Guest jm012a9749 Posted July 19, 2006 Report Posted July 19, 2006 After looking through my windows director i noticed two sets of files.... cprogback.png and cprogback_land.png WindowsMobile.jpg and WindowsMobileLS.jpg after looking at them it appears they are intended for a QVGA landscape screen. this lead me to the question can i rotate my screen so it is landscape? perhaps with that screen rotate hack i've seen elsewhere in the forum? Phil
Guest w411y Posted July 19, 2006 Report Posted July 19, 2006 I asked this before regarding my Hurricane and I got the answer no. I havn't seen or heard of it being done but there could be a possible solution. Landscape devices like the Q use the LS image. When making homescreens for the Q, the default width is 240 and the default height is 320 :) but instead of bgimage it uses bg-imagerotated
Guest jm012a9749 Posted July 19, 2006 Report Posted July 19, 2006 (edited) Hurricane runs WM2003SE though... thought screen rotation was one of the standard elements of WM5? got the screen rotate hack on my 8310 but cant tap the icon next to the batter icon to rotate it! :) any software for smartphone that lets you 'tap' on the screen? i would try soti but their website is down atm and i'm running vista so i doubt it would work without active sync.... i'll try later on my XP machine when i get chance. @w4lly wasnt there a plane crash where you live?

Guest mini_man Posted July 19, 2006 Report Posted July 19, 2006 Yeh also wmp has a skin somewhere that has the orientation of Landscape but I never got that working either. Anyway I installed this program on my smartphone and then dug out fake cursor for WM5 and installed it. (fake cursor is a mouse pointer controlled by the joystick that allows touch screen emulation). So installed and then clicked and these are the disappointing results. Cant see what happens here but this happens on my really old computer when the screen resolution is too high for my old monitor which could be what happens here. Is this hack designed for 240x320 or is it designed for the 640x480 devices. Sam btw here is fake cursor if you wish to have a go, testing this on a C600 with Imate rom. pirazu.zip
Guest mini_man Posted July 19, 2006 Report Posted July 19, 2006 Ok was looking around the phone and I found the skin i was talking about. It doesnt actually come up in the list unfortunately but here it is. landscape.zip Sam

It doesnt actually come up in the list unfortunately but here it is. landscape.zip Sam that fake cursor thing does that every time i click with it and the screen rotate works on the prophet which has the same screen res. i'll try soti from my xp machine. phil
Guest mini_man Posted July 20, 2006 Report Posted July 20, 2006 Oh so its not actually the rotation its just fake cursor! Ill try one of the other ones I know Sam
Guest mini_man Posted July 20, 2006 Report Posted July 20, 2006 hmm! tryed it with Sphelper. But when I go up to the bar it solos istelf and everything else on the bar dissapears but then when i hover on it it vanishes! very odd. Sam
Guest mini_man Posted July 20, 2006 Report Posted July 20, 2006 Ok so this is the image of what happens. Very annoying as you can see. Sam
Guest mini_man Posted July 20, 2006 Report Posted July 20, 2006 Hmm I installed soti but I cant seem to figure out how to use a tap function to pretend to be a stylus. You got any further yet jm012a9749
Guest conan_troutman Posted July 21, 2006 Report Posted July 21, 2006 surely you would have to create a hin land scape mode and select it before rotating then reg edit all back ground images to match?
Guest jm012a9749 Posted July 23, 2006 Report Posted July 23, 2006 Hmm I installed soti but I cant seem to figure out how to use a tap function to pretend to be a stylus. You got any further yet jm012a9749 SOTI is a no go ;) can't think of anything else that will let me 'click' it as im not entirely convinced SOTI was....... would be handy if paul created a shortcut in the start menu for it... i'll PM and ask :) Phil
Guest mini_man Posted July 23, 2006 Report Posted July 23, 2006 gr8! possibly b4 tomorow :) Im going on holiday for a week and will be viewing modaco and internet on my smartphone. Probably would be easier in landscape thought! Sam
Guest w411y Posted July 23, 2006 Report Posted July 23, 2006 @w4lly wasnt there a plane crash where you live? Phil [EDIT: Added the Screen_Rotate.cab thing i was on about in the first post] Yeh I was on my way to McDonals on my bike and there was all police and ambulance everywhere etc. Back on topic... don't give up I hope you find a way. Then again I don't because it will be another addition to "Have C550 Owners Been Duped?"
Guest mini_man Posted July 23, 2006 Report Posted July 23, 2006 heh heh stupid orange! Cant you get away with the give me a C600 trick I did?
Guest w411y Posted July 23, 2006 Report Posted July 23, 2006 heh heh stupid orange! Cant you get away with the give me a C600 trick I did? Nopes ;) It was a phoen I got from my mothers upgrade this time last year.... and she just nabbed the upgrade. So as far as they are concerned shes using the W810i ... no concern for the poor ol' C550 any more :)

Then again I don't because it will be another addition to "Have C550 Owners Been Duped?" im gutted about the alck of WM5 for c550 too :D but still you can upgrade :) i'll see what i can do in the next few days about screen rotate. thanks 2 every1 for the encouragement ;) lol Phil
