows\start menu\programs\device lock.lnk
I have installed MemoryMap for PDa version 5.1.3.
It has opreviously worked well - but not this time.
The Menu bar onlyu shows 50% of the keys. The all importnat GPS Lock button is missing. It appears the Menu Bar is just too big to fit on the screen and the right most 3 buttons slip of the side!
A posisble solution is to allocate the GPS Lock to a button using MemoryMap options. However I cannot find out which button is which.
My prefernce is to see the whole menu bar - any ideas?
Thanks in anticiaption

Stand to be corrected but I don't think it is possible to have all buttons on view in portrait mode, I have set application to auto rotate in BsB thus all buttons show in landscape mode and lock button can be operated.
I also can't assign hardware buttons to custom commands, once again i don't think this is possible in version 5.13.

Thanks for the reply.
I am sure that, using some version of WM5.?, I did have the buttons on view in portrait. However, as you say, using WM6.5.X the device needs to be in landscape to see all the buttons.
Elsewhere on this site the HyperRom Ultra v15 is recommended for MemoryMap - sorry cannot find the link at the moment.
I intend to install HyperRom and see what that is like.

I have MM 5.1.3 build 716 and all the buttons are visible along the bottom in portrait mode - including GPS lock, info toggle half of the 'i' icon.
I'm also on stock 3.14 ROM.
It sounds like you managed to install the QVGA version instead of VGA version - how I have no idea unless you have used a .cab ?
Mine was installed from the MM desktop version - send to PDA option.
It's the HD2 that prevents hardware keys being used in MM, not MM itself - 5.1.3 hardware keys used to work fine on my old Dell Axim.
