rotate screen via button press? - Touch HD Themes and Apps

has this been done, I have tried the gsensor programs and they work ok but not always perfect, for example you want to type a message first you have to wait till the program is loaded then rotate otherwise you have to rotate back and forth until the screen is how you want it. What I would really like is an app where when you press both volume up and volume down the screen goes into landscape(or long hold of end key but i think both volume would be better)
is this available? I couldnt find it anywhere.

Perhaps you could use MortScript to rotate and assign it by "AE Buttons" to longpress VolUp. Also thought about it - but had no time yet.
Espacially cause I need landscape only in my car and wanted to rotete it by "BlueStarter" & Mortscript. But I dont know how to automatically change back to "portrait" if bluetooth device is not detected anymore.

if you have Advance confiq you can assign a button to rotate the screen.
I have been using this as I didnt like any of the auto-rotate programs.

Hi because of your post I installed advanced config along with hd tweak and find my device seems more responsive after changing a few things which is great, so thanks for that. but I cannot figure out how to assign a button to change orientation what option am I missing?

Not too sure bout the advance config program, but this is wat i did for manual screen rotation:
settings --> buttons --> Program Buttons (tab) --> 2. Assign a program: select <Rotate Screen>
Now everytime you press and hold the "Call" key, the screen should rotate...

if your button settings don't have screen rotation as an option just follow these instructions: http://www.fuzemobility.com/enable-long-press-of-phone-key-to-rotate-screen/

Hi guys thanks for the advice, I tried what you have suggested but for some reason my long call press isnt recognized, no matter what action I tell it to take.
I fear I will need to do a hard reset to sort out my phone even though I only just flashed a new rom and put in all my settings.

I've just been trying this out and too cannot assign anything to the send button. No matter what I tell it to do nothing happens!
I'm currently running Dutty 3.7 rom.

PERFECT and no need for any advanced config

i dont have the "screen rotate" option too in my settings.
install advanced config-->start advanced config--> go to "screen"-->enable "show orientation settings" -->end adv config
go to start-->settings-->personal-->buttons--> and now you have the opotion "rotate screen"
after this you can rotate the screen on long press the call button.

I have the option, its just long press of call button doesnt register whith rotation or any other option I select

alternatively, install the small utility that I created so that I can choose the orientation mode from the button that I've mapped to.

Using "OK" Buttons to close apps?

The OK button only minimizes. Anyway to map it so it closes the open application? I know holding down the "X" button closes, but then I have to touch the screen.
Try installing the x-button application. I've constantly used the ok button to close apps with no problem.
I'm using black 2.0 and have never had to manually close apps since wm5.

AE Button Plus is what you want. You can map almost all the buttons on outside of your device to do what you want. One of the included options is to "CLOSE ACTIVE APPLICATION"
I've attached a cab, and below are the details on the application from their website
This utility extends functionality of hardware keys on Windows Mobile devices. It allows you to:
intercept almost any standard button: application buttons, WM5 SoftKeys, Volume slider, Action and even Red/Green phone buttons
distinguish up to 4 different keypress events on each button grabbed (single, double, triple and "long" keypresses).
remap each of the keypress events to "virtual" application button or assign them directly to one of the wide set of built-in actions.
As a result you may "convert" volume slider to up/down arrows, assign several essential application buttons to these "SoftKey" buttons and even assign your favorit alternative dialer to red/green phone buttons.
Current list of built-in keypress actions
Run Application
Emulate keypress of Enter (Action), Esc and up/down/left/right keys
Emulate standard application buttons
"Virtual Application Button"
Being specified as keypress action, "Virtual button" appears in standard Start -> Settings -> Buttons setup dialog and may be assigned here.
Volume up/down
Emulate Soft Keys
Close (terminate) active application
Switch next application
Alt+Tab (switch between two last applications)
Task Manager with charge level / memory summary info. Task manager may be operated with directional pad (up/down - choose application, left/action - switch to, right - terminate) or finger/stylus.
You may apply filters to hide annoying applications (e.g. Phone)
Ok/Close
Start Menu
Switch Display Off/On. Once you switch display OFF you may turn it back ON by the same keypress event or simply pressing Power On button.
Switch BlueTooth Off/On
Switch WiFi Off/On
Vibration mode Off/On (WM5 only)
Turn Off PDA
Soft-Reset PDA (Soft Reset)
Screen rotation
Go Online / Drop DialUp connections / Trigger Online
Disable "Power Off device if not used..."
Switch to Today screen
Clipboard operations: Select All / Copy / Cut / Paste
Memory Monitor
Battery Monitor/Uptime Forecast. It will show battery voltage/current/temperature if corresponding sensors are available
Current Date/Time
Pop-up menu with important AEBPlus actions. This feature is available in activated version only
Any built-in action may be initiated by shortcut calling aebplus.exe with corresponding command line parameter
You could go for the free and better working PQzII. AE was a bit temperamental for me. I use it in conjunction with Wisbar Advance 2 to minimise some programs & close others. There is an option to close with OK or see below for mapping the OK button.

Alt F4 under HW button
Hello, my solution is to map small application Alt F4 under HW key... I used for this application HButton, which allows me to map under one button n number of apps (for short push #1 app, longer push #2 app...), so I have under messaging button Messaging + Alt TAB and under IE button Opera Mini + Alt F4. Easy, used only 3 small free apps.

Looks really good.
sure so many apps out there, free and commercial, but quickmenu is one I use, simple and powerful, I think it's the best, give it a try. Install, run it once, and go to Options to checkk to use the OK button.
Well, that was great - AEB worked wonderfully for me. It was exactly what I needed - one button to open and close Bluetooth.
It was a headache specially with the password lock every 15 min, to unlock, open connmgr, enable bluetooth and the same for the reversal. Specially in the outside light where you cannot see the screen very well, typing the password to unlock was a disaster.
Now I only need to press power and press the button fro BT to enable or disable it.
Thanks a lot!

[REQ] Need a shortcut to toggle Bluetooth on/off

I am using a BT handsfree in my car. I need a quick method to toggle BT on/off mith the minimum of clicks. Ideally, on the home screen.
Any solution is appreciated, also existing apps/tweaks whatsoever.
The option to keep BT all the time on is not acceptable, due to many reasons eg. battery consumtion.
Thanx
Search for vjvolubilis. It's here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=255911
try ammars or panoshas action screens (search for them in this section of the blackstone apps)
work a treat - ammars action screen enables bluetooth with discoverability and panoshas just enables bluetooth
Hi!!
Try Launch Manager...its veeeery goood
you my use the previous tips or just get that http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=362115, simplest of possibilities....this cab add to your programs an icon which tapped make your bluetooth on and discoverable mode....tap it again and it will switch it of.
AEButton Plus will do what you're after. I have it set to a tripple press of the up volume button (double is WiFi toggle, single: Volume) but you can set it to anything, even a single press.

It's not actually only the toggle, it's a whole software to programmatically change buttons behavior.
Don't know what you mean with two files, all you need is a .cab file. Simply comy it somewhere to device (e.g. onto mictoSD per USB cable) and then start it in Windows Explorer.
During install you will get the settings window, where you can perform settings as I suggested above.

[SOLVED] WidgetLocker Lockscreen issues on the SGS2 i9100

I've been having issues with WLL on my SGS2.
The app works but I can't seem to be able to add custom sliders.
There is no WL themes folder and wltheme.zip files don't install.
Has anyone else been having this issue on the SGS2?
NO LONGER AN ISSUE. Turns out apk was mislabled. version installed was 1.2 not 2.02. Sorry about all this. I tried to delete the thread but couldn't.

I don't mean the sliders that come with the app. I'm having trouble adding custom sliders and themes like CowonD3Lock, PowerMod3, ArrowSlider, etc.
WidgetLocker works without a hitch on my Galaxy S2 - with custom sliders installed. The way I moved them to the phone was via Dropbox. I moved the slider .zip-files to the Dropbox on my computer, then opened the (Dropbox) phone app and selected open with WidgetLocker for the slider archives.
Problem solved. Thank you guys
i have another problem with WL, when i want to copy files to my phone thru USB cable it says i must stop all running programs. When i stop WL everything is OK.
Is there any solution to this? (if you understand my problem)
WidgetLocker is awesome, however i haven't been able to use the Alternative Wallpaper option. Anyone else having that issue? I can select one and resize it but it never appears on the lock screen. Instead I only see the homescreen wallpaper.
SOLVED!
Apparently it just didn't like me resizing the orange background selection box to max. Leaving the size just shy of full got it working.
bugs and issues
So, is it just me?
I've been trying to play with settings but unfortunately these issues remain on SGS2:
Home Button
I have unchecked "Allowed Home Button" but I can still unlock the screen when I press the home button. Press once to see WL (with a small delay - bigger than on SGS), press again to unlock.
Wake Up
I can wake up the device also by using the power button despite having Easy Wake Mode unchecked.
Stock Lock
I always see the stock orange unlock screen first when a text message or email is received. Keyguard Dance is checked. If there is a missed call, it's fine, I see the WL. Stock screen was also on when the device was downloading a Gameloft game and it is also shown before an alarm is launched as well.
Notification
I have a slider for text messaging and emails with notifications enabled. Let's say I have both unread messages as well as emails. If I unlock it, read them all, the notification bubbles are still there - they're not cleared. Unless I clear them again using each individual slider.
Can someone please help me with this... I am trying to disable the 4 default sliders to use a custom one in their place... but CAN'T. I have searched the settings but can't find out how to do this still... arggghhhh.

You don't use settings menu to change the sliders, you must hold on a blank spot on the screen for a couple of seconds, the choose custom slider. To change what the slider shall do you just drag the slider and you will get a menu what you want it to do and change icons and so.
Hope this helped you a little bit on the way.

[HOW TO] [ROOT] COMPLETELY Disable Capacitive Buttons

Now that we have a few ROMs that have functioning settings for Nav Bar, as well as a great MOD Here, I thought it would be helpful to provide the simple steps for disabling the capacitive buttons on our GSIII's. It's a very simple process.
1) Open Root Explorer (or equivalent "Root" Browser)
2) Tap "System" (must be rooted)
- For ES File Explorer: Tap Menu > Settings > Scroll Down to "Path Settings" > Tap Up to Root > Scroll Down to "Root Settings" > Tap Root Explorer > Allow Super User permissions > Tap Mount File System -- All these things must be done; otherwise you won't be able to reach the system folder
3) Tap "usr" > "keylayout"
4) Long Press on "sec_touchkey.kl"
5) Tap "Open in Text Editor"
6) Delete everything in here
7) Reboot
Don't worry...this file is automatically backed up upon backing out of the text editor - you'll see "sec_touchkey.kl.bak" in the "keylayout" folder and you can simply delete the "sec_touchkey.kl" file that's empty now, and erase the ".bak" from the backup to restore functionality after a reboot.
**NOTE** This does NOT disable the capacitive button backlights - that's a different can of worms that isn't a simple file manipulation process, at least not that I've found yet - somebody that knows otherwise let me know and I'll update the OP.
Enjoy!
***THREAD CLOSED DUE TO LACK OF ACTIVITY. YOU MAY PM ME IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS PERTAINING TO THIS***
There's also a nice mod HERE that will allow you to use a "Pie" functionality, like the new browser allows in the lab settings, or a complex assortment of gestures that could replace the need for capacitive buttons. Check it out, I use it just as a supplement because sometimes it's handier to not reach down to even the nav bar buttons.

Not 'hotswap' per se...but I bet, with some ingenuity and an app called Tasker you could pull it off. Don't ask me to step you through the tasker process though, the functionality is there, but it's an advanced procedure that I don't have experience with. Here's a Video that talks through the process of having tasker follow specific "step-by-step" commands, that you could set up to make this change on the press of a button. It won't be as cut and dried as his example, but, like I said, the functionality is there.
Hope this helps!
Great idea. I have the app so will dig into it this weekend and will report back any success. Thanks for the thought.

thats the Rom i tried but it does not like what it described
It is sooooo simple once you know how, and I'll teach you right now.
use the dialer and press the button to check email.
then look in the logs of the dialer and add the number that was dialed to your contacts as message
then, do this:
1. Long press on an empty space on your homescreen
2. Select “Shortcuts”
3. Select “Direct dial”
4. Select Contact you wish to have as a direct dial - that would be "Message" or whatever you named that contact
To add a direct dial shortcut on a device running Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich):
1. Press the main app drawer icon (middle icon in system tray)
2. Scroll to “Widgets” folder (on the right) until you reach the “Direct Dial” widget
3. Press and hold the “Direct dial” widget until you see the home screen grid
4. Release the direct dial widget wherever you’d like your widget (shortcut) to appear on the home screen
5. Once you release the widget (shortcut) it will pull up your Contacts list
6. Select Contact you wish to have as a direct dial
You do not have to do both. Just one of the sets, depending on your ROM version.
Good Luck & Aloha!

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Then it's even simpler...
longpress on the homescreen and select add shortcuts
at the next screen, select Applications
Then just scroll to the messaging application of your choice...... it would be messaging if you had not installed any thing like chomp or whatever.
That's all, but you will not be able to change the icon on the dialer to go to something other than whatever is programmed in the dialer app itself... Which for all the roms I've seen, its Voicemail Messages.
Here is the only one I can find and it has the msg button you want.
you can easily have it pushed to your phone for nstallation by clicking on the link, and when the screen changes to the playstore site, click on the install box on the top left.

I presume you don't read Korean so when you open the app, there will be 2 check boxes on the right side, just below the midpoint of the screen. check both and press the yes on the bottom of the screen This is the EULA for the app.
When the app opens, you can press settings on the top right and tap the Language setting down arrow and select English
There are a bunch of options you can choose or not to have enabled..
The app is free, so if you don't like it, uninstall, and no loss....
If you want to just do it from the phone, go to market, and search for Smartdial
You will see 2. Pick the one with (Dialer)
you should be good to go.
With this app, no matter what ROM you use or choose in the future, it will have your msg button!
Hope it solves your quest!
Aloha!
thanks
